| A wonderful 1930's heritage pub (almost breathtaking in its rarity), so worth visiting for that reason alone. It's a cavernous, dark-wooded affair inside and it can be a bit gloomy on a summers day, but on a winters evening I imagine it really comes into its own. Two beers on my visit - Courage and Hop Back Summer Lightning - which were OK. Reckon that if they were more adventurous with the beer, they could really pull in some more punters. There's a lot of space inside to fill. Landlord did indeed seem to a bit grumpy. Not sure why, given that the three of us had just doubled his attendance on an early Saturday afternoon! Completely worth seeking out for its unique architecture, but not necessarily for the beer, sadly. Could be a real gem though. Quinno - 12 May 2008 20:40 |
| Awful customer service: I went once to the thai restaurant inside which is very good. I then phoned the pub to get the restaurant's telephone number and the person I spoke to was extremely rude: when asked to please repeat the number to me (I was in a noisy place)the person told me that he had already told me and hung up on me. I then phoned again asking him to please repeat the number and he started shouting at me that he had already told me and that he had business to attend (it was 1 in the afternoon) and hung up again. I felt really frustrated and helpless, and for no reason whatsoever! alpao74 - 4 Mar 2008 00:28 |
| Strange place. Veers from excellent with good beer to really grim. Landlord is a miserable type and the pub always seesm cold. jgill49723 - 5 Nov 2007 18:33 |

| Imposing Edwardian pub with an unusual mix of tiling and woodwork on the splendid exterior and much ornate mahogany inside. The pub is in the CAMRA Regional Inventory of pub interiors of special historic interest. One of the rooms is home to a Thai restaurant. The other rooms were mainly full of locals drinking either lager or Guinness. This is not a pub for the real beer connoisseur - only Courage Best, not one of my favourite beers, was on offer, so I went for the Guinness. "The landlord takes good care of his Guinness, so he does" a regular at the bar confided in me. This is an impressive pub - recommended for lovers of traditional and impressive pub interiors and exteriors. For the historians among you, it was specially built for the Royal Brewery in Brentford, who were taken over in 1926 by what is now Courage. JohnBonser - 5 Jul 2005 13:21 |
