This pub boasts a most spectacular mid-Victorian bar-back, plus numerous other original Victorian features including some stunning etched and decorated mirrorwork. I'm not sure whether the bar-back is improved by being wreathed in hops, but they do add a certain bacchanalian air to the place. This is a Fuller's pub, doing the full range of their beers including their Porter. The Chiswick was good, as usual. Definitely worth paying a visit if you are anywhere near.
