London Apprentice in Hounslow

Fantastic menu that lives up to expectations. Elena was impressive and quite witted. Nice spot along the Thames for a pint or a quality meal.

Lovely pub, excellent food, great staff! Highly recommend

Excellent food and lovely staff. Highly recommended.

Nice and friendly pub in a good location in Isleworth! Friendly staff, the best part is the garden with the river view.

The worst Sunday Roast I have ever had in my life. Meat was beyond overcooked, impossible to chew. Vegetables and potatoes undercooked. Hard uncooked fries. Was it a joke? Overpriced trash food. Service was lacking the ability to serve. A very lazy girl.

Based on multiple visits the restaurant is always understaffed. Staff are great but have too much to do.

Excellent food and great service.

Wonderful terrasse overlooking the thames

Such an interesting and iconic pub in isleworth very beautiful and lovely pub grub with great beers and lovely gardens overlooking the Thames a true gem of London

Good range of drinks and beer. Great atmosphere, just by the River Thames. Will go back soon. Parking can be difficult.

Denied entry due to private function. Nice spot right on the river bank. Old historic wharf and pub. Tudor or there about i think

Nice food, a bit slow on food services, will come again.

Very cool pub with a nice outside terrace.

Lovely setting. Staff today, not very friendly, restricted menu

It's a beautiful area just needs a clean outside

We've been visiting on a weekend and it wasn't very busy at all. It's a truly beautiful pub in a historic building with a wonderful outdoor area on the river. The food was good, although my dish with haddock and beans was a bit spicy, and it was not mentioned on the menu. Other than that, it was tasting good. The service it was very laid back. Overall it is a wonderful pub and it is certainly worth a visit.

Went there last weekend for my son’s birthday meal with family. We preordered our meal on the managers recommendation to ensure the food we wanted was available, to be told we couldn’t have it as it wasn’t delivered. When choosing other options, also told items not available. Menu very limited on choice so you’d expect what’s listed to be there but things happen and I guess couldn’t be helped. The two staff behind the bar, where rude, the one taking our order was very clearly unhappy to be inconvenienced by having us to choose other options. When the meal came my sons meal wasn’t as expected with most of the plate was salad so we asked for additional garlic bread to be told no you can’t have that it wasn’t on the original order. What restaurant refuses a customer to buy additional food?? We didn’t ask for a knife for the cake we bought with us and decided to leave. Will not go back again as it’s gone down hill massively. Used to have a large menu with a lovely lady manager who’s now left it seems. Such a shame.

We pre orderd our meal days ahead of our visit but on the day had no meals had to have something entirely different not very good and a smile from the staff would not go a miss very poor never going back

Have seen about three management changes in the last 6-7 years. The latest one, although nice, are not as friendly as the previous ones, that made people feel specially welcomed. The ladies restrooms still need much attention: door lock, paper in its “right” place, message to customers of “please leave the toilet as you would like to find them” or similar-educating clients is at times urgent. The building needs some renovations by Greene King, well overdue. The pub food is nice, usual LA style. Had my Vegan burger 🍔, nice! The pub old and lovely atmosphere is what really makes it. More friendly and warmer staff, with repairs by the Greene King owners, may bring clients in drones.

The food & drinks were good, lovely atmosphere. However it has soured my experience when the rude staff forced us to go inside after 9pm without asking us politely and also closed the bar early like 10pm on Sunday. No warning or last order. We were planning to leave 10.30pm but the staff were rude. Fortunately I kept the photos of staffs and the bar were closed at 10pm.

Great historic pub! Worth a visit

Despite a cute waterside area and view, this was otherwise a fail. I was told to order by table number but my table didn’t have one. When waiting at the bar to order with menu in hand, the wait was long since a large group was splitting checks etc (it happens). Then the cashier said sorry the kitchen is closed. 2:12pm. The draught beer had a sign say nothing available on tap today. The restroom stall didn’t have a lock or something to secure the door. —-What’s going on here?—- Consolation: other (attempted) patrons were kind.

First visit here 1985, great, standout place and stayed that way until the last 12 months. Gone completely down hill - not only is the outside falling apart but one Friday lunch no food, todays Friday lunch no drinks on tap due to some weird gas issue. Food was below average, only one beer in bottles worth considering. Toilets had no paper, doors didn't lock and there was water all over the floor. Used to fight for tables, now too much choice. Spoiled all my good memories by going to this place - such potential but a real disappointment.

....Great location and historical pub.Its a pity the staff were totally indifferent , to the point of giving a bottle without asking if a glass is required.

Had a wonderful lunch. Was superbly looked after by Ben and the food was lovely. Really enjoyed our time there. Thanks

Further to a review I left about this place 11 months ago which was very positive I am sorry to say this place has dropped. The food was tasteless and my wife's fish cakes were burnt and hard as anything and my fish was bland. The whole place needs a make over looks very scruffy now. Ladies toilets were not working and gents only 1 was in use. I think the owners need to get the workmen in bring it back to how it was only a few years ago. I won't be going back till this is done and food improves.

Piri chicken​ wing​ was​ nice,hake fish​ dish​ is​ good​ but​ I​ missed​ pork​ belly​ ​is​my​ favorite​ dish🥰

The garden is looking rather unloved and scruffy these days with litter, weeds and bird droppings. The lovely old building certainly needs a bit of care and attention also.

Lovely bar in a nice quiet location on the river

Friendly helpful staff,excellant Sunday roast.

Nothing at all wrong with the venue, the issue is the ridiculous road closure which means a massive diversion just to get away from the pub. London Borough of Hounslow, you should be ashamed at reducing footfall at this historic business.

READ THIS REVIEW GREENE KING - We booked a table online requesting a river view.When we arrived no table was reserved and we were told to sit where we liked. Luckily the restaurant inside was not at all busy. They might have been full inside if the predicted rain had arrived and then where would the reservation be? Utterly useless having an online booking if they cannot be bothered to use it. Most customers, with the exception of one other couple, were outside drinking.The 'service' was the worst I have seen in this country. The two under worked bar staff/restaurant service spent more time going outside to make calls on their mobiles than doing any work. At no time did the staff come to see if we were happy with our food and if we had not carried the plates from our starters to the bar we would still be waiting. The cutlery was unclean, the table was sticky - what kind of hospitality business have these people been in? Obviously zero professional training. We waited 25 minutes for the staff to collect our main course plates and maybe suggest a dessert which was pointless so we went to the bar to give our dessert order only to be told that the kitchen had closed ten minutes ago. If they had been in the slightest bit aware they might have noticed that we had finished and were waiting to have the table cleared. The chef had at one stage come out to serve a couple of the dishes for which we were grateful and again had to step in to agree to serve us sticky toffee puddings. Starters of potted crab was still not set, though the chef did say that he had only made them 2 hours previously. Mussels, half the amount you would get at 'Brouge' in Twickenham and rather watery. Fish & chips ok but nothing to write home about. A five star venue totally wasted by lazy incompetent staff who should not be anywhere near the catering or service industry. A total embarrassment for our guests from America.

Great team Will most definitely return and recommend to friends

Ben and the team were very accommodating. Beautiful venue/views too

Great venue with a lovely view on the river. The food and especially the service were amazing! Ben and the rest of the team really looked after us.

Great service and brilliant staff ! Ben has really turned this pub into something special 💯

We had a fabulous evening at The London Apprentice. The staff were super friendly and the food was great. What a stunning location too! Thank you Ben for a perfect celebration 😊

Attended a party here last night, food was delicious and staff were very helpful. Nothing was to much trouble, manager went out of his way on a few occasions to help customers with dietary requirements and questions. Location is beautiful, right next to the river, well kept garden with flowers, and ladies were kept clean throughout the evening. 10/10 for us and we would definitely return

Great pub on the river with fantastic staff!

The London Apprentice pub by the Thames is a gem! It has a cozy vibe with great views, tasty British food, and a solid drink selection. The staff are super friendly, making it a perfect spot to chill with friends or enjoy a meal.

Beautiful pub on the river, great food & drinks selection - fab atmosphere, warm and friendly welcome from Ben and his fantastic team. Look forward to returning soon!

Such a lovely spot by the river, cute pub and love the cute pots of flowers outside. Drinks were quick to serve, special shout out to Ben who was an absolute diamond. Made our visit memorable, will be back!

Cracking sunspot on the river. Service is good, nice range of beers even if slightly pricey. I overheard about a local discount but it wasn't a known thing to me. This information is not volunteered by staff/any signage.

Ben’s customer service was 10/10

Always a pleasure to go to the Apprentice. Beautiful location with a stunning walk to Richmond along the river.

Been here a few times It's just changed no atmosphere and not very busy it's in a lovely area

Really nice pub amazing riverside terrace, friendly staff and the nachos and cheesy chips were 10/10

Didn't give any stars for food as we waited so long we had to get a refund 😩

My first time back here for many years as I'm not local anymore. We dropped in last Monday for a quick beer but decided to have a bite to eat. The barman was working alone and was trying to serve drinks, take orders and deliver food outside. This caused a queue at the bar (not his fault he was trying his best) weather was good so we sat outside, we ordered the steak baguette and wished we hadn't. It was full of gristle & tough, most was fed to the seagulls. When we left we mentioned how bad the steak was and we were immediately offered a refund which was nice. However, we did not accept as both us and the gulls had eaten it. We'll definitely come back as it's a lovely pub and beautiful location. Prices are reasonable as well. Think we'll be having the chicken baguette next time.

Lovely location for beautiful day. Very slow service and they were not really busy. Food was worst roast ever had. Bar staff not attentative and seemed uninterested in serving. Would not eat there again.

It's a nice pub to go and have a drink but I wouldn't go back there for any food

I've been coming to this pub for years now and it's always been a local favourite! so much so that we celebrated our daughters birthday in the upstairs area! I wanted to give a huge thanks to Tati who was super helpful, polite and very accommodating throughout! She's a real asset to the pub - thanks again and we can't wait for our next visit!

Been to the Apprentice many times as live locally. I really need to call out Tatiana as the most gracious, kind, efficient and always smiling staff member. A true diamond.

Always a joy. Staff chatty and engaging. Great location with stunning riverside garden.

What a wonderful atmosphere and service Tati looked after us today and all I an say is what a pleasure

Food and service shocking food came cold didn't get everything we asked for very disappointed will not be coming back.

Great Thursday night Quiz and great bar service - love Tati, she’s the life and sole of the pub and always makes you feel welcome

Very nice pub by the river. We were served by a lovely girl called Andrea and she made us feel welcomed and becuase the food was a bit late she arranged some free drinks which was a nice gesture..

Great food here which came very quickly. Dessert and coffee, another story. Took ages. Very busy, noisy pub but with great views of the river

What a beautiful spot by the river Thames. A few glasses of Aperol Spritz in the sunshine. Calamari, Chicken wings & Halloumi to pick on were super tasty!

Lovely way to spend a Saturday early evening in the sunshine. Everyone was welcoming and the food was good. Really relaxing

Went to the London Apprentice for some food and was very happy with the food, the service was excellent and the location of the pub being right by the river made it for such a lovely experience. Would recommend and will be back

By the river side indeed a good place to visit

River side is the main USP of this place.

We were here for Sunday lunch and what a disappointment. I had two small pieces of lukewarm roast beef, a quarter head of undercooked cabbage, horrible gravy, the roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were nice. However there wasn't any horseradish sauce!! The pub is in a nice location but that shouldn't make up for the standard of food we had today.

Nice quiet pub by the river Thames with a rich history dating back to 1731!! Loved their Halloumi cheese bites and seasoned chips with the beer. We enjoyed the place so much that we even thought of making it a regular after work hangout!!

Much more than excellent place to have a drink!

Great location. Shocking service and staff attitude. Nine of us arrived together, ordered drinks and snacks ( bowls of chips and onion rings ect.). Three bowls of chips arrived immediately- they were ok. Thirty minutes later I asked for my chips. Bar staff went through a cycle of: have you ordered any? Someone else must have eaten them, understand we are busy and the kitchen is upstairs. Forty minutes in, two more bowls of chips arrived. Still one bowl of chips missing when we left one hour after ordering. Mistakes happen ok. But attitude of three of the staff was outright shocking. One young lady was charming. Really want to love this pub because of the location but staff attitude always spoils the experience. Deeply disappointed.

Pub with a view of the river Thames can not beat it

This pub was a perfect spot to end a wonderful vacation. The fish and chips, nachos and the pints of peroni's were delicious

Pub has improved significantly and I can finally say that the food is excellent! Lovely wide choice of drinks, friendly staff and great manager that’s always up for a chat. Definitely the best pub in our local community.

Superb service from an outstanding team

Food was good, coffee and drinks very disappointing. Very low quality of cocktails, all tasted the same. Random glasses, bland.

This is a really good pub, with an expeditionary view of the River Thames. I visited to have lunch with my mum. We took a table outside and was informed about the seagulls nipping our food, but we weren’t too concerned about them. A few minutes later, the wind picked up and we took a table inside. Our food was served within 15 minutes. We got: Calamari, Lettuce (with a fancy sauce), fish cakes & steak with chips. Food was spectacular and quick despite how much food we ordered. However, the bérnaise sauce has a runny like texture and it was unpleasant to dip your steak into the sauce. For dessert I got an extremely sweet Sticky Toffee Pudding with Ice Cream. I would come back to this pub, but in no hurry.

Sat afternoon...full pub 1 persin serving at the bar. Multiple entitled people that dont believe they should queue. This isnt the first time Wont be back

Wow what a spot to find, very nice pub beside the ole dry Dock it is very peaceful at lunchtime well worth a visit, has ringo parking 50 ft away so very handy. You can watch literally thousands of birds and the river just flowing for some quality chill out time..maybe worth taking some bird food if you have kids l.. excellent 👍🏻

The perfect setting for a glorious pub. The London Apprentice is a wonderful 'country' pub in London, overlooking the Thames by the Isleworth Ait. A great selection of beers of varying flavours both from the keg and the cask, including their own Apprentice bitter! Sit down and soak up the atmosphere. The menu offers the full range of Greene King pub meals, something for everyone. A most enjoyable venue to sit down, have a drink along with something to eat. Well worth a visit.

Lovely venue, by the Thames but service and quality of food seems seems to have gone downhill in the past few months. Roast was adequate but potatoes were undercooked and did not give the appearance of being roasted. Very little meat in pie and roast beef pretty tasteless. No table service and we waited 45 minutes for food. Not impressed as this was our place to go for special occasions but not any longer. Such a shame.

Very disappointed by fish & chip meal. Both the fish and the chips appeared to have been cooked in stale oil, which gave an unpleasant taste. The tartare sauce tasted unpleasant and the peas were like canon balls

Love the location, one of my favourite places in London. Had a really nice evening there. The staff were friendly and it was a warm and welcoming.

Great river pub with a good view on Thames,

Amazing meal, bar staff so friendly highly recommended.

A great charming little pub, hasn't changed in appearance - got that 18th century charm, intact... This is the second time we've visited on the first day of the New Year and we've been welcomed both times with the usual friendly cheer...

Great service, decent wine and excellent dish of the day.

The best pub and dining tucked away in Iselworth on the River Thames. Absolutely love this pub and its riverside location. A traditional pub offering a wide variety of drinks and seasonal offers. Watch the migratory birds that feed on the island opposite and relax with a refreshing pint of your favourite larger in hand and a great atmosphere Lovely lunch, I had Korean style spicy salt and pepper squid followed by slow cooked confit of pork belly with apple and squeak, a charred wedge of cabbage and cider, sage and cream sauce. Dessert was vanilla pana cotta topped with raspberry coulis, cucumber strawberry and mint

Very good location and perfect food. ;)

Tasty food, kind service, good beers

Excellent pub, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. A perfect afternoon pint. And double rum.

Can't believe they only serve drinks if you eat there

Lovely, tranquil, over looks the Thames & great if you're a plane enthusiast

Everything was fine apart of the fish and chips which the oil where it was cook wasn't pleasant

Wonderful pub on the river thames. Great food and lovely people.

I am back in my old haunting ground visiting from the States. I decided to visit for a meal and few beers with wife and son. The staff Khushi and Ailisa were great. Really friendly hard working and easy to talk to. I highly recommend a visit for great food and pint with and cozy environment.

Khushi & Ailisa provided excellent service and are very friendly. Additionally, Khushi explained intriguing history about the Pub and surrounding area. Definitely a pleasant experience all around and great food as well! Thank you from Gettysburg, PA USA

Another really nice meal at the London Apprentice. Despite it being fairly busy with a couple of large groups the staff were friendly and helpful.

Nice pub with a great view and atmosphere for families. The food has gotten much better lately. New chef

What a great venue with beautiful Christmas decorations. Food was amazing and staff very friendly.

Nice place for every meal...I love it 😊

It really needs a make over. Very stale, it's being left to rot by green King. Such a beautiful location and historic building, needs a bit of love. Food is basic (not terrible).

Went today evening with friends. We Had Christmas festive menu, the choices were good. The food was lovely & hot when it arrived and tasted delicious. The service and staff was brilliant. The portions were good and overall very enjoyable time had by us all and excellent value too. Recommended
