Adam & Eve

Picture source: Darkstar


 
The Adam & Eve was situated at 29 Thames Street. Now in use as a Thai restaurant.

From The Good Pub Guide 1983:
Close to the Castle and the Theatre Royal, this lively pub is popular with the actors there - if you're in doubt as to exactly who some of the familiar faces are, you can use as a crib the signed photographs that cover one green and gold flock-wallpapered wall. The partly panelled narrow bars are carpeted, with button-back wall banquettes and upholstered stools around the wood-effect tables. Snacks (50p to £1.20) include sandwiches, ploughman's, smoked mackerel, pizza and filled jacket potatoes; there's also steak and kidney pie (£1.60), ham and egg (£1.60), chicken or scampi (£.20) and various salads (up to £2.40; well-kept Bass and Charrington IPA on handpump; fruit machine, juke box. There are sometimes barbecues in the small back yard, where some seats are protected by a fairy-lit Perspex shelter. Obviously, expect to find plenty of other tourists here.

Aaron Irving 1992/1993 I was a bar tender (Kiwi doing OE). Loved it. Fabulous clientele. Publican (Vanessa) was wonderful... she was friendly and supportive
Kate Oliver 1968/1970 I was on holidays from Canada and delighted in this pub. The back room with the large cage, which was almost a room itself, filled with budgies. It is a sad loss.
John Cornford 1940s/1950 I was brought up here as a boy during and after WW2, my mother was born here 1911 when my grandmother Gertrude Groves was publican. They and I had many stories of clientel from the Theatre Royal next door - esp during the war when the West End theatres decamped to Windsor during the blitz. The rear of the building was very old - dating back to at least Tudor Times and excavations were carried out when rebuilt as Thai Square.
