ORIGINAL REVIEW May 2014
A top real ale destination pub, very popular with a decent area out the front for open air drinking.The bar has two flanks with the right handside leading to a restaurant,while the left hand side ends in a banquetted snug with fireplace and stairs up to a first floor lounge with it's own small bar which can be hired for a private party.The decor is more modern that I remember it,but still retains enough of a pub atmosphere to be enjoyable.Seating space remains at a premium.The chalk board lists both the real ale and craft keg options,many of the real ales are doubled clipped around the bar but there were still six ales to choose from on my Sunday afternoon trip including Vale Gravitas in absolutely top condition.There are copper tanks of Pilsener Urquell in the front bar,an unusual feature.The clientele was a mixed bunch on my visit,and the nickname of The Sloany Pony didn't seem a fair reflection of who was in after a match at Craven Cottage.The best pub of my tour of the area,very close to the Underground station and well worth a revisit for decent real ale.
UPDATE
Being in the 2026 GBG drew this visit and what a let down.There were a lot of family groups with small children ,some out of control and several screaming.Worse was to come when approaching the bar.Adnams Broadside,Fullers Hophead and TT Landlord clips all reversed and "coming soon" leaving London Pride (murky),Three Acres Southern Strong Ale (7% and not sessionable),TT Landlord Dark (watery) and Burning Sky Inclination (NBSS 1.5,vinegar tang in the finish,out of condition.) The selection looked like the remnants of their Old Ale festival which finished on 18th October ! The clueless staff couldnt say when "coming soon " ales were coming and so the crew pushed off elsewhere to find decent ale.
The local CAMRA branch have bigged this pub up,the ale range and conditioning were not worthy of the GBG and none of the staff seemed to care in this pubco chain outlet.
Avoid at all costs,my worst London ale experience for a very long time.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The White Horse
Upmarket pub (aka The Sloaney Pony) with a restrained semi-traditional look to the U-shaped bar and upstairs rooms, and it also has a covered patio area to one side that soon fills up on football days or in sunny weather. Has a long-standing reputation for the selection and quality of its cask ales, and for various beer festivals held during the year. On this visit it was mostly dark beers on the eight handpumps in the main bar, plus ten more direct from the casks in the Boardroom upstairs, for the 41st Old Ale Fest. Harvey's Old Ale and Old Man from its near neighbour Long Man tasted side by side which was interesting, with the former rich, fruity and darker, and the latter slightly crisper, hoppier and more roasted like a porter. Also tried the stronger Chiltern Three Hundreds and the Old Aged Ale from Three Acre, before finishing things off with the punchy Export India Porter from The Kernel. Always worth a visit.

Fairly upmarket pub at the northern end of Parsons Green, near the tube station and overlooking the Green itself. Inside, there is a central island bar with seating almost all the way around. On matchdays at Stamford Bridge, an outdoor area is used to full effect, as it's difficult to grab a table indoors.
Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter & Timothy Taylor Landlord are the regular ales. Guests on our Monday evening pre-match visit were Three Acre Best Bitter & Spring Golden Ale, Burning Sky Plateau & Marble Pint. There was no sign of any real cider. A CAMRA discount is offered, which is worth taking, as prices here are on the higher side.
