The George IV, Chiswick in Acton

Ah, The George IV – it's one of those pubs in West London that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered chatting about it with mates, it's got this welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for everything from a relaxed pint after a long day to catching some live music on the weekends, which always brings a brilliant buzz to the place. The beer selection is spot on, especially if you're partial to a well-poured Guinness, and the staff are genuinely lovely, always ready with a smile and a helping hand. They've got a solid food menu too, with dishes that hit the spot most of the time, and it's ace for hosting events or private dos. On the flip side, though, it's not all roses – a few people have mentioned the food arriving not quite hot enough, which is a shame when you're looking forward to a hearty meal. Still, with an overall rating hovering around excellent, it's clear this place does a lot right, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in Chiswick, just maybe keep an eye on that food service to avoid any disappointments. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good night out, balancing tradition with a bit of excitement.
