| It’s a good few years since I’ve been in here, and it doesn’t seem to have changed very much, except that it’s a Fuller’s pub now of course. They had the usual range of fuller’s beers on (excepting Discovery) when I was in there. I reckon this is a typical West End pub – nothing special about it. Bare-boarded throughout, with the usual mix of high stools/high tables normal tables and chairs; small stools – plus faux chalkboards and the staff wearing regulation black shirts. And it is round, so meets that part of its description. There were mainly tourists in when I was in there on Wednesday lunchtime, with several groups perched round tables that were not really large enough for their groups. A couple of groups got up and left when nothing happened after about 10 minutes (I supposed that this is a pub that does not offer table service!). It must have seemed quite unwelcoming to them – a bit depressing on a wet day in London in June. It’s a fair enough place if you’re a fan of Fuller’s ales; otherwise there’s nothing about it to warrant a recommendation. RexRattus - 14 Jun 2009 19:31 |
| I too am glad to see that Fullers have just taken this one under their wing...it deserves it as it is looking uncared for right now! I look forward to a pint of Chiswick or even HoneyDew in the summer when Fuller's have had a chance to settle in! Great location pubmanstu - 1 May 2009 19:03 |
| Joy of joys. It's just been bought by Fullers. Thank you Lord, another saved from the Punch mire. But how many more can besaved. Punch has £4.5b worth of debt, so they are having a laugh asking for the monies wanted on there properties.There going to be bankrupt by August. Wait for the fire sale on property.

| This used to be such a good pub right in the heart of the market; not any longer. When I stopped by today the bar was being run by two ratty rent boy types, one of whom had a beard and a filthy skin type caused by an unfamilalty with water and soap. I asked for a pint of Directors and the price. ''I don't know'', came the reply. He then tried to pass me off with a pint with a Vicars collar; i I take it that he must have been a Northerner, where they get cheap beer or have it bought for them by the DSS. When I told to top it up,he did so,but wiped the glass with the palm of his hand. This guy would love a job in Mexico; not to be sneezed at the way thingsare going. I can't say I'll be back here for a very long time. WOTCHACOCK - 28 Apr 2009 16:03 |
| Went there on New Years Day in the afternoon. We ordered food and, after 45 minutes, only half of it arrived. When we asked for it, a barman aswered rudely that it's normal to wait when its busy (strangely very few people were eating at the time). Fifteen minutes later we were still waiting, and when we asked for it again to the barman, he just looked at us irritated. When the food finally arrived it was cold, and things were missing (the soup had no bread, the sheperd's pie was just mash potato and sauce, the salad had no pasta as the menu said). We were so unsatisfied we complained, at the barman basically shouted at us. Not once did he apologize for anything. Eventually we asked for a refund of the food we hadn't had and left the pub. Do not go there if you expect any decent food or service, I'm amazed such rude people can be hired to work there. mjo - 6 Jan 2009 09:16 |
