No cask. Two handpumps haven't, I would hazard a guess, seen any dispensing action in years. Again, basic keg offering of Guinness, Carlsberg, Moretti, Carling, Fosters, Cruz, original SB, Stella, Peroni, John Smiths and Amstel. Not a craft beer in sight.

Fairly basic sports orientated pub. Bar counter is against the left-hand wall mid venue and juts out into the front part of the venue with stool sitting at the bar counter that provides a good spot to watch the live action on the screen on the right-hand wall. The front part is carpeted apart from a modern wood skirt around the bar counter before the back part adopts the same floor covering in its entirety. The venue is generally wood panelled painted a dull sage green colour and there is a rather grand (for the venue) arch to the right-hand side to guide you to the toilets. Seating in the front part, apart from the stools around the bar counter, is via a banquette along the front part of the right-hand wall, with regular tables and some decent (for the venue) bucket style armchairs. There is a small table on a slightly raised area in the front window, but hardly a viewing spot on the world outside. The rear of the venue has a pool table as its centrepiece, over seen by another wall mounted TV and a dart board in the far-right corner.

This pub dates from 1802 but was rebuilt around 50 years later.
As mentioned, it’s a funny little place; easy to miss. What wasn’t easy to miss, is the sea of fag ends – or more appropriately ‘tabs’ – around the entrance; are they ever cleared?
Inside, it’s a reasonable size, very cosy and ‘L’-shaped. It’s clearly had a makeover, as it’s recently been taken over by the questionably named ‘Craft Union’ chain. The floor is carpeted and paintwork is a palette of contemporary grey/blue shades, with some wood panelling left bare and looking like it was installed in the ‘30s. Furniture is best described as ‘comfy’ and lighting was contemporary. Décor comprises a huge tableau of the area to a wall, then lots of framed flyers advertising sport or meal deals. There was sport with the sound off and an ugly games machine or two. Customers were mixed in age but, as mentioned, all seemed to be Geordies, along with a solitary elderly Irish gent, perhaps lost on his way to the Coningham.
There were two pumps, both unused, so it was a half of Strongbow for an extraordinary £1.50, served by a chatty barmaid: why aye, pet!
This isn’t a bad place for what it is. Lose the games machines and get some real ale in and the score goes up accordingly.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The White Horse

Looks absolutely nothing from the front; in fact, I walked past it many times without really realising that it was a pub. Inside, it is rather larger than one would expect, with a curiously-shaped bar as the room extends behind the adjacent building. Rough and ready in terms of decor (and some of the customers), and it retains an old-fashioned 'working mans' feel with a mixture of Irish and North East influences and racing on the television screens. One handpump, serving a decent-enough pint of Greene King IPA (very well priced at £2.50). Pool table and reasonable beer garden. Overall, quite a refreshing change from the pubs around Shepherds Bush Green, and handy for a pint if visiting the Empire or Bush Hall.
