  “I organised a party here for 50 people and I absolutely have to highlight that the process was amazing from start to finish. Booking was simple, I was able to call up and amend/add to the booking by speaking to someone very easily, they had good advice and recommendations for numbers etc. On the night, the upstairs room was even more gorgeous than I remembered - very characterful, good sound system to plug into and the chairs and tables were great and easy to arrange to suit the occasion. The MOST important thing for me though was the ABSOLUTELY PERFECT service from the set up to the end of the night from every member of staff involved. Friendly, available, not overbearing, but present and so flexible in terms of when food would be served to additional drinks etc. All the guests also commented on how delicious the food was. I honestly am so delighted, the evening couldn’t have gone better and this is really thanks to the excellent staff at the Forester. Strongly recommend!”

  “The food is incredible- authentic Thai food. Then on Sunday they do a roast, which is unreal! 11/10 for all the food. The staff are super friendly (especially the waiters and cooks) and a beautiful pub on the inside and outside. Would recommend it to anyone.”

  “The bar staffs were unfriendly and one particular lady was in fact very rude. We went there for England-Norway World Cup game. While we appreciate it’s busy, the staff treated me so unfairly. Someone just cut in front of me and she didn’t even ask who cane first. I had to wait for 15 mins just to buy one bag of nut and one drink because the rude lady in front of me order 10 glasses of drinks. Then when it’s my turn, I told the bar staff (blonde/reddish hair, explaining so the manager can address this issue) I was actually there first. Instead of having empathy and say sorry like most staffs I’ve been served too in other places, she shook her head, rolled her eyes and blamed me for not shouting. Well, it was very loud and I did spoke up. She then throw the pack of cashew on the bar (like she couldn’t careless to serve) and the drink I ordered was spilled all over. You need to understand everyone is different and you can’t expect someone from different country or different background will be as loud as you. You don’t treat me with respect at all. This place is not inclusive especially for people who don’t like to shout at other people. I hope the management will be able to treat this matter seriously.”

  “Great way to finish my UK holiday with a pint of the classic Fullers ESB, £6.30 circa 280 THB- it was superb. A huge ornate multi room pub that shows the Premier league games with commentary. Enjoyed the Man U v Liverpool game to accompany my pint. Didn't eat but noticed the Sunday lunches coming out looked very good. Good service and friendly locals, an excellent pub”

  “Sizeable heritage pub in the leafy streets of West Ealing, with several distinct seating areas and bars inside. Huge garden too with covered areas for all eventualities. Serves Sunday carvery, with a Thai menu during the week. Fuller's beers complemented by a couple of craft choices.”

  “Great food, with really good pricing especially when in London! However drinks are on the slightly pricey side of things, a lovely old school pub with a high quality menu”

  “This review is for the Thai Kitchen only but wow their food is amazing! It’s the closest to authentic Thai food I’ve had since being in Thailand! I really recommend the duck pad see ewe and the pad Thai. However the starters were the stars of the show! Especially the wings and dumplings - just wow! The staff here were super lovely and actually gave us fantastic recommendations for food. I definitely recommend eating here”

  “Only went to the bar which I have to say had Fullers Vintage, Winter only - and not easily available anywhere. But really good. The pub was voted one of the prettiest pubs in London. It has two separate bars and a biggish garden/outside area (not that I sat there! ) It does good Thai food. And the place feels cosy even though the main bar is quite big. You can rent the smaller bar for events at a really reasonable price - which is what we did. The beer was well kept and the staff were knowledgeable about it - which is unusual in pubs these days.”

  “A great feast of a pub with an enormous, picturesque garden with plenty of cover (just in case). A small bar area, a large L-shaped bar area and a dining area. The full range of Fuller's beers both cask and keg. Thai specialities alongside traditional pub offerings during the week (inc. Sat) and Sunday roasts on the other day. Lovely staff and great service, in all a gem of a place. Well worth a visit!”
