The Hogarth is a freshly refurbished sports pub in Teddington that's managed to update its historic bones without losing its local soul. It's become the go-to spot for Fuller's ale lovers and Thai food fans alike, with Chef Pat's Lanna Thai Kitchen serving up proper curries and satays that punch above their weight for a pub kitchen. The garden's a real plus in summer, and the place gets buzzing on match days when Twickenham fans spill over from the rugby.
Solid local with serious Thai food credentials
The Hogarth has successfully transformed itself from a traditional sports pub into something rather special without alienating its local base. The refurbishment has given it contemporary good looks while keeping that welcoming pub atmosphere intact. What really sets it apart is the Thai food operation - Chef Pat's Lanna Thai Kitchen delivers authentic dishes that you'd expect from a dedicated Thai restaurant, not a pub kitchen. The chicken satay and Pad Thai are particular standouts, and the curries have genuine depth of flavour.
The bar itself is well-stocked with Fuller's award-winning ales, which is music to any cask connoisseur's ears. It's a proper pub through and through - family-friendly, dogs welcome, with a decent garden for sunny afternoons. The place gets particularly lively on match days when the rugby crowd from nearby Twickenham makes it their pre-game meeting point. Service is generally friendly and efficient, though it can get a bit chaotic when it's packed. It's not trying to be anything other than a good local, and that's exactly what makes it work.
