Ah, The Owl & The Pussycat – what a little hidden gem in West Ealing! From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place really shines with its fantastic range of beers, all brewed right there, offering everything from light ales to rich, dark ones, and even some stellar ciders and perry. The staff are an absolute delight, always up for a chat and dishing out great advice on what to try, which adds to that cosy, welcoming feel. Prices are fair too, so you can enjoy a few without worrying about the wallet. On the flip side, though, some folks mention the beers can have a home-brew vibe, a bit yeasty at times, which might not hit the spot if you're used to smoother commercial options. And it's got this informal, kitchen-like setup with mismatched chairs, which is charming in its own way but could feel a touch rustic for those wanting a more traditional pub experience. All in all, if you're a beer enthusiast looking for a relaxed spot to unwind with mates, it's well worth a visit – just keep those opening hours in mind, as they wind down fairly early, especially on Sundays. I'd say it's a solid choice for a laid-back evening, balancing out the highs and lows nicely.
