About This Pub
Ah, The Old Pack Horse – it's one of those classic Chiswick pubs that blends a bit of history with a modern twist, and I've got to say, it's got plenty going for it if you're after a good night out. The Thai menu is what really stands out; think fresh, spicy curries and spring rolls that leave you satisfied, especially paired with their ever-changing craft beers. The staff are absolute gems too – friendly, chatty, and always up for a recommendation, which makes the place feel like a proper local hangout. It's spot on for groups, with loads of seating inside and a nice beer garden for when the weather's on your side, plus they often have quizzes or live music to keep things lively. But, and I say this as a mate would, it's not all perfect; some dishes can be a bit overly salty or sweet, and there have been times when service felt a touch hurried, like they're keen to turn the table quickly. Still, with an overall rating pushing 4.4, it's clear most folks have a great time, so if you're in the area, I'd pop in – just keep expectations realistic and maybe skip it if you're after something super fancy.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The Thai food is a real highlight – fresh, aromatic dishes like green curry and spring rolls that hit the spot, especially if you're after something with a bit of spice.
-
Friendly and knowledgeable staff who make you feel welcome, often letting you sample beers and chatting away, which adds to the cosy, community vibe.
-
Plenty of space for groups, with a lovely beer garden and a mix of traditional and modern decor that makes it perfect for a relaxed catch-up or enjoying live music and quizzes.
-
They've got a great selection of craft beers that change regularly, so there's always something new to try alongside the Fuller's classics.
Cons
-
Some dishes can be hit or miss with seasoning – a few folks mentioned curries being too salty or sweet, which might put you off if you're picky about flavours.
-
Service can feel a tad rushed at times, like when they bring the card reader over quickly, making it less relaxing for a leisurely meal.
-
Occasionally, the food quality dips, with reports of meals not looking or tasting as expected, which is a shame for what should be a solid pub grub experience.

Came for a nice Sunday dinner and the food came out looking like something I wouldn’t even feed my dog. Lady came over 2 minutes after the food with a card reader. Really disappointing, If you’re looking for a nice meal with friends go elsewhere.
UPDATE: Woke up early hours of the morning and not pleasantly. Sharp pains in my stomach and had to take the day off because I couldn’t drive. Wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. Health and safety need to investigate this place.
Great Thai food, great service, nice beer garden. Overall great experience. 👍
B and Mark were amazing. Very knowledgeable, kind and friendly. Let us sample the beers and overall pleasant to chat with. Would recommend if in the area. Great atmosphere and vibe. Can't wait to come back :) the best Fuller's pub we've been to in quite a while.
Nice setting and plenty of seating space.
Good for large groups.
Staff were attentive. Menu had a decent variety of options.
Ordered the red thai curry, tampura and spring rolls. Decent taste although the red curry was bit too sweet/salrlty for my liking.
Overall its a nice to try if you are in the area.
This is nice local pub serving thai food. I am a fan of green thai curry so I ordered it for lunch today. The curry is good size served with nice portions of rice. Curry itself was spicy (which I like) but a bit too salty ( I try not to eat too much salt). I chose vegetarian option which had good size of veggies in the bowl.
Overall tasty food and quick service. Great local place for lunch.
