The Brook in Hounslow

Perfect Sunday lunch. Great beef. Loads of veg. Excellent hosting by Tim as ever. Super community vibe. Run, don't walk

A rare find indeed in the back streets of Brentford you will come across an exception pub much loved by locals and visitor alike. If you are visiting the area (staying in one of the many local hotels), you are made to feel most welcome and like a regular almost immediately by the landlord and locals alike. There is an every changing list of craft beers and ciders, they also have some great choices of wines and excellent home-made food. On Wednesdays and Thursdays traditional Thai food is cooked by Nook and Friday to Sunday you can selection either small bites or larger meals from the main menu which changes regularly and, of course, they do a great Sunday roast with possibly the best gravy in the world! I would always suggest you book, their food is popular. The pub is beautifully decorated and had a recent, colourful summer-vibe make-over in their sunny garden - lovely for evening drinks and nibbles. Another thing the pub is loved for is its massive vinyl selection - Tim the landlord is playful with the music, and you will experience his very diverse collections, always a talking point! This really is a fantastic local pub and worth a visit if you are in the Brentford Area

I’ve walked past this place many. Many times over the decades and have not bothered with giving it a try On Sunday after lunch a group of 5 of us were on the way to another pub nearby There was something enchanting about The Brook with its little gate at the front and the sunlit bar which prompted us to give it a try We were not disappointed I started off with a wonderful pint of cider served by the charming landlord very shortly followed by a top notch Negroni Coupled with some old school bar top roast potatoes brought to us by the lady of the manor Great chat and a group of very friendly locals To top it all the landlord was also a vinyl DJ across the afternoon What a great time we all had ! The menu looks great and will certainly give the food a go next time we visit All in all a great find

Great food and lovely owner. Even though I was traveling felt as if it was my 1000th time there. The garden was lovely. It’s authentic and no pretend pub tourist scam. Highly recommend.

This is our favorite pub in London. Tim and his wife Tosh are genuinely nice people who run a friendly pub and offer outstanding food. Our small tour group from Arizona found The Brook on Trip Advisor, and it became our “home away from home” while we were in Brentwood and London. After touring southern England for a week, we had one last night in London and we immediately went back to The Brook for our farewell party. Tim and Tosh (and the pub dog, Dexter) greeted us like family. We’ll try to get back to London someday, and when we do The Brook will be our first stop. Highly recommended!

Places like this are becoming rare. A proper local boozer. The space is light, airy and beautifully decorated. The couple that run the place are incredibly friendly, energetic, engaging and professional. After my first visit, they greeted me like a regular the second time and remembered my drink choice. My partner came down for a weekend and this was the first place I took her. The food was terrific and very good value indeed. The place is properly engaged with the area - locally-made marmalade and cards can be bought. The owner is music mad (there’s a turntable in the bar) and it’s one of those police’s you end up actually talking to people (a rarity in that there London). Also - there are no screens showing endless football - a bonus for me. There’s a lovely beer garden and the whole vibe is just welcoming, inclusive, friendly and exactly the way a local pub should be. I had stayed in Brentford for weeks before I found this utter gem and I wish I’d found it sooner. Seek it out. You will not be disappointed.

The Brook is a brilliant pub. The menu changes weekly. Friendly helpful staff & Tim is the perfect host. In May 2023 there was a great art exhibition.

We had an excellent Thai meal last night cooked on the premises by Nook. Tim the owner made us feel very welcome and women unaccompanied by a man can feel very comfortable and relaxed. Good choice of wine and non alcoholic drinks as well as craft beers. Will most definitely return to sample the rest of the menu. Dogs very welcome too!

We stumbled across this fantastic place whilst staying nearby for the rugby at Twickenham. The minute we walked in the door we were made to feel like one of the locals. Tucked away on the corner of a quiet residential street, it makes a refreshing change to the manufactured bars and pubs that are so common these days, Great selection of beers and fantastic home cooked food, not to mention the most amazing staff, we left this place planning a hasty return when next in the neighbourhood. Special thanks to the wonderful couple Tim and Tosh for making us feel so welcome with their gorgeous black Labrador Dexter. This is how pubs should be!

Such a fantastic place, gorgeous setting, fantabulous food and love the landlord and landlady! And as for Dexter Dog hope your poorly leg gets better soon! ❤️

The Brook is always amazing! There is a great selection of beers and the owners Tim and Tosh are so friendly. The food is all cooked by Tosh so can be a bit slow but is delicious. They play great music on their vinyl and always make you feel welcome.

Found this pub/Diner a while ago whilst visiting my son who lives nearby. Over numerous visits have always had a warm welcome from the Landlord and his wife. He does the Bar, she does the cooking and the Bar. Good range of good draught beers most of which have been new to me. Limited menu but I've always found something I like the sound of, and more importantly liked the taste of. Another good point for me is most of the customers are mature or Families with well behaved children. None of the 'yobbish' types.

Absolutely blown away by this place. We had a long day and arrived in Brentford tired and hungry. Found The Brook on-line and phoned to see if we could get a table and from the phone call we felt very welcomed and walked straight over. The landlord was so friendly and he even made our kids smile and laugh. Everything about this place is great. The food and the drink were both superb. Atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. There was something on the menu to suit all of us including the kids. If the kids hadn’t been so tired we could of stayed all evening. Will definitely be back when we come back to Brentford.

I just popped in for Sunday lunch. It was marvellous. The chicken was not tender without being too moist. Vegetables roasted to perfection and the flavours all brought out without a heaping of salt. Great selection of beers too and friendly bar staff. What's not to like?

A village pub vibe but with a great range of craft beer and Asian food to soak it all up. Friendly staff and customers and a brilliant hidden patio at the rear with a dozen tables. Landlord knows his beers alright! Thai chef when we went. If you’re staying in Brentford don’t miss out on this gem of a little pub!

What a gem this place is. Welcoming in every way, excellent choice of craft beers (I was assured by beer drinking friends), nothing was too much trouble for Tim the owner and we really enjoyed the varied food offer in the lovely garden. I'd recommend...

What a brilliant job this couple have done to transform a back street pub into a welcoming community venue offering a great selection of craft beers and good food. As a local resident and regular visitor since the re-opening of the pub in 2019, Tim...

I’m so glad I popped in here on a Wednesday night! They do Thai food Wednesday and Thursday nights and omg I would definitely recommend coming down and trying some food of their Thai menu. Bao buns.. unbelievable!! The tastiest thing I’ve ever had!! Anyways...

Good food, good drink and good company. Made welcome as soon as we walked in the door, and just as good on the second visit.

Had a great Sunday lunch here. Excellent food with masses of vegetables, friendly hosts, nice quirky decor. Real ales for my husband

Haven't eaten here, but the selection of craft beers, the welcome and the pub itself are excellent with a really nice atmosphere. Great little garden as well if the weather is nice, with several seats under cover. Owners have done a great job in converting...

On a side street at rev corner of the Brentford football ground. A pub which is great looking from the street and even more so from the inside, which is quite unusual. The ever changing craft brew beers on offer is always from an impeccable...

Nice people here, and the craft ale was a bonus. It was surprisingly quiet for a weekend visit, and the food service was slow but the food itself was pretty good (although the mountain of 'fries' was not really necessary. Some unusual wines too. We...

Lovely warm pub on a cold and wet March evening. Great selection of craft beers and really friendly staff. You have to try the open lamb burger!

The owners have transformed a back street pub with stylish decoration and subtle lighting into a warm and friendly place where you can expect to meet local residents or passing visitors. The pub has a fine selection of beer, lager and cider which changes regularly...

We had a really enjoyable Sunday lunch at The Brook - having visited the pub previously the roasts looked so delicious we decided to give them a try. My chicken was so wonderfully cooked with inviting brown skin on - a huge portion but equally...

Me and my fiancé come in here all the time and we love it. It’s such a friendly and welcoming place, exactly how a pub should be. The owners and their staff are all really lovely. Great beers and ciders and delicious food. It’s in...

Fantastic place. Friendly, welcoming, great drink choices, good food and brilliantly eclectic music from vinyl records. If you’re solo, the owners make this such a warm place, you feel completely at ease. The Brook was formerly a dark and dingy ‘old man’ pub. Congrats to...

We are so lucky to have this pub on our doorstep. Since it opened after its refurbishment last summer, the owners Tim & Tosh have worked hard to engage with different sections of the community. From initiatives such as the Pub Boot Sale on Sunday...

This area of Brentford is holding it's breath for the impending movement of Brentford FC away from Griffin Park - GP's claim to football fame is being the only ground with a pub on all four corners, The Brook and three others. - The management...

The Brook was initially shut when I rucked up just after 2.00pm making me think that this new incarnation doesn’t open until 4.00pm on a weekday as it was open by the time I returned after doing the other three of the Griffin Park quartet...

It was during the summer and we were a party of four and we loved what you had done with the pub but were not impressed with the food but we hoped it was early days.

We live locally and we always enjoy this pub. They have a great selection of beers and the food is really delicious. However the best is the feeling of the place and the people. We always feel welcome here.

very quaint pub with a best selection of real ales freehouse great couple Tim and Tosh and very good meals good prices highly recommend well worth a visit

Quaint pub, have a look at history on their web site. Reasonable selection of beers, not as good as Black Dog. Standard pub fare but specials are different and worth looking at

A fantastic, friendly small pub with a sunny garden. Being a freehouse it serves a good selection of craft ales with 'guest ales' and ciders. If wine in your thing, they have an excellent wine list on offer too. Tim and Tosh have recently renovated...

Tim and Tosh have done a wonderful job in refurbishing this local pub, a real classy addition to the area. They are beyond hospitable, the interior is very tastefully furnished, the food is delicious, the garden is gorgeous, and the staff are very friendly. The...

We went with a group of adults and kids. When we got our bill we noticed we had a 20% gratuity added to our bill which we had r authorised. We’d been a previous time and were served soggy macaroni. We sent it back and...

Great pub, cracking staff and good cider. As an away fan, Bristol City, the welcome received at away ground pubs is at best varied, the welcome extended at the Brook was great, thank you.

We have lived in Brentford for 12 years and it’s fantastic to see this pub resurrected. It’s a wonderful, friendly and welcoming local. I’ve had a couple of visits for a few beers both inside and in the beer garden, but last night for the...

So it’s a very warm Sunday Bank Holiday and it’s too hot to cook so we decided to visit The Brook which my son had recommended to us after he had an excellent works evening. The new landlord and landlady (who is also the chef)...

This is a really amazing new pub, and one of the best in the area. We have felt at home from the first time we walked in. The food is amazing! Great burger, some really amazing salads and a good selection of interesting beers.

Top rating is for the gorgeous dog! Also the drinks were lovely, staff very friendly and the garden is really nice too, perfect local pub. We’ll be back!

A beer and a tonic water £10.40! That being said a well renovated pub, good selection of beers and ciders.

We came for a a family meal here and absolutely loved it! Loved all the decor and the garden was stunning, atmosphere was really friendly and welcoming. We had a mezze board to share which was delicious, followed by some of the best fish and...

Spent an evening here recently with family and we had a really fabulous time. The pub renovations look good and the shady garden was really welcome in the hot weather. The welcome was warm and the staff friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. We tried a...

A really sweet local pub with a huge beer selection and variety of great pub food! Came in with some friends last week and ended up staying for way longer than expected as it was so nice! Bar staff were quick to help us with...

I think it’s only been open a short time but had a fantastic experience. Great service, very friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

A lot of effort has gone into this pub of late, and a warm welcome awaits. Fantastic selection of really different beers, a diverse wine list and a pretty garden to drink in. We didnt dine but menu looked interesting, and we plan to give...

So we have The Griffin, the recently opened Black Dog, and now The Brook - all very close to each other. All three are very good pubs with solid food options. The Brook has a lovely garden area (our favourite of the three) so is...

We live locally and had heard the place had be referbished. Popped in for a pint on a sunny Friday evening. Nice garden, too. Was lovely and will be back!
