Randomness Guide to London Menu

A large, popular Fuller's pub opposite Ealing Studios, and Local CAMRA Pub of the Year 2002–04. It is on the 65 bus route with two bus stops within about a minute's walk.

The food is excellent, although not cheap (£10-15 for a main course as of March 2007); evening dishes might include slow-roasted lamb shank with thyme and red wine, served with root vegetable mash; fish stew with halibut, prawns, mussels, and coriander; root vegetable and mixed bean stew with herb mash; or confit of duck with sauteed new potatoes, green beans, and caramelised onion gravy. The night we were there the menu comprised seven meat dishes, four fish, and two vegetarian. In the evening food is served from 7pm until 9:30pm.

There is a seperate and different lunchtime menu served from midday until 3pm. The dishes are cheaper and it is more fixed than the changing evening menu.

Four well-kept Fuller's ales on tap (ESB and London Pride at all times, Chiswick or Discovery and a "guest", normally from the Fuller's range) and a longish wine list. A pint of Pride was £2.60 (March 2007). They also do takeaway beer in paper containers that they keep behind the counter. They charge less for takeaway than 'drink-in' beer.

The pub has a few tables outside at the front, as well as a back garden with mushroom heaters.

According to the Fuller's website, food is served noon-3pm and 7-9:30pm Monday to Saturday, and noon-5pm Sunday.
