The Shepherd & Flock in Hammersmith

Ah, The Shepherd & Flock – it's one of those unpretentious gems in West London that just feels like a proper old-school boozer, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews and vibes, it's all about that top-notch Guinness and a welcoming crowd that makes you feel right at home, especially if you're popping in before a footie match or a concert nearby. The staff seem genuinely lovely, keeping things running smoothly even when it's buzzing, and the prices are a breath of fresh air in pricey London. On the flip side, it's a tad compact, so you might end up standing or squeezing in, and it's not exactly the prettiest place – more focused on character than fancy frills. If you're after a wide range of beers, it might not hit the mark, but for an honest, affordable pint and some good-natured banter, it's spot on. All in all, I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area; it's got that heartwarming local charm that keeps people coming back.
