Best pub in the area and a lot cheaper than neighbouring pubs. Good service and excellent choice of beer. Full of Chelsea fans on match day which is always good.

Cheap, cheap, cheap...Gets mobbed when CFC at home

Seeking to emulate Wetherspoons but better than that (faint praise I know but praise nonetheless). Seating - including booths - was comfortable, the large bar was clean and the staff were all pleasant. Five taps promised a feast of cheap ale (£2.90 - £3 a pint) but only an excellent London Pride and mediocre GK IPA were actually on. Irritating that the three others, including Doom Bar, were still being advertised on the blackboard. A bunch of noisy but peaceful barrow boys were in yet the bar was large enough to accommodate them without them drowning out everyone else. Best pub in the area of Fulham Broadway but, frankly, there is little to beat.

a cheap wetherspoons type place, good food but the locals all seem to be dole scroungers,

Great pub. Cheap as chips and the beer is kept reasonably well. As most people have said the clintele is mainly students and oldies. Doesn't try to be anything it's not. If you go expecting a swish bar with a high class clintele you will be dissaplonted. Take it as it is, a great cheap pub with alright food. Makes a nice change from the majority of pubs in th area.

This place is nothing special except for the very low prices � Less than �2 for a pint of Deuchars that was very well kept. Youngs Ordinary and Greene King IPA are also available along with some standard lagers. The food is also very cheap so, as you can probably imagine, the pub was mainly populated by OAPs and students.
It�s a big pub with plasmas dotted around and premiership football matches advertised on the walls. There is also a paved garden out the back door. I found the managers (?) to be very friendly even though the snow was pouring down and none of their deliveries had arrived.
Imagine a Wetherspoons with sport on the plasmas and you wont be too far off this place, although I think that the current 3.3 rating is very harsh.

Cheap - with three pints of Deuchars IPA coming in at a little of �5 - but had all the atmosphere (and clientele) of an old-people's home.

I used to work in this pub back in 1967, when Alf Nash (my Fathe In Law) had it.
It was a pretty basic pub back then. Good beer, pub food, couple of Darts teams but that was about it. Typical "street market" pub with all the problems that come with it.
Changing the name so many times seems like a futile attempt to change the image.... I'd like to go back just to see what they've made of the place now.... Maybe someday!!

�150? Most expensive pint I've ever heard of

It is a rubbish pub but where else round here can you get a pint of IPA for �150 and a very drinkable bottle of Chardonnay for �4.89?
You can even get a 24oz steak and chips for a tenner!

cheap food cheap booze so cant be bad, its full of locals but that aint always bad thing ,rather than than the yuppified clientel in other bars in area, staff bit dim but cant have everything ay!!!!
|
I think someone should mention that this pub is as cheap as chips. It's flipping cheap! There's always a lager and a bitter on offer for �1.30 / �1.10 respectively... but the pipes have obviously never been cleaned and the special offers, Fosters and Stella are all eggy as hell. The food is also a mess.
My girlfriend regards invitations here as a rank insult... it's cheap, but also a dump.

Used to come here on lunch breaks when I worked in the area. Fantastic pub. Inexpensive prices and fantastic, fantastic food. They do something called a monster burger (if memory serves me right) for about �4 and it's absolutely huge, comes with fries too.
It looks a little dubious from the outside, filled with harmless old men during the afternoon, but it's a great, great place. Don't let it's location fool you. I haven't been in here in the evening, but during the afternoon, it's a good ole place!
|
it will always be the fulham tap to me good afternoon pub always bit dire at night and on giro day when the nutters from the estate behind it come out to play.
|
This is an okay pub. A bewildering array of local drunkards though. Never had any problems in here but have only gone in at lunch time. Would be interested to know what it is like at night!

This pub has had a bewildering variety of names - the Crown, the Fulham Tap, the Fulham Volunteer, the Goose and Granite, the Goose. What it is, is a large boozer without a lot of decor, probably catering mostly for people who've just done their shopping in North End Road market, or local people sheltering for several pints while watching the racing on the telly. Don't go thinking it's as dire as some of the Uxbridge Road pubs, for it isn't, but there is not much more here other than drinking and a small patio out the back.
