Historical version 22 of Dove, W6 9TA (view current version)

Note: Due to a kitchen fire on 21 June 2009, the Dove closed for about a week and then reopened but without a kitchen. We're not sure if they've started serving food again yet.

Fuller's pub on the river in Hammersmith, in the Good Beer Guide. It's made up of several smallish rooms including a nice conservatory with a glass roof with real vines stretching under it. There's an open fire in one of the rooms. No piped music. It's possible to reserve tables.

Unsurprisingly, it gets totally rammed on summer weekends and evenings.

Kake and Bob visited on a Thursday afternoon/early evening in April 2008. It was almost empty when Kake arrived at 3pm, but people started arriving around 5pm, there were very few tables left by 6pm, and it was standing room only when we left around 7pm. Beers available were Pride (£2.95), ESB, Discovery (£3), and Chiswick. Posh crisps were £1.25.

Food is served noon-3pm and 6pm-9pm (last orders 15 minutes prior to finish time). The Fuller's website notes food is served noon-10pm Saturday, and noon-7pm Sunday.

Getting here: note that the only way to get across the Great West Road from the north is via the subway at the bottom of Cromwell Avenue.
