The Union Chiswick, W4

One of two slightly cavernous modern bar / restaurant in the ground floor of one many shiny new office blocks in the Chiswick Park development. The benefit of full-height windows is largely counteracted by the dark modern furniture, floors and ceiling, and most of the tables are laid up for dining; both a bit off-putting (and the fairy-lights on the industrial ventilation pipes don't really help). On the plus side, the outside tables are on the right side of the plaza to catch the sun. Table football and two large screens. Regulation selection of keg offerings from the six taps on the two 'T'-bar founts, with two dummy handpumps in a very odd position in front of a pair of free-standing Heineken fonts. However, there are a couple of real pulls on the back wall at one end of the counter, dispensing Wimbledon SW19 Summer Ale and Watneys Pale Ale (£4.20).
