Packhorse & Talbot in Hounslow

Wonderful, spacious and comfy place. Good food.

ONLY DRINKS, DO NOT COME FOR FOOD. Seriously lovely pub, great atmosphere and love it when a games on. The food however is not worth the price at all. There's soo many other great places on the high street to choose from, and even though it's not soo pricey it's still not worth it. Other reviews have also mentioned the bar staff and I agree they're not the friendliest bunch. They won't really go out of their way to have a small chat or help you out. I don't really mind this but I can see why people would have that perception.

Lovely welcome, comfortable and very dog friendly. Great pint of Galicia

Very friendly atmosphere, Sophie was excellent and kept the drinks flowing!!!

Was a great experience, lovely atmosphere and had great service from Sophie who was extremely friendly!

Friendly and efficient staff and clean drinking hole overall.

Clean, the servers are friendly. Good atmosphere during the matches!

Great place to relax and unwind

Nice place to watch games. Food pretty average though.

Foods okay. The atmosphere is good, but sadly, the staff just seem so grumpy even when it's not busy. Would be a regular if it was a bit more cheery from the bar staff.

The flat iron steak had a funny taste… left it

Great pub with nice food and friendly staff.

Hide bar and live music in a Friday night

£9 for a cordial mix pretending to be a cocktail

Popped in to unwind on a Friday afternoon after a tough week. Got a pint and portion of chips and found a table not too far from the bar. Waiter brought the chips (moody chap) took it to the wrong table to start with, no napkins or cutlery so had to go up to the bar to ask. Had few chips left and a third of a pint and needed the bathroom so started walking towards the back, few metres to the bar and I turn back to check if my pint/chips will be ok there and BAM! table was cleared in a space of a few seconds. Just about caught view of the back the same waiter taking the plate/pint away. It wasn't even that busy at around 5:45pm. As I was alone, first time in the pub so I really didn't want to leave my jacket or things there so not sure how else I would go to the bathroom as a solo visitor. Won't be coming back for sure. Was left very disappointed.

Great selection of beers and still friendly near the end of the evening

Terrible food. Burger advertised as with “onion rings” came with literally two onion rings, unsure if this was some sort of off season April fools joke. Cold steak - same price as a steak in an actual good pub, and microwaved soggy dumplings. Avoid like the plague unless you’re in here for a drink, but even then the prices would steer you off.

Great for live sports (football) and after work tipples. Highly recommend the sweet potato fries. Amber nectar is always cold and fresh.

Great for a matchday, brilliant beer selection and plenty of space and TVs for watching the game.

Good food and atmos, staff excellent but...to anyone who goes to a pub to experience the beer, the Green King IPA is as good as I've ever tried.

Very nice, friendly, happy atmosphere, the landlord and the staff are lovely people. I didn't eat there but the food looked great and I didn't hear any complaints. Good pub to watch sporting events as the televisions are well placed throughout. I was very impressed

Came in with friends for a meal and drinks, food was great and our sever Evie was amazing !! she was so attentive and made us feel very welcome, will definitely be returning again !

evie was wonderful to us!! it was the first time we came and she definitely made our experience at this pub allot better! shout out to the other guy too!! but evie. outstanding customer service! promote her. no joke. thats all 🙂‍↔️

Food was very nice and a pint of Estrella.

I was fortunate enough to watch the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 against 🇨🇭 football match in this pub. It was quite fun. Staff are super friendly and what an amazing atmosphere!

Came in for a specific Sandwhich I had last summer, it was prosciutto, Brie, tomatoes and rocket. I remember it being absolutely incredible. I came in to unfortunately find menu has changed which is totally understandable. I had the BLT but unfortunately chicken was dry and it wasn’t up to standard. Please bring back the sandwiches from last years menu as they were absolutely delicious!! The quality was amazing. Lovely service as usual and atmosphere was great!

Popped in for a quick drink before heading to the cinema so can't comment on the food. Atmosphere was good, with plenty of buzz from the patrons, but the service was relaxed to say the least, maybe the bar staff were pacing themselves in case it got really busy later, or maybe they were just slow. Either way we would have had a second round, but we realised they were taking so long we'd have to down our drinks.

Such a lovely pub. Scott in particular really made it a special outing. Was extremely kind and attentive with his service!

Fantastic sports pub with loads of space for gatherings and families. Great selection of beers on tap and the food is pretty good too. Request to the team- please include more vegan options in the menu.

Real pub atmosphere with good food

Great pub with lovely outside seating area

Great selection of drinks and the Aussie Manager have us some great recommendations Will definitely be back

Good pub with good food, however the service is quite mixed. The bloke with the beard is atrocious, all the young ladies do a great job.

Visited today and had a lovely meal, staff were all very great especially Sophie, she was very welcoming! Looking forward to visiting again

Nice little pub, great live sport and friendly service. The food was decent, but the steak sandwich could have had much more meat in (4 tiny slices) - we still have a long way to go to emulate our Atlantic cousins on meat portions. This was not the best value for money on that side of things, but no real complaints.

Don't know what you would have to do to get a smile from the bar staff. Feels like they would prefer to have a nice empty place free of customers. Real ale is not too bad.

It's hit or miss regarding staff in this pub.The new manager is great, really does do his best,however there's a couple of bar staff who are totally miserable, doesn't matter how hard one tries they just do not engage,why do a customer facing job if you clearly don't enjoy it ?

Busy and dirty tables. Plates not taken from tables. Also prices have increased recently.

Great pub! We brought the puppy with us one Sunday off of a recommendation from a friend, we weren't disappointed. The pubs was busy with football fans (which was great for me) but (calm and relaxed enough for my partner). We had a great time! The staff were friendly and efficient, the food was great and we'll definitely add this to the list for a re-visit!

Absolutely awesome pub! Great staff and great service will definitely recommend!!

Love this place, staff really friendly, just a really enjoyable day out

perfect atmosphere for afternoon drinks in summer!

This is lovely local pub. One of those places a single female can happily sit, have a drink, read a book and feel comfortable. (Bit noisy on football nights but I pick my time). Staff are really nice, remember you, chat. Current manager is great has made the place pretty with lights and garden heaters etc. One complaint, Greene King have recently put up prices excessively. Small 200ml bottle Prosecco now up from 4.98 to 5.50 and now 6.99!!! I know they have to cover costs and make a profit but I can get 4 of these bottles for 7.50 (in supermarket) and I don't have the buying power of Greene King. Yes this pub is one of the cheapest in Chiswick but come on Greene King that massive hike on those little bottles in space of few months isn’t a good look!

Lovely pub and great place to hangout!

Great little pub with a good selection of drinks and beer garden!

Nice pub with great drinks selection! Aussie guy behind the bar was very friendly. Will defo come back!

Great pub on every account, well run, quality service, good choice of beers, local and international, and food is fantastic. Aussie manager was friendly and recommended some amazing dishes. Will definitely return.

Great place to watch sport with good beer and food. Will be back.

Went for dinner and a few drinks with a friend and as usual the staff are very friendly. Always has the drinks I want in stock and the fish and chips is a classic dish which always tastes great. Thank you team packhorse!

Great Pub in the heart of Chiswick. Nice dishes and a quiet terrace. A little noisy inside but due to a group.

First time back in Chiswick in two years. Missed this place, chilled out pub with great service. Kai is a great host, always reliable and friendly.

Kai provided excellent service at Packhorse, being attentive, courteous, and accommodating. Highly recommend for a wonderful dining experience!

Lovely pub, even better staff. Kai was very helpful and chatted with me and my mates. Would definitely come back, great pub

Visited today for lunch and food was lovely. I was served by Sophie who was very helpful and welcoming! Looking forward to visiting again!!

Bit early for atmosphere but excellent food and service 👌

Absolutely lovely pub, I would definitely recommend. My dog barked at the manager, but he kindly brought treats and water for my dog after so she liked him after that 😂. He was an animal lover with a really cute dog. That's all I need to know. 5/5. Oh, the staff was incredible, chicken wings phenomenal and whisky is pretty decent too 🙂 get yourself in there 👌🏽

Lovely staff great service fantastic food 👌 & great beer and drink

Didn't have any food. Service was good. Just had a few beers before moving on to a restaurant.

Scott from Scotland was so friendly and helpful and served us lovely food and refreshments. Highly recommend this cool pub with great atmosphere.

Been there a couple times now, pretty decent place. Had the katsu burger and was very nice, good selection of beers, and amazing staff!

I came in with my friend for a few drinks, the pub has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. One staff member in particular Genie was attentive making sure we were ok and was very sweet with my dog who absolutely loved her! Definitely going to be coming here more often.

Very nice Pub. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. In general it was tidy and clean.

What a lovely change in this pub today. all staff happy and glad to assist us. bright and airy, great again to visit! outstanding❤️❤️❤️❤️ ❤️;)

Popped in for lunch instead of grabbing a sandwich as usual. I opted for mac and cheese, which came with a salad. It was good to have something hot to eat and was just right for an end of the week treat.

Tasty food and helpful staff. Good for sports too

Great find after the market and the Sunday roasts on Mother’s Day was absolutely delicious. Greeted by a fun bubbly team with sport on the other side of restaurant. Living in this area we will definitely be back more often!

Brilliant place for food and drinks

The location is great, and their outdoor seating is lovely. However, the food was really disappointing. . Ordered the cheese toastie, the cheese they used was really unpleasant and they probably put a tablespoon amount of cheese for two toasties. Had two bites and threw out the rest, the chicken wings were dry and the nachos were okay but once again limited amount of cheese, their cheese reminds me of vegan cheese. They could have other delicious stuff on the menu, but unfortunately it wasn’t anything we picked and I feel like I wasted money as I still left hungry. The service could also do with some improving, asked for mayonnaise 3 times until I finally got it. The prices for the drinks are extortion, almost £5 for an apple juice that isn’t even freshly squeezed and a bottle of water at almost £4.

perfect again it’s always our place we visit now and we go to a lot of green king pubs sundays are the best day here as we like all the sport and the feeling of a friendship with all the staff

Lovely roast dinner. Reasonable prices! The pub is nice and warm with a great atmosphere. Friendly staff :)

One of the best in Chiswick for range of drinks. Well priced for the area and very focused on hygiene. Excellent customer service. Visited again Feb 2024, same high standards. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Well worth a visit.

Lovely place ,great manager 😊 definitely recommend

Vegan burger was very tasty! Chicken and bacon burger was very juicy and delicious 😋 The chips were amazing too! Nice friendly staff! Thanks very much!

Food was nice. Staff a bit snobbish. They definitely do not like Americans. Maybe they are a bit bitter from1777 and 1812.

Fantastic local pub, everyone is friendly, food great and Chris is an absolute delight.

Friendly. Warm and welcoming. Staff attentive. Scott good fun. Chrisca great asset

Clean and well maintained pub. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

The welcoming staff and fantastic atmosphere for live sports at this pub truly stood out. When I lost my key card last week, someone kindly picked it up, and the pub held onto it for a week until I could retrieve it. This experience showcased the exceptional quality of both the staff and the customers. I highly recommend this local pub.

Food and service are excellent, thank you Scott and Tito.

Excellent food and great service.

Having been to many pubs in Chiswick, I had never been here. On the last day of Jan 2024, on a day off, we decided to come here (and so glad we did) We were greeted by the lovely Scottish Scott….Yep, like poetry in motion (the wonderful Manager….Scott) If you’ve never been to Scotland…..don’t worry….A little piece of Sottish heaven (& hospitality) tucked away in the leafy suburb of W4…..Food was amazing and his team are just as lovely as Scottish Scott ….And when you depart, you will be sent on you way with a jubilant “Cheerrri-O” like you would in any backwater pub in Scotland….Defo coming back here…x

Bar man named Tito had incredible service.

Lovely evening at the Packhorse, Tito behind the bar was very welcoming for my friends and I. New regular spot in Chiswick I think!

Very nice family neighborhood pub. Good menu selection and friendly staff

Came in to watch the football, stayed for the service and cold beers. Was a pleasure chatting to tito. Hope he enjoys his travels.

Tito gave amazing service and was lovely!

Perfect again. we always end up back here when visiting and will continue as it our hidden treasure of a restaurant and all the staff know our first names which makes us so comfortable. Thank you

Visited in a sunny but cold Thursday afternoon with a friend.. lovely pub with good selection of food and drinks.. friendly and attentive staff, we had the pleasure to be served by Scott who was absolutely great! It’s always a pleasure to be served by someone that actually care about customers and he definitely put a smile in our face with his “savoir faire”.. will definetly be back next time I’ll be in west london!

Had a wonderful dinner here, pub was lovely and staff were extremely helpful, Sophie was very accommodating! Will definitely be returning

Called in on a lunchtime and had the lunch & drink special. We both had the scampi which was absolutely delicious and such good value. Lovely friendly & hospitable Gentleman behind the bar. Will definitely call again when in Chiswick.

Visited for lunch and just such a lovely pub! Staff were all so friendly especially Sophie who made us feel so welcome. Food was also amazing! Looking forward to coming back soon

Had an amazing dinner the the other night, staff was amazing and food was great. Will definitely be returning

Nice clean Big place Quite loud, but you can find a quieter part to have serious conversation Great selection of drinks Nice staff The security man Denis was polite and helpful, he brought our friend to where we were sitting when he arrived Nice security staff makes a big positive difference 😊😁

Always love coming here, excellent staff, very friendly and great service. Kris & Sophie were behind the bar this time and they both knew my drinks order from last time. Always making an effort to chat to the locals and be friendly with the new customers too. Just a really nice pub to visit!

Great pub, great staff, Scotty is a great manager. Love watching the football, perfect atmosphere, many screens. also live bands are great. Worth a visit.

Lovely and friendly staff in comfortable surroundings.Great food at good prices and Chef came to make sure we were happy with the meals we ordered.
