summary='Mitchells and Butlers (Castle) pub in Kew, in the Good Beer Guide.'

Pub in Kew, in the Good Beer Guide.

It was previously owned by Convivial London Pubs, but as of late 2013 it's owned by Mitchells & Butlers and part of their Castle sub-brand. Also previously a brewpub, but according to the Dec 2013/Jan 2014 London Drinker magazine, they ceased brewing at the start of November 2013, following the M&B takeover.

The information below predates this change of ownership, and hence some details may be out of date.

bob visited on a Monday afternoon/evening in September 2012. There were four real ales on, all from their own brewery: OK Bitter (£3.50/pint), Three Nine One, Maximus, Q Gold, and Queen Charlotte. They also had Nemophila (£3.60/pint), a kegged stout. A bottle of Crabbies was £4.55. All of the beers were OK, but nothing stood out. They also had a range of domestic and foreign bottled beers.

The pub is a collection of interconnected rooms. We sat in a relatively secluded one with some big sofas before moving to a more conventional table when our food had arrived. It was quite quiet the entire time.

Essex duck leg with mash and green beans (£11) was very tasty. The burger with cheese and bacon (£11) photo looked very good as well.

Accessibility: Toilets are upstairs.
