The climb up the hill should get you in the mood for a pint here and it does seem strange to find such a huge pub in this residential backwater, even given the proximity of the Wembley Stadium complex. Set back from the road in acres of car parking space, this place would have been built at around the time of the stadium when Wembley started expanding after the original stadium was built. Not unlike today, it primarily caters for people using the Wembley complex and the interior is definitely built for numbers with most of the interior walls being taken out to make one large walk through bar although there is a small sofa area in a conservatory off to one side. Given the poor standard of pubs in the area, this is one of the better options, although that is not specifically a recommendation. 3 not exactly earth shattering Ales (Tetleys, Green King IPA & Youngs) although quality and availability are not to be counted on. On the plus side, you can generally get served relatively quickly and, despite being off the beaten track, it does get packed on event days although on a good day there is plenty of space in the huge beer garden with its superb views. Other than that it is an average, functional pub with the usual pub paraphernalia that you really wouldn’t go out of the way for. There is one major final downside. On stadium event days they cash in on the crowds by hiking up the beer prices, a practice I find particularly exploitive although it should be said that they are not the only culprits in the area. Drinking in Wembley is hardly a pleasure at the best of times and if a pub wishes to treat its customer base with such greed and contempt then it just makes me vow not to return.

Been here a couple of times now. Last night was the first time I was able to enjoy the beer garden.
Well maintained lawn. Nicely-tended trees, and a great view of THE stadium.
£2.60 for Carlsberg / Carling / Fosters.
Friendly staff and hidden away enough so that it feels quite rural.
Will definately visit again.

Watched Chelsea lift the Cup and then went drinking here. Up a hill and overlooking the stadium, this place has big beer garden and seems to cope well with postmatch throng.

Stayed here recently. Bed was like a bag of springs and the bathroom door had been kicked in. Still it was cheap.
Found the bar staff good but the bar manager ignorant. Preference given to locals.

Visited pub on a 'Wembley' event night, service was prompt. Beer range limited. Didn't order any food. One of the better pubs near the Wembley complex.

Great in Summer with a huge garden. Food is excellent and reasonable prices. Avoid the place on any "Wembley" Event Nights - us locals don't go there!
