L'ambiance
Tucked just off the Thames in Hampton, The Jolly Coopers is a true community pub that’s been serving locals since 1726. Landlords Nick and Jane have kept the tradition alive with their award-winning Squiffy’s tapas restaurant tucked in the back, and a beer garden that comes alive on summer Fridays with live music and BBQs. It’s the kind of place where you can sip a local ale by the bar, then wander through to the contemporary dining space or out to the patio—like stepping into a pub that’s been perfectly preserved yet constantly evolving. The vibe is effortlessly warm and unpretentious, with a mix of regulars and visitors drawn in by the eclectic beer selection, board games, and that rare London pub feel of being truly local. Skip the tourist traps and head here for a proper pint, a plate of tapas, or just to soak up the riverside atmosphere in their sun-drenched garden.

A Local’s Favourite with Tapas and a Garden
The Jolly Coopers is the kind of pub that feels like it’s been part of the neighbourhood for centuries—and honestly, it probably has. Located just a stone’s throw from the Thames in Hampton, it’s got that rare London pub charm where the locals are the regulars, but visitors are welcomed like old friends. The real star here is Squiffy’s, the tapas restaurant tucked at the rear that transforms the pub into a proper dining destination. The food is inventive without trying too hard, and the wine list is thoughtfully curated to match.
What sets it apart is the flow of the space: start at the traditional bar with a pint of something local, then drift through to the tapas area or out to the beer garden. On Friday nights in summer, the garden becomes a lively hub with BBQs and live music—perfect for a relaxed evening with friends. It’s not flashy, but it’s authentic, and that’s exactly what makes it worth seeking out.

Le Jolly Coopers est ce genre de pub qui semble faire partie du quartier depuis des siècles—and honestly, il l’a probablement été. Situé à quelques pas de la Tamise à Hampton, il possède ce charme de pub londonien rare où les locaux sont les habitués, mais les visiteurs sont accueillis comme de vieux amis. La vraie star ici est Squiffy’s, le restaurant de tapas niché à l’arrière qui transforme le pub en véritable destination gastronomique. La nourriture est inventive sans en faire trop, et la carte des vins est soigneusement choisie pour l’accompagner.
Ce qui le distingue, c’est la fluidité de l’espace : commencez au bar traditionnel avec une bière locale, puis dérivez vers la zone tapas ou sortez au jardin. Les vendredis soir en été, le jardin devient un lieu animé avec des barbecues et de la musique live—parfait pour une soirée détendue entre amis. Ce n’est pas flashy, mais c’est authentique, et c’est exactement ce qui le rend intéressant à découvrir.
