The Old Hat Ealing

Ah, The Old Hat in Ealing – what a delightful little spot it is, tucked away in West Ealing and full of that classic pub charm. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere where the walls seem to whisper stories of good times past. The live music on weekends is an absolute treat, getting everyone up and about with some cracking tunes, and it's no surprise that the food gets such high praise – think mouthwatering Sunday roasts and burgers that hit the spot without costing a fortune. The beer garden is another highlight, especially on a sunny day, offering plenty of space to chat and unwind with friends over a well-poured Guinness. On the flip side, it's a shame the cask ale choices are a bit slim, and if you're hoping for a packed events calendar, you might find it quieter than expected midweek. Still, it's managed by a team who clearly know how to make folks feel welcome, and with such solid ratings, it's easy to overlook the minor niggles. All in all, if you're after a place for a relaxed catch-up or a fun evening, this one's worth a visit – I'd say pop in and see for yourself!
