A very inexpensive place to drink and eat in Ealing (well it's a Wetherspoons, so wouldn't expect it to be pricey). Service is always good, very mixed age groups seem to frequent the place whenever I go and over the years I've never had a negative experience there. The price is typical Wetherspoons fare but good value for what you get. There's no music here so this is one of the few pubs locally where you can actually have a conversation with your friends and not have a sore throat the next day from having had to shout across the table to be heard. Bar staff and door staff are always professional and friendly. The only negative it having the toilets upstairs which can be a pain for anyone who struggles to climb stairs but isn't disabled (I don't know if there is actually a disabled toilet there). Handy that there are quite a few tables to sit outside for most of the evening if you're a smoking and watch the world go by. Long may the Sir Michael Balcon remain in Ealing!
As far as I can tell, this pub fulfils on all three criteria:
1. Good wholesome fresh food prepared by an expert chef to your specification.
2. Friendly, efficient and attentive service, nothing is too much trouble.
3. Affordability, which means that one can go there on a regular basis and sample the many dishes on offer on the menu.
A good place to grab a meal or a drink if you are waiting for a night bus ride!
As a UWL student, this branch of Wetherspoons is my go-to place. Being a scotch lover, they always have a bottle of Johnnie Walker stashed at the back. You need to ask for it, then only do they serve it. Weird right?
Their pub food is quite good too and the happy hour means extremely cheap booze (well not exactly but it's pretty much the same as getting a free drink or half priced). You can double up your drink for cheap too.
The nicest thing is that even though we tend to get rowdy and noisy, they don't mind it.
They also have a lot of beer festivals, the recent one also served chocolate beer, which my friends quite liked (I absolutely hate beer).
It's a good and economical experience over all, to visit this place.
The best part: There are chicken shops around for the post drinking hunger and lots of buses that go to places, as well as the Ealing Broadway station.
