The Sun Inn and The Orange Tree near Richmond station are being suggested, started a thread on this on the Quins forum.
I've been to the Sun a few times now...big rugby pub....gets mental busy on match days but a good spot-met Jason Leonard there a few years ago....trollied he was!

This place came up on a thread a few years back as well and so we checked it out....we went there after the final in 2012...lovely spot altogether. http://www.whiteswantwickenham.co.uk/

Looks fantastic just down the road from where I'm staying, thanks for the suggestion.

Mine arrived in the post yesterday - from the Leinster allocation. LR posted them out on Monday / Tuesday.
I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
The trouble is ... neither have you

Think I'll give this place a try on Sunday morning after breakfast in the Webb Ellis.

Is it much of a walk from there to the Stoop?

Just be aware there are lots of rail restriction in place on Sunday from Clapham junction out to Twickenham with a lot of bus transfers

It makes a difference of 40 minutes in the travel time so be sure to build this into your journey time

The pals(local) have been telling me it's a stiff enough walk from there to the Stoop. They are now suggesting a place called the Albany for a feed on Sunday before walking to the Stoop.
