About This Pub

Ah, Tide End Cottage in Teddington – it's one of those pubs that really captures the essence of a classic British spot, tucked away by the river and offering a bit of respite from the London rush. From what I've gathered from folks' experiences, it's got this inviting, cosy feel that's perfect for a lazy afternoon with friends or a family outing; the staff go out of their way to make you feel at home, and that beer garden is an absolute treat when the sun's out. They're also big on community vibes, like supporting Pride with special events, which adds a nice touch. On the flip side, though, the food seems to be a mixed bag – some rave about the traditional dishes, but others have mentioned disappointing roasts that taste reheated and lack that fresh, homemade charm, especially for veggies. And on busier days, it can turn into a bit of a lively hub, which might not be ideal if you're after a quiet evening. Overall, it's a solid choice for a pint and a chat, but I'd say it's worth checking out with an eye on what you're in the mood for, to make the most of its strengths while steering clear of the occasional letdowns.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The location by the Thames is just lovely, offering peaceful views and a real escape from the city buzz.
  • It's super family-friendly and dog-friendly, making it a welcoming spot for everyone, including your furry friends.
  • The staff are always friendly and helpful, creating that warm, down-to-earth atmosphere that keeps people coming back.

  • It has a traditional pub feel with great amenities like WiFi and a car park, plus they're involved in fun events like Pride celebrations.
Cons
  • Food quality can be inconsistent; some dishes, like the Sunday roast, might not always hit the mark and feel a bit reheated or bland.
  • It can get quite noisy on busy days, such as Mother's Day, which might disrupt a relaxed meal or chat.
  • The vegetarian options have been described as tasteless at times, so it might not suit everyone looking for top-notch variety.
  • Serving hours end a bit early in the evening, which could be a downside if you're hoping for a late-night bite.

Came in for the Sunday roast and was seriously let down. The food clearly wasn’t fresh – everything tasted like it had just been reheated. The meat was dry, the vegetables were bland and overdone, and the Yorkshire pudding was cold and chewy. Nothing felt homemade or freshly cooked. Honestly, if you’re coming here just for drinks, that’s fine – the bar is decent and the vibe is okay. But if you’re planning to eat, think twice. The food is way below standard and definitely not worth the money. Won’t be eating here again.

We absolutely love The Tide End in Teddington, it’s our go-to local and such a gem of a pub. The landlords have created a really welcoming and friendly atmosphere that keeps us coming back. They’re always so kind and down-to-earth, and you can really feel the care they put into making it a space people want to return to. Whether we’re popping in for a quick drink, staying for a long catch-up, or enjoying a meal (which always hits the spot!), it’s the kind of place that just feels easy and relaxed. The outside areas at both the front and back are a real bonus too, perfect for soaking up the sun with friends. Thank you for making this place so special, we’re very lucky to have it as our local!

An absolute gem in picturesque location. Lots of character and always a warm welcome. The food and service both spot on. They cope brilliantly with small groups too, can highly recommend if you’re looking for a traditional pub not trying to be anything other than that - a rare find these days and highly recommend a visit for the fish and chips, superb fish cakes and pies when on the specials menu

Great pub with a good atmosphere. Has some lovely little places to squirrel yourself away for a quiet pint and the little beer garden hidden at the back is a sun trap in the summer. The food is good and I’ve always found the staff to be helpful and friendly. Would recommend if you want a proper pub rather than next door which is a crèche that serves food.

Just had another meal here, second time. It was mothers day and the customers were plentiful and a bit crazy. The big table next to us were laughing so loudly and weirdly together with their baby that we felt like we were in a circus. The food was ok, the vegetarian roast was a bit tasteless, and not too much protein, as it was a nut roast. I always enjoy a meat alternative, sure maybe not as healthy but I am not a vegetarian for health reasons, I still love to eat. The starter we had, the crab, was probably the weirdest thing I have ever ordered. It was straight from the fridge and the butter was completely hard, it echoed when I knocked my fork against it. I thought it would be melted butter. It felt weird to eat it so I had a taste but couldnt eat more. I had to salt my roast a lot but all in all it was alright. Just a bit bland, like it would be good to serve a toddler taste-wise, nothing standing out. My wife rated hers 6.5 out of 10 (she had the beef) and it would have been 7.5 if the table with the cacklers wouldn´t have circused it up. I rated my roast 7 out of 10. We won´t come back for a roast, but last time we were there when we were one of the few guests, and the ambience was super chill and nice, and we had the pies, it was a lovely experience. That is why we came back. Bar staff is lovely.
