Smart and upmarket street corner pub with a large beer patio to the long side and benches along the main road.Inside is open plan with wooden floors and leather bound benches to the side,exposed brick wall below which are dining tables,long bar with a mirrored back to the right then a seperate smart restaurant beyond an open kitchen.Food is the main driver here but just drinking is fine and there was a friendly welcome.Flowers on every table continued the gentile theme although there are evening DJ's at weekends and a roped off basement room must be used for some reason.The gents was well tiled and had large porcelain urinals with splash guards.
Only London Pride available and out of condition NBSS 2.Unremarkable keg options ,so this pub wont get a revisit,it's too food orientated for me.

Finally, an NW10 pub with cask ale on this initial trawl around the area. OK don't get excited it was just a single hand pump dispensing, actually pretty good, London Pride, the other hand pump being unutilised. Keg offering was Two Tribes Dream Pale Ale and Campfire Hazy IPA , Peroni, Cornish Orchards cider, Beavertown Neck Oil and Gamma Ray, Amstel, Guinness, Asahi and Lucky Saint.

Probably the most pubby venue of my initial NW10 sojourn, albeit a long way on the gastro end of the pub spectrum. There is some outside seating at the front and left-hand side of the venue. Inside it is almost fully bare boarded apart from a slither of a tile skirt with the bar counter on the right-hand side of the venue mid front part. There are some stools at the bar counter but not occupied by drinkers but largely by punters waiting to be served in a busy venue mid evening. The bar area at the front of the venue has some leather banquettes and sofas serving regular tables plus some stand-alone tables between the bar counter and the left-hand side. The lighting was pleasant and the art on the walls abstract. At the back of the venue was an area exclusively restricted to diners. Undoubtedly this is a classy venue, but it didn't quite hit the spot for me.

A hipsterish joint, as evidenced by the sign "Fondues tonight" by the door. All arty farty furnishings and decor with a kitchen counter at the far end and various signs flogging cocktails, with an appropriate soundtrack playing. It does at least have London Pride on handpump and a couple of craft brews from Two Tribes alongside the more usual keg stuff. I suppose if you are in the mood it is ok, and at least the staff were warm and friendly.
