Great Fullers beers but rancid run down bogs.

Went in on a freezing Wednesday night and it was quiet, but I really rated it. Pleasant staff and beers in excellent form, especially the ESB. Prices very fair.

Small portable heaters all over to warm us up, which i thought was a nice touch.

Will certainly use it again.

Better than most train station pubs. Full range of fullers beers & plenty staff make this a decent place to kill time when waiting for a train.

As station pubs go, this one is quite good. Despite having travelled through Paddington countless times, I visited this for the first time last weekend. It's detached from the busy concourse and eating areas below and has plenty of tables and seating. Beers are from the Fuller's range plus one guest. The pump clips displayed Discovery, Chiswick, London Pride, ESB, Jack Frost and St Austell Tribute. Although our first two choices were unavailable! As part of our round, we ordered a soft drink. Without being asked whether we wanted a small or a large, the barmaid returned with a pint and copious amounts of ice - not too easy to drink if you were in a rush for a train. Needless to say, we asked for a small one instead. Nevertheless, this place is extremely handy and next time I have a wait at Paddington, I'm likely to pay it a visit. The train arrival/departure boards and the toilets are handy.

Fullers pubs so you get the full range plus Tribute. The latter was in good nick although the pub itself lacks character - and what is it with this place and bloody fruit machines - loads of em scattered around the place. Good if you're waiting for a train back to Brissle as I indeed was, otherwise go somewhere with a bit more atmosphere I would say.
