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 |  | | |  |

menu never changes but the pizzas are ok |
I'm sure they're alright, maybe 'down the spout' was a bit harsh. It used to be more akin to The Devonshire in Soho or The Pelican in Ladbroke Grove though, a proper food focussed pub. Still can't stand the service though - every time I go in there there's a queue at the bar while the staff are just standing chatting at the back. Also it lacks soft furnishings inside so can get very loud if it's busy with nothing to absorb the chatter. |  | | |

When she died Coren tweeted "When someone dies who has trolled you on Twitter, saying vile and hurtful things about you and your family, is it okay to be like, 'I’m sorry for the people who loved you, and any human death diminishes me, but can you f**k off on to hell now where you belong'?"
Her crime was to point out the nepotism that led to him getting the job at the Times. What she didn't point out is that rather than following his father's journalistic flourish he's ended up following his mother's, the anaesthetist. |  | | |

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 ! |
The Hawthorn has been advertised by Breakspears, which is one of my favourite ales, so I would expect so.
After the closure of the brewery in Henley it was brewed by Wychwood Brewery in Witney, but I don't know who now brews it. I think it is part of the Marstons chain, but I'm out of touch with which brewery owns what! | | | |

I used to go to Henley quite a bit to do a crawl of Brakspear pubs. I went off it when someone else started to brew it.
However, I was in Wangford a few years back and there was Breakspears Ordinary. I found it earthy and pleasant - a good lunchtime ale. |  | | |

We paid it a visit after the match on Saturday, thinking that most home supporters would turn left on the Uxbridge Road, coming off Loftus Road, before beginning their search for a pub.
We were rewarded for our initiative by getting a table straight away. I can recommend the Oxford Gold draught ale served there. It's hoppy and full of flavour. |  | | |

A place that sells a Scotch egg and ketchup as a bar snack for £9.

I thought you must be joking, but from the menu, saucisse grillee avec creme a salade d'Heinz.

Dearest pub has to be the Harwood Arms in Fulham.
Bottle of Barolo £400. Two course meal £65. Looks good though - river trout, sea bream, Berkshire fallow deer, Iberian pork etc.
Ps, the Andover in Aldensley rd runs it close, with oysers & lobster. 15 mins from LR. [Post edited 20 Oct 11:19]

TBF, it's the only pub in London with a Michelin star so you'd expect it to be pricey!
Tried The Hawthorn for dinner a couple of weeks ago while staying in The Bush. It was... fine. 6/10ish. |  | | |

I won't be able to go in there and not be reminded of the British Queen toilets.
Made the toilets in Trainspotting look like a 5 star hotel.
Oh they were the days......... | | | |

To be fair The Harwood isn't really a pub at all, it's a restaurant and quite a good one at that. Co-run by Brett Graham, the chef at The Ledbury. |  |

A gentleman from this parish and I popped into the Hawthorn after a game a few months ago. Ordered a couple of pints, took a sip and decided to walk out. The most dreadful beer I've had in years - either very badly kept or actually off. We weren't going to risk trying another and we won't be visiting that place again. |  | | |

Now I’m going home on the Central Line, Goldhawk Road is a bit out of my way. Master Sheen and I have been trying the Stewart Arms on the Holland Park side of the roundabout. It would have been considered old fashioned in the days of old money, but we love it. |  | | |

no, they don't
They went through a period of no kids allowed on the premises but that's been reversed under the current management. Its not a bad alternative close to the overground | |

I am noticing the same in lots of places tbf. My session beer of choice is usually Neck Oil and it's complete pot luck how the pint will be in the Crown. Sometimes very cloudy, sometimes very clear, sometimes with absolutely no fizz at all... Maybe it's just that brand but find the general quality to be hit and miss with draught in pubs atm |  |

That's a keg beer isn't it? There shouldn't be that kind of variation. Actually there shouldn't be that much variation in a cask beer, but that depends on how much care is being exercised in the cellar and keeping the lines clean. The whole point of keg is that it should deliver a consistent product. | |
