Soldiers Return - Ickenham

Very friendly atmosphere. good food and excellent value for money. this was our first time there, but will definitely be very soon.

Brilliant pub, really polite bar staff and they take extra care when preparing and serving food, would recommend to anyone, great place to watch sport too.

I first visited the Soldiers in about 1965, had so many good sessions in there over many years. Made some good friends too. So sad that it's closed but by all accounts it was best to put it out of its misery, I hadn't been in for a few years, used to be in there most evenings on the way home from West Ruislip Underground. Weekend lunchtime sessions were something else! Happy days.

Having now read some of the previous reviews it makes me wonder if we were in the same pub. The Soldiers Return is a cosy, old style pub. It is clean and bright it was a sunny day . There is plenty of parking space. The staff and the customers were polite and friendly. It was mid afternoon so not crowded. We had late lunch, fish and chips, which was tasty and very reasonably priced. The landlady told us that she had not been there long and had had some teething problems, par for the course I suppose. Some people can be resistant to change. My friend and I would certainly call again .

Great food, great atmosphere, great prices. Nice selection of beer on tap and good assortment of liquors as well. Not a huge place, so don't expect an exotic variety, but tell the manager what you are looking for and he will find something for you to try.
