I didn't realize that it was a Thai restaurant in the back of the pub, completely separate from the pub, until we got inside and walked around. I was hoping for more of a Thai food menu in the pub space. Don't get me wrong, the Thai restaurant is lovely, with dark calming walls and cozy atmosphere, delicious smells, and friendly service. Thai doesn't translate into American English and English English in quite the same way, so it did take a thorough reading of the menu to find some of the Thai dishes that I enjoy. In the end, I opted for the duck in red curry sauce, as duck is much more common in the UK than in the US. It was quite tasty - nice cook on the meat, great flavor of the sauce. I would've enjoyed more vegetables, but that's my own fault. Servers were quite friendly, even if it did take a while to get the check. They easily split the amount at our request. read more

The bartender here was fabulous. He was kind, made small talk with me that I could tell he was generally interested and happy with. The patrons were nice and friendly again another rare for the British. Overall I could tell it was a neighborhood place given the bartender knew half their names when they walked in. It was comfortable for a more informal laidback atmosphere. Definitely recommend for their brew selection with a sour of their own creation . read more

A traditional pub with Edwardian décor and fireplaces with a twist out the back. This fuller's pub has been a very traditional pub for many years and was frequented by proper Londoners with a small contingent of those that have moved to London and managed to infiltrate. A few years ago however things changed when they converted the rear of the pub into a Thai restaurant. This has since been copied many times in other pubs around London but I think that this was one of the first. With Thai people either managing this part of the operation, you get good authentique food with the option to have English and world dishes also. So there you go - English pub at the front - Thai out the back - Works well. read more

In Spanish there is a saying: 'Al Cesar lo del Cesar' which means that you have to attribute to something or someone what they posses or are really good at. Well, hopefully there is a similar saying in English. A traditional pub to me, should do what it does best, serve traditional English grub with a bit of European fusion. The Old Pack Horse, does this (not very well, I might add) and serves Thai food? And is not good at all. My noodles were soggy and tepid, generally I've had better food, Thai food that is. Inside, the pub is much bigger than what it looks like from outside. There are lots of corners were any couple can have a bit of intimacy, or a large bar were any local can have a pint and read the paper. In conclusion, good for beer and a chat, not so good for Thai food. read more

If you love beer this is your place! They serve a huge range of Fullers beers, both on tap and bottle. The Fullers brewery is just up the road so you get it fresh! :) It's open until 2am on weekends which is nice if your not that into clubbing but don't want to go home from the pub at 11. On Fridays they have a DJ playing and it can get rather loud, Saturdays it''s quiet (but busy!). They also serve food, Thai food... read more

I love them for various reasons - open late on weekends, good music, generous seating, access to Thai food. All of Chiswick -local and work crowd seem to concentrate their intent on being here on weekends! You are lucky if you can grab a seat. It's an Old world charm meets Gen Y sort of place. A big advantage of Old Pack Horse is that it is located on the High Road and is a minute away from the tube station and bus stop. The Thai restaurant is amazing and serves generous portions. read more

Friendly fullers pub on the main street in Chiswick. With a thai restaurant at the back on one side and a couple of televisions to follow the sport. I liked the beer, I always like Discovery, but what I didn't like was there seemed to a bin on wheels that was in everyone's way behind the bar. This kept being pushed and kicked around when they were serving the drinks, but I didn't see anyone wash their hands during this 'game'. That has got to be against a regulation somewhere, surelyI'm not generally a fussy person but there has to be some kind of cleaning product in between a bin and my pint glass! read more

Met friends here who suggested we have drinks in a "pub that does Thai food" - I was not expecting what I got! From the outside, it looks like what I'd call an "old man's pub" and the inside lives up to that - gentrified old fashioned vibe that is all the rage these days. What I didn't expect was to get really amazing Thai food which was very reasonably priced. I lived in Thailand for a time, so feel qualified to say that the food is authentically tasty! Really had a great evening here, not just the company and food - the house rose wine was delicious - I may have had a little too much of it, judging by my headache next day! Would definitely come back here again. read more

Lovely old pub at the Gunnersbury end of Chiskwick High Street. Popped in for the Liverpool Man United game and a Sunday Roast. Positives: 1.Great selection of Fuller's Ales- The Chiswick Bitter was a good traditional bitter but the "Discovery" Ale was a wonderful modern pale ale. 2. 3D Football on screen- Yes! 3D! First time I've seen it and I like it! Even though it was strange to watch football in a dark room surrounded by blokes wearing sunglasses! Negatives: 1. The roast was on the low side of average- no idea how you get roast beef to form grey rubbery discs like that! 2. The Jungle Curry was also pretty poor compared to other Thai restaurants nearby. In short, for beer and football the place is a king amongst pubs; on the food front- you'd need to be famished to enjoy it. read more

My boyfriend works very nearby and if I have a day off we always pop in for lunch. It's a little restaurant tucked away at the back of a good old English pub. It gets very busy but as most of the people eating there are from nearby offices in Chiswick the turnover of tables is pretty quick. Service is also quick, drinks usually come instantly and we're never waiting very long for our main courses. Staff are always friendly, and I think that the food is good value, main courses are about £6, which includes rice. The duck curry is my personal favourite, but all the curries have good flavour. They have 2 different menus, they have a lunch menu which has is quite small but has all the popular dishes, and an evening menu with more exotic dishes. read more

Living just a few streets away, this pub is really convenient when I feel like going out with my house mates not too far! The Thai is good with decent prices, but the service is not so quick (waited 25 minutes last time for my meal to be served)! A live band is playing live every Thursday night which is pretty cool! There is a warm atmosphere and you can easily meet new people in the small patio in the backyard! read more

The Thai food here competes easily with the Churchill Arms with quite a bit more space to move about. I had a squid pad phed and a prawn tom yum soup to start. They brought a chicken tom yum but readily replaced it. These things happen. As a Fullers pub, I'm quite happy with the feel of the place. Being a Saturday night, there was a lone performer doing covers with backing tracks which, as a performer myself, have to say were pretty good. It's a tough sell to sing to a drinking crowd on a weekend night. Comfortably Numb certainly survived. Anyway, I'm giving this place 4 stars, even though I'm not a huge fan of Thai cuisine. Or rather, in spite of that fact. Also partially, it's a strategic vote: I think this place deserves more than the 2.5 stars rating which almost prevented us from coming here. I'd be happy to have it as a local. read more

The Thai restaurant at the back here is pretty good. There is a good selection of dishes with some good vegetarian options. Sometimes when the place is busy (weekend evenings especially) the service can be a bit slow. There is often that irritating delay when you finish your meal and you are trying to pay but you can't catch anyones eye. At Other times it is a friendly local Thai reataurant that is reasonably priced and consistently good. read more

This gloomy East End pub (transplanted to leafy Chiswick) is just a front for a brilliant, cheap little Thai restaurant in the back. While the grumpy regulars sip their pints of ale out front, you can enjoy delicious soups and curries cooked to order (as all Thai food should be) and delivered to your table by the friendly staff. With interesting decor that definitely brightens the gloom of what is essentially a pub's back room, it is easy to see why this little enclave is so popular with the lunch crowd in Chiswick. Generous, delicious and cheap. read more

Nice restaurant offering Thai food which is delicious the meals are cheap and it has a nice setting, it is one of the better Thai restaurants in the chiswick area. The bar is a basic pub bar average priced drinks not heaps of atmosphere i would recommend it more for the food than to go there on a night out. read more

Just trying the Sunday lunch Heartily recommended Big plate and great flavours Not too busy either read more

Really bland Thai green chicken curry that gave me very heavy indigestion the next day. That heavy, greasy feeling. On collecting my take away, saw a diner arrive in fringe suede skirt and nude laboutins though, so very Chiswick. The cost is also very Chiswick. Nearly twenty quid for two mains and a rice. read more

100% wonderful. Thai food is best and most authentic I've ever had outside of thailand. Anyone who says it's bad is just not used to real authentic thai food. Great staff and the venue is light, spacious and airy - congenial to a truly relaxed and pleasant dining experience. Staff are also really pleasant. read more

Lovely thai food restaurant in back of pub, relaxed atmosphere, small outside courtyard , friendly staff, free newspapers, nice place to chill read more

I can't comment on the food as I've not eaten. As a pub, it does have a distinctly 'old man' feel to it, although it's not unpleasant. Just a bit dark and dingy, and not a lot of atmosphere. A decent selection of ales, but nothing special. read more

After spending 6 weeks traveling around Thailand, hands down this place is the closest you'll get to eating REAL authentic thai food! The lunch time menu is very cheap and the portions are very generous! The Green curry is AMAZING and the pad Thai is awesome! Visit here most lunchtimes as work is very local, if you're in the area then go give these guys a go I can guarantee that it's better than the other Thai restaurants in the area and you will not be disappointed! :) read more

Beer good, pleasant staff and thai food good but what really makes this pub is all the old Chiswick Empire memorabilia that they have got on the walls from the theatre that used to be next door till they knocked it down in the 1960's. Great if you love local history and makes it one of the more interesting places in Chiswick... read more
