Warwick Castle, Maida Valeback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
First ever visit from yours truly last Saturday.
Former Charringtons pub in a quiet side street near the canal with a rather upmarket feel to it.
Good pint of Doom Bar and some original traditional features, including etched glass, combined to make this a reasonably enjoyable visit.
Note the old painting of Paddington station over the fire place.
Worth including in a crawl of the area

Not a bad pub but a bit dis-located, Over stacked with furnature, not enough room to move. Lots of people when we visited. Toilets dirty, thats not good.
Good selection of beers but the staff were unable to remember the round even though it was only 4 drinks, happened almost every time. One thing we disliked was all the people hanging around the door outside smoking, lots of cig ends, not nice. Could be so much nicer with a clean and some good staff.

A great pub, first class beer and food,friendly staff.Will certainly be back when next in area.

Disappointing to me, read reviews on here and was meeting my girlfriend in the area, so popped in for a pint. Waited almost 20 minutes to be served, the poor guy behind the bar was on his own when there should be 3 people and had a good 10 customers waiting all the time, plus he couldn't work out who was next so I and others suffered. I finished my pint quicker than it was serve it. Apart from that it seemed fine - maybe a bit snobby but that's the area, but please please sort the terrible service out. Can't give more than a 5 due to this...

I echo what people have said below. Lovely old boozer. Would be nice if we could keep it unspoilt. I once spotted David Soul drinking in here, so it must be good.

Yep,..its nice here,.....last time i went though,...there was a neighbouring shopkeeper outside covered in pigeons/reading a book,........still,..when in Rome...

Nice place - and considering the area, reasonably priced too. And I agree with the last post - don't tell everyone about it! One little mystery - on previous visits, I've felt compelled to whisper, as everyone else seemed to! (I've not been in the evening!) Looking forward to visiting in the summer, and whiling away a few hours out the front.

A wonder of a place..the friendliest pub I've ever been in.Felt like old friends in no time at all. Shh..don't tell everyone! It's a secret!

A proper local - friendly staff, welcoming regulars and great beer. Owned by Mitchells and Butler, benefits from special offers, but doesn't feel like a chain pub. Great location in winter with open fire and in summer with picnic tables at the front.
