Partner and I had lunch at the White Swan a couple of weeks ago, were content with the portions and the quality, and there were several families having lunch at the same time. The White Horse has better food, but tends to be a bit more pubby in atmosphere . . . but I have only ever had dinner there. Ang

Sorry, Rogi, The White Hart is a building site! Got a new hotel going up, I should be passing it by on Saturday, I'll have a nose around, find the theme shite! Anglers is still nice-ish, (burger & chips nice), but best around that way, imho, is the Kings (Head or Arms) in Teddington High Street. If the standard can be judged, fairly, from the type of cars in the car park, it's the Dogs best bits. -- Austin The Web site you seek cannot be located but endless others exist | On Fri, 09 Feb 2001 14:40:51 +0000, Ang Gilham Someone wrote: | | >> I am looking for recommendations for a good Pub/Restaurant that is child | >> friendly and serves excellent food in nice surroundings.
