QYPE*

A good addition to Chiswick High Road - a pub with good food that hasn't gone the full gastro-pub route nor is part of a sterile chain. This location used to be my local for several years and i've seen many incarnations over the last decade - firstly it was a down & dirty boozer (which if i'm not mistaken was a roebuck too) then it was a Rat & Parrot, then it was a gay pub (the birdcage) and now its a gastropub. Its a great site as there's lots of room and a large beer garden to the rear. Serves a good range of ales & bitters including Fullers & Adnams. I didn't eat there, although I must say the bar snacks were awful. The chips were nice & chunky, but were partly cooked, dry and hard. But generally reviews have been good, so i'll give them the benefit. Staff were friendly and good humoured. I'd definitely return.
