Fuller's pub on the river in Chiswick.

It has a seating area overlooking the river at the back photo. On Kake's first visit, on a Friday evening in October 2007, it was reasonably busy though not overcrowded. On my second visit, on a Tuesday evening in May 2008, there were seats left around 7pm but it was getting quite busy by 8pm.

In May 2008, Strongbow was £3.25/pint and I think Honeydew was £3.15/pint. I think they also had all four of the Fuller's usuals (Pride, Discovery, ESB, Chiswick) on, plus I saw taps for Staropramen and Leffe. Jugs of water and glasses on the bar to help yourself (it had been a rather hot day - not sure if this is normal practice). Landlord appears to be something of a character (in a good way).

Food is served noon-10pm Monday to Saturday, and noon-8pm Sunday. The food side seems to be a separate operation from the beer side; there's an open kitchen and serving point around the back of the bar, and you order your food from here. I'm not sure if you can order food to be served throughout the pub, or only if you're sitting at the tables near the kitchen.

In May 2008, we tried the moules marinieres (£8.50 for a main course portion including a smallish amount of baguette), which were fine; and the steak pie, which was a stew in a dish with a puff pastry lid, i.e. not a true pie.
