The locals here take the absolute piss. A bunch of self-proclaimed experts on everything, who sit at the bar all day getting hammered. They are so up themselves its amazing;God knows why. Maybe its because they are in a 'wine bar'. I wish I could feel so superior by just getting hammered and talking a whole load of bollox.Pathetic.

This pub has gone up and down. Recently, the food has definitely taken a turn for the better. The beers are ok but there seem to have benn a lot of maangement changes in the last few years. It's really a case of giving it a bit of time. At the moment I would say there are worse places to go in Ealing but better ones too.

I was persuaded to try Duffy's again to get something to eat and was very pleasantly surprised! The meal I had was excellent and the manager is like a different person in the dining area, he was actually friendly. Still not convinced it's a place I would chose to go for a pint or two, the locals are still not the friendliest, but maybe there is room for hope?

Dead unfriendly place, if it was a film set the piano player would stop as you enter. OK selection of beers, but the locals and staff act as if they are in a competition to see who can be the most offhand with newcomers. The locals usually win, just. There are far better pubs in Ealing than this dismal dump.

great beer but the locals are totally upo themselves

slowly but surely getting better. will be interested to see how it develops under the new management. the two guys behind the bar are lovely

Great place to go for a pint. Also close to a great kebab shop on Pitshanger lane. Beer is a bit pricey for a local boozer though.

i used to work in this pub less than a year ago and im sorry to say it seems to have stooped below the standards that i worked under. as ever the bar is divided into 3 with the grumpy old men (with a few exceptions as some of the guys were really friendly) at the end near the door, the clicky regulars and the other end, and all the new people who look rather lost, standing in the middle. the staff have all changed and generally seem rather surly and quite unhelpful not to mention one dark haired girl who cant pour a pint to save her life. everyone else just looks miserable.its a shame as the prices are more reasonable than the kent but now with no stella and the food quality dropping theres not much reason to go anymore!!!! sorry guys!

When I moved to the area I heard stories about this pub being a bit "local" and unfriendly to people who weren't Pitshanger born and bred. However, I've experienced none of this and have always found it to be a lovely place. The staff are friendly, the beer is good and it's in a nice location. A pleasure to drink there in the evening or outside on a sunny afternoon.

Thankfully, too far from Ealing Broadway for out-of-towners to get to!
Great local pub.
