please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

I agree with jgill49723 the pub does go very quiet when somebody who is not a reguler walks in. And the landlord is a rude guy, for sure.i remember it being quiet good from 2003 - 2004 after that this scottish landlord took over and he really is a very blunt, rude guy.

Not a bad little pub when the telly's off and very good for holding celebrations etc. Landlady does a good and very reasonably priced buffet for you. Quiet mostly but gets busier on music nights. Lagers good and the one real ale is kept well.

Nice pub if the male landlord was not so rude, the food is fantastic and the lady who cooks it runs the kitchen and the pub very well.

Locals stop going there due the the fact they do not like abusive and rude comments made when they go for a meal or a drink.

Would not be a loss to the pub if Walter did not work there.

Strange pub, staff and locals unfriendly. The beer is okay but the place needs to change it's attitude.

Not bad. Usually a comfy seat free & you can avoid the sport on TV, if you want to (which I always do). Basic pub grub is OK, staff are pretty friendly, OK patio for the summer. Good for a quiet local pint.

I tend to agree with the comments above; however they do 35ml measures if you are into top shelf action;cant possibly compete with the fox just down the road.

Not a bad pub just a bit quiet and dark. The regulars and staff aren't overly welcoming in my experience.

The beer garden is nice in the summer though.

Not a favourite.

Only recently discovered the Dolphin.

Went in on a Saturday night and we were only two of four people in there.

Returned last Sunday and there were probably 10 or so.

Regardless, the decor is excellent, it's very well stated and has a really nice rustic feel to it.

Needs to get busier though to stay in business I reckon.

A nice, clean, friendly place, lacking a bit in character. However teh food is good. Beer adqequate but nothing to shriek about (lager more the tone of the day). Lots of oikish yelling at teh footie... which stinks. There is an OK outdoors area with a view of Hanwell Green. It is very nice in some respects but generally not as good as it could be, which is a shame.

Nice pub to take your girlfriend or wife,
Beer & lager ok if a bit on the expensive side. The locals are mostly Tree huggers & over grown students.

Good range of beer and spirits, especially whiskeys. Monthly live music. Two darts boards and two TV screens showing major sports events. Good place for a quiet drink if you don't like shouting over music like most of the other pubs in the area.

This pub had gone severely downhill, but a recent change of landlord and subtle makeover have put it top of my list again. The great beer is back!

Not a pub I use a lot, but the interior is very smart and the staff are very good. Does anyone remember it before it became "The Dolphin"? (The "White Hart" if memory serves.) Then it was dreadful!

A old fashioned style wooden pub which I have frequently sporadically for 3 years hoping for improvement. It has so much potential. Unfortunately, the music is 70's karaoke, upkeep is slight, the landlord is ALWAYS the wrong side of the bar and take my advice and always stay on the bottled beer !
