Close to Brentford station and football ground this seems like a handy and possibly congenial local boozer, which also offers accommodation. Looks can deceive. It may be that match days or the 6pm commuter rush sees this place straining with a jolly crowd with the staff struggling to cope, but this seems very unlikely. We've dropped in at 10pm on a Wednesday night, and on a Friday night, and the busiest we've seen it there were just 2 sad souls at the bar. You could hear a pin drop. The landlady was friendly enough, offering samples of two cask ales, only one of which was drinkable and that only just. Taking a seat was out of the question - the tables were already set for breakfast. We assume the place keeps going by offering accommodation to those who find the charms of the nearby A4 irresistible. A local told us that we were lucky to find the place open - a point that really is open to debate.
