Even though the landlord is a kiwi and therefore will talk boll*x about rugby (NZ + Fiji + Samoa + any disenfranchised Pacific island = All Blacks) the pub is actually great and deserves greater attendance by all who live around the hill. The beer is good the food is tasty and the refurb is an improvement.

visited today. Decent pint of Pride and some good guest ales. Seemed very quiet - must be all those pretentious w*nkers going to the Castle to drink the Bazelgette Pride and competing to see who can laugh the loudest over unfunny jokes....

This is not just bangers and mash it’s the finest Toulouse sausage infused with fresh herbs and spices, marinated over a charcoal fire in a jus of cranberry and wild boar stock with the finest duchess potatoes slowly prepared with chive and crème fresh. All saturated in a traditional chateau neuf bouillon.
No it aint mate – its sausage and splodge at £9 a pop!

Excellent refurbishment. Comfortable and welcoming without going too "Gastropub." Fullers beers are well kept while the Staropramen and Hoergarden will make a nice alternative on a summer's day. Even the wine list shows some imagination. Most impressive of all is the food. Nothing too poncey, just good, fresh ingredients cooked well. The steak sandwich was particularly impressive and the home made chips were superb. I'm sure there'll be a few comments on here from locals bemoaning the chages made to "their pub" - see the comments for The Castle up the road for evidence of this - but this is a textbook lesson on how to update a pub without destroying it's character. Well done.

Yes, they have done a lot in a short space of time. Pleasant atmosphere and we appreciate the range of wines and beers on offer. Look forward to trying their menu.

This pub is open

New tenant, John Mac and his manager Sarah have really turned this wreck of a pub round. I was really impressed with their opening on saturday. The food was excellent and the beer completely clear, new pipes? I liked the new layout, opening it up completely. A rest area with sumptious leather seating in front of one of the two open fires. tables to sit and enjoy the excellent food at reasonable prices. I can recommend the fish and cumberland sausage, delicious.If all fullers pubs are like this, I will make a point of visiting them on my visits to the Smoke.

Now closed. Understand it is to become a bistro.

Nice pub. Great selection of Fuller's beers. Homely feel in the saloon bar with the fire place.

The mens toilets are in desperate need of renovation. On a clear day you can sample the aroma of the toilets from the restaurant section. Where are the health inspectors...

i had the great misfortune to visit this establishment recently. The beer was so bad that i had to drink lager, but even here it was hit and miss. I was in female company -very nice i must say- but the pubs decor isnt suitable for higher classd women. It is a bit down to earth

A Fuller's Pub which has a hit and miss affair with the ales as I had a Winters Ale and it was really nice and then on my next visit I had a pint of ESB but this was not very nice. Then I went again with the old man and the ESB was lovely so maybe something to do with an old barrel? Anyway, definitely recommended for the Thai food, even though there is one waitress who is not quite with it as she messed up our order on the couple of times we went there but this is balanced out by the great food.

I went into this pub recently and the ales and lager were pretty bad. And it's not the first time this has happened. There seems to be a problem here, and maybe the people in charge should start paying as much attention to what is coming out their pumps, as to what is rolling into their tills.

I think this place is a jewel. Harrow is not over run with decent pubs and this really is outstanding. The thai food is amazing and it really is worth a visit. Good for a celebration or a quiet pint.

Good well-pitched pub quiz every Monday. Winner takes pot + rollover bonus. Roadt potatoes all round.

Fullers beer
Tasty Thai food in one bar(with some of the area assigned to restaurant)
Big tv screen in other bar.
Some cosy seats.

Friendly regulars, casque marque draft beers, charming staff, the tv screen can be avoided by us non-soccerites in the other bar, a Summer afternoon, with the windows open and the delightful lazy fan stirring the air - Ah to be in The White Horse, now that summer's here!

A lovely pub. Warm and welcoming. Great screen for sports events. The Thai restaurant which is actually in the pub offers great food at a reasonable cost. Nice for a Summer visit.
