| 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. rpadam - 12 Dec 2009 10:11 |

| This is a top notch Fuller's pub. As you enter there's space on the left and right, and the pub extends a long way in front of you. At the end of it is a brilliant garden which is like a slice of the countryside in west London and has heaters for the winter at the end of it nearer the building itself too. The decoration is as described by the last posters. The drink is on the expensive side but yet reasonable for the affluent area. I had a steak and my friend had a burger, these were both very good and with change from £10 good value again considering the area, and it came quickly. The customers as CityGent said below are pretty well to do professionals, groups of posh youngsters and couples. It's a good mix and the atmosphere's nice. The service is efficient and friendly. Taking all this into account as well as adding on being in pleasant Brook Green, this is a pub to recommend. Captain_Carwash - 17 Nov 2009 21:22 |
| This is a Fuller’s pub with almost the full range on, but excluding Chiswick and including Gale’s Seafarers. The half of Seafarers that I had was OK and cost £1.60, so I suppose a pint would be £3.20. Not cheap, but my long-suffering wallet seems anaesthetised to this sort of price by now. The pub itself is very smart and clean, and reasonably comfortable. There are two or three high stools and tables in the front central window area, and a couple of sofas, but the rest of the furniture consists of normal tables and chairs. The mix doesn’t seem out of place here. There’s not much in the way of décor on the walls; a few black and photographs and that’s just about it. The pub goes back a fair bit on the right, and looks as if it might have been extended at the some, and there is a smaller room on the left with just a few tables and chairs. The ceiling sports some false beams; there is some exposed brickwork on pillars and walls; and the flooring is a mixture of russet tiling, and dark, slate coloured, stonework. The kitchen was closed for a refurbishment during my visit, so I can’t comment on the food. Other posters have made positive comments about the garden, but the weather would have to be a good bit nicer for me to venture out there! This is not the sort of pub that I usually go for, but for some reason I rather like this one. I suppose the modernist décor is not too overstated, and I do like Fuller’s ales. This pub comes recommended by Amy_J, who is clearly a lady who knows a good pub when she sees one (although I confess that I do still prefer the Blue Anchor!). I would happily drop in for a pint or two if in the area again, and I’m sure that I could happily spend an evening in here if in the right company. RexRattus - 14 Nov 2009 11:35 |
