Myself and Rob visited this delightful gastro-pub on a Friday afternoon. The place was pretty much empty, and certainly no one else was eating. We were obviously after any lunchtime rush but before people finished work, and maybe this contributed to the exceptionally personal service we enjoyed.

The pub is classically decorated and if you can find a good seat in the main bar area I imagine it is a very nice place to relax. The main dining area is vast, and there is a small courtyard area outside.

We ordered off a set menu, enjoyed the complimentary bread, and while I cannot remember the exact main meals we ordered the creme brulee for dessert was exceptional. (I hope to add more details about later pubs and places soon, when they are fresher in my mind). We enjoyed some interesting wine, then a pint with the jovial barman, and then went on our way.

I'll certainly visit this pub again - after all it is easier to produce good food and friendly service when no one else is there! - and while there would be little of intrigue for the drinkers out there the food was good.

A 10-15 walk from Shepherds Bush station the pub is a little away from the main scene, so much so you may wonder if you have walked past it, but it is certainly worth a little trek.
