Contemporary design made it souless and uncomfortable. Served me a frozen pizza which I returned and got refunded on, and my wifes chicken curry was bland. Avoid.

Jenny, they're not dissaproving looks but pervy looks;-) I went a few months ago with a white female (i'm asian) and another friend for a pre drink before going fpr a curry, we had some starters as we were peckish and had a wait and they were disguting, avoid the food!

A place for adults yet staffed by Gestapo and treat you like you are a prisoner,why?
1) Upstairs is shut for a certain time, when it did open we went up and were then told in an abotu an hours time to go down again.
2) You have to queue to go outside for a smoke, that's right queue, if you want to leave you go, but if you are a paying customer who is stying to spend some more and fancy a fag you have to queue.
3) if you do leave the day glo yellow jacketd rent a guard at the door barks at you if you are leaving or coming back in, if coming back in you have to do the above. You can't even leave in peace.
There was a cute polish barmaid though.

Went to this place the other day and first impression was "what the hell is that stink?". I suppose smoking in pubs was good as it masked the horrific odours of students and tourists. If I had farted it would have made the place smell better.

Pricey. Staff are slow, surroundings are pretty ok, but I resent paying �3 for a guinness!

Nice, unoffensive and not full of tourists, decor a bit bland.

I feel like im drinking in a waiting room when dragged to this place. No atmosphere, but the staff do try their best.

I like this pub, can get crowded (location, location, location) but it has some atmosphere, certain regulars, and good staff that make it a better pub than others in the west end.

This is a lovely pub with character and lovely deco, keep it a secret though, don't want any treny wanna be's ruining it.

This was definately a no smoking pub! Its the reason I used to go there (though I do occasionaly light up a cigar), it was nice to go to a pub without stinking of fags, other than that there is no other reason to go there, the guiness was always served a bit ropey as well.

Very loud and very annoying bar, hate it, why go when there are so many better bars and pubs?

Used to meet my cousin in here, was ok a few years ago, cant remember much, but was full of fruit machine addicts and card players.

The old irish landlord was great , could never unserstand a word he said but always had a lock in, new guy is great as well, looks after customers, gave free food out during chelsea liverpool match, nice little beer garden.

Used to be my local, but landlord let in a bad travelling crowd (always fighting and intimidating ppl), because they drunk everything dry, lots of locals including me never went back. Shame, on its day it can be a very nice pub.

Had beer glasses throwen at me when leaving a few years ago, reason? Won a game of pool and being asian.

Carverys nice, the bar next to is ok for a quiet pint, the other bar has nice fire, but its very dark, the tables are scratched, the local chavs hog the pool table, and have seen some unsavoury ppl in their.
On the plus, I live locally and some stunning eastern european girls occasionally attend (from the local ind est's).

A plcae to go if you want to hear girls say bollocx all the time, have bad beer and get the low down on the latest greenford chav happenings.

Was good when they had a great big garden, now a htel, very garish inside and lacks atmosphere, still have good food deals sometimes.

All Bland One. Awful, was forced to attend for a meet up, and could not belive how full it was, is everyone in ealing that boring?
6 Jan 2006 01:45
Stopped going here, never really liked it, nearly always seemed like somebody wanted a fight when attempting to the bogs.

Was hunting for property in the area, popped in for a cheek pint and laughed my head off at the pretence of the clientele and how ridiculous and uncomfertable some ppl looked when sitting on those cube type things, how the feck are you supposed to enjoy a pint sitting on that?

My local, but becoming less so, the price of beer seems to leap up suddenly , recent 15p rise for a London Pride is an example.
