Visited 02/03/26. Visited previously 02/08/23.

Cask here was Harvey’s Sussex Best, Sambrook's Powerhouse Porter then two from Lilley's, the Bee Sting still perry and the Mango cider. Quite a lot of keg offerings, Guinness, Lucky Saint, Inch's, Blue Moon, Prine Time Session IPA, Dusty's alcoholic ginger beer, Juicy Chug hazy IPA from Jiddler's Tipple, Neck Oil, Gamma Ray, Siren Lumina Session IPA, Stone Wood Pacific Ale, Damm Lemon, Brewski Peach lager from Renegade, Cold Beer lager from BrewDog, Hofmeister Helles, Moretti, Cruz, Amstel, Budvar and Asahi.

Really pleasant L shaped venue with covered seating on the right-hand side of the venue. Inside the venue is bare boarded with the bar counter against the rear wall in the front side of the L shape. Some tall stool seating at the bar counter on a small chessboard skirt. To the left of the entrance is a sporting area with dart board, pool table, and shuffleboard. Chunky tables in the front along the bar counter. Beyond the right-hand edge of the bar counter is what feels like a dining area, with projector screen and the open kitchen serving hatch. Plenty of events such as quizzes, live music, beer festivals. With good beer choices this really looks like a venue that knows what to do to be successful in these difficult times for pubs. I really like this venue.

An old pub given the usual designer treatment, in this case by an arm of Big Smoke, with exposed brickwork, dangly lighting, ceramic tiles and green paintwork. Despite this, it felt like a pretty good neighbourhood pub, with a few family groups in eating, rather than the gastro feel of some nearby. The pleasant atmosphere was helped by some relaxing music and the sound off on the big sports screens, but I guess that changes easily. A pool table and dartboard have been added at one end. Cask ales on this visit still Big Smoke Cosmic Dawn (good condition) and Harvey's Best, joined by a rugby special of unknown origin. No fewer than 20 keg taps offered various Big Smoke and other stuff. I could have settled in quite happily.

Just a short walk from Ravenscourt Park station, this is another pub taken over by the Big Smoke Brewery, albeit with a considerably more limited cask range than the other pubs of theirs that I have visited. It’s a decent sized pub with an open plan layout across two notionally separate rooms, with a brick archway dividing the front and rear areas. The front part is a split level space, with a raised area to the left where you can find two shuffleboards, whilst the right side is a bare boarded seating area with comfy banquettes along the front wall and some armchairs and sofas along the right-hand wall. The floor boasts a couple of unusual circular mosaic tile inserts, which were presumably a feature from one the the pub’s previous incarnations. The walls are painted in dark shades or just exposed brickwork, and have been decorated with an eclectic set of paintings and various blackboards. The servery runs in an L-shape on the back wall and has a dark painted counter and mirrored bar back with two TV screens showing live football above. The blander rear room felt a bit brighter and perhaps more suited to diners, with an open kitchen to one side, potted plants dotted around and plenty of plain mirrors on the walls. Many more TV screens at various points throughout the pub, were showing the same football match with the sound on, which clashed with a music soundtrack that was also audible. To the right, a door leads out to a heated patio garden, which I didn’t properly explore.
Just the two ales on the bar, rather than the long row of handpulls you tend to associate with Big Smoke pubs, so I was hopeful of better, more consistent beer quality. Sadly, this wasn’t the case, as my pint of Big Smoke Cosmic Dawn (£4.70), was pretty ropey, although the other ale - Harveys Sussex Best - was taken by a large group of Brummies who turned up shortly after me, and they were all singing its praises, so maybe I just got unlucky. The barmaid here was very friendly, but did struggle to pull a few pints on occasion.
This felt like a decent enough pub in a similar format to the brewery’s other houses, and unfortunately also exhibiting similar problems in terms of ale quality. It’s a decent option to have if you’re jumping on or off the tube here, but is far from the destination pub that I suspect the brewery would’ve hoped it could become.
