The Castlebar, West Ealing

Went here Friday night. Nice buzz, but spaciously laid out so didn't feel too packed even though there was a good crowd there. Staff were extremely friendly and I liked the food a lot--good quality and massive big portions. Try the pint of prawns--it's exactly what they say it is!! Also a good balance between traditional and some fancier nosh. I liked the fact that the inside is non-smoking. Even though I'm a social smoker, don't always like feeling as if I'm sitting inside a chimney. The patio is smoking and heated so you can always nip outside for a cig if you feel the need.

Haven't been here in the daytime yet. Would be curious to know what it's like then... Overall, cool place, good buzz, ideal place to meet up with yer mates, sink a few or get a decent meal at an OK price...
