I was sort of confused when I saw that they had both Thai food as well as Traditional Pub food. I'm…read moretypically skeptical of restaurants that serve such different cuisines at the same time. That being said the food was great. But before the food, I have to say the vibes here are even better. I'm not sure if we just got lucky? but there was live music on the night we came and it was a great vibe. Food wise, my wife and I got their chicken satay, the fish and chips and the Basil chicken. And honestly everything was great. Fish and chips was fried perfectly and a HUGE portion. I was worried the thai food would be sort of subpar but the basil chicken was good too. The only note I had was that the satay was a little on the dryer side, but still tasted authentic.

Excellent well kept beers from Fuller's and their associated breweries, along with occasionally interesting guest ales. Food is good, with an ever-changing menu of top quality gastro-pubby food. It's not cheap, but it is very good. They also do roasts on Sunday, although they stop doing food at 5pm then, and 9pm the rest of the week. There's a nice beer garden out the back, a fairly darkened back area to the bar with tables and a front area near the bar with booths and tables. The walls are decorated with photos and posters of the various actors and films filmed over the road at Ealing Studios, including a Stage 6 plaque by the front door Best pub in Ealing.

There are a few picnic tables out front, but since they're right by the busy road I don't use them much. Inside, you'll find a marvellous pub, though. Nice surface, rails, windows and booths. There are some bench seats with stools. There's a great fireplace in the front room, too. The middle rooms are dark and cozy, with benches along the wall and chairs or stools on the other sides of the table. The back rooms have larger tables for groups (one in a dim area, one under a skylight), plus some two-seater cast-iron-foot tables. The entire pub, being right across the road from Ealing Studios, has framed pictures and posters from the Ealing comedy films throughout. Good for fans of The (original) Ladykillers. Out back is a really nice beer garden, renovated just a few years ago. Most tables are under a roofed area or under the immense retractable umbrella. It's a really nice vibe back there in the summer. People often bring their dogs back there. The typical Fullers Chiswick beers are here - London Pride and the rest - and there's usually a guest ale on. Food is top-notch, too, with huge portions. The menu is relatively small, but I've not been disappointed by anything. The sausage & mash or the burger is usually my fave. EDIT: 15-Mar-09. On Sunday nights, the Red Lion now serves Pieminister pies (http://www.pieminister.co.uk/) from 5-9:30pm. They're £8.95 and come with mash, gravy, and minty peas. If you've never had these pies, get in and try some. They are amazing.

The crust was light, crispy and the fish perfectly cooked. We tried it with the malt vinegar and it was so good. Their chips were a cross between French fries and the normally expected chips. Do early sleep open your eyes. The mango habanero chicken bites and olives balanced off the meal Our hotel had a small refrigerator and no way to heat up leftovers.

Like the previous comment, this place is fully of children (which doesn't bother me). It's also a dogs friendly pub (that's why it's so popular). We booked a table for 4, we got there on time and the table was available, no waiting. The waitress there was really friendly. She took our orders and the drinks came first. The food came after a good 45 min wait. We had high expectation. I had chicken and the rest had beef. They are very tender, lovely gravy as well. The only thing which I wasn't sure was the wait. While we were waiting for our food, they put a sign on our table and said the table was reserved (the people were coming in an hour time). It was like, the food wasn't here yet and they were expecting us to return the table in an hour. Why didn't give us the food quicker and we wouldn't feel the pressure... Anyway, it didn't give me the urge to go back anytime soon. But it's good to know where we can have a good Sunday roast.

This place is hilarious…read more Nestled in the surburban-y nowhere of South Ealing is this strange and wonderful place. I'd heard of West Five. It has an ambiguous reputation, meaning my imagination ran wild with the all kinds of grott and depravity it could be. This place blew my expectations. I imagined some tacky bar with large dancefloor and disco-balls galore. Some attempt to rival the Soho scene. Oh No. It's a pub. A really big pub. Traditional pub sign hanging high outside proudly coloured in rainbow. Inside, aside from the purple-pink neon bar it's your local. Good selection behind the bar and really reasonable prices. The staff are unpretentious and friendly. There's a real feeling of community here, everyone knowing everyone, instead of everyone sleeping with everyone. We went on a Friday, the evening started early with great entertainment. A wonderful gentleman playing you show tune classics on the stunning grand piano in one section of the bar. We moved from the dance classics to join him. He took requests and invited us up to sing. It was a wonderful atmosphere for friends catching up. Moving on from civilised sing song and chat we take up our space on the dancefloor and get ready for the head-liner. A fantastic caliber of drag act entertained us. Far from your dodgy man in a dress was this wonderful entertainer that warmed us up for an energetic night on the dancefloor. This pub is great for groups. Pool table, seating, different spaces for different crowds and a good atmosphere. It's not always very busy, even on this particular Friday it was no where near full, and it was quite clear they were mainly audience for the headline act. Don't get me wrong, it's still all kinds of camp, disco balls included and the ladies leave a lot to be desired but it's got a lot of soul. I wish this place was not in the arse crack of no where, but I suppose if it was, it wouldn't be the same.

Bingo nights, karaoke nights, quiz nights, DJ's, drag shows, a massive garden, a piano lounge, big dance floor, comfy sofas, yeah, everything you could wish for when you want a night out! Another reason for this being my favorite place is that the people who go there seems more relaxed than in central London. Less artificial and pretentious. There is also a big mix between girls and boys, women and men, straights and gays, in all ages! If you want a good and fun night out, or just somewhere to chill, this is your place!
