[[Bob]], [[Dean]], and [[Kake]] visited on a Tuesday evening in March 2008. Beers available were ESB, London Pride, Discovery, and Chiswick. Beer was fine, but Dean's Diet Pepsi (£2.05/pint) was flat. The barman was notable for being a veritable whirl of activity - yet still friendly enough. There was background music but not too loud. |
[[Bob]], [[Dean]], and [[Kake]] visited on a Tuesday evening in March 2008. Beers available were ESB, London Pride (£2.80/pint), Discovery, and Chiswick. Beer was fine, but Dean's Diet Pepsi (£2.05/pint) was flat. The barman was notable for being a veritable whirl of activity - yet still friendly enough. We weren't there very long so don't know what it's like for an extended session. There was background music but not too loud. They were serving food (in this area I assume they serve it at lunchtimes too). |

[[Kake]] visited again on a Tuesday afternoon in June 2008. ESB, Pride (£2.95/pint), Discovery, and Chiswick were all still on. My second pint of Pride was cloudy, but they replaced it immediately with no fuss at all. It was quite lively at 4pm on a Tuesday, but there were still a few free tables. I get the impression that the staff will chat to you if you chat to them first, but they default to assuming you just want to get your beer with no fuss (which is perfectly sensible, given the location). Background music again (REM, Edie Brickell), but again not intrusively loud. |

They seem to serve food all day, and a sign seen above the bar in June 2008 said that they serve breakfast on weekdays. [[Kake]] tried the garlic bread in June 2008 and was quite pleased; a generous portion, obviously freshly made, decent bits of garlic, nice bread, and good presentation including a properly-dressed salad in the middle of the plate <small>[http://flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/2553517596/ photo]</small>. |

The toilets are in the basement, but there's a disabled loo in the main part of the pub on the ground floor. At least a couple of the tables are that annoying kind that only short, thin people can get their legs under, so take a look before you choose where to sit. |

[[Kake]]'s verdict: One of the better choices for a pre-dinner meetup in the area, but not somewhere I'd specifically plan to spend time in; it's not unpleasant at all but due to the rapid turnover of custom there's just no real character to it. |
Comment added by Kake: Pride is now 2.95. Pub quite lively at 4pm on a Tuesday but still a few free tables. Seems to serve food all day as the party behind me are eating their lunch. I get the impression that the staff will chat to you if you chat to them first, but they default to assuming you just want to get your beer with no fuss (which is perfectly sensible, given the location). There's a sign above the bar saying that breakfast is now served Mon-Fri. Background music, but not intrusively loud. |
