Grand opulent building worthy of its NI acclaim, we tried both unconnected bars without having to go out and back in again courtesy of the friendly staff. The Thai food offer looked tempting alas only time to try the spring rolls off the bar snack menu.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rat - White Rat | 4.00 | | Hoppy and fruity with a floral aroma, superb |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Southern Star | 4.00 | | Dry, earthy with a hint of spicy hops |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | Not Tried | |

My friend really liked this good unspoilt pub. We had one pint in the public bar and the second one in the saloon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | |
| Elgood's - Cambridge Bitter | 3.80 | | A good session beer but uninspiring. |

Afternoon visit, I would have liked to stay longer but my friends were in a hurry to fit in another pub before the Owl and Pussycat opened at 4pm. Camra discount given here.

My first visit here, I was amazed at the size of the place and the fact that it has remained largely intact. I sat in the public bar on the East side of the building and listened to the other two customers discussing Hovis bread.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Chiswick | 3.50 | | I commented that £3.80 was rather expensive for Chiswick and was told that all the cask ales except ESB are priced at £3.80. |

The pub is found in Ealing, Greater London, W13 9EP.
In Leighton Road, a superb example of the type of pub built during the reign of King Edward VII, it is on CAMRA's National Inventory of heritage pubs and is Grade II listed. The pub consists of four bars (two public bars) a saloon bar, and another which is used primarily as a restaurant. It was tenanted to MC Bars until June 2023 when it became a managed house, undergoing redecoration and refurbishment in early 2024.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 18 different beers and tried 7 of them.
