The Bell & Crown

The Bell & Crown is located on the banks of the Thames in Chiswick West London. The nearest station is Kew Bridge, I got the train to Gunnersbury which has better connections. This riverside pub, licensed as the Bell & Crown by 1787, was acquired by Fuller, Smith & Turner in 1814 and rebuilt in 1907. The pub expanded into two adjoining shops in the 1980s, with the large conservatory extension added in 1984. There are two ways to enter the pub, you can either enter on the main Thames Road entrance or the Strand on the Green entrance by the river. Once inside, you’ll find a traditional one bar pub with a cosy atmospheric feel. The pub is divided into three sections, there is a good size main bar area which has a long servery, a bright and airy conservatory and a terrace overlooking the Thames. Along the path by the river are plenty of benches and chairs to watch the world go by. This Fullers pub has a good selection of familiar well known beers which included three cask ales. I decided on a pint of Amstel, my pint was excellent, price point was just above average. There is a classic pub grub menu available, Fish & Chips costs £19.50, roasts are available on a Sunday.
