This is a Fuller’s pub with almost the full range on, but excluding Chiswick and including Gale’s Seafarers. The half of Seafarers that I had was OK and cost £1.60, so I suppose a pint would be £3.20. Not cheap, but my long-suffering wallet seems anaesthetised to this sort of price by now. The pub itself is very smart and clean, and reasonably comfortable. There are two or three high stools and tables in the front central window area, and a couple of sofas, but the rest of the furniture consists of normal tables and chairs. The mix doesn’t seem out of place here. There’s not much in the way of décor on the walls; a few black and photographs and that’s just about it. The pub goes back a fair bit on the right, and looks as if it might have been extended at some time, and there is a smaller room on the left with just a few tables and chairs. The ceiling sports some false beams; there is some exposed brickwork on pillars and walls; and the flooring is a mixture of russet tiling, and dark, slate coloured, stonework. I didn’t eat there, so I can’t comment on the food. There is a garden, but the weather would have to be a good bit nicer for me to venture out there! This is not the sort of pub that I usually go for, but for some reason I rather like this one. I suppose the modernist décor is not too overstated, and I do like Fuller’s ales. I would happily drop in for a pint or two if in the area again, and I’m sure that I could happily spend an evening in here if in the right company.
