Randomness Guide to London Menu

Good Beer Guide pub in Chiswick, and the official brewery tap for the Fuller's brewery next door - tours of the brewery (£10 for adults as of September 2008) start and finish here.

Food is served at lunchtimes (noon-3pm), and is above-average (if uninspired) pub food, at reasonable prices. Nick and fellow Perlmongers tested a steak and ale pie (standard Fullers fare - double-crust pie with a shortcrust base and puff top), sausages (slightly hoppy) and mash, and a perfectly adequate cheeseburger. Daily specials are available, but were slightly uninspired when visited in December 2007 (shepherd's pie, omelette). Food was not sampled in March 2008.

As you might expect, the beer is perfectly kept. London Pride was £2.50. The current licensees are TJ and Christine, formerly of the Star Tavern.

Note the rather restricted opening hours - later opening can be arranged for events.

Somewhat confusingly, the exterior signage still uses the old name Fox and Hounds. The location right next to the A4 isn't ideal, but the pub is a convenient 100m from the Thames Path.
