Still, I followed a…read morefriend's recommendation to come down for a jazz open mic on a Friday night and I almost missed it. Once inside you are in pub heaven with a traditional looking lounge at the front, you almost walk into the bands as you enter the pub but there's plenty of seating to enjoy the music from a safe distance too. You pass through another section before the place opens up to the main bar at the back. It has quite a continental feel to it, and I can't believe I didn't immediately spot the massive vats at the back - I was too busy admiring the statues on the bar. And it's difficult not to be tempted by the selection of beers when in a brewery and I didn't regret my choice of Achtung. They also serve food and while the main menu is limited to sausage rolls and pies you can also order pizza or sushi which is delivered directly to your table by local takeaways. I'll definitely be back, a real gem.

This is an awesome olde pub (there is even a list of landlords on the wall going back a couple of…read morehundred years) but with a modern microbrewery at the back. A winning combination! Their Early Doors IPA was always likely to be my favourite, but I also enjoyed Dark Matter, 2 O'clock Ordinary and their Weissbier called Achtung! Good brewery. We stayed long enough to warrant some food. The burgers looked delicious, but we decided to go for 3 snacks for a tenner. This meant we could both have a snack of our choice and also share some chips. I enjoyed the luxury fish fingers! (No Captain Birdseye here!)

One of my favorite pub experiences while visiting London…read more The man at the door helped us find a table in a very crowded first floor room. We learned early on in London that pubs have dining rooms upstairs which usually require a reservation and then the bottom floor is for drinks and meals picked up from the bar. This visit was about stopping in for a pint and grabbing a bite to eat. After acquainting ourselves with the bar menu we ordered food at the bar and were served fairly quickly. All three of us enjoyed our meals but what was memorable for me was I had the best fish and chips here. The versions I had afterwards were not as tasty. The first floor was hoping and lively and loud so if you're looking for quiet this isn't it. Was great for people watching and hearing other people's conversations. And man, those fish and chips were good. Wish I could have gone back for seconds.

Had all the decor and the low ceilings and it just looks very cool. The food on the other hand, that could use some work. 2/5 Fish sandwich - was ok but not the best.

My partner and my dishes were 19£ each, but as you can see from the pictures, the meal was worth the price. It's a "seat yourself, remember the table number and order food & drinks at the bar" type deal, not a sit-down, which is kind of what I would expect for a more upscale place, but I suppose that just makes it more casual yet still charming. I'd recommend eating in their outside garden area if weather permits, and going for an extremely refreshing lemon spritz!

We got a table right by the window as we were there quite early in the evening thanks to the jet lag. I got a Fuller's Frontier and the Wild mushroom & spinach gnocchi with sage. My colleague enjoyed the burger. The food was all you'd expect of pub food and more - creamy and rich, thoroughly comforting, with lots of flavor. The space itself feels cozy, despite it being more spacious than most pubs I've visited. It was decorated for Christmas, making it feel even more inviting. Service was attentive enough - took orders but then let us enjoy the evening. It was a team of servers, rather than just one, and all were friendly throughout the experience.

Was then greeted by a waitress who said hello and then a bit further on by the Manager who said hello and asked if she could help me and did I want to eat. That for me is an indication of good service which did indeed follow. A large and imposing Fullers pub set on the banks of the river on the Chiswick side of the Thames. Very traditional inside with carpets and lots of dark wood and traditional chairs etc. Great views over the river and a seating area outside also. A great place to take your parents, grand parents, family, friends etc for a relaxing and no fuss sort of a meal in a traditional London pub. Go for a leisurely stroll along the short towpath and then head back for a pint and some scoff. Good food, good service and everything is shipshape here on the banks of the Thames. Not flash or grand but honest and pleasing. There are three pubs along this stretch and this one is easily the best.
