Awesome place.. One of the better pubs in London.. Read a book... Have a her.. Try the cocktails.. Big place and very nicely done.. Not too loud for a Friday ..- Miroslav ŠuvakAugust 18, 2013On weekends work till 2 a.m. Nice selection of bottled craft beers (they offer Table beer by Kernel brewery and Steam beer from Anchor brewery in San Francisco). Lagunitas IPA, and 2 real ales on tap.
Good boozer to grab a drink after work. It has comfy seating, large tables for big gatherings and some evenings even DJ. If football or rugby is on they would pull out a big screen!
Douglas MaitlandApril 7, 2014Perfect Sunday hangout. Great selection of ales. Large portion of chips (£5.50) is enormous and delicious. Only serve roasts on Sundays.
MEL BROWN STUDIOSSeptember 1, 2014Great vibe. A regular on a Friday night and has good music late on and a nice social vibe.
Ross CookOctober 14, 2015Recently refurbished but hasn't lost its character. A good selection of draft beers and good food too.
Righi Travel Like a LocalJune 19, 2014Good for pre-gig drinks sesh. Lots of ales, ipas and other beers from interesting small(ish) breweries
Mark GAugust 30, 2015Try the snacks menu. Macaroni cheese croquettes are a delicious bite size treat.
LondonistJuly 29, 2010The perfect escape from Westfield. Great place for mopey afternoon drinking, given the prison-cage-like booths and the depressing dukebox (Elbow, Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen all in a row on our last vis
Priya TungrusJune 25, 2016Good for a young trendy group meeting but the music was too loud. Enjoyed the sharing platter and malbec.
Christopher DoyleMarch 14, 2015Recover here after shopping in Westfield. Cosy and warm with a good beer selection.
Trendy pub with a good selection of beers. Great music selection.
Free wifi, accommodating bar staff, delicious food and great selection of drinks. Two thumbs up!
Samantha HutchinsonSeptember 3, 2014Perfect for a pint after the football at Loftus Road. Hotdogs aren't bad too.
cocktail promo is: MON-SAT 5PM - 7PM & SUNDAY 5PM - 11PM. Buy one, get the 2nd for £1 (must be the same cocktail)
- Go upstairs. Snugs is heavenly. Great lovely barmaid and all around world onto itself .
Kevin ParcellMarch 6, 2013Great Sunday Roasts. Bigger selection of food available after 5 on Sunday.- Upstairs, your own personal retreat:) good soup and starters too, DJ solid as well
2 for 1 cocktails during happy hour BUT keep an eye on your stuff there really are thieves operating in this pub!
alex woodhamNovember 22, 2015Useful for a restorative after the horrors of Westfield shopping... Especially on bitter winter's eve.
Elyse BouvierDecember 24, 2013Real nice food but come here for the craft and real ales and the atmosphere!
- HelloNovember 30, 2010The buy one cocktail, get 2nd for £1 thing still exists, but is now 5-7pm Mon-Sat and 5pm-close on Sunday.
- Dominic LaycockAugust 28, 2011The Defector might have to be my new favorite cocktail, way too drinkable!
Luca RovereJanuary 7, 2011Perfect to go there for a couple of pints with friends before a Qpr match!
Lorna McMullanJune 30, 2014Check out my blog on 'She Bu' pubs/bars -
Georg BobbertJuly 12, 2019Burgers are expensive.. great description on the menu but 1/10 when you get it. Totes fail.👎🏼
Beer OtterDecember 16, 2012Great range of bottles beers but avoid them unless you're made of gold. At £6.10 per bottle they are pisstakingly overpriced.
