The Moon on the Square, Feltham

Ebbadger-Eating lunch 5 times a week for 3 years in The Moon makes you A Record Breaker! You certainly deserve an award.Maybe Tim Martin will present you with The Grand Order of the Pancreas!Anyway you're right about the staff they are unfailingly pleasant & tables are never left with dirty plates or glasses on them.The ale is well kept too.The other thing I like about it is the toilets are upstairs.I've noticed in other branches where the toilets & the drinkers are in closer proximity a distinct whiff reminiscent of an old peoples home or continence clinic.That is manifestly not the case at The Moon for which we all give thanks.

The Bell and Crown, Chiswick

A whiff of cynicism as well as an all pervading aroma of kitchen smells hangs over this formerly pleasant West London boozer.Over 4 quid for a pint of pride but there seemed to be plenty of well heeled Chiswick types willing to pay the price.The emphasis is clearly on food & they seem determined to exploit their riverside location as ruthlessly as possible.It reeks of soullessness & greed.A metaphor for modern Britain perhaps but deeply depressing nevertheless.

The Three Horseshoes, Feltham

I popped into this establishment on a Saturday evening recently having imbibed elsewhere & in need of a nightcap.There was a birthday party in full er swing but the place was still open to others brave enough to chance their arm.A very intimidating atmosphere indeed.All eyes seemed to be upon me while I gulped my pint & I couldn't get out of there fast enough.A shame because the previous landlord had the place heading in the right direction.The recent closure of 'The Mansion' across the road bodes ill as some of the more unpleasant elements will no doubt migrate to 'TheThree Horseshoes'.Sadly this is currently one to avoid yet in the right hands it has much potential.
