Randomness Guide to London Menu

Young's pub and hotel a short walk from Hammersmith Station, in the Good Beer Guide.

Food served 7am untill 10pm all week. Most main courses are around £7-10, with some up to £13; see the http://www.brookgreenhotel.co.uk/menu.php?menu=4350 on their website. Starters are also available at £5-6. Sunday roasts for 10.95.

It has a courtyard-style beer garden which is available for private hire, and includes a smoking area "with umbrellas".

It also has a cellar bar which is availible for private hire which has its own enterance, toilets and you can plug an i-pod into thier sound system. They also have a canape menu for large groups.

On a visit in June 2007, the menu had a lot more options than were listed on the website. (The website prices appeared to be accurate for the dishes shown.) The "21 day aged Scotch rib-eye steak" (£12.90) was excellent (cooked as requested, with a very tasty peppercorn sauce), as was the "sauteed cornfed chicken" in "mushroom, garlic and herb cream sauce" (£9.95). The quality and standard of presentation of the food both seemed to be aiming for the "hotel" rather than "pub" level. Considering the number of places that charge £11 or so for an overcooked piece of low-quality steak, £13 did not seem unreasonable for the quality of this offering. Beer is standard Young's fare, but was well kept. --Martin
