Rugby & Music Pub - Twickenham
Part of the Hall & Woodhouse family of exceptional pubs and taking its name from Eel Pie Island, so called due to the popularity of the pies served to day-tripping Londoners who would come down by paddle steamer to the old Eel Pie Hotel. Indeed the island became a haven for musicians during the 1950’s jazz scene and latterly a hangout for the early rock and roll scene in the 1960’s with Rod Stewart, The Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton, amongst others, all kick‑starting their careers there and the back room of the Eel Pie pays tribute to the island’s musical glory days and often features live music.
