The Green W7, Hanwell, W7

There was green and white (Guinness funded?) St Patrick’s Day decorations everywhere when I was in there on Monday. I’ve nothing against St Patrick’s Day, but the amount here seemed a bit overpowering. There were four handpumps on the bar, but only one was in use, and that was dispensing London Pride. The main bar seems very basic, bare-boarded, with a few tables and chairs, but with a large open area, presumably to allow upright drinking I suppose. A smaller connected bar area on the right had a couple of dartboards, but little else. As you go through the bar, on the left at the back there is another seating area. There was a pole attached to one of the posts in the main bar area with a dozen or so pump clips attached to it, suggesting a guest ale policy; shame there was no other evidence of such a policy during my visit. I didn’t find anything special enough about this pub to warrant a return visit.
