Tris C left this review about The Fishermans Arms

Situated just over the border in the rather non-descript Park Royal, Ealing, rather than Brent, is the Fishermans Arms, dating from 1928.
The interior would seem unchanged from previous reviews, with what appears to be an original though modest bar back, then some residual Art Nouveau leaded stained-glass lights. The floor is grey painted tiling, bare white painted brick to the dado, then scruffy patterned wallpaper (see photo), thereafter much in the way of untidy electrical wiring and ducting to the ceiling. There’s mixed lighting, including a UV insect zapper, crackling every time a fly hit it. The north room features a games machine and raised stage area for live events then a TV showing unwatched, silent Ozzie Rules football; the south/pool and darts room was where the few customers were at the time of my Sunday 8.30pm visit, watching a Portuguese – or Brazilian – football match, with characteristic Latino ‘GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!’ shrieked by the commentator every time a ball hit the back of the net. Furniture is conventional and like many of the pubs in NW10, customers were seemingly Portuguese (or Brazilian?).
There’s no cask, just a very basic keg array, a half of Guinness £3.90 (!), served by an inattentive barmaid.
This is a boring, mauled pub, with obscene prices but it’s not the worst in NW10, a particularly bad postcode for pubs, the Ace Café being the…ermm…ace up the area’s sleeve.

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.
