Randomness Guide to London Menu

A friendly and old-fashioned pub in Hammersmith, opposite Riverside Studios.

This is a charming pub, well-kept and well-run, but showing no signs of following any of the more unfortunate recent trends or fashions, especially given its proximity to a large arts centre. Inside there's carpet on the floor, wooden beams, old photos of actors on the walls, and a surprisingly upbeat selection of pop music. There's a beer garden area out the side with an awning to keep off the rain. The toilets have handtowels out, rather than dryers.

On the bar, two handpulls have Courage Best (£2.80/pint) and Spitfire. There's also the range of usual lagers.

There's no menu as such, but they do serve a selection of toasted sandwiches (£2.30) -- covering such options as cheese and ham, cheese and onion or tomato, and stilton cheese. These are served with a little bit of salad and some nacho crisps, but are pleasingly simple, and tasty.
