A traditional community pub acquired by Shepherd Neame from Punch in May 2009 and named after a landlady from Victorian times. The listed building was first opened in 1856 and still keeps many original features. Outside, wisteria vines decorate the walls to the front and the beer garden is a favourite haunt, as there are not many in this area. There are three separate drinking areas. Heated smoking area and unrestricted parking in all adjacent roads. There is a weekly quiz on Wednesday nights, 8.30pm start. Good range of food served Tue to Sun including Sunday roast lunches. The pub has an extensive range (43) of malt whiskies. Pub located in a residential area and 15 minutes walk to Twickenham rugby ground and 20 minutes walk to The Harlequins Stoop.
