I was here for the wake of a good friend who used to use this pub as his local. Lots of real ales consumed today.

Crowded in the mid-evening, with the only seating opportunity being a shared table at the far end of the garden. I don’t think I’ve been in here since I ‘did’ the Fullers Passport scheme more than ten years ago.

Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Oliver's Island3.80GoodI enjoyed this distinctly different tasting beer. Golden with great citrusy hop tastes but also very obviously a Fuller’s beer with loads of biscuit malt flavours.

A group of us were touring the better pubs on the number 65 bus route. This was a quiet retreat from nearby Ealing Broadway with a few regulars enjoying a pint whilst reading the daily newspaper.
