Formation Bar in Twickenham

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.
