The Sir Michael Balcon in Ealing

Ah, The Sir Michael Balcon, it's one of those trusty Wetherspoons pubs that you can always rely on for a good time without emptying your wallet. I really appreciate how they keep the prices low on drinks and meals, making it ideal for a casual evening with mates where you can chat over a cheap pint and some filling food that doesn't disappoint. The location's spot on, just a quick walk from Ealing Broadway, and it's always clean, which adds to the relaxed vibe. On the brighter side, they've got outdoor seating for those nicer days, and it's great to see them still serving up options like steak or a hearty breakfast late into the evening. But, let's be honest, it does get packed to the gills sometimes, and you might find the staff a bit overwhelmed, leading to waits or meals that aren't quite as hot as you'd hope. Still, overall, it's a solid choice for anyone after an unpretentious night out – just go in with realistic expectations and you'll likely have a cracking time.
