The Northumberland Arms, Brentford

A nice little pub on the edge of town with 4 handpulls with 2 beers from Surrey Hills Brewery but no Shere Drop. I had a very nice pint of Greensands IPA also Ranmore Ale was on offer along with the regulalatory London Pride and Olde Trip. Would be a nice pub to spend an afternoon

Little to add to the two accurate reviews below. Also found a friendly and knowledgable welcome as soon as an interest in real ales was shown. Beers: Sharpe's Red Ale and Cornish Coaster, which was very drinkable, and Rebellion Mild. A cosy boozer with decent ale and worth dropping into if you're passing.

Maldenman's review gives a very accurate picture of the interior ,so nothing to add on that score.Four handpumps with London Pride always on ,the guests on our trip being Sharp's Cornish Coaster and Autumn Red while the Collaboration Porter hadnt yet dropped clear and was due later on the fourth handpump.The barman was very friendly and knowledgeable about his ale and care is taken in the cellar.A small interior with candles at each table giving a bar feel,I would pop back for a beer.

I really liked it in this very small pub as the barman and governor were very friendly. It did start to fill up before I left with people wanting to eat lunch, but I got the feeling that the serving of drinks was as important, if not more important, than the food, if not as lucrative. Pride, Bombardier, Gothic Dark, Twickenham Quadhop and Honeydew keg were all available from the bar alongside 3 premium lagers, Strongbow, Carling and Stella. I will go back soon as I loved the cartoon picture of Griffin Park almost as much as the pub.

A small L shaped single room, with the bar in the corner diagonally opposite the entrance. Wooden floor, banquette seating to one side, high tables with stools to the front of the bar and window seat drinking shelves, good for watching the world go by. There is an exposed brick chimney and fireplace adjacent to the bar. A plasma screen sits at high level in the rear corner, showing some kind of music channel at the time, mercifully with the volume low. There is a great painting/print on the side wall of a game in progress at nearby Griffin Park, titled "The Bees at Home". They are playing rivals Fulham, the away section has 5 fans and a panda..club mascot(?)..Ouch! Lots of events take place here it seems, Tuesday has an acoustic jam session night, bring your own instrument. The quiz night (Wednesday) has "stupid questions and pathetic prizes" Ha! Beers were, Pride, Downton Quadrillo, Twickenham Grandstand Bitter and Scattor Rock Quarryman. In addition there were Westons Country Perry and Trad Scrumpy. This place is a bit blokey and certainly lively but it is also friendly and welcoming. I liked it very much.
