The Oak W12, Ravenscourt Park, W12

Like its sister pub, the Oak W2, this is in effect a restaurant. There’s seating for drinking outside but on entering, there’s a meet-and-greet area where diners can be shown to their seats. There’s limited stool seating to the bar for drinkers but that’s about it. The interior’s quite lofty with a trendy interior employing well-worn design motifs such as bare brick walls painted white, at least one wall covered with exposed log ends, trendy lamps on long flexes and a bare boarded floor painted white and now distressed through wear. Service was friendly enough but there’s no real ale, possibly even no keg stuff either so I opted for a half of Estrella at a painful £2.70. As there’s no real ale a here and the venue is arguably no longer a pub, I won’t be returning. The Tabard is jut ten minutes’ walk west of here.
