| The Cross Keys is a smallish, traditional Fullers pub situated in a residential area between the Great West Road ( A4) and Hammersmith's King Street. It's one the other side of the A4 from the better known Black Lion. It's a pleasant pub with much light pine wood panelling. A small L shaped bar at the front leads into a larger open area behind and an outside garden with a covered smoking shelter. The pub has a real community feel and it's evident that much work is done in raising money for charity. A framed print of a magazine article tells us that this is James May's local and he describes it as a proper local "free of the distractions of passing trade". A "Chippy Menu" is offered, which is basically chips with whatever takes your fancy. On my recent visit, 3 of the 4 pumps were serving London Pride and the other one Seafarers. Perhaps the absence of passing trade means that there's no need to offer a wider range of Fullers beers - eg Chiswick, ESB. This is a perfectly adequate, if unremarkable, pub in an area where traditional community locals seem to be desperately thin on the ground. JohnBonser - 16 Jun 2010 13:34 |
| First visit after all this time working in Hammersmith and a pleasant one - not sure why they have three handpumps with Pride though...(and one with seafarers). Attractive front, nice seating space at back too and what looked to be pretty good value food. A bit off the beaten track but worth checking out, especially for Fullers fans! jeremyb - 12 Sep 2009 11:51 |
| Don't know if someone read my last comment but they had Seafarers on last time I was there, as well as the Pride which as always was well kept. Good stuff. wizzard - 29 Jun 2009 10:34 |
