Excellent atmosphere when rugby & football are screened on TV. Staff & landlord & wife very friendly Along with a good selection of fine ales available. Haven't eaten there yet. So can't comment on food but sure it's of a good standard 👍

I visited this pub for the RWC final and there was a fantastic atmosphere. There are multiple screens which show international rugby as wellas Harlequins matches. I enjoyed meeting the staff and landlord who were incredibly friendly. I really appreciated that a member of staff checked I was ok when another customer was touchy/feely with me. I look forward to spending more time here!

Thank you Tiffany for allowing us to use the back room to hold a celebration of life for my late wife Sarah ! We met over 35 years ago in this very pub and even held our wedding reception there in 1990 ! The staff were very friendly and helped make a wonderful night a memorable experience!

Was always a great fan of this pub through the ages. However, in recent times it seems AJ who does the pies has moved on and although they allow food to be brought in the kitchen is indefinitely closed pending a new chef. It was therefore pretty dead on a Saturday night assuming the main attraction is the food. The main gripe was two halves of Bitburger and a Baileys weighing in at over £12. I worry for this place and won’t be hurrying back by that token

The best service of any pub I’ve been to. Enthusiastic, proactive staff. The manager is clearly liked by the staff and customers which makes for a great environment. They are planing to restart food in the near future I am told. Major sports are shown but are not intrusive as the pub is big and light and airy and also has a big garden.

Exception hidden gem of the Twickenham pub scene. Big beer garden which gets sun most of the day, nice and quiet, and reasonably priced beers – unlike some other pubs in the area.

Ask anyone in twickenham about AJ’s pies and you won’t hear a negative word said about it. Pies are filled to the brim with no air or space left in the pie!

Tiffany is absolutely amazing. Even with everything going on, she still makes a pub environment feel safe and enjoyable. It is so nice to see someone take so much pride in what they do to keep a business going. There is not a bad word i could say about this pub. Everything is clean and tidy, even prior to COVID, it has always been the way here with her running it. For the food, what can i say.... i have never had a bad meal here, Friday night, cant beat the nachos, Sunday, i cant say i have ever had a better roast in a pub/restaurant. As for the AJ pies, if you haven’t had one, you NEED to try one. All in all, i would highly recommend this pub, wether it is for food or drink. All staff are so friendly and welcoming, but Tiffany is by far is the best manager of a pub i have come across and there is never a dull moment being here.

Came here for dinner, the pub isn’t participating in the ‘eat out to help out’ scheme. Food arrived and was lovely- until I found a long, curly, grey hair in my pie on my 3rd mouthful. Spent the rest of the evening feeling really nauseous.

I happened upon this absolute brilliant pub last night. What a pleasure it was to find, there are a large number of locals who clearly know the place and each other very well. Far from being elitist they were super welcoming. Great beer and selection of gins and other spirits. Food by AJ is awesome too, seriously if you like pie there is no pint on earth like it. I can't recommend this establishment enough.

Very inconsiderate to local residents. Pub meant to shut at 11pm, lots of noisy people smoking out the front and drunk people in the garden after 11 during the week when people have work the next day and children are sleeping. Cars beeping outside to drop off people late at night too. Would be nice if the local pub could respect the local community. Few times I have been in there the food/drinks and ambience has been average.

Thought we would try their Sunday roast and I'm pleased to say it was worth the small wait for it. Chose the rib of beef, two thick, tender slices which came with an enormous Yorkshire pudding, roast pots, parsnip and carrot plus a dish of peas, green beans and broccoli, delicious, even the gravy was just like homemade. Also ordered some of AJ's pies to take home. These are delivered free of charge if you spend a certain amount.

We have been here many many times for a drink but this was our first time for a meal. Staff is always attentive and friendly. They have a good beer/wine/gin selection. The pub is very sports oriented and not very child friendly in the evenings but Sunday day time there were lots of kids, very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. The pies are delicious as was the roast beef. Huge portions of thick cut perfectly cooked beef and the potatoes were amazing. Price is very reasonable for such large portions. Only complaint would be that they ran out of brownies very early in the day but the kids had ice cream with chocolate sauce which made them happy. There is some very stiff competition for best Sunday lunch in Twickenham and The Prince of Wales is definitely a contender. Will be back soon.

I had not been to this pub for a very long time, but went there a few weeks ago with my other half and my neighbours. The plan was to just have a drink, but we ended up ordering dinner. The drink prices are some of the cheapest I've experienced in Twickenham, and there's a great choice of spirits and beers. For dinner I ordered the burger, and it was great! Cooked perfectly, tasted good and came on a full plate with chips and onion rings. Well, we enjoyed it so much that my other half and I decided to visit again the following week. This time we both ordered sirloin steaks; £15 for a big steak, fries and salad, and it was pretty good quality meat. One of the steaks was ordered 'blue', and it was cooked perfectly (in many places it tends to be served over-cooked, but not here!). The staff were lovely - two in the bar, plus the chef. No messing around, no waiting for service, lots of smiles and good banter. Very efficient and friendly service. Nothing was too much trouble, and the drinks were even brought over to the table to save us waiting at the bar. Really glad I've re-discovered this pub! Looking forward to heading back for dinner and a few beers.....

Although the coffee is amazing, the customer service from the gentleman behind the counter was not welcoming - there was no smile, or any friendliness whatsoever. I actually felt like I was intruding. For nearly £4 for a coffee, you would expect a friendlier atmosphere. A shame. I don’t want to return after that experience.

We recently had our wedding at Pembroke Lodge, and I cannot say enough good things about the venue manager, Robert. From the moment we started planning to the big day itself, he was absolutely incredible. Robert went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. He was always available to answer our questions, offer solutions, and provide creative suggestions that enhanced our vision. He coordinated effortlessly with our vendors, making sure everyone was on the same page, which took so much stress off our shoulders. On the day of the wedding, he was a true rockstar! He made sure the timeline flowed perfectly, from setting up the ceremony space to ensuring the reception transitions were seamless. His dedication and hands-on approach allowed us to enjoy every moment without worrying about a single thing. Our wedding was a dream come true, and we owe so much of that to him and his team! Thank you, for everything you did to make our day magical.
