The Cabbage Patch, Twickenham — Restaurant in London

Turned away without reason: Called up 2 days prior to the final to book a table, was told that there was no need to book as it would be first come first serve on the day. Arrived at 2pm to be seated, and myself and two friends were told that the place was fully booked.. (we could see over a dozen empty tables)

Ordinarily this would not irk me as much as it did, i recalled that the pub said there would be no bookings as it was first come first serve. To confirm what I had been told a couple days earlier i called them again after being turned away to ask if i could book a table and if there was any space.

The guy on the phone said that there would be no bookings as it was on a first come first serve basis. I asked if there was space available to which he responded: "yes, plenty of space"

I don't usually leave reviews but i was very upset about the lies i was told, for what reason i was lied to i don't know. The only answer i could think of was the fact that my friends and i would have been the only coloured men in there

Avoid this place at all costs, unless you want to give an openly racist...

Visited here on Wednesday (15th) and was surprised how busy it was even more so when I discovered it was £7.50 a pint. I get that this is a rugby pub and can get away with charging a bit more on match days however this wasn't a match day therefore making it one of the most expensive pubs I've been to in South West London. Even in London's west end you can get a Neck Oil for £6.50. The food wasn't much better. £16.50 for a pretty terrible looking scampi and chips and £21 for a kilo of wings. The wings were actually very nice but way too expensive and they appear to have just charged you for 3 single portions (£7) instead of giving you some sort of deal for ordering a kilo. Some pubs seem to think that because competitors are charging 17 quid for a burger and chips they can too but those pubs aren't serving up food that looks like it's from a frozen foods store which is unfortunately what you get here. Seen a lot of reviews about staff being terrible here but that definitely wasn't the case for us. They were very friendly and efficient when it...

Poor first experience at the Cabbage Patch. Booked online, received confirmation but then arrived only for no one to know about the booking. Found some seats anyway. After 5 minutes, we were asked to hurry our food order as a large group booking were due to be arriving soon... Anyway, after that shabby piece of customer service, the food arrived - an £8 club sandwich consisting of chicken, lettuce and a couple of slices of tomato (no sauce) in what can only be described as stale bread. Also, £5 for a 'mug' (barely half a pint) of mulled cider. Save your pennies and head for the William Webb Ellis...
