The Kings Arms, Brentford

This is actually located on Station Road despite its address. Externally, this has a white/blue/turquoise colour scheme and internally is horseshoe-shaped, with a semi-dining area to the far right. A wall-mounted TV showed a PL game, perhaps a little too loudly and a couple of people were tucking into Sunday roasts without playing attention to it. Three stumps - two unclipped, and just London Pride available for an Edward Munch Scream-inducing £4.40. To be fair, it was in great condition, but you'd expect that being in the vicinity. OK, but despite the makeover, Steve C wasn't missing much 10 years ago.

This afternoon I actually got of my train to have a pint in here as I had not been before and after thirteen (yes thirteen) minutes I hadn't managed to get served so I left and got on the next train to Kew. Landlord, Pride and Rosey Nosey were available along with some standard lager. I found the barmaid to be quite flustered serving a work party and the manageress was more interested sorting out food orders. A proper barman/maid would have had no problem with the amount of customers, but this outfit seem to fall short of my required standards which are very easy to attain. It's unfortunate as the pub isn't that bad inside and there is a pool table and also a dartboard case on the wall, but no oche so I'm not sure if there is a dartboard actually in there. This could be a great pub and maybe I walked in at the wrong time, but I still wasn't very impressed.
