The Bulls Head

Technically a riverside pub, although the main road is between them, the Bulls Head is probably most famous for its jazz venue.  Events happen most nights of the week and tickets cost an average of £10 as a first come first seated basis.
'But what about the pub?' I hear you cry.  Well, the large open area with the bar set in the middle suggests you could get served from practically any point, without having to carry your drinks very far. I like that.  There are a fair few ales, ciders, wines, spirits and liqueurs, something for everyone I feel, and even when they did run out of Amaretto the friendly staff were more than happy to pop down to the cellar to get some more.
We sat in the side room, comfortably ambient with the live music coming from the double doors at the far end.  The only thing that didn't quite fit were the Thai restaurant menus dotted around - I guess they have a deal going on with next door.
Seating outside is very limited if the sun's out, but I'd like to come back again and perhaps sample a bit of the jazz.

What planet do you live on? I didn't realise there were so many 'suns' in Barnes! :)
Your reviews are OK but I would really go easy on the grammar and punctuation, it's very over the top and unnecessary in places which doesn't make very good reading.
Sorry that I had to point this out but you seem to have had a dig at poor Andrew when in fact his posts are a far more entertaining read. I only wish he would do more!

You'll find that "sun's" is basic punctuation for "sun is" for when an apostrophe is correctly used as in "if the sun is out", god, what planet you from, tatooine!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAH you are such a dick Alex, I cant believe you amend your mistake and then post an anonymous comment! Pathetic, you might want to go through the rest of you appalling posts!

I can tell it's you because you're comma crazy and really very dull.
Look, just admit that mistakes are made and it won't make you any less of a man!
Just try and put a little more life into your next post and don't be so hung up on gamma and punctuation because in the real world no one really gives a sh*t!

if no one gives a shit, why are you commenting for?

Obvious troll is obvious!

Smithy said...

Because you seem so hung up on the fact that others make mistakes, so I just wanted to point out that no one is perfect!

Correct, no one is perfect, however, you are a fully fledged 100% grade A money back guarentee CUUNNTTTTTT!!!!!

Smithy said...

Yes that is correct and I worked very hard for that title! :)

Alex said...

Smithy, I know you've come along a couple of times now, so why not submit one of your own reviews? By the sounds of it, you could be quite the critic!

Dear Chaps,

What in your opinion is the snobbiest pub in Richmond? I am on a mission to find it (I must add 'without prejudice' as I have only recently flapped my beak into these parts).

Yours etc,

M Crow

Myself, I'd have to say The Victoria Inn:

Compare our article's photo to the one on their website (google it). It really is a joke.
