Named after the hamlet of Botwell, now the location of Hayes town centre, a large Wetherspoon pub with several drinking areas opened in 2000 following conversion from furnishers S Moore and Son. The walls are painted deep red and are adorned by modern art paintings, along with a biography of George Orwell, who taught in the area but was not very impressed with it. Comfortably furnished with pine tables of various shapes and sizes, along with an area with sofas. The many games machines all have the sound turned off. There are outside drinking areas at both front and rear (which has heated jumbrellas). Last entry time for new customers is 23:00 every day. Customers already on the premises will be served until the advertised closing time.
