Been there quite a few times in the last couple of months. The area was definitely in need of a pub like this. Great food, good friendly service and well decorated. Will definitley be going back!!!

This pub is now "Flynn's Bar & Diner" after a serious refit a few months back!
The interior got a complete overhaul, as well as a new landlord and staff by the looks of things!
The dart board and pool tables have gone and it looks like they are catering for an older clientele, highlighted by the "over 21s only" signs that greet you on the way in.
There is a much wider menu and a very reasonably priced carvery which, when I went in for a pint last week, was offering a choice of lamb shank, beef, turkey and boiled bacon! It all looked delicious as well!
The ropey old beer garden at the back has been replaced by a covered timber framed seating area which is very cosey and, I assume, has been added for smokers!
Someone has obviously spent a lot of money on this pub, it looks clean and welcoming - although it was a little dark and I'm not a big one for guitars and violins up on the walls! I am sure it will be very popular with regulars and will attract a lot of trade with people working and shopping in West Ealing.

Quality bar staff in Paulina and Rachel. Good beer. Had a couple of handy pulls in there, one on a Sunday afternoon which was a pleasant surprise!

Following my comment on the 3rd May, I have been there since and have discovered that the man in charge used to be in charge of Flynns at Hayes End (my local pub) - he did a very good job of turning a poor boozer into a good one so I am prepared to wait and see what happens!

Went there last night for the first time in a while to discover that the landlord has changed and it appears that the quality of custom has deteriorated - it looked like a fight was gonna occur at any second! Also, the decor looked a little tatty - the scaffolding outside didn't help either - I will be reluctant to visit again!

I like this pub, its cosy and the staff are friendly and pass the time of day with you, I used to go here regularly and went again last weekend after a 9 months+ absence and all of the bar staff came over to say hello. The beer tastes fine, you get 35ml spirits and it stays open until 12pm at the weekend. The locals are a friendly bunch and 'most' of the live bands are good and happy to sing requests.

Cheap drink but good quality,nice barstaff,smokier than an english barbeque on a rainy day.

Cathy I find the staff to be very friendly and I don't find them to be changing any more often that is usual in a pub.

I am confused...you say it's for over 65s only but go there if you're gay?? I think you are confusing this place with another of your hang outs perhaps.

If your over 65 this is for you. everyone younger, you will feel better if you stay in and watch paint dry. they can't even get a good TV reception. Nice open log fire tho. If your gay and on the pull, you might want to try this pub.

What a mix of characters in here; builders, office workers, old women in for a G&T, all mix in perfect harmony. Great for after work during the week and the food is okay. The saloon bar is large with very comfy seating and fireplaces. The only odd thing is the weird constantly-changing barstaff (apart from Irish guy, who seems normal). Has Sky sports too.
