A good pub to meet your friends before a gig at the [[Hammersmith Apollo]]. ==== Drinks ==== Abbot Ale was �2.50, Strongbow �2.55. <small>[Prices as of July 2003]</small> ==== Food ==== It's just standard pub food. Nothing special. Soup of the day with butter and half a small baguette was £1.99, not homemade, and came with nasty dried herbs sprinkled on top. Main courses are all between £5 and £6 apart from the mixed grill. There's a vegetarian pasta dish, a vegetarian chilli and a veggie burger but that's about it for non-meat/fish. "Feed me" rather than "treat me".<small>[Prices as of January 2004]</small> ==== Layout ==== |

Despite the seemingly unpleasant surroundings this is quite a nice pub, and definitely convenient for the tube (Hammersmith station is 1 minute away — <i>I reckon you could get from your seat on the Tube to the bar within a minute and a half, given suitable lack of commuter density. We should test this.</i> --[[Kake]]). |
Despite the seemingly unpleasant surroudings this is quite a nice pub, and definately convenient for the tube (Hammersmith station is 1 minute away). There is outside seating away from the hoi-poloi of the shopping centre, although there is no real protection from the elements, unless you are seated close to the insubstantial decorative window shades on the pub's outside walls. The seating inside was uncrowded when we visited, but the music was quite loud. Service was good, but it was quiet at the time. The general decor is quiet but inoffensive, not bland but not in-your-face theme pub. Abbot Ale was �2.50, Strongbow �2.55. Also does food, but we did not try this. |

Service has varied the times we've been here - comments are "good, but it was quiet at the time", "listless", "very friendly and helpful". The general decor is quiet but inoffensive, not bland but not in-your-face theme pub. |
