Can't say it was ever my "favourite", but it looks as if the Ealing Park Tavern (formerly the Penny Flyer) in South Ealing may be reopening - certainly work going on the last couple of times I've passed.

Just a little update to this.

Last week they removed the pubs name etc. from the sides of the building but this week they have repainted the name along with 'Pub & Brewery'

It does look quite a bit like the Architects drawings found here:

Ealing Park Tavern | HUT

Currently on site, Ealing Park Tavern project is a multi-unit residential scheme on the site of a historic pub located opposite Claypond Gardens in Ealing. HUT took the project on at RIBA Stage 4, and worked up as full Technical Design package and are now working on a novated basis under D&B...

LB Hounslow had banned Strand on the Green pubs from having outside seating by the riverside. This has done a fair bit of movement on X today and it looks like they’re now backing down.

Officers should F R O and concentrate on the important things, wAnchors with small appendages. These people are paid by the contributions of the people living in the area, they have no idea of perspective.oh, someone’s enjoying themself, let’s put a ban in place. Bring back the stocks for these no marks who probably hide behind anonymity.

Am in the Red Lion & Pineapple in Acton. First time I've ever seen an away fan in the pub and they're from Germany...

Doing plenty of games, I do try to keep away from silly pint prices and stick to those charging around a fiver…

Walking down from Ealing Broadway, stopping at Shanakees, Roddys Bar before plotting up at Kew CC. (All still fairly priced and good boozers)

Can’t think of many pubs round the ground nowadays where you’d still get a pint for around the £5 mark, maybe Magpie & Crown, Beehive, New Inn?

Any others still offering pints around £5 mark?

Just buy a tin of Zubr from the Indian shop(£1.90) and sit in the sunshine by the Thames along Strand on the Green.

Went in Brentford's newest pub, The Dockside, post match. Been open four weeks. Not bad. Three ales on.

Finding that the prices in the ground are more and more competitive these days. Particularly with the reductions between 13:30 - 14:00. (Get 2 or 3 pints in.....). Even compared to Kew CC, who seem to have bumped there's up considerably in the last couple of seasons.
As for The Botanist and Coach & Horses, you're looking at it being about £3 per pint cheaper in the ground than in these places!!

Usually end up in The Globe but they’ve decided to be silly billys. 😀IMG_4254.jpeg

In that case, pay the going rate or stick to Spoons.
Click to expand...

That does not make sense to me.

I don’t think the going rate is automatically £6/£7 just because some pubs charge it, so I don’t have accept it as “the going rate” and can go somewhere like Shanakee or Kew CC where you can still get a pint for around a fiver.

Also a lot of the pubs near us do charge around £7 a pint but these are more gastro pubs, not your typical matchday pubs so they aren’t really comparable…

Cheers though…:sorted:

The Royal Horseguardsman seemed closed on Saturday. Scaffolding up, little sign of life.

Considering it's the only bit left standing out of the surrounding development, that's probably to do some structural works.

Might not be cheap but the Kings Arms IMO is reasonable on the wallet.

We occasionally drop in for a pint early pre-match. It’s got the feel of a real pub (as opposed to a warehouse with a bar) and has a garden, so makes a change.

Yeah, nice pub, beer's kept well. Normally Pride & a guest ale. Bees fans behind the bar. They've been waiting to get off to the game if they can, when I've been there .

If you like a pint of lager, the Stella there is as good as you’ll find anywhere 🍻 Very good Japanese and other Asian food too.

I'm up in TW8 early for Saturday's game and tonight went to the Griffin. Lovely as always. The Pride is now £6 a pint but they are re-running their 50p off a pint (any pint, not just Pride or other real ale) if you pay by cash promo for the game on Sat. I shall be back in then, if not before.

Went in The Stag 5-8 minute trot from South Acton station, nice pint of Stella was £5.60 :sorted: Proper locals boozer.

Then on to The Pilot, nice pub and outdoor seating but it was a sh*t pint of Amstel for £6.85, their other lager options ain't great imho - Asahi etc. Won't be making my pre-game shortlist.

Maybe it's changed in the 10 years+ when I used to go occasionally, but back then if anything, it was a "proper QPR locals boozer". Working class, too.

I got the impression that this was a throwback from the time when a lot of Acton Lane locals used to work along Acton Vale/Uxbridge Road when it had a lot of factories etc, all that being very much QPR territory?

(Was handy for a curtains-drawn, late lock-in at weekends, too (y))
