West Beers : Every Thursday @ The Lamb Brewery, W4 4PH

4-6am would be more like it.
thats the spirit

^^it's in Richmond ffs
BUTTT!!!!!!! you can drink double size pints there !!!!! and eat bratwurst !!!!!!

I'm out tonight still recovering from epic fish based food poisoning by MOC

Hmm there is much gut unhappiness going around- maybe not MOC fault??

Today I went to the Coach and Horses on Kew Green. It has just had a massive refurb. Food was great, and fantastic service. They have a beer garden out back and there is a car park under the pub. They would even let us use the car park.

I am biased due to the location but it seems to meet most of our requirements.

And to top it all off, I discovered Ray "Rowley Birken" there, he now lives down by the Thames.

As long as the drinks don't cost "eight thighsand pinds" you'll all be fine.

Coach and Horses sounds great, but it's really far (and south of the river!)
I always think that it's worth doing some extra miles to get to the nice pub but i'm not sure if everyone else thinks the same.

No more south than The Raven to be honest, just further west.

Would be happy to go the extra miles west if it's as good as James said it is.

It'd be the furthest forum beers from central london.
(star on a map for every beers - ignore the one next to old street)

It'd be better not to move further west from Raven and ideally find something closer to central london.

I'm gonna be in Fulham soon, will have a scout around to see if there's anything good.

Check google first, Ed.

thats fair enough, it's only a 10 minute ride from the raven though.

Sound about right that.

^^^ I know it's only 10min from Raven.
I'm sure that for those of us that regularly attend wests it wouldn't make any difference.
It'd be nice to get more people coming to wests though.
If we'd have beers somewhere around notting hill/kensington i'm sure we'd get more busy.
Easts become busier since they moved to Jolly Butchers which is very close to central london.

are we banned from here?

what about the crown and anchor on chiswick high road? i remember we went there once, maybe on a wednesday for food, but i remember there being great deals on tasty food with decent bike parking.

burger monday...............................

Just popped round to the Garden Bar, W10 - looks and sounds promising.

They already serve groups of cyclists who've been to the Westway sports centre so aren't phased. They have ample space in the back for our bikes (plus CCTV and locked front entrance). For a regular attendance (6-10) we can just turn up and have a table set aside - any more of us they'd prefer notice.

Plus they serve Hoegaarden, as well as Leffe blonde, Guinness, a few premium lagers and a couple of locally brewed bitters. Open kitchen with menu pricing we know and love. Happy to give it a try - only problem is I can walk there, no need to cycle.

Up for a rare wests visit tomorrow, working near... I'll check the thread for a location at 6 tomorrow. Will be nice to see you westie kids.

Weather is looking a bit shite. Might still swing by for a swift one.

wierd, you posted just when I did.

Swing by where?!
