Use this pub quite frequently. Seems to be a well run Wetherspoons with a decent choice of real ales (about 8 or 9), food OK too.

This pub puts Fullers pubs to shame; not that I have a problem with Fullers beers but I do with their prices. How come Gill can knock out a large Pinot Grigio for £2.50, when the thieving Fullers bastards can charge anything up to £6. It is easy to take excellence for granted but there are not many pubs around that are better than this one.

I live on a park bench and find the last comment most insulting. If it wasnt for the few pennies I make playing my banjo at Ruislip manor station I wudnt be able to afford my pint of Grand Union at Moons or my copy of Hedge Funds Review to track market volatility on Hotspot FXi.

Got fed up with popping in after work because of the unavoidibly loud conversations. Generally of the red necked banjo playing bigoted fuck wit nature.
No complaints about the staff.
(only) slightly better than your average weatherspoon park bench wino clientèle.

This place is always busy, it is very much a locals pub. Service is swift and the Sunday roasts are pretty good. I come here once a month for the excellent selection of guest ales, you can guarantee that there will be a decent ale on every time you visit.

Great atmosphere. Something about this pub makes you want to come back again and again. Everyone in the pub is local but there is not the clique of people you may find in some pubs. On the weekends you get a lot of young people who all went to the same schools etc and have come back from university so the atmosphere is friendly, you tend to always see someone you know. I think it has been this way for a while because you also get big groups of older generations meeting up before dining or going elsewhere, so it has a reputation of a meeting place. It is a right of passage for the modern day if you live in this area.
Very very rarely any trouble in this pub. The landlord has been there since it turned into a Wetherspoons and has built up a good rapour with the customers.
I would definately recommend this pub as one of the best Wetherspoons in the country and i have visited quite a few.

Cracking beer festival; great ales on especially the Bishop's Tipple-all gone now i'm afraid. No disrespect Tomo24, but you'd do well to find a better pub in Ruislip. I agree moons lacks a bit of atmosphere, but the quality of beer and food makes up for it

I'm glad that this pub is starting to get the appreciation it deserves. It is definitely the best moon pub that I have ever been to.Most the staff are friendly and the service is generally good. Is it just me, but moons pubs don't seem as cheap as they used to?Maybe I'm just getting old.

Overrated, funny atmosphere. Management think it's more than it is. Always walk past it.
|
Never had a problem with the pub, service is good and the beer is always in good condition.
Went in for a meal on Sunday a few weeks back. Naturally I had a bath first and put on some expensive cologne (haha). We had to wait for a table. As they were full. Meal was fine, well worth the wait.

An excellent pub; all the benefits of being part of a chain, but with a local, community feel. Excellent Guinness and best food I've ever had in the Wetherspoon chain. Welcoming to regulars and visitors alike. Very busy on Fri / Sat nights. Highly recommended.

A standard Wetherspoons outlet. At weekends, it's packed with younger drinkers taking advantage of the cheap prices. However, it usually quietens down a bit later on in the evening.
For cask ale fans, there is always a good selection with 5 or 6 real beers to choose from.

Typical Wetherspoons pub so don't expect anything else. It actually used to be an OK pub to visit but over the last few years it seems to have attracted more than it's fair share of chav's. Mind you, that could be said of Ruislip as a town, in truth. Shame as Gil has run the place for years and the last time I was in there he looked like he'd had enough.

Actually, in my opinion, this is a remarkable pub, a real success story. The beer is always in great condition, plenty on offer and very cheap!. It has a multi-age range (18 to 80) which mixes together very well. Food is alway good(the kitchens have recently been refurbished)The atmosphere is great. Check it out, you will not be disappointed!

As well as the total lack of atmosphere and the smelly old men, it is also freezing cold. Woolworth’s with beer; nothing more.

Full of old smelly men that get hammered! It was better when it was Woolworths!
