Anyone know if this place is worth stopping for a night out? Doing a load to heathrow tomorrow and seems like only good place around. If not, let me know
only ever been in there for breakfast!, food is very good.
It’s closed at the weekends whenever I’ve been passed it…
I’ve got visions of…
Jack Regan (John Thaw), George Carter (Dennis Waterman), a Transit van going through some empty cardboard boxes and a 3 litre Ford Granada in my head now.
Didn’t nearly every episode of the Sweeney take place near Heathrow?
Get the b******s!’

Fond memories. A DAF 2800. Basic but reliable. 60 M.P.H @ 2000 R.P.M. wouldn’t cut these days though. ( sorry. wrong forum

If you want a laugh just ask the miserable woman there to make a change to the set menu.
She’s so infamously miserable there was a comedy sketch show did a prank there.

Dunno but I can still remember nudges face when he came back to the trucks one night saying he’d been propositioned, we did tell him it was a gay pub but he knew better

The pub next door was called The Greyhound, I believe it’s a " Gentlemans Club" these days by the name of Spearmint Rhino or something similar.
The Riverside cafe is not too bad, the food is good if a bit pricey, but the car park is a nightmare, it’s what I imagine driving on the moon is like.
To the over 50’s, isn’t that jocks cafe in Colnbrook?

Jocks was next to the roundabout and had a revolving door . The riverside in the picture was run by 2 fellas and was on the right down by the pub and the garage just before the turning on the left into lakeside est
I can picture it now, strange what only 35 years can do to your memory eh!
