The Cross Lances in Hounslow

Ah, The Cross Lances in Hounslow – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? From the reviews, folks are raving about the lively atmosphere, especially with regular live music that adds a fun buzz to the place. The menu sounds delightful too, with tasty platters and even a Thai option that's perfect for sharing over a pint – I can imagine tucking into some spring rolls or lollipop chicken on a Sunday afternoon. The service gets high marks as well; stories of friendly staff helping out at events or recommending nearby spots really make it stand out. On the flip side, it's a shame they don't serve food on Mondays, so if you're planning a mid-week visit, you might want to sort out dinner elsewhere or check the schedule first. All in all, with a solid 4.3 rating from the crowd, it's a welcoming spot that's worth popping into for good times and a balanced experience – just go in with your eyes open to those little quirks.
