| Traditional old fashioned style Fullers Pub in a highly desirable area but it does manage to escape any sense of elitism in its well heeled neighbourhood. The décor and interior is quite basic and sturdy with an island bar, patterned windows and good solid furnishings although it does pamper to the sofa fraternity in the homely rear section. There is also a small paneled side room and a separate upstairs bar / function room. There is a slight cricket theme (the Prince’s Cricket Ground was situated nearby until being built over in the 1880’s) and the regulars have an annual friendly cricket match against the Churchill Arms in Kensington – a list of the scores since the game’s inception in 1991 is recorded on a board along with other cricketing memorabilia. The old pub sign can also be found inside. A good range of Fullers ales available on my visit; Pride, Discovery, Chiswick, ESB and Porter with prices pretty reasonable for the area. It is sad to read the comments regarding the poor food standards though; I used to know the chef here 25 or so years ago and I know from experience it was pretty good in those days! Despite being quite tucked away, the pub does appear to be as popular as I always remembered and it is also quite handy for the nearby Cadogan Hall, now being increasingly more used as a music venue. My recent visit was the first for many years and I’m glad to see that it hasn’t succumbed to any trendy modernization prgramme like so many of my old haunts in the area. I hope it won’t be another 20 odd years before I make use of the place again. RogerB - 26 Dec 2009 17:39 |
| Fullers pub serving London Pride, ESB, Discovery and Chiswick Bitter. On our Friday evening visit, the downstairs bar was full. So we opted for the upstairs bar, as we were planning to eat. We were the only people in here until a couple of American visitors appeared shortly before we left. Needless to say the upstairs was short of atmosphere. The menu with microwaved food failed to appeal. If you can get a seat in the main bar downstairs, this could be a nice enough place to spend a few hours. Although expect to go home with an empty wallet. The prices in this area are far too high. blue_scrumpy - 16 Aug 2009 14:52 |
| Visited again on a Friday evening and all ales were on and in excellent condition especially the ESB which was sublime! Bar staff very friendly and good at their jobs, very mixed clientèle for a Friday eve and a nice atmosphere prevailed. This is fast becoming a firm favourite of mine especially as it's so close to the awful Victoria coach station and everything around that dump is bad so a visit here on the way to my coach makes the trip one whole lot sweeter.

| rainlight's succinct review below sums this pub up to a tee really so not much to add. The hot afternoon I visited was a bit disappointing as most of the ales were off but the Chiswick I drank was beautiful so nay bother at the end of the day. A lot of poncy places in the area so avoid them and visit a decent pub here, I've not found better around these parts. Also very handy for Victoria coach station just down the road too.

| Interesting Fuller's pub now doing Gale's Seafarers Ale as well, very nice. Lots of cricketing memorabilia around the walls. Cosy small spaces - a real London pub of the sort that should prevail. Upstairs hosts the monthly meetings of the British Science Fiction Association. A lot less expensive than places around Sloane Square nearby, for example the Royal Court's bar with its pleasant line in miniature expensive meat pies! rainlight - 28 May 2009 22:13 |
