Roebuck, Chiswick

This is a beautiful place. I happened to visit because my friend used to go to school with the manageress. I was really impressed by the decor, the friendliness of the staff, the general quality of wine and food (ok so the chips and olives were all I had, but the Sunday Roast looked unbeatable!). This is one passionate couple about creating the perfect gastro experience, and I'm booking my birthday lunch here in October. I love discovering places like these, they make all the difference between an average Sunday pub in London and a really, really lovely one which you will have happy memories of and want to return for times to come. Could have something to do with being based in Chiswick...but it wins my vote.

Oh and one thing more, thank GOD the awful American self-obsessed monkey with that terrible laugh has disappeared...

Wow. Indeed what a turnaround.

A totally new, cleaned up (in terms of staff and decor), brighter, cheerier, more helpful and worthy gastropub. This is now a place I am PROUD to call my local watering hole! The Manager served my friend Dave and I on BH Monday, table service, smiles, professional attitude. A clean sweep.
