Lovely pub, I can't speak highly enough of it. It makes the most of being fortunate with the area; Brook Green is a lovely place. Being on the green the pub is lucky but the rest of what makes it so good are of their own making, that is friendly and attentive service, great selection of food and drink and a really well set out pub. The images of the green and other parts of Hammersmith on the walls are a nice touch too. It all obviously pays off as it's a really popular pub with local residents, visitors to the area and local businesses alike, whatever the time of day. I think you have to book for Sunday lunches or in the evenings for larger groups. Worth it though, one of my favourite pubs!

A very picturesque pub excellently situated on Brook Green. You wouldn't imagine how big it is from first looking at it from the outside, but the pub extends a fair way back with ample seating and one of the best gardens you'll find in London which is unsurprisingly very popular in the summer. It's certainly upmarket, not a "traditional" pub in that sense, but then what do you expect in this area. I've visited on many occasions at various times in the day and it always tends to be busy, particularly of course in the evenings - yet the service has never been anything but excellent.

I would say it is a pub worth seeking out. The atmosphere is always relaxed and friendly, drink and food I always find to be of the best quality (as you'd expect from a Fuller's pub) and the area itself is an extremely nice one. Also, considering the area, I'd say the drink and food is pretty reasonably priced, though it's unsurprisingly not cheap. No sport is shown here either, which some might consider is a bonus.

Former Chef and Brewer pub situated by Brook Green. It's a relatively recent Fullers acquisition.

It's much larger internally than it looks from the outside, extending back a relatively long way to an attractive looking garden.

Fullers have resisted turning it into a gastro pub style place and, although it's very food orientated, it's not unpleasant, with several perches and tables by the front windows for non diners. It doesn't feel much like a drinkers up at all however - instead it's a rather impersonal up market food, family orientated establishment - which is what I imagine it was trying to be in its Chef and Brewer days.

There's some exposed brickwork and beams, but the decor is rather non-descript and there's little if anything of note.

I imagine that, with its pleasant positioning and large garden, it's quite popular and busy in the summer months, but I don't see any reason to specifically look this one out.

First visit back to the Queens Head since Fullers bought the place, and the interior certainly has been brightened up since the Chef & Brewer days (but without this traditional building being spoilt by some ghastly gastro-pub makeover). The staff seem much more clued-up than before too. The beer used to be OK before, and whether the previous unimaginative selection has been improved since the takeover is a matter of personal choice I guess as Chiswick's finest is not to everybody's taste. However, the Pride (which is so often rather average in pubco outlets) was on top form here. Overall, rating improved from before.
