Disgraceful pub, rude staff, appauling manager, rank drinks and disgusting food. and thats me being nice. cant actually believe this pub is attached to a place that allows children. -100/10.

visited this pub last saturday, had the most disgusting, rude service from the poor excuse of a manager. So bad i actually left before even finishing my order. Anyone considering visiting this pub with or without children i suggest you steer WELL CLEAR. That is unless you want a pint of slop, shouted at when you ask kindly to change it and sworn at when youre leaving, carrying a 1 year old child.
Think i actually dodged a bullet by leaving and not eating there, as if they behave like that front of house, i cant even imagine what they behave like back of house, let alone the kitchen!
Suggestion: If youre nearby this pub and are hungry or thirsty, theres a BP garage not too far down the road, failing that, GO HUNGRY!

The new manager arrived at the beginning of December 2008 and already there is a huge difference. The hoardes of travellers are gone and any that are left know that it is unwise to misbehave as the new Manager, a female by the way, will not allow it. She has also segregated the pub/restaurant into a family area and an adult area so catering for all needs. Try it i promise you will see the difference

What a difference a new manager makes - wow

Hmmm. Had to stay here when working back in 2003 in nearby Greenford. Again, location problematic, as it's on the main A40 out of London and in an area which is probably not featured in 'Time Out' on too many occasions.
Limited selection of real ale, although copious quantity of different lager. I founf the service to be reasonable, if a little erratic depending on which shift manager was on.
Revisited the pub earlier this year, and hadn't changed a great deal. Menu is substantial but food is more quantity than quality. Given the absence of real alternatives, it would be worth visiting, particularly if you have small children. (there is a Child's play area attached to the pub) Otherwise, a far better dining experience at the 'Starvin Marvins' diner nearby. Not top of my list!

main problem is the fact that the pub and/or the car park always seem full of pikeys. the food is very good value and although the bar service is far from top notch it could be a lot worse. however i just cant enjoy a drink or meal when i constantly have to be gripping my handbag/phone or money to stop the pikey scum from nicking it. have driven in and straight out again on more than one occasion.

Being a local, I went in the Myllet Arms recently for a pint on the way to Duffys. It's the first time I'd been in there for years and I've got to say its as bad as ever if all you want is a couple of pints in pleasant surroundings.
Probably OK place to go for some cheap grub with the kids but not much else to recommend it.

Driving past this pub on the A40 it always intrigued me. It seemed to fit it's surroundings perfectly ie on the A40 and in Perivale. In many ways it seemed to me a nightmarish place in a nightmarish area. Choking fumes from the cars passing by, the bleak Perivale landscape, the 'Wacky Warehouse', the depressing 1930s architecture etc.
Well i gave it a go and it was just as bad as i'd thought it would be but...and here's the weird thing...I feel myself pulled back to it like a magnet. I've never felt that way about a pub before and that's why i'm going to give it a 10.

I love this pub. It has a nice atmosphere to it... I prefer the evenings to during the day as you don't have the screaming children running around. However, it's great for a nice day out. Kids love the Wacky Warehouse, the staff are friendly and get to know you. Great pub all round.

Totally agree with misty`s review. Went there for the first time recently and waited increduously as people who had sat down 25mins after we had ordered were served before us. When I asked if there was any chance we might get our food this week I got a shitty look, when it finally arrived there was no apology . Shame because the food was quite nice

The staff in this pub are so unbelievably rude, when there are 3 bar staff and you at the bar that all stare through you and it takes several 'Excuse me's' (on my part) and many many 'yeah wait a sec'on the staffs part and then maybe 20 minutes later you will be begrudingly served. The only okayish elements to this pub are the cheap food and the Wacky Warehouse and even these are vastly improved at the nearby Ballot Box where they are not shy about serving you and bringing hot food to your table.

Was good when they had a great big garden, now a htel, very garish inside and lacks atmosphere, still have good food deals sometimes.

As a playworker in the Wacky Warehouse, I would like to remind all parents that your children MUST be supervised by the adult accompanying them at all times. We are not there to look after your children whilst you eat and drink.

I agree, great for us adults to let the kids play in wacky while having some good food. Friendly staff too.

Great family and food venue, popular with business people with hotel next door and a Wacky warehouse.
