The Three Tuns, Staines Town, Staines Upon Thames

Long line of weary faces sat along the length of the bar, reminded me of those little old ladies who spend all day at the one-armed bandits in Las Vegas. One ale (the ubiquitous Courage Best) which was, well, Courage-like really. It’s the same chain (Jack Beards) that own The Cock and to be honest you'd struggle to tell them apart - both kitted out in all-over burgundy decor, like the blood river from The Shining has just passed through – oppressive and unpleasant. One plus point was that it was offering a selection of bar/board games (in addition to a dart board) which is a rarity these days, so there is one reason to pop in. To be honest, it would be utterly forgettable otherwise.
