Visit website ↗About The Retreat
The Retreat makes sense as a top-five Staines pub because it looks actively run and broad-based rather than tired. Its own site leans into pub favourites, Sunday roasts, live sports, music, open mic and quiz nights, which signals a genuine community pub with more going on than simple drinking.\n\nIt is less scenic than The Swan or The Last Hop, but it gives the shortlist some everyday local credibility.
