| I've been here a good few times now because my friend's a bit of a bar spider/regular in this public house. Being next door to quite a built up area it has a well-established local clientele but also pulls in other passing trade. The large windows make it nice and airy and it's cool in summer and inside it boasts panelled walls and pleasant nautical decor. I tend to have the Staropromen which is offered on draught and it's a nice drop. Both the mens' and ladies' toilets are clean, which is always nice. Outside there's a pleasant outside seating area with a patio heater. I think it had pretentions for becoming a gastropub at some point (although a menu did spell mussels as 'muscles') but luckily it's abandoned such dreams and the food's not exactly cheap but is hot and plentiful. I went there one Saturday afternoon and sport was on - not being a huge fan of such things I did find it annoying that it was being shown from both ends of the pub which kind of ruins your conversation really. However once the main match finished it became lovely and quiet. TheSilentSinger - 1 Jan 2012 15:21 |
| Spent a few hours here a couple of weeks ago on a Friday afternoon, drying off after a long walk in the rain. Very pleasant pub, decent beer kept fairly well. Welcoming staff when we visited, and was a great place to relax. bananaco - 28 Mar 2011 18:13 |
| I totally agree with Gann that service could be a little bit better - are you listening, O Fullers regional manager? malo66 - 9 Feb 2011 17:37 |
| Good for a nice, cheap pint of Chiswick (even if I was given an old 5p coin instead of a 10p by one of the barmen). Clientele can be a bit geezerish, and I agree that you can sometimes struggle to get served, despite the number of bar staff. But a good and reliable pub - an asset to the area paul154 - 4 Jan 2011 10:51 |
| Fell on this pub by accident as its not near anywhere. It was an afternoon but still had a fair few clientele. Serves food which I wasnt hopeful of - but got excellent portions, served hot and tasted great and not at city prices! Reasonable range of beers and excellent friendly service. Worth getting lost for! Beer garden will be great in the summer. JennyLOndon - 12 Dec 2010 23:39 |
