The Cricketers on the green...a stone's throw from Ealing
OK this one is a bit of a cheat...we went to Kew!! It's so close though, we thought you might like to hear about it :o)
It was a cold and rainy night, and the cosy pub was warm and inviting (Lou even stood by the open fire for a few minutes upon arrival). The terrace outside, overlooking Kew Green will be a great spot for a Pimms or cool beer in the summer. A typically modern re-furbed pub with shabby chic interior and pretty patterned tiles on the floor, it was nice enough to spend the evening in.
The waitress we well-informed as we inquired about things on the menu. However it was 8pm and about three dishes weren't available from the menu (due to the busy day?). We shared the hot Camembert between the four of us for starters then moved on to devour some burgers, pasta dish and a steak.
The tagliatelle with chorizo and pork was nicely spiced and generous with its meat...it was however a little sweet. The burgers came with huge onion rings and giant good-quality pub chips. It seems to be the trend at the moment to have burgers with additional fillings such as 'pulled pork' or 'mac and cheese' as Pete tried earlier in the year at the North Star...on top of the usual beef burger! Generally good pub food at standard prices for a pub of this type.
In sum, a pretty, warm, good pub eat.

We didn't try puddings, but spent the evening chatting away at our private table tucked away in the corner. When we were ready to go we wondered if we had been forgotten, and a quick peek around the corner revealed that the rest of the pub was almost empty. We paid at the bar and left just before close.
