Packhorse & Talbot in Hounslow

The Packhorse and Talbot Pub is a charming spot that perfectly blends traditional pub vibes with a welcoming atmosphere. It’s not just a great place for lunch; it’s also a fantastic spot for food and watching sports! The layout features a variety of seating options, including cosy booths and communal tables inside for those who enjoy a lively environment. If you prefer some fresh air, there’s also outdoor seating, which is perfect for enjoying your meal while soaking up the sun or catching a game on a nice day. When we arrived, we were greeted with a cosy setting, complete with wooden beams and rustic decor, which made it feel like a home away from home. As we settled in, we appreciated the variety of drink options available. The beer selection featured local brews, which were refreshing and complemented our meals nicely. My partner's wine was also of good quality, adding to our overall enjoyment. For lunch, the menu offered a tempting array of classic pub fare. The steak and chips were lovely; they were cooked exactly to my preference, and the chips were crispy and golden. The burger was equally as nice. Although the patty wasn't grilled, the beef burger itself was juicy and flavorful. The toppings were fresh, and the bun was just the right amount of soft and sturdy. One aspect that added to our experience was the attentive service. The staff were friendly and quick to assist, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. While ordering at the bar can be a minor inconvenience, it provided the opportunity to review the full menu and make our choices at our own pace. Overall, the Packhorse and Talbot Pub is a great choice for a casual lunch with family or friends, especially if you want to catch a game. The combination of quality food, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere makes it a place we'd happily return to. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty meal, a drink to unwind, or just want to enjoy the excitement of sports in a lively setting, this pub delivers a satisfying experience!

Brilliant pub, love coming to watch the football.

Really lovely classic pub with a nice little beer garden. Good vibes and excited about their new Wednesday night pub quiz!!!

5 Stars – A True Gem in the Heart of Chiswick! Being welcomed in the morning by the chef 👨‍🍳 is absolutely first class and not only that he knows exactly what me and my family want. Our little one grew up in this pub and loves his food. Packhorse & Talbot has truly become a special place for me and my family. Every visit feels like coming home – the atmosphere is welcoming, relaxed, and filled with genuine warmth. The food is consistently delicious, with a menu that offers something for everyone, whether you're after a comforting classic or something a little different. Every dish is clearly made with care, and the quality never disappoints. But what really sets Packhorse & Talbot apart is the incredible team. Every single member of staff goes out of their way to make our experience unforgettable. They are always kind, attentive, and thoughtful – it's clear they genuinely care about their customers. It's rare to find a place where you are greeted like old friends each time you walk through the door. We feel very lucky to have such a fantastic pub right in our neighbourhood. Thank you to the whole Packhorse & Talbot team for always making our visits so enjoyable. We can't wait to come back again and again!

Dog bowl and biscuits were provided on a hot day, great service

Adrian was amazing, took our drinks order and super accommodating. Will recommend everyone to come especially for Adrian!!

Great place with a super friendly staff! Adrian and Christina convinced us for a great tasty drinks :) thank you!

Fantastic service. Excellent for a lazy afternoon beer or to watch a bit of sport.

Came here after googling places to eat at Chiswick and this had some good deals on food and was priced well. Had the katsu burger and husband had a garlic mushroom burger. I had a cherry Bakewell cocktail which was delicious. All in all was good food, nice pub and staff were attentive. Would visit again.

Was here for the arsenal madrid game and the atmosphere was absolutely brilliant. Great staff, and great food, i promise the chicken karage is one of the best things ive ever eaten. Sophie, Adrian and Kris were great and always ensured glasses werent empty, great service! Best pub in chiswick!

The ambience is refreshingly amazing!! Tried their specials and they were spot on! The Crispy Squid was light and golden, with a lovely crunch and a sweet chilli kick that played so well. And the Karaage Sticky Chicken? Honestly addictive. They even got Live Music— Every Friday 🎵🎶

Bonito lugar, me gusta mucho el diseño de interiores. La comida era muy buena. Y creo que los empleados eran muy agradables y tal vez la mejor parte de este pub

Fantastic atmosphere and kind workers.

Friday live music was amazing, my friend told me about this place and the beer garden at the back!! Nice gem in Chiswick! See you soon

Had a family meal here and it was pleasant and best the best thing was the happy hour that starts at 4 ! 241 enjoyed some good beers and food ! I recommend it

Good food, happy and friendly staff, I can’t recommend this place enough!!! Will be back soon

I came for an absolutely delicious Sunday roast last weekend, and this place really did not disappoint. The staff were friendly and attentive, and made the experience very enjoyable. Personally, I had the beef sirloin roast, which was perfect - the meat was perfectly cooked, crispy roasties, and lovely veg. My partner had the fish and chips, which looked incredible! Afterwards we had some cold pints in the beer garden, which is spacious and a lovely spot to relax on a sunny weekend afternoon. The exterior and interior of the pub is beautifully decorated too. All round, an excellent pub experience - will definitely be returning!

Happy hours!! This place has happy hours and it’s the best deal in the area. Got 2 Moretti for £7.30 wicked deal. Staff was friendly and helpful good times and vibes

All the staff at the packhorse are really friendly and helpful. Their garden area is pretty with lights and heaters. Food is served quickly. Would definitely recommend.

Good food and nice atmosphere especially when the football is on. Lovely food and friendly staff 🤩

Great pub ! Excellent service 100% visit again plus food was amazing

Very good sports pub, nice food and attentive staff.

Food was absolutely amazing! Very fast service, everyone was really lovely!! Can't wait to come back, thankyou!!

Buena comida, servicio rápido y personal muy amable! Vine aquí con mi familia para el asado del domingo, y no me decepcionó!

Food was good but it was cold when it arrived. The live music was great and the service at the bar was fast with friendly staff. I would recommend a visit.

Food was good, we had a bit of a confusion with the pigs in blankets 😂 apparently you get only 1 singular pig in a blanket with your roast. But they gave us some extra which was great.

Perfect location for Sunday roasts, and premier league

The pub is conveniently located (easily accessible by tube or bus) on Chiswick High Road. Good facilities with several TVs to watch live sports such as football or rugby. The program can sometimes be chosen individually at the table if you ask the service. The size and quality of the food is standard. We chose the beef burger which was absolutely fine.

I had a very nice experience there. The food , service and atmosphere was amazing . Also I would like to mention that Cristina was very friendly , communicative and helpful. 🤩 Definitely I will come again.🙂

Was amazing seeing that all services also Cristina is nice person

Lovely place to watch sport events, stuff is very helpful and food is great ,l will share a picture with the food that we order and it was delicious , we been last night and we had a great experience ! We deff visit them again !

Super amazing place! 🤩 very nice and responsive stuff, enjoyable atmosphere and really great food 😋! A special thanks to a lovely lady worker Cris, she was amazing! 🤗🤩

I am very satisfied from the Service provided and specially from Kristina .Very nice place with great food.

Great food am amazing atmosphere. Exceptional customer service. Kriss had an amazing attitude, very pleasant and professional. 10/10 would recommend 👌

I've had the pleasure of seeing Cristina, the supervisor, in action, and it's clear she is an incredible asset to the team. Also I observed the rest of the team doing an amazing job, ensuring that each guest is happy. Overall, I've had an amazing experience and the food is amazing too. 😁

Great place to go, customer service was the best experience as I was looked after by lovely Christina! She is amazing!.

During the day good service when the main man is in. In the evening if he is not in, lost of order errors, poor service. Hopefully he is just in on holiday.

Good place, good food quality. The waiters could be kinder

Had a very tasty lunch, bit quiet

Great place for a little celebration with friends. Food was Amazing and also the atmosphere.

Junto con dos hombres fui a este pub a ver Forest v Liverpool. Todos comimos la misma comida, pastel de carne, patatas fritas y guisantes. Voy a ser breve, pero el personal era genial, muy amable, la comida era la mejor de su tipo que he tenido en un pub. Si te gusta un pastel de carne, esto toma un poco de golpe. Nuestra visión del partido fue brillante y me quedé satisfecho con un marcador meritorio de 1 - 1 Soy un fanático del Forest no acostumbrado a que lo hagamos tan bien. Un gran centro comercial de experiencia en todos.

An ok pub, but very overpriced. Over £6 for a bottle Heineken. Ridiculous.

Gran almuerzo del día de Navidad buen ambiente agradable, buen personal y amable. Las mesas se veían preciosas con galletas saladas y velas jardín estaba decorado maravillosamente también.

This is a very nice pub with plenty of screens to enjoy sport and a decent choice of beers, spirits and wines. Food is ok

Best pub in Chiswick and I’ve tried them all. Good prices. Great atmosphere. Proper local.

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.

Gran comida y bebidas, también tienen opciones vegetarianas, sin duda lo puedo recomendar : ) personal realmente agradable, muchas gracias !

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

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

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

Friendly and efficient staff and clean drinking hole overall.

Świetny klimat :) Bardzo miłe miejsce, świetne jedzenie. Pyszne burgery, bardzo miła obsługa. Na pewno jeszcze wrócimy, serdecznie polecam :)

las mejores hamburguesas de Londres, gran servicio, gran ambiente en el lugar, sin duda volveré, un lugar digno de recomendar a todo el mundo

Świetna restauracja, jedzenie było wyśmienite i do tego bardzo mili ludzie :) gorąco polecam wszystkim, którzy będą w okolicy :)

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

Durante mi visita a este encantador pub, me impresionó no solo la deliciosa comida y bebidas, sino también el ambiente cálido y acogedor. Cada plato era fresco, bellamente presentado, y una verdadera delicia para el sabor. Este es un gran lugar no solo para las bebidas fantásticas, sino también para la experiencia auténtica, haciéndote sentir muy bien. Es el lugar perfecto para salir con tus amigos.

Great place to relax and unwind

Nice place to watch games. Food pretty average though.

The flat iron steak had a funny taste… left it

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 ?

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!

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

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

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

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!

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

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