London Apprentice in Twickenham

Ah, the London Apprentice – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a hidden gem in Isleworth, with its roots going back to 1731 and those fabulous views over the River Thames. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, folks absolutely love the welcoming atmosphere, especially out on the terrace or in the beer garden on a sunny day. The food's a highlight too; think fresh, traditional pub fare with some seasonal specials that sound mouthwatering, and they've got options for all diets, which is always a plus when you're out with mates or the family. The staff come across as genuinely caring, like they're looking after you as if you were old friends, which really adds to the charm. But, to keep it real, it's not all perfect – a few have mentioned waits for food that drag on, even when the place is quiet, and sometimes dishes don't arrive as hot as you'd hope. Still, with an overall rating hovering around 4.2, it's clear the good far outweighs the bad, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area, perhaps before popping over to Syon Park. Just pop in with an easygoing attitude, and you're in for a proper nice time.
