TOWN WHARF in Hounslow

Lovely place! The owner is warm and friendly, the service was great and food was delicious. Loved It

Came in on Tuesday lunchtime. Pub was very quiet but food good. Exellent pie. Range of bottled beers really good and great service from barman. Much better than the nearby London Apprentice.

Lovely place, great position, food was good and the owners looked after us! Definitely going back again ❤️

Get yourselves down to the Town Wharf! Superb service with a splendid scene in Old Isleworth

The Town Wharf Pub is a hidden gem, quintessentially and beautifully located right on the banks of the river. With stunning waterfront views, it offers a truly inviting ambiance that feels both charming and serene. The warm and comforting service immediately makes you feel at home, setting the stage for a memorable experience. The food options are nothing short of amazing, featuring a diverse menu that perfectly complements the impressive selection of beers, ciders, whiskeys, and other drinks. Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast, a whiskey connoisseur, or simply someone who enjoys a refreshing cider by the water, there’s something here to satisfy every palate. The coffee, served from high-quality Jura machines, is a standout and adds a delightful touch to the experience—rich, aromatic, and brewed to perfection. As a bonus, the pub also boasts a fantastic selection of ice creams, making it a great spot for both adults and families to indulge in a sweet treat while enjoying the picturesque surroundings. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual drink, a hearty meal, or just a quiet moment with coffee and dessert by the river, the Town Wharf Pub truly delivers on every front. A must-visit destination for anyone seeking a blend of exceptional hospitality, delicious offerings, and an unbeatable location.

Delicious food, absolutely lovely staff / owners and great views of the river!

Hidden gem, best pub atmosphere.

Whilst doing the capital ring walk from Richmond to Osterley we happened upon this brilliant pub. I’m so glad we stopped. Lovely welcoming landlord, excellent food cooked by his wife. Who doesn’t want a G and T overlooking the river. I really hope it is a successful new venture. It deserves to be. Go yourselves and tell your friends to go too!!

I've had two fantastic experiences at the Town Wharf - both times visiting with friends for dinner, and both sets of friends came away raving about the food, the beautiful location and the atmosphere. Mike is really friendly and this is a great all-around pub, but the food is really astonishingly high quality. In summer I had a heritage tomato salad with burrata and the tomatoes were incredible, better than most I've had in the UK. The burger, fish and chips and chickpea curry have also been great. As locals we will come back often, this place is a hidden gem! I've called ahead to book and never had a problem - sitting outside on the river terrace when it's nice out is hard to beat.

Very cosy ,2 fireplaces downstairs, sometimes the upstairs section is open offering a charming view of old Isleworth.

My friends and I spent a lovely lunch at Town Tavern this Sunday (15/09/24). We booked a table for four. The service was brilliant. The South African Manager (Mike) was amiable, accommodating and extremely welcoming. We liked his sense of humour! :) We will be back and defiantly recommend Town Tavern to our friends and family.

Great little pub, got there just as they were closing but will definitely go back and visit!

Not been here for a long time and won't be going back in a hurry. I've seen all of the positive reviews but sadly, my experience here was rather different. Two guys on today, both unfriendly and not welcoming. The South African guy was particularly rude and pretty much had a go at our group because we had taken up more space than anticipated. Fact is, no one else was up there so it didn't matter and we'd spent a lot of money at the bar, but still made to feel unwelcome and not wanted there. Frankly, he didn't care. When we said we would not come back again he simply said 'that's fine'. Unprofessional and extremely poor customer service. This venue has so much potential, but with staff like that running it, I'm certain it will soon be closed again. No great loss until someone who knows hospitality can take it over.

Lovely local pub in a beautiful location, fabulous outdoor area next to the Thames. Very friendly staff and Sam Smith's beer.

Incredible location, lovely view of the river and great outdoor space - it’s a shame that’s where the positives end. Beer selection is basic. Wines are selected by colour - you’ve got red, white, rosé… at least there’s no forgetting what you ordered! Bar staff are unhelpful. Owner was clearly unhappy with having kids in the upstairs section even though nobody tried to go up there - being told we restricted their business when we were the only ones contributing was laughable. This pub needs a renovation and a modern owner. We won’t be going back when there are so many better options nearby.

We had a nice quiet few drinks in this lovely pub on banks of Thames at Old Isleworth,lovely couple running it,friendly and welcoming and when i asked about alcohol free drinks they recommended Sams brown Ale as a great non alcohol drink,a good recommendation🙂lovely taste and can't wait to go back again👍

What a stunning pub. Beautiful location, great food and super friendly managers. Will be back for sure.

Nice location.Keeps closing intermittently, so Sam Smiths need to get organised !

Lived in area for years but whenever I walked passed Town Wharf it never looked like it had any sign of life. Although walking by at the weekend I noticed something different, signs up outside on the great terrace on the Thames showing opening times, menu etc. Made an effort to come back that way for a roast dinner and it didn't disappoint. Very friendly service too and a great location on the River Thames. Highly recommend!

Great food at the town wharf Mike and staff are lovely highly recommended great pub to relax and such beautiful views,looking forward to coming back 😀

Pub is amazing, just a real shame there is no quiet music in the background, not a very busy place but over looks the thames

We returned to our beloved Town Wharf for a pint of Taddy Lager. Such a great pub, too often overlooked. Come visit!

Been here with my girlfriend few days ago for a drink and food . Food was amazing, beer amazing, hospitality spot on. Highly recommend!

Been SO disappointed with the various re-launches of the Town Wharf over the last 20 years, but today's lunch has convinced me that the current manager Mike and his lovely wife have got it spot on. From the perfect riverside location (where you can actually see the river!) we had a perfect meal. Mike was an amazing host and I really hope his passion and enthusiasm re ignites the fortunes of this forgotten pub. My friend and I shared 3 delicious starters which were huge with batter that was truly crisp and dry! I wish the Town Wharf all the success they now deserve and can't wait to go back.

Beautiful riverside pub with really good views and excellent service. Mike and the team are doing a great job

Never been here before as a west Londoner but was great for the area. A tad expensive for the beers but they do all the Sam Smith’s classics. The outside space was plentiful and much better kept than that of the apprentice nearby. Worth a visit for sure.

Great atmosphere, very spacious inside. Great location almost on the river Thames and very friendly staff

Absolutely friendly place, fantastic quality of beer, plus live entertainment with a Doggie diving into the Thames.

Really great to see the pub back up and running. Great team behind the bar and in the kitchen. Food was great and amazing drinks! Definitely a great place for a drink

Not allergy friendly, especially for kids, no kids' menu available.

When I discovered this pub had reopened I jumped for joy. The setting of the pub is stunning. There is tons of outdoor seating, all with a view of the Thames. The interior of the pub is all traditional wood, stained glass partitions and leather covered seat cushions. There is a pool table and dart board. What more could you ask for? The best part of this pub is the food. I don't know where they sourced the chef, but this person's cooking is top-notch. We've eaten in there twice recently and scraped our plates clean. The staff are really friendly. I can't wait to go back. Thank you, guys!

This place has just reopened and I recommend this pub great beer just by the Thames Samuel smith beer worth a visit

*Under New Management* We stopped here for a beer and some crisps a couple weeks ago (it was a Sunday and we’d arrived too late for food, so haven’t tried the food yet). So many places to sit, great views of the river, great atmosphere and the new owners, Mike Hean and his wife are so friendly and welcoming, they can’t do enough for you. The beer is great, Mike even suggested putting the fire on for us as it was getting a bit cold. Great pub, great owners, we can’t wait to return! Thanks so much for having us, Emma & Mike xx

Great pub with friendly staff. Good to have a pool table and darts available locally.

Lovely place, fantastic food and superb service. Glad we've found it.

Mike the Landlord on course to make this THE BEST pub in London!! My neighbours had eaten there and I did today and had the Steak Pie. The food here is truly spectacular the pie the best ever and I’ve had a few my fear is when word spreads I will not be able to get into here! Jp

With the new management, this place deserves a better score. Great food, service and beer. The location and atmosphere is also super nice, since the pub is literally on the river. When the planes give Isleworth a break it’s just perfect.

A lovely pub on the Thames with a beautiful view of the river from the ample wood-framed terrace. Nice food and friendly, welcoming service.

The pub has reopened in May 2024 and I had high hopes. Limited food menu options. Unfortunately the food was not great - it didnt look like the chef made much effort (ordered a salad with chicken). Not enough quantity of food/drink either. The drink glass was hardly half full. Also staff service was very average.

Great welcome, loads of space, fine views of river and Old Isleworth. New landlord full of ideas and plans.

The recent arrival of Mike and Arlene has lifted what has felt like a previously tired and dated style of management of the Town Wharf. These two gregarious individuals gift our local community with rich storytelling, incomparable customer experience, kindness, warmth and generosity of spirit. In such a short time, we have witnessed more patrons sharing this beautiful space (on sunny and cloudy days, evenings and into the late night) than in the years we have resided nearby. The location of this pub is highly appealing (on the River Thames) but it is this team of four who demonstrate convincing potential for locals, visitors to the area, and first time customers to remain loyal and seek out quality time at the Town Wharf for first-choice relaxation. Historical punters of venues Mike and Arlene have previously run and owned have travelled from afar to support them here in Old Isleworth, and those of us who are building relationships with them feel blessed they have joined and are contributing meaningfully to our neighourhood. Thank you, so much.

Excellent pub which deserves to be busy every weekend and pull in punters from all over, including locals. We booked a day in advance and walked from Battersea to Isleworth along the river. The pub was buzzing and the staff did amazing work getting everyone their orders and doing it with good humour. With some more backing from the SS chain this will be a gem for the west of London and river lovers. Looking forward to going back.

Lovely stop here with the new owners, stopped for a pint and some snacks. The South African man behind the bar was a hoot and very friendly. The food was nice but smaller portions for price. Shake the sub wasn't out to enjoy the decking area more. Great to see the Town Wharf open again. Pop on in for a drink.

Vastly underated pub on the Thames with superb organic beers and relaxed atmosphere

Visited on Saturday as recently reopened- lovely looking pub, nice location with great service - will go back - also nice if you like looking at birdlife

Just popped into this pub which is now under new management, the owners were lovely and told us that the kitchens won’t be open for food until 1st June. I’ll have to come again then.

A lovely, quiet gem with a superb and eclectic selection of beers, ales lagers, and perry, in a lovely location. Deserves to be wildly popular.

Went to this pub to have a decent pint of Sam Smith's bitter. Won't be returning sadly. The Old brewery best bitter was way off its best. No Sovereign or organic wheat beer on tap. Service OK and nice to see a pub with a pool table and darts board. Very old school and welcome but a pub needs good beer as a basic.

Great place by the river to relax

Lovely pub but the beer orders seem a shambles as they rarely have the cheaper beers on ? Conspiracy maybe but it's happened more than twice now ! If I wanted to pay £6-80 for a cider I'd go to a high end pub . Sam smiths was cheaper for a reason . Pity as the pub itself is lovely

Lovely river pub with an array of interesting beers and great service

Could be a great pub sam smiths so expect a bit cheaper , bit shock by the prices 🤔 6.80 for a pint bit much

Cozy pub in great location. Very friendly staff. Did not know there is upstairs section as well. Loved sitting by fireplace

Really good atmosphere, spacious and nicely decorated pub in a very attractive setting. Friendly staff, and a pool table. Decent/ordinary pub food and a good selection of drinks.

Very relaxing pub I'll be going back very soon

Interesting selection of drinks. Nice place to settle by a fireplace on a cold day

Isleworth’s best location for a serene drink overlooking the Thames. Day time or evening, this place is magical. No music, just the sound of the abundant wildfowl, the movement of the river and the wonders of the heronry opposite. Drinks are Sam Smith’s best, unique and brilliant. Lots of organic beers, which suits this location. Love it and so pleased it’s reopened.

Lovely low key pub near the river with a great selection of local beers/ciders. Great outdoor seating and inside has a pool table and dart board. Nice little pit stop if your going for a walk down the river :-)

A nice place to spend an evening after you take a long winding walk along the river Thames. I would recommend the place and their garlic bread with cheese. Go with family or friends and you won't be disappointed. The staff are a friendly bunch!

Would give 5 stars for location & potential. But averages out at 3*, as again no food available today. Only 3 beers on tap, rest unavail today. Place could really do with cleaning the bird poo and cobwebs in outside area. A shame: enjoyed numerous previous visits since 2012, and when available, food was decent. (I recall in 2012 reviews online would also always mention lost potential for a great location!).

Beautifully located by the river Thames. Some tables just above the water or outside on the first floor. Friendly staff, great drinks selection. We didn't eat this time, but the menu looked exciting.

Let’s be straight it’s a Samuel smith pub! But that being said it’s one of the best locations I have ever been to on a summers day. It’s under new management and they seem really nice. Good luck to you and we will be back very soon. Also has a great little pool table!

Amazing location on the river. But no food. Place could do with some investment. Could be a goldmine.

Many a happy Sunday afternoon here on the river terrace, when I lived in the area abt 7 years ago now.. Always a quiet place as off the beaten track. Used to enjoy some organic wheat beer on tap, from memory I thought is was German. I suppose looking at the building now it is a bit Black Forest style with the dark wood so maybe I was mistaken. Good times anyway

This pub has been closed for a while and hopefully opens again soon with new management.the location is fantastic and there is a hidden gem somewhere there. We tried to book a table with a disabled person - but I was told there was no way thay someone who struggles to sit down on a picnic bench would be able to sit at a table outside. When I suggested a table inside, or to move a seat from inside out, I was firmly told that this was not possible. Quite shocking really and no suprise the management vacated shortly after. Hopefully Sam Smiths can find another management team soon.

Good choice of beer. And I love sitting outside looking at the River Thames and Isleworth Ait. :-)

Nice location, limited choice of drinks.

What a shame, it’s an amazing location but that’s about it. We’ve tried this place 3 times…. And today was the last time… we have ordered beers and nachos…. ( we were afraid to take a risk for anything else) Unfortunately we didn’t take a photo but please! Please!!!! Don’t ever do the same mistake like us…. It was just dreadful to the point that if you gonna serve something like that…. I beg you don’t! Just don’t!

We were very unlucky there. On a very warm Sunday lunch time, where all other pubs were fully booked, Town Wharf was empty. We decided to sit there and enjoy our food and drink. What a disappointing experience. Food came very cold, after speaking to staff, they provided us with the same dishes and again not even lukewarm. They obviously had no chef at the premisses as it was totally unacceptable. They wanted to reheat for a 3rd time but we asked for a refund. Another 2 tables faced the same experience.

Always nice and peaceful ✌🏿, very scenic too

Fantastic location for a pub, sells Sam smith's full range of beers, ales and stouts. Decent above average pub food. Great outdoor decking on two floors overlooking a particularly pretty part of the Thames.

Best pub for a chilling drink. The view is amazing

1. For Location 10/10 2. For staff 10/10 3. Food Availability 6/10 - kitchen was closed very early evening , which made us to shift somewhere else ... This can be informed by staff while someone checks in Overall great place for evening drinks with friends and family... Serene surrounding / river Thames / good staff.. We enjoyed thoroughly ...

Nice, good view, friendly staff

Nice friendly staff,the only thing I would complain about is,why don't you serve Sovereign beer any more,a big mistake.I will go back again.

Once again this disappoints...went there over lunch yesterday only to be told the chef is off sick until Monday so no food. What a joke... Oh & out of stock of crisps too.... hahaha. Sad but true. Myself, partner & another couple moved on to The London Apprentice & had a lovely meal.

Good Sam Smith's pub with the usual backward rules and regulations. As the previous reviewer has stated the Asian barman is a jewel in the crown, unlike the the lady that is hardwork to say the least....

Very nice atmosphere of an evening. Watching the world pass by and the sun go down.

Lovely pub. Doesn't sell your traditional drinks as its run by an independent brewer. The beer is excellent and has a lovely outside area.

Love the place... One of my favourite pubs in the borough... Good location, good service and good views. I won't add any singing..... Down by the Riverside la la la

Nice outdoor decking and sits right on the river. Note, this is a Samuel Smith's pub so will not offer the usual alcohol brands you find in other pubs. Don't let this put you off, they have some tasty beers and ciders. Never too busy (except maybe on busier, weekend rugby days).

Onenof the best location in islworth on the revier bank nice craft beers and friendly staff good food worth visiting

Such a shame that the attitude of one particular staff member can have such a negative impact on the experience of what could be an amazing pub. Disinterested, and unwelcoming are two words I’d use to describe my experience with the dour looking, older member of staff. It wasn’t just with me, she seemed to take a dislike to anyone that walked into the bar when I passed through. One of the members of staff was amazing however, and actually saved the day for me. His friendliness and great manner was the reason I returned and also bought food. Service, apart from with the Asian gentleman, certainly wasn’t the first priority here. I ended up going to The London Apprentice, a mere 3 minute walk away, and the service there was amazing! Great views and great attitude. Town Wharf has the great views, but not the great attitude however, apart from when the young Asian gentleman was around however. It was nowhere near as busy as the London Apprentice, and to me it’s probably obvious why. Such a shame!

Haven't been for years. Food there tonight reminded us why. The creamy chicken pie was a dry as bone was no creamy sauce in sight and the veg had clearly seen better days. Staff completely disinterested when they were told (they didn't ask once). Shame as it is a nice location. Well give it a try in another 5 years.

Great pub by the waterside, lovely decked areas to drink in

Lovely little pub tucked away right on the banks of the Thames. Friendly staff. Great find!

Have been walking past this place for a year,and it's finally open! If you been walking for ages it's just the best spot for refreshment.

Great spot on the river for a meal or refreshments when exploring the area. Lots of outdoor seating so ideal for COVID times.

Brownie is awful but main courses are ok sticky toffee pudding acceptable location is key amenity

Excellent pub, with amazing views and lovely staff. I visit occasionally for a drink and/or food and it's always been good. They don't recognise me as a regular as such, but they were happy to give me and my family water when we were out for a walk, even though they were closed. Good people.

Very rude staff, yes we arrived as they were opening after quite a stressful morning to nurse a quiet pint by the river but could not have been made to feel less welcome. I guess they get away with the attitude because of the lovely views. Moved down to the London Apprentice after where we were treated warmly. Will not be returning in the future, shame as it's an unusual Sam Smiths.

I loved this place pre-lockdown and so glad they're back. Comfortable setting, independent beers and stunning scenery of the Thames.

A lovely pub on the river. The staff are fantastic, the samuel smith quality drink is there along with great food. Best outdoor pub in the area hands down.

Nice location but outside mostly in the shade. Food OK and beer prices for London ok.

Lovely to be outside in the sunshine this afternoon outside this unusual modern Sam Smith's pub.

Very quirky place really enjoyed our visit there. Friendly staff

Amazing location and it was totally empty and quite, and also has Sam Smiths beer, what else you need from a pub

Nice pub, great location. Absolutely shocked at prices. Sam Smith pubs have always been reasonable. £6.50 for a cider in TW7 is extortionate. Cider shandy, obviously half lemonade same price. Not happy at all. Would have stayed for at least another hour but not at those prices. Will hesitate to visit again, and I am local!!

Good location next to the riverside and friendly staff.

Brilliant staff, excellent location.
