Welcome to the Alex Pope

Robin & the team welcome you to our beautiful pub, set on the banks of the River Thames in Strawberry Hill and within walking distance of Twickenham.

With it’s stylish décor, covered heated garden, and roaring fires, it’s the best spot to finish a winter walk along the river for a blooming lovely pint of beer or a large glass of red (a very large).

You’ll love our food too. Our Head Chef is a master of the grill, and whips up a seasonally changing menu, jam-packed with classic pub dishes, – oh, and we do a banging Sunday roast (oh, yes). On Rugby days, we have our trusty Burger Shack in our pub garden, slinging out the tastiest burgers in Twickers – plus some saucy side dishes too.

Christmas is our time to shine. With our halls freshly decked, the fires roaring and the pub (plus private room) bustling with mistletoe-wielding merry makers, our Twickenham pub is the perfect place to celebrate the season.

Our 32 bedrooms – some dog-friendly and many perfect for families – plus onsite parking, makes our rooms the smart choice for your next business trip or weekend getaway. Strawberry Hill Train Station is a short walk away, taking you to Central London or Heathrow Airport within 30 minutes. Twickenham Stadium is a short distance away too, which is ideal for your next rugby visit.

Winter Cocktails

It’s that cosy-up-in-the-pub time of year, so if you’re welcoming the return of the winter knits and roaring fires with tipples, then you MUST try our winter cocktail menu.

Jam packed with tasty (and some alcohol free) delights. Just the medicine to get you winter ready.

Our Sunday Best

There’s no better way to spend a Sunday than in the pub with friends and family, spicy Bloody Mary in one hand, fork in the other, ready to tuck into a button-popping Sunday roast.

We’re pretty bloomin’ proud of our Sunday Roasts here at the Alex Pope, with crispy roasties, sides for days and gallons of gravy. Oh and with bottomless giant yorkies, you’ll know you’ve come to the right place.

Check out our roasts

Birthday Celebration

Chose this place as it’s was recommended by other friends and we went for cocktails and sharers after work on Friday. A perfect location and you can even sit outside in the front garden. We sat in the atrium and had table service which was excellent. Good size portions and nice ciders. Hope to make it a regular monthly stop.

Charming, clean and comfortable with gracious and attentive staff.

Charming, clean and comfortable with gracious and attentive staff. The shower was fabulous. Bus stop right outside, lovely river walk in the park along the Thames opposite this hotel. Train station just a few minutes walk. Shopping and restaurants nearby. Internet was a bit spotty but everything else was great.

Chilled afternoon

The Pope felt like the best place to be for a chill afternoon with friends. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Great outside space with comfy seating. Me and my friends had a bottle of the New Zealand sauvignon blanc and sharing boards which was very nice. Also a great place to go on a friday night as they have live music.

Great staff, Great Food

Our first visit to this restaurant. Lovely situation near the river. Very easy to park. Extremely helpful waiting staff. Companions had hake (which apparently was landed in the northeast Atlantic). My choice was cod and chips (arguably best I’ve ever eaten). Companions finished with a shared apple and rhubarb crumble (probably enough for three people). What’s not to like about this place? Give it a go!

Perfect venue for a wedding reception

We held our wedding reception at this pub and it was amazing! They took care of us through the whole process and the day went perfectly. All our guests commented how lovely of an atmosphere the staff created and no one was ever waiting for a drink / food! The most perfect day at the most perfect venue!!

Twickenham’s best kept secret

An excellent team at The Alexander Pope, working extremely hard every day to look after their guests. Not to mention the consistently good food. Probably Twickenham’s best kept open secret.

Two Weeks Holliday

Me and my wife spent two weeks at Alexander Pope culminating with Italy playing England at Twickenham stadium. Apart from the results of the game everything was extraordinary for us. We had a clean and well furnished room, the staff were courteous and very attentive to us during our time here and were very pleased with the level of service we received.

We had breakfast here every morning and dinner on several occasions. The food was full of flavor and very tasty. Overall this little hotel worked very well for our holiday and we know we will visit again.
