Goodness this is a small spoons about the size of a non-spoons pub. Named after the supremo of Ealing Studios, of course it has a display of stills from various Ealing films and not just the more famous comedies. Basically two longish rooms separated by a spine wall with openings, augmented by the outdoor covered area at the front. The right hand room is split level and furnished just with low tables and chairs. The left hand side is the drinking part with a counter along the left wall. Just seven hand pumps between two T-Bars, usual suspects on three with Wobbly Bob and Jaipur plus two less commonly found in ‘spoons; Titanic Plum Porter and Reedley Hallows Nook of Pendle, note the four guests are all over 4.9%.
Toilets upstairs.

A very small Spoons on one level located near to Ealing Broadway Station. Somehow the toilets still manage to be upstairs. OK just to tick the Spoons off but not much to recommend.

Named after the legendary film producer (The Ladykillers, The Lavender Hill Mob etc.). An odd Spoons, with a strange quasi-extension/awning covering/obscuring the entrance. Interior feels like a pub inside, small and tight with a few areas, powder puff blue as the colour of choice; the conversion was in 2008 but I think a makeover has happened since then. Four guests, my Maxim Slovenian was in good nick (NBSS 3). In a nod to the locale there's a bit of art featuring a hijab wearing lady. Absolutely rammed and I was lucky to grab the last spare table, which gives you an idea of its footfall. Quite nice and jolly and one of the empire's better efforts.
