As "Spoons" go this one is not bad for away from Central London. Guest beers available was a nice treat two days before a festival rather than the usual "not available". Food came quickly and was good, chef even noticed an error on his part which was quickly rectified without question. If in Cricklewood well worth a visit.

You can't beat the Docket!!! Yes, its a Wetherspoons -but it doesn't feel like it so much. Nice little booths to tuck yourself away into while you scoff your Docket dinner (reasonable fare, Wetherspoon prices, can't complain really) - lots of old men, decent enough ales that change regularly, and stacks of old books on the walls that give it some individual character. I love it.

The Oct review made me piss myself. Although I'd seen "The restaurant" from the Pink Rupee a very good Nepales restaurant next door. I think this is the best pub for miles around in terms of value for money and friendliness.

Well...I will admit a bias as it is my local, but I am here to sing its merits. A good group of locals, friendly owners, cheap food if required, but most importantly: well kept ales with frequent (weekly) new guests. During the festival in May they had 4 pumps given over for the guest ales, this time around it was 10. And it was much appreciated.
How the Met bar at Baker Street (another JD pub) has a higher rating than this, I don't know...

Not bad for a cheap quiet drink

Great little boozer. You can get always served pretty much straight away. A lot of regulars and a few hardcore alcoholics who sit there for hours by themselves getting pissed. Nice in the summer with the outdoor seating. If you're a policeman then you might be interested in the constant stream of flash BMW and Mercedes visiting the restaurant across the road. Oh, did I say restaurant? What I meant was "glaringly obvious front for a major drug dealing operation".

I had the Sunday Roast lunch there. Large portions and the roast beef was very nice. It has a very Irish atmosphere and its great to see the old boys sipping their pints and catching up on the papers.
Its the pub for the quiet craic and mellow thoughfulness.

I once paid £5.20 for a round of three beers in here. Daylight robbery.

Great place to get drunk before hitting the Crown for a couple, then up to Ashtons niteclub up the road

Performs a very simple function: sells cheap beer. Always amazed at how good value it is there, and always amazed at how I still manage to spend my cash anyway. Fitted with old drunks on every table as standard. Once saw young girls gathered there. Couldn't believe it. Neither could the drunks.

Wetherspoons pub with traditional corporate policy of no music/no tv etc. Food sometimes remains advertised whilst unavailable. Handy if you find yourself in the area and it's pouring with rain.
