No cask here. Basic keg offering of Fosters, K1664, Guinness, original and dark fruits SB and my choice, as the last reviewer's choice, the Sagres Portuguese lager.
The venue is indeed quite imposing but inside and as a pub must be a shadow of its former self. There is a small unappealing covered seating area on the left-hand edge of the venue. The venue is essentially L shaped with the front having the bar counter opposite the entrance in a fully floor tiled interior. The bar counter has some stools, but I perched myself for my half of Sagres opposite the bar counter. To the left is a small games room essentially hosting a pool table and some fruit machines and the curved end of the bar counter with no additional beer taps and with some fitted fabric banquettes around the two exterior walls. The other leg of the L shape had regular tables and chairs, a single dark brown leather sofa in the far corner and a small stage in the front window with a projector screen in the window. A large corner TV was showing a footy chat show. All told this place felt like a rather gloomy affair and there is negligible chance I will ever pay a return visit.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Fishermans Arms
Substantial 1928 pub close by the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal (but not adjacent thereto). Three-part interior with a pool table in front of the traditional central bar, a light dining room at the south end and gloomier events space with a compact stage in one of the bay windows at the other. No real ale, and indeed nothing but lager or Guinness on the limited number of keg taps, so tried an overpriced Sagres (£6.20) as the least usual option.

This is a three room pub, although all three rooms are inter-connected. You enter into the centre room, where the bar counter’s located. This room has just three sofas in it, along with a large low table, in front of the window. The room on the left is a dining room; and the room on the right is something of a sports room, as it contains a table football game, and a pool tables, plus some tall stools at ledges round the sides. Thus there is no traditional seating for someone just wanting a drink.
The bar counter flatters to deceive. The magnificent brass based handpump is for decoration only; even the bog standard lager taps on the T bar aren’t all in operation, with just Guinness, Fosters, Strongbow and Sagres (£2.20 a half) available. There is a chalkboard menu above the bar counter (I guess a more flash version would be available if you elect to eat in the dining room) with burger and chips (£8) and fish, chips and mushy peas at £10.
The Portuguese influence didn’t end with the Sagres. The TV in the main bar was tuned to a Portuguese channel, and the barmaid, a bloke who seemed to be at home behind the bar, and a customer all conversed in Portuguese.
From the outside this looks like the real deal – i.e. a real pub – but in fact it’s really a Portuguese bar/restaurant.
