About William Webb Ellis
Roomy, rugby-centric Wetherspoon pub named after the originator of the game and showing sport on TV.
Wetherspoon's imaginative conversion of this historic town centre building which for 100 years was Twickenham's Post Office, in the home town of English Rugby. Pub named after William Webb Ellis who is said to have invented the game. This pub is large and very spacious, with live news and sport on silent screens. Twelve hand pumps are in constant use. The rear patio is open until 9pm, food is served all day and children are welcome until 9pm. It is a magnet for the real ale loving regulars and the frequent Wetherspoon's beer festivals are well supported. Beers from the local brewery, Twickenham Fine Ales are often available. Real Cider available. Please note: on match days only two beers are generally available (in plastic glasses). CAMRA discount vouchers are now accepted on Rugby days. Breakfast served until 12 noon. This pubs licensing restrictions stipulate that there is no admittance (for new entrants to the pub) an hour before last orders.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding an experience I had at one of your establishments today. I ordered chicken wings, but to my surprise and concern, I found visible feathers on them. This was highly unappetizing and raised questions about the food preparation and quality standards. While I informed the staff, the matter was addressed with a simple apology and replacement of the dish. However, I believe such an incident requires more attention to ensure that it does not happen again. As a loyal customer, I expect high-quality food and care in preparation, and this experience…

I can imagine that this one gets busy when the rugby is on. I had a very good IPA: Danish Dynamite for £1.49; absolute bargain. Will return and edit

Great location not far from station, good service, big team yo help customers. Nice and calm atmosphere. Big seating area as well as back garden and front seating. Had couple of hoppy IPA beers and enjoyed because of nice summer hot day.
