History
The pub was originally a Fuller's pub with much character, including a bar with a tree in the middle of it. Sadly, Fuller's neglected this pub, and a series of bad managements allowed it to decline and eventually close.
Wetherspoons bought the pub, rebuilt it and opened in 1994.
Service and Ambience
This pub is termed "The Goldfish Bowl" by locals. This is owing to the 270° arc of windows facing the junction of the High Street (Uxbridge Road) and Gunnersbury Lane. Adding to the goldfish effect is the circular bar in the middle - the staff probably feel they are in a goldfish bowl too!
The staff are OK once you get to know them, but may appear lacking in the sense of humour department. They also suffer from the Wetherspoon eye contact problem - it's quite hard to get yourself noticed, standing at the bar.
This is a good place to go for peace and quiet. There's no football and no music.
Layout
- Circular bar - 'goldfish bowl' (see above).
