The Village Inn in Ealing

Ah, The Village Inn – it's one of those neighbourhood gems in Ealing that just feels like a second home, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the place really shines with its hearty Sunday roasts and traditional British fare, which are full of flavour and make for a lovely catch-up with mates over a pint. The team there are so attentive and friendly, always adding to that warm, community spirit that's perfect for everything from casual drinks to watching the big games like the Women's Euros. It's affordable too, which is a win for us all. But, let's be straight, it's not all perfect – some folks have had a rough time with inconsistent food, like meals that turn out underwhelming or portions that don't quite stack up against the price tag. Still, with an overall solid rating, I'd say it's worth a go if you're in the area, just maybe keep expectations in check and go for their stronger dishes. All in all, it's a solid spot for a relaxed evening, as long as you're up for that mix of highs and the occasional miss.
