The New Inn, W5

This place dates from the early 19th century but was rebuilt in 1897; the name of the Isleworth Brewery can be seen to the right-hand gable. The interior is spacious, with a very large extension built onto the rear. It has been modernised, but not savagely so, with a ‘tour’ available on the pub’s website; unfortunately, it doesn’t paint a very flattering picture of a typical modern gastropub interior, but it’s not so vulgar when viewed in the flesh; that or it has been toned down. The colour scheme is a combination of deep purple, patterned wallpaper, white ceiling with a little bare brick. Furniture is trendy, décor comprises shelved books and framed prints; one item of note is the embossed cornice to the mid-section. As the Young’s pub surrounded by a pincer movement by three other Fuller’s pubs, the ale front was predictable, my Proper Job on great form, but at a barely credible £3.05 a half, a lot more than you’d pay in far more affluent locations in central London. This is a reasonable pub, though unlike the other three has been unnecessarily made over, which probably explains why it was the least busy of the four, students conspicuous by their absence; perhaps they can’t afford to drink here.
