The Sir Frank Whittle (JD Wetherspoon), Hounslow

The Big Smoke Taphouse has an island bar that is lined with bar stools. Double sided televisions above, that were showing muted Sky Sport News, faced into the bar and out to the open plan seating beyond. Live football is advertised. By the entrance are branded T-shirts for sale alongside some other tat. Banquettes run along the large mirrored rear wall that has a door to the left which was supplying a stream of waiters with food. The bar supports six Big Smoke keg products alongside Stella and Guinness. The Stella line could do with a clean, especially at £6.90 a pint. This place is more of a bar when compared to the Fullers place upstairs, but there is no cask.
