The Barmy Arms has been a Twickers landmark all my life but my word it has bucked up lately. Historic interior now really comfortable with cosy open fires in season and a lovely front area overlooking the river, prettily lit at night. Friendly, professional young staff served us with great food. Well done everyone. Heres to some fine spring and summer nights by the river.

This is a gorgeous setting but unfortunately the food wasn't very good, especially as we had to wait for it for almost an hour on a very quiet afternoon when there was only one other table in eating. We found the staff pleasant enough but they couldn't help when I enquired about booking an event. They told me to email and I'm still waiting for a reply, this was almost 2 weeks ago. We will be going elsewhere for our event now, which is a shame.

During my recent visit to The Barmy Arms in Twickenham, I had the pleasure of being served by Karim, whose exceptional service truly enhanced my experience. From the moment I arrived, Karim's warm and friendly demeanor made me feel right at home. He was attentive throughout my visit, ensuring that my meal and drinks were promptly served and that I had everything I needed. His professionalism and genuine care for the patrons were evident, and he managed to keep everyone in good spirits even during busy times. It's clear that Karim is a valuable asset to The Barmy Arms, and his dedication to excellent service is commendable. I look forward to returning, knowing that staff like Karim will make each visit enjoyable.

The Balmy Arms is an extremely popular Twickenham Pub on the Embankment, looking across the River Thames to Eel Pie Island. A large area of outside seating which is most popular except in bad weather, and a small but cosy bar inside. Good quality pub food is usually available, plus a changing range of real beers. Great riverside views and many places of interest make this a popular pub, both with locals and tourists. Just behind the Barmy Arms is Church Street, another popular tourist spot with plenty of restaurants.

Sadly not the best visit to The Barny Arms just before Xmas (22nd). Staff were friendly as always but service was particularly slow and it wasn't a full pub. I had a steak sandwich and chips which was perfectly fine even though it was quite light on steak and the meat had a grey look to it. My wife went for the mussels and this is where it went wrong. Initially she noticed that the mussels hadn't been cleaned properly which in turn causes grit in the dish, she then began to realise that every other mussel was closed and after looking through we discovered that 14 of the mussels were unopened which was more than half the total. Staff were informed and apologised and assured us that the dish would be taken off the bill. They asked if we would like a replacement dish but unfortunately as it had taken quite a while to get the food initially we didn't have time to wait for a reorder. It was all handled professionally which was appreciated as it's never nice to complain about food but this wasn't something you could overlook. We've had positive experiences here before (see my other reviews) but making an error with mussels is something that the chef on duty shouldn't have made. I don't believe this is a common occurrence and we'll be back for another visit but this particular visit sadly scores a 3.

We went to the Barmy Arms for a Sunday lunch... unfortunately had a dreadful experience. The slowest service we've ever experienced in Twickenham. Waited for around 90mins for food to arrive. There was zero communication from the moment we stepped inside until our food arrived. We were very close to leaving but toughed it out since we had little children that were hungry. The other tables were not so 'fortunate'... there were multiple complaints and food orders either being sent back or never arriving, by which time many of them left. No doubt the manager will just copy/paste a standard reply to this review (similar to other 1 star reviews) and say no one complained on the day or some similar comment. To be clear, we, as well as multiple others, made complaints and provided feedback that there needs to be better communication if food is taking longer than usual, or at least keep people updated of when it might be ready. It's a shame as we would have loved a better experience, but will avoid having food here again. I hope this feedback will be taken on board as you will lose more customers if this trend continues.

Waited just over an hour for our meal, we ordered the Christmas turkey dinner and it was only just edible. The turkey looked and tasted like it had come out of a can, there were no greens, although the menu said sprouts and you could break your teeth on the stuffing. Not bad for just under £17 Looks like a nice pint for a pint but I would not recommend eating there.

Poor service and rude staff member, especially given the price. Ordered pot of tea and a mince pie, cost £6.95. Minute or two later my name is called quietly, no eye contact, no engagement. I went to the counter and the member of staff just pointed at the tray with my pot of tea etc. I asked about the mince pie and she rolled her eyes and said “this is coffee, cakes are down there” pointing along the counter and round the corner. I said to myself “oh, I’ll go and get it myself then shall I?” as I went to get the mince pie. As I sat down the eye rolling woman on the coffee counter shouted across to my table “is there a problem?” I said that I would have expected better service given the price, supposed reputation etc. she snapped that “that’s how it works, we’re not a table service cafe”. I said that I didn’t want to discuss this any further as I’d made my point and didn’t want to get into an argument across the cafe but she carried on hectoring me, basically behaving like a spoilt school girl, determined to have the last word. I ignored her. Thin woman, long hair, nose piercing.

This could have been a lovely meet up with friends and we were even prepared to overlook the average food as we were having an enjoyable time. However, some of the staff/mmnt are arrogant in manner and think they are doing you a favour by letting you visit. We won't be returning.
