The Duke of York, Hanwell

And what on earth is the comment at the beginning of the reviews supposed to mean?

"please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously."

Of course the comments are by site visitors - how else would they get on there? But they are also by people who have visited the pub in question. There are so many bad reviews for this vile pub. We can't all be making it up.

The Duke of York, Hanwell

We went to this pub last night. It is looking even more dilapidated than ever, Filthy floors, fixed seating upholstery is dirty and ripped with the padding coming out. The ladies toilets were dingy and dirty with one light out. There was no toilet paper in either cubicle, unacceptable by any standards and especially so in a pub run by a woman.

Smokers standing around the door force customers to walk through a cigarette-end strewn pavement and a stinking miasma to get inside and once there, being accosted by falling-down drunks (at 6 in the evening) or having a regular's dog on a long leash run up and start sniffing through your shopping is not particualrly plesant either.

The landlady really needs to smarten up herself, her pub and her ideas. If you want to drink in this area, try the Fox or the Viaduct for a more pleasant experience.
