Tris C left this review about Queen's Head

Located in a pleasant Chiswick enclave, this pub dates from the early 18th century, rebuilt in 1925 with attractive gables in the brewers’ Tudor style and a reasonable walk from Gunnersbury tube.
If you like pictures of cutlery and vol-au-vents, then you’re in for a treat as these can be viewed in high definition on the pub’s website gallery. Otherwise, the somewhat twee interior features strikingly pale floorboards, pale grey wainscoting and matching walls, mixed furniture including some peripheral pews, vases of flowers, lots of modern drawings, most – if not all – available for sale, the product of The Queen's Heard Artists' Collective, established to promote local artists' work to a wider audience; lighting is mixed and there's an attractive left-hand snug with the right-hand side geared towards dining and all to a tinny soundtrack. And almost no customers on a Friday night.
Aside from two sadly unused pumps, the only cask option here was Doom, so I opted for a half of Neck Oil (£3.35), served by a friendly barmaid.
This isn’t a bad pub, but being virtually dead on a Friday evening isn’t a great selling point, neither is the choice of cask beer, the former perhaps a product of the latter.

The door was open as I wandered up to this pub, so of course I went in and had a good look round until someone emerged from the back to tell me that they didn't open until 5.00 PM on weekdays. However, although I didn't get a drink in here I did note the presence of two handpumps on the bar counter, with Sharp's Atlantic and Sambrook's Wandle clips on them.

There's a standard bar area as you enter, where the counter and handpumps are sited, with a larger room on the right which was obviously the dining room. I didn't get a good look around the dining room, but I did spot that the seats had on them black and white cowshide covers, presumably to aid the cowboy/BBQ theme. You could tell that the smokehouse food operation was well and truly up and running by the BBQ odours as you walk in the door. I have yet to eat in a Smokehouse pub, but I can guess at the sort of food that might be available

Now the Smokehouse.Same layout as before but very smart interior.Left side room very posh bit like a gentlemans club.Right hand and main bar set up for dining.Big rear garden but not yet finished.About 10 Craftish sort of kegs,lots of bottled beer and 2 cask beers were on.My Sharps -atlantic ipa £4.30 was very good.Expensive pub for drinks.
