The Crown and Sceptre, Shepherds Bush
Fabulous food. Good beer. Friendly staff. Not the cheapest place to eat but seems to deliver the 'gastro-pub' quality without losing it's local pub atmosphere. Equally comfortable for a sit-down meal with a bottle of wine, or just a few relaxing beers at the bar.

Good range of real beer at a reasonable price. Reasonable pub food. Lots of TVs. Great place to watch a game in the evenings on the way home from work.

I would imagine that since the last review this pub has had a complete change of ownership, decoration and image. The new guy in charge (currently also the only member of staff) has made a real effort to move the place 'upmarket', unfortunately this does seemed to have scared away some of the previous locals and most evenings are very quiet... Don't let this put you off. The place is really comfortable, service is fabulous, and it has just started serving real ale which is a rarity in the local area. The kitchen and garden are still being renovated but I have very high hopes that my rating will increase over the next few months. Oh yes, plus the 100 yards I have to crawl home at the end of the evening may help as well.

The Askew Arms, Shepherds Bush
Pizzas were great and a nice price on a 2-for-1 night, making up for the very pricey lager (not a real beer in sight).
