Pub near Chiswick Park Station. It's a little bit gloomy inside, but has a rather nice beer garden out the back, with space heaters, decking, flagstones, a lawn, lots of trees, and plenty of seating. There are some sofas inside too, in the back room.
Food is served 7pm-10:30pm Monday to Friday, 12:30pm-3pm and 7pm-10:30pm Saturday, and 12:30pm-3pm and 7pm-10pm Sunday.
Kake once asked a random person near the station for directions, and she was very enthusiastic about the place, saying she drinks there a lot. A good sign, I think.
Derek had sausages and mash for dinner here one evening in early 2008, for £9.50, I believe. It was quite tasty, sufficiently filling, and came with an appetizer of bread, oil, salt and pepper. There was Black Sheep and London Pride on the handpumps.
On Kake's May 2008 visit, beers available were Harveys Sussex Best (£1.50/half) and Black Sheep. They also have an impressive-looking (real) coffee machine, as in the kind that requires a barista to operate. Music was playing inside - I think it was Stephane Grappelli.
Unfortunately my Sussex Best was rather cloudy, and had a couple of small bits of debris in. It was just after opening time though. They did pull through a pint or two into a jug before serving me.
