Brook Green (Pub) in Hammersmith

Ah, Brook Green – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper gem in Hammersmith, you know? From what I've gathered chatting about it, the food really steals the show; people are going on about the massive Sunday roasts, tasty fish and chips, and that French toast that's just spot on for a weekend treat. The staff make it even better, with mentions of folks like George and Shoun being dead helpful and making everyone feel welcome, which is always a plus when you're out for a pint or a bite. The place has this cosy, old-school charm with its leather seats and wooden vibes, giving off that authentic London feel that's hard to beat, and it's conveniently placed near the tube, making it easy to pop in after a day around town. Plus, being family and dog-friendly, it's versatile for all sorts of get-togethers. On the flip side, it's not all roses – a couple of mates mentioned the beef in their roast coming out cold, and there was that fuss about the beer not being chilled properly, with the manager not quite sorting it out to everyone's satisfaction. Still, with a solid 4.6 rating overall, it's clear the good bits far outweigh the bad, so if you're after a relaxed spot for drinks and grub, I'd say give it a go and see for yourself – just keep an eye on those little details!
