Randomness Guide to London Menu

A Young's pub in Kew, attached to a hotel.

Despite being attached to a hotel, this pub does a pretty good job of fitting in between a straight hotel bar and a proper pub. There's a separate dining room area, and in the pub is a mixture of regular small tables, some couches, and some rather higher tables with stools.

Service is friendly and hospitable. The menu stresses basic pub foods, but done well; there is additionally a specials board in the dining room. The macaroni cheese (around £6) was simple but well-made, while the vegetarian lasagne was lovely, served on a very hot plate.

Real ales on handpull are the expected Young's range: ordinary, Special and Bombardier. They also have a wine list, with a very tasty house red.

There's a special seafood menu on Tuesdays, according to the 2007 Good Beer Guide.
