    Located a short walk from the River Thames, this small pub has a cosy feel to it and is very much a foodie pub with a small but loyal fan base thereafter. Being tucked away on a quiet back street it doesn't get mad busy and is therefore an ideal place to go for lunch after a leisurely walk in Old deer park or along the river. Food is light / sandwiches during the week with a more hardcore evening menu and a big effort goes into Sunday lunches. Small and like your favourite local type pub with roaring fires and the odd dog or so that has had it's weekly walk and is now sat by the fire making a doggy sort of smell. If you know what I mean then you can deal with it, if you don't you should maybe go to All bar one instead. Small garden out the back which to be honest is not why you would go here, there are much better in Richmond. All o.k. here, ideal for the rambles and dog lovers or someone needing a quite local sort of a pub with a good Sunday lunch.

    Fish and chips was massive

    Fish and chips was huge and very well made. I regretted that there was no vinegar and the tartare sauce was not great. Treacle tart was rich and delicious, the accompanying ice cream even better. We sat in the outdoor space - so pleasant! Lack of parking.

    My excellent starter: Chicken liver parfait served with toast & red onion chutney

    I love this place. The waitresses are friendly and funny, the music is cool, the beers are good,…read morethe place is lovely and authentic. The burger, served with chips is OK. The chicken or lamb curry, served with rice, are delicious. The vegetarian lasagna as well as moussaka are amazing too. All are 8,75 GBP. I definitely recommend the fox!

    I'd give The Fox a 3.5 star. I've heard a lot of recommendation regarding this pub (especially the…read moreSunday roasts). Finally got a chance to try (best to book in advance). Like the previous comment, this place is fully of children (which doesn't bother me). It's also a dogs friendly pub (that's why it's so popular). We booked a table for 4, we got there on time and the table was available, no waiting. The waitress there was really friendly. She took our orders and the drinks came first. The food came after a good 45 min wait. We had high expectation. I had chicken and the rest had beef. They are very tender, lovely gravy as well. The only thing which I wasn't sure was the wait. While we were waiting for our food, they put a sign on our table and said the table was reserved (the people were coming in an hour time). It was like, the food wasn't here yet and they were expecting us to return the table in an hour. Why didn't give us the food quicker and we wouldn't feel the pressure... Anyway, it didn't give me the urge to go back anytime soon. But it's good to know where we can have a good Sunday roast.

    This place is hilarious…read more Nestled in the surburban-y nowhere of South Ealing is this strange and wonderful place. I'd heard of West Five. It has an ambiguous reputation, meaning my imagination ran wild with the all kinds of grott and depravity it could be. This place blew my expectations. I imagined some tacky bar with large dancefloor and disco-balls galore. Some attempt to rival the Soho scene. Oh No. It's a pub. A really big pub. Traditional pub sign hanging high outside proudly coloured in rainbow. Inside, aside from the purple-pink neon bar it's your local. Good selection behind the bar and really reasonable prices. The staff are unpretentious and friendly. There's a real feeling of community here, everyone knowing everyone, instead of everyone sleeping with everyone. We went on a Friday, the evening started early with great entertainment. A wonderful gentleman playing you show tune classics on the stunning grand piano in one section of the bar. We moved from the dance classics to join him. He took requests and invited us up to sing. It was a wonderful atmosphere for friends catching up. Moving on from civilised sing song and chat we take up our space on the dancefloor and get ready for the head-liner. A fantastic caliber of drag act entertained us. Far from your dodgy man in a dress was this wonderful entertainer that warmed us up for an energetic night on the dancefloor. This pub is great for groups. Pool table, seating, different spaces for different crowds and a good atmosphere. It's not always very busy, even on this particular Friday it was no where near full, and it was quite clear they were mainly audience for the headline act. Don't get me wrong, it's still all kinds of camp, disco balls included and the ladies leave a lot to be desired but it's got a lot of soul. I wish this place was not in the arse crack of no where, but I suppose if it was, it wouldn't be the same.

    This is my favorite gay venue in the whole of London!…read more The place is just great, it's big, got friendly staff and something for everyone. Bingo nights, karaoke nights, quiz nights, DJ's, drag shows, a massive garden, a piano lounge, big dance floor, comfy sofas, yeah, everything you could wish for when you want a night out! Another reason for this being my favorite place is that the people who go there seems more relaxed than in central London. Less artificial and pretentious. There is also a big mix between girls and boys, women and men, straights and gays, in all ages! If you want a good and fun night out, or just somewhere to chill, this is your place!
