Pavilion, Shepherds Bush

This pub has been refurbished and is now a complete pile of sh*t. All the class and dingyness has been removed in favour of no soul and dreadful barstaff which cannot seem to handle drink and food orders at the same time. It's probably why you used to order from the kitchen seperately in the old Pav. I tried to keep a brave face but had to leave without so much as a sip of a pint when the queue began to resemble January Sales (through incompetence) and swearing and scowls became the norm. 40 minutes later two of my freinds did the same with their money refunded as their grub still hadn't arrived. I absolutely hate what has happened to one of my old favourite pubs. Married here? I wouldn't touch this gaff with yours...

Blandford fly is excellent (real gingery) and the benches outside get nice sunlight in the Summer. Shame their fridge never seems to work so you have to get them to put the beer in an ice bucket for a while.

This pub is fantastic. The fish and chips have taste and all the chefs are real fat, which is always a good sign. You can get a pint of bitter for �1.60 and they used to do a pub quiz with a �75 prize, and there's a beer garden.

I want to get married here...
