New pub ( never to replace the C&S) The Hawthorn 08:54 - Jun 15 with 3792 viewsAndybrat

Giles Coren, Times food journalist, avid Rs fan and season ticket holder, did an article yesterday on Shepherds Bush and The Hawthorn pub on Uxbridge Road. Never been, booked it for lunch in a couple of weeks but he was raving about it.
Worth sharing and sorry I am a Times Reader.
Feels almost relevant as so close to the ground, apparently the kidneys are great

We still have the Coningham, Askew, Shepherd and Flock, and the white horse.

Any non poncy pubs in the Bush I've missed out?

You should see the pubs in Littlehampton town centre where I reside now. The Coningham is Michelin star quality compared to them on a Friday and Saturday night

Is this what’s replaced The Pocket Watch?


Yep, that's the one. Really good food. Improvement to the Pocket Watch, which was a bit of a soulless dump, never really got going

"The Hawthorn formerly known as The Pocket Watch or The British Queen set to reopen in May by Peter Creed & Tom Noest who have 5 other pubs in the Cotswolds"

Uxbridge Road of course being the Cotswolds of West London

I’ve been to one of their Cotswolds gaffs and the food was delicious.
This is an odd location for this though!
Pleased to see the pocket watch die a death though.

The Princess Vic used to be renowned for its food and did really well, so much so that Anthony Bourdain visited for his Parts Unknown in London. Also had an incredible wine list. Gone down the spout since and the service is horrific.

I'm going to renew my ST next week, so will try the Hawthorn. Anyone know if they've got ale ?
I'll report on the scran.
I always do a Bush pub crawl when I go over to renew. May be a bit too hot for much walking though.
That's OK, more drinking time !
