About This Pub
Ah, Formation Bar in Twickenham – it's one of those places that feels like a hidden treat, tucked inside the Marriott Hotel, and from the reviews, it's got a lot going for it. Most folks are raving about the food; the wings are described as delightfully saucy with meat that just falls off the bone, and the burgers and salads seem to pair up nicely with a cold beer or cider. It's got that relaxed, comfortable atmosphere with big screens for the sports action, making it a brilliant spot for a casual lunch or to unwind after a match. The staff come across as genuinely friendly, adding to the warm feel of the place. On the flip side, it's a bit of a shame about that one experience where a group had issues with forgotten orders and underwhelming food – dry burgers and skimpy salads aren't what you'd hope for, especially when it's quiet. Still, with a solid 4.2 rating overall, it strikes me as a dependable choice for a laid-back outing with friends, as long as you go in with realistic expectations and maybe avoid peak times to dodge any potential hiccups. All in all, it's worth a visit if you're in the area, just to see what the buzz is about.

Recent Reviews
Nice small bar/restaurant inside Marriott Hotel. We had wings, salad and calamari. Surprisingly, the wings were delightful and saucy. Meat fell off the bones, and the flavor was mouthwatering. Friendly customer service. To end the meal, topped it off with gin and a strong cider beer. In addition, if you enjoy sports, you can watch from the bar.
We had lunch here. Chicken Fajitas and American Burger, plus two teas . Very nice food. The Bar was quiet when we were there. It is very clean and comfortable. Two TV screens too. I can imagine it being very busy on a matchday but we found it relaxing. The bar staff were very friendly.
As a sports bar I’d give it 5 stars.

Will be back.
A group of us were having a casual business meeting.
There were 7 of us and we were the only people in the place, and yet they lost/forgot one of our orders.
The burgers were tasteless and dry, and the promised salad they were supposed to come with was no more than a few sprigs of something that looked like it had been scraped from the underside of a Flymo, and the Caesar salad had to go back because it was absolutely swimming in dressing as if someone had spilt a whole bottle.
Not good.
Great sports bar at Twickenham Stadium, loved their burger and the chicken wings over a draft beer. Great place for lunch or dinner or just for a beer. Offers salads as well. Perfect place for pre or post match/concert drinks or food.
