Our local
There are more than enough pubs in Ealing to satisfy every taste, but this is a particular favourite of ours. It seems to attract a more mixed clientele than others near us, which tend to be either very young and studenty (most of the Ealing Broadway ones, in the evenings at least), or at the opposite extreme a bit “suburban” (the Rose & Crown).
Here you find plenty of room to spread out, a mix of higher seating and soft armchairs, good beer and wine, and above average pub food. TVs show football and other sports in some areas, but you can find space away from these if you prefer to chat rather than watch the game. Bar staff are friendly and efficient. For a quiet drink or a get together with a group of friends, you could do a lot worse!
