[[Kake]] visited on a Wednesday lunchtime in September 2009. They had four Fuller's ales on handpull — HSB, ESB, Discovery (£1.45/half), and London Pride — as well as Honeydew on tap. Lime and soda was 80p/pint. When I arrived around 2pm, there were around 10 or so people in, some having lunch, some sitting with a pint and the paper. No music was playing, and I didn't see any TVs. TVs would feel out of place here, anyway; the ambience was pretty much exactly as I'd expected from my brief wander through the rather posh-villagey Harrow-on-the-Hill. |

Food is served until 9pm every day, according to the 2010 Good Beer Guide. The menu <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3904682311/sizes/l/ photo as of September 2009]</small> includes both traditional pub food and lighter, saladier dishes. In September 2009, [[Kake]] tried the tuna nicoise style salad (£10) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3905501076/ photo]</small>. The tuna was a bit overcooked for my taste, and quite dry around the edges, though the char on the outside had a decent flavour. The salad was better, with some very nice olives, crunchy red peppers, crisp green beans, and a decent dressing that clearly didn't come from a bottle. |

In April 2011, [[bob]] had the burger and chips (£8.75) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/5672478192/ photo]</small>. The burger was made from decent meat and had a nice char to it. The cheese on top was a decent bit of Cheddar. The chips were OK but nothing special. |

Fuller's pub in Harrow-on-the-Hill, in the Good Beer Guide.
Inside, it's divided into a number of areas, each with a slightly different feel, including a rather dark room at the back which seems to be set up mainly for diners. There's also some outdoor seating along the side of the pub.

Accessibility: It's located on a steep hill. Two high steps up to get in, but it's on one level once you're inside. There's a RADAR-locked accessible toilet.
