So myself and two lady friends arrived and sat down to view the menu's. The pub was very quiet at around 16:30 hrs on a Tuesday and there were less then ten people dotted around the pub. As soon as I looked at their prices my P.D. was triggered and I immediately told my friends (one of whom was paying for mine) that their prices were atrocious for the items on the menu and I wasn't going to allow my friend to pay for me to dine there - when I'd of rather gone to M&S nearby and paid £5.00p for a family sized pie then £17+ for one from their menu, (as I'm a big guy with an even bigger appetite!) My partner had the dearest thing on the menu; Steak, which cost £20:00p. She had been there to eat three time's previously (the same meal), and all three mistakes that the kitchen staff had made on 'those' occasions - they repeated AGAIN on her meal! (All of which the manager had offered nothing in respect of their mistake; a complimentary drink for example.) The 1st time it's a mistake, the 2nd time - It definitely shouldn't of happened, the 3rd & our visit being the 4th for her is CLEARLY BS and somebody should be getting spoken to about it, as when the till bar receipt is sent to the kitchens... It clearly state's what they had ordered! (In this case it was MASHED POTATO, 🥔 NOT the chip's that were sent to her on ALL 4 occasions. ) The other lady chose the Steak & Ale pie. 🥧 She was satisfied with her meal until she found an oversized piece of gristle which was larger than any piece of Steak within it. They 'did' order for me in the end, a large meal of 24 chicken drumsticks in a sticky barbecue sauce, alongside a portion of Onions-Ring's, & a bowl of chunky chip's! 😋 I enjoyed my meal 💯%, absolutely no complaints formy meal. The onion ring's had 'actual' onions in them, (not the mushed up stuff other people who serve onion-rings palm you off with.) The chip's were tasty, chunky, and delicious. My chicken 🐔 was handsome and I enjoyed it very much, although I needed the 7 serviette that it arrived with as the sauce was very messy on the finger's. *(Many thanks to my kind friend's generosities * My partner went up to the bar and requested a refund on her Steak meal, which 'was' eventually given, but ONLY when we'd all given the bar manager instructions on how to MANAGE as a manager and give a complimentary drink 🍸 or knock a percentage off her bill off for her meal. If I was able to give 1/2 a ⭐ for this Greene King Public House - then I would've. 😤
I will NEVER return to The Teddington Arm's again. Nor will the ladies. So that will be quite a loss to this company by the time us sharing our experience of this pub with our friends & families, through word...
Read moreDone my bit in updating a previous average review as Jose was kind in his reply so less personal.
The overarching issue is Estrella Galicia is £7.05 for a pint and a half £3.60. This is vastly overpriced on both counts. I’m no mathematician but this is ludicrous the disparity between the two measures, let alone a Galicia being more than the Damm it replaced here it doesn’t sit right. No wonder people just go to Wetherspoons these days.
The atmos was fine until the footy ended but after that nowt going on. Even if you hate a Spoons it’s the only option some nights for people being in a venue to have some company.
Onto the wider offering… The case in point if you refer to just the local area was Tedders Arms is pricier than local competitors (Abercorn, Hogarth, Mason’s and King’s Arms etc al) for a no better/worse experience. The current considerations for a business needs to be price v expectation v delivery v product. On this basis why bother here? It’s all wrong. I won’t be...
Read moreI haven't been here in some years. And I have to say. I am glad to have returned. A great selection of Drinks.. Although the ale section could use a few guests. I only had a bit to eat but, the Karaage sticky chicken is delicious. I think it's chicken thigh, which is just fantastic in my opinion. The place has a great atmosphere for a Thursday night. Had a quiz going which has a decent crowd. And with a very nice prize up for grabs! The thing that made this place for me tonight. And, I made sude to take names... Was the staff. Mikey, is a great chap with tons of banter and personality, from what I witnessed, he has the ability to build rapport with all types of patron. And Jay! Wow. She was here there and everywhere, clearly running the staff and house. While also having and maintaining a friendly and courteous rapport with everyone, staff and customer alike. Will without doubt...
