Here’s our ‘guide to the ale’ in and around Twickenham:
THE CABBAGE PATCH
Arguably one of the most popular ‘rugby pubs’ in Twickenham. The pub walls are adorned with rugby memorabilia and the pub is renowned for it’s barbecue food!
London Road, Twickenham, TW1 3SZ. www.cabbagepatch.co.ukTHE ALEXANDER POPE

Cross Deep, Twickenham, TW1 4RB. www.alexanderpope.co.ukTHE PRINCE ALBERT
This pub is a wee bit further from the centre of Twickenham, but is well worth a visit and it does have an exceptional Thai restaurant attached to it! What’s more, the pub boasts a big screen TV inside – and another outside on what is a heated patio area!
