The Great Western in Hillingdon

We came across the great western when looking for a place to eat outside looks not great but wow The staff food was the Best Indian food I have ever tasted all the family enjoyed the food The Beer and cider great selection The staff go out of there way to make you welcome being disabled even offered to help me great people great food

Great curry. Pub not exactly pleasing on the eye! Looks a bit rough from outside but looks are deceptive. It is ok and serves a great curry. A good place to walk to when staying at mercure down the road.

Simply brilliant, if you’re staying at the Mercure just walk up the road for 5 minutes to enjoy a blissful quality feed and a tasty quality selection of beers...

I was there yesterday They really need to get rid of the smell in the gents toilets. A bottle of bleach in each of the urinals overnight would fix it. And why doesn’t the urinal flush with water? Surely that’s not acceptable. If they aren’t worried about a public area, I’m not sure I’d be happy to eat there. Just being honest b

I ate at The Great Western the other night whilst staying at the Mercure down the road.The food was excellent. Massive portions, chicken tikka masala was divine with a decent kick to it, and the garlic naan was fabulous. Price was very good too! Unfortunately the service let it down, and was borderline rude, and the whole atmosphere was rather unfriendly. I wouldn't be too keen to eat in the there again as a result, but would definitely get a takeaway.

Great food. They made it extra spicy to our requirement fois was pipping hot and fresh. Great value for money Great value

Booked into the mecure hotel heathrow, went for a walk,seen a pup with indian and british food, after walk checked out with a drink staff very friendly checked menu fine selection, drinks reasonable, went back to hotel the back for our evening meal food brill wine ok. Really enjoyed

We were staying at the Mercure just down the road and popped in here because another review said a good curry It was absolutely lovely.. And superb staff.. we had a lovely evening in here .. definitely going back Cheers

Staying at the mercure hotel,staying overnight and off to vegas in morning,needed a decent meal , blinding curry and great atmosphere ,little tip share the rice its huge,really friendly place ,dont bother eating in hotel ,give this place a go!

Very ordinary looking pub in Hayes on main road. But if you are in the area you must stop by for the best Indian Food I have had. Lovely staff and certainly excellent chef. The rice was beautifully separate grains and flavoured with almonds raisins and coconut. Peshwari rice, obviously freshly prepared.Yes the pub has TVs and racing enthusiasts using pretty rough language which added a bit of local 'colour' if you can call hearing the 'f' word about 500 times 'colourful'!! Interesting though.Back to the food. The reason why I gave a 5 star review.

The menu is predominantly Indian cuisine but there is an English section on the menu and they have a children’s section. The food was well cooked and well presented. They are large portions and reasonably priced although the menu states 2 for £10 we found out when ordering it had to be 2 of the exact same dish which wasn’t evident from the menu. If staying in the area again we would return.

Stopped in for a refreshment each night after doing the tourist thing by day around London. Found the staff friendly and excellent service...Prices were reasonable and enjoyed their Indian food especially the wraps that I had as a take-away often. Would be happy to recommend a stop-over there.

This place is shamazing...food was boss, we are on a lay over pre cruise and I was sceptical as a born and bred Yorkshire lass. I mean, Bradford do THE BEST curries, but this place did not disappoint, in fact met and blew my expectations. Punjabi cooking at its finest. Atmosphere great too, embracing multi culturalism to the max. If you are in the area, your missing out if you don't call in.

Reasonably priced drinks and meals, we had the butter chicken accompanied with rice and naan - good Indian food. Wine and beers reasonably priced in a great atmosphere, heating was also on point! Would visit again.

After the harrowing experience of the recent Gatwick drone problems, we were looking for somewhere to have a pint and a meal as we overnighted to wait for our next day flights. The Great Western was the nearest pub, so we thought we would give it a try.

went in for food was told by bar person Indian good and not to try English food as chef not that good at it. food average . not impressed as had ANTS on the table . . Advertised as family friendly pub I disagree.

Walked in tonight and ordered one pint of beer. Proceeded to pay with a DEBIT card and now told it was £5 minimum. Left the poured pint on the counter and bought four large tins more from the off-license next door for £4 the lot.

We visited the GWP last Friday, first time in 6 years and was very impressed with the service and food was delicious . We will back again for the lovely Indian food and will highly recommend.

We were staying at a nearby hotel so we decided to give this place a try! We ordered 2 burgers and onion rings and each had a beer. The bartender was very nice. It would have been nice yo know we had to order at the bar initially, but that's alright. Good beer selection, food was ok (typical bought frozen food), and prices were good.

Went to this pub after visiting several other pubs due to problems finding seating and good screens at others

Stayed at the nearby Mercure Hotel both before and after our holiday so ate here on both occasions, the Indian food on our first visit was delicious, our second visit I ate from the “ Normal Menu “ which was good, my husband had another curry in his words “ “ one of the best curries he has ever had” needless to say we will be eating here again.

Stayed at the Mercure nearby & luckily happened upon this gem. Ok it’s not fancy. But if a great curry & a pint is what you’re after then go no farther. Pool table & sports on tv. Good value & service to boot. Had a butter chicken & lamb Rogan josh , nan , pilaf rice for 2 but portions are big so could do for 3. Wish this was my local

I really wantes to try the indian menu after reading good reviews, i was staying in hotel nearby. Surely not all these positive reviews can be genuine?? The chicken methi was like a soup the smell was awful.. why would you serve this? I serve it had been blended and pieces of chicken thrown in.. it went straight into the bin i cannot believe it. Next one was onion baji's. Same thing horrid smell to it. Next one was plain paratha cooked one side only smell again. cooked by a 5 year old? Something wrong with people calling this authentic indian food. i called up to complain and ofcourse he brushed it off even let out a laugh. Terrible useless food

This place rocks! Staff is awesome and friendly. The atmosphere is chill! The Indian food is the best, hot right from the kitchen, spicy to your liking, filling and delicious!!! Highly recommend The Great Western, five ⭐️s. Kirk and Cindy 🇨🇦

O local é muito agradável e o atendimento também. Há comida não indiana, como carne, batata, hamburgueres etc. Mas eu recomendo a comida indiana, que me pareceu deliciosa. Os preços são justos. Fica perto do Mercure London Heathrow Hotel, sendo uma boa opção para fazer refeições para quem está hospedado neste hotel. Eu visitei várias vezes o The Great Western e pretendo retornar em minha príxma viagem para Londres. Eu recomendo.

A friend lives near by and it was suggested rather than traveling to and fro - we used this pub more regularly - and it has become like my second local. Rick and team are always very welcoming. The Indian food which is authentic and very tasty is cooked to order and they do a good trade for us 'locals' that just keep coming back for more.. Decor is fine, plenty of tv's for sport. Toilets clean, beer garden at the side, and a reasonable car park - Prices are not expensive either for food or drink - Keep up the good work. Keema is wonderful...with a little extra Ginger, and spice, chillies!

Went in here for something to eat and drink. We chose a curry instead of english food. Vegetable samosas a bit different from curry houses but nice. Sauces nice and tasty. Main meals very nice too. Drinks reasonably priced.

We stayed at the mercure hotel which is about 5 minutes walk away. It was a Friday night about 9 o'clock. Sky sports was on with decent music in the background. The staff were really friendly and we ordered Indian food from the full Indian menu. What an unexpected treat. Great value authentic Indian cuisine which totally exceeded my expectations given the price. If you are staying at the mercure I would highly recommend this pub

We walked here from the Mercure hotel. I had a mild curry dish of the day & dh had fish...

Primero de todo la gran occidental es ante todo un bar de deportes y debe ser conocido como tal, pero tengo que decir que la comida india es "adecuado" que como un indio poco prefiere hacerse conocedor del "Ruby Murray" creo que es lo que...

Alojamiento en el Hotel Mercure cerca de encontrar este lugar después de una pizca del Mercure eplyees :-) Buen lugar para algunas cervezas y mi primer pescado y patatas fritas estaba bien. Nunca comprenderán la fábula de los británicos para tartas :-)

Elegimos aquí en preferencia a el Hotel Mercure. De haberlo hecho. Personal amable y servicial y una buena variedad de comidas punjabi. A un precio muy razonable. Tuve que esperar, lo cual es una buena señal, ya que este no fue montada fuera del congelador...

A tomarnos una copa, y me sorprendió gratamente, dado que no hay muchos pubs alrededor aquí y las tiendas son un poco básicas. El servicio es bueno, el lugar es limpio y ordenado. Estaba tan tranquilo, pero el lunes los clientes eran muy agradables. También...

Visité este pub y todo lo que puedo decir es chocante personal grosero parece un druggie policía pub aquí a menudo fue atacada por el personal evitar este lugar.

Ocurrió que de paso y un salto con un mate. Encontramos la decoración agradable, el lugar parecía muy familiar con niños corriendo. Buen trato y disfrutamos de una encantadora pareja de pintas en las mesas de afuera. No tuve la oportunidad de comer comprar definitivamente volveré a probarlo.

We come in for a couple of drinks then to have a meal, it did not come to this as my husband popped in to use the toilet check it out before we eat and a bar member grabbed his coat and pulled him out the toilet and said you not ordering you not using the toilet. my husnand explained he was just using the toilet then was going to order but was kicked out of the pub saying he was drunk, funny as he was the one driving! what a shambles will not be coming here again

Stopped by the pub for a quick bite and we were pleasantly surprised. Ricky treated us really well and we enjoyed the Indian mixed grill of lamb and chicken. Nice choice of beer and full bar. Many friendly locals as well. Would recommend as an alternative to the Mercure Hotel food.

Myself and a friend ate here for dinner while staying at the Mercure Hotel Heathrow as it was the closest pub to where we were. The food was ok for the price and pub food but if there had been another pub to chose from I would have looked there first before deciding which place to eat at. The decor was pretty boring and basic. Find somewhere else if possible.

I went to have dinner with my Mrs and ordered seekh kebab, chicken karahi with some grilled chicken Breast but unfortunately didn't enjoy the food except seekh kebab,Service was good but food need improvement.

We stayed at The Great Western Hotel, apon arriving everything in the hotel looked quite old and run down. I did not enjoy my stay. To get to our room was practically a maize and the staff at reception were ok, not great. When arriving to our room our door was slightly open so nothing locked and the smell of the room very musky. Parking was a nightmare as all were taken and we had to park across the road.(Not much space)When waking up in the morning we went to the restaurant, the view was beautiful and the restaurant service as well as food very good. Pricing not bad at all.I would recommend the restaurant to any travellers however not the accomodation

Working as contractors we visit many pubs in random places we've never been. This is the first I've visited and felt compelled to write a review on trip advisor. The management and staff run a very tight ship here and do it very, VERY well. We were made to feel very welcome and felt like we were amongst friends. The bar service was second to none. I didn't even need to tell them my drink order, they already knew what I wanted. A round of 5 drinks and a snack for myself came to just £21! Very reasonable prices given the location.Then there's the food. Oh the food. If you like a good curry then I can't recommend this place enough. No boiled chicken with a sauce lobbed on top here. Real home cooked, only using fresh whole produce. A mixed grill came Sizzlin for a tenner.I couldn't praise the staff and management enough. Highly recommended and I will certainly visit again if I'm back in the area.

Душевно, вкусно, много. Дешевле, чем в отеле. Очень приятный прием. Хозяева два брата индиица. Стоимость блюд в районе 10 фунтов. Порции Очень большие и очень вкусные. Приятного всем аппетита

It is rare to find a Pub that serves food all day bit this place offered full menu all day and is a very hospitable place for a meal. Being several hours "off" my normal time zone it was great to find a place with a great menu in the mid-afternoon...that is rare for a pub.It was within a 5 minute walk from the Mercure Hotel and it is just a gem of a Pub. For families that would like to sit in the bar side of the Pub, this Pub has a license permitting the children to sit at the tables in the Bar as long as they are with their parents. They have truly thought how to serve the public!If you are near this side of Heathrow, this is a great stop and great food.

Walked here from the Mercure Hotel just down the road as my wife fancied an Indian meal and we had spotted it earlier in the afternoon. I had the chicken and ribs combo and wife had the lamb karahi with onion bhaji and rice. The lamb was beautifully tender and it was all washed down with a couple of Thatchers Gold ciders and gin and tonics whilst we watched England beat Fiji in the rugby. The pub is run by a very hospitable manager who made us feel extremely welcome and it was good to see him very much hands on working with, and supervising, his staff. The food choice is half Asian and half British and it arrived promptly on hot plates and was delicious whilst being well presented. A great find and we would use it again.

We found this pub, a short walk from our two night stay at local hotel, after last nights mini meal at a very expensive cost, this place was a pleasure to find, it serves great pub grub plus it does a main menu, covering all aspects of Indian delights to feast upon, our children chose kids meals with free drink and myself and other half had Indian main measles sundries of nann and rice, least to say we left this establishment feeling more than full, we gently strolled back to our hotel, feeling satisfied, definitely worth this review and many more, certainly worth a visit, and if of interest, it covers SKY SPORTS too.

We found this place from where we were staying for the night before flying to Berlin. Were unsure of what to expect and we ordered a couple of Indian dishes. The food arrived without much of a delay and was delicious. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal and not a scrap was left behind. A great feed and the prices pretty good.

My husband and I visited here after I had seen good reviews on trip advisor about the food. We were staying at the mercure hotel, just around the corner. After paying a hell of a lot of money for 2 drinks in the hotel, we decided to come to the pub for dinner and a drink. We ate off the Indian menu and the food was delicious! Chicken samosas and chicken tika to start with (OMG amazing!) and a chicken biriani and a veg meal for main - all good sized and very tasty! Loved it! Thank you to the young waiter who served us!

Food was good but service was very slow. Nice menu - pub, steakhouse, and Indian traditional selection. Convenient walking distance from the Mercure Hotel and the bus stops.

Stumbled by this place as the hotel I was staying at for business didn't have Sky Sports! Had a few drinks here and ordered the Meat Samosa and Chicken Tikka. Nice palce cheap and great value plus it had Sky Sports so I could watch a bit of MNF!

Freundlich, Nett und das Essen ist gut. Viele Biersorten. Sky-Live: Fußball wird, natürlich geschaut, bei einem Guinness. Man kommt schnell ins Gespräch mit den Engländern. Das Restaurant ist eine gute Wahl, wenn man dort in der Nähe ist.

We ate at this pub several times while staying at the Shepiston Lodge. Because I have celiac disease, I have to find gluten-free food. The chef more than accommodated me with delicious curries.

Stayed at the comfort hotel before our flight in the morning. Drove passed the Great Western on our way to the hotel. Thought we'd try it out. Glad we did. Stunning food. We had chicken Tikka x2, shish kebab, onion bhaji (best I've ever tasted) and 2 naan breads. Eyes were bigger than our stomachs. But it was beautiful. Accompanied by a range of sauces. Staff we're courteous and attentive, served us at our table. Reasonably priced too. Would certainly recommend. Great start to any holiday.

The staff were very friendly the food was amazing and reasonably priced and only a short walk from our hotel will definitely come back again

Called up and asked if they were showing the Celtic game. They said they would do so I headed down. Drink and good served promptly. I had the veg samosas and a lamb curry, both of which were delicious. Nice quiet atmosphere for a nice evening. I'd recommend especially if you are staying in the comfort inn 2 minutes walk down the road.

Had a meal here whilst staying at the Comfort Hotel, the food was very good, hot and not too spicy. Staff very attentive and the price was extremely reasonable.

This used to be the best steak house in Middlesex, now it's a disgrace! Starters came after main course, the waiter didn't have a clue what the food was on the order, then when ordered a child's sausage egg chips and peas as stated on the menu ....... Had to send it back not once but twice as first forgot the egg and peas then the second it came out without the egg! By time the child's meal was as ordered the child was past wanting to eat also had to wait an hour for.......... Cheesy chips!!!!

After being rightly shafted by British Airways, my friend and I arrived into Hayes and couldn't find anywhere to eat. We came across The Great Western and they really went out of their way to feed us and cheer us up after a pretty grim experience with BA. We'll always remember their generosity and be grateful for their beautiful food and hospitality. If you are in Hayes make sure to stop by.

Just had a great evening with the family...great pub, great atmosphere, great owners .. Made to feel welcome lovely beers and food .. Great Family wishing them all the best. Just what a local pub should be !

We stayed at The Comfort Hotel and the nearest pub was The Great Western - we were immediately made to feel very welcome by all members of staff, who were all really friendly. The food was top quality and great value for money. The chef is Indian and the curry we had was top quality and very tasty. Definitely recommended.

Wasn't sure what to expect as I'm not familiar with this area. We were staying in a B&B close by. Wandered over and were welcomed right away. Watched some footy and enjoyed some bevies. Samosa snack was fantastic!

Appalled by the dinner and beer prices at my hotel, I wandered down the main road and found this pub which is run by an Indian family. They offer two menus, one Indian and one Western. The beer was reasonable too, for London, with a pint of Carlsberg at £3.15. Friendly atmosphere, excellent food, and live football. Very enjoyable way to spend an evening.

Well the staff make you feel really welcome as soon as you walk into the pub. We got our table and the bar lady brought the menus over to the table, took our drinks order,and before we had got our jackets off they were there. The menu was either a indian food menu or pub grub. My other half had JERK CHICKEN WITH CHIPS AND SALAD was lovely with just the right spices. I had SCAMPI,HOMEMADE CHIPS AND PEAS.And the portions were huge.

I was staying at the Comfort Inn hotel just down the street on holiday when my wife and I wandered in to this place. INCREDIBLY delicious Indian food, and fantastic service! As an American visitor, I could not have asked for a better real England pub / Indian food experience than this. I ended up eating here four times, and each time was better than the one before. Yum!

I was pleasantly surprised by this spot. Good beer and delicious Indian. What more could one ask for?

Staying locally overnight before flying out from Londons Heathrow hotel we walked to this large pub located right on a junction. The staff greeted us with smiles and were both polite and friendly. There are a number of large screen TV's to watch if you want. My wife and I were looking to eat, and they have a number of specials on which look like they may change daily. On the main menu they offer some very good value meals but my eye was taken by some of the Indian dishes on offer which, I am glad to say, did not disappoint. If you are in the area I would say give this one a try.

We just assumed this was an ordinary pub and popped in for a drink. We were amazed at the quality of the Indian food we chose. First class and friendly. Free wifi was another bonus!

Don't let the name fool, because they have some of the most amazingly fresh and flavorful Indian food I've ever had. The place looks like it might serve fried bar food, but nothing could be further from the truth. Quite friendly staff and a reasonable draught lineup. I'd be here every day if I could.

Ate here last night and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavour of the food. We had starters of chicken tikka and vegetable samosa, which were tasty and very good portion sizes. Mains were equally generous on portion sizes and the curries were very tasty and full of meat. If you want somewhere that offers good quality Indian food at a very reasonable price (we ate on a meal deal - starter, curry and side for £9.99 each) this is an excellent choice.

Reasonable pub food and service. Ideal if limited for time. Fairly close to Heathrow. Parking on local roads

This restaurant is very conveniently located on the main road. It is not advertised very well. We reached there quite late in the evening and it was 5 of us. We asked for Indian Non Veg food and the steward asked us to wait if the Indian Non Veg Kitchen was still open. It was NOT and we could order continental food. We just happened to ask if there was Vegetarian food. The owner asked us if we mind to eat the food prepared for staff and we happily accepted his kind offer. We ate our hearts out. One of the finest Methi Mutter Malai I have ever had with thick sumptuous Naan. If you want Indian Vegetarian it is a must to eat here. I am sure that the Indian Non Veg is equally fantastic.Very simple but awesome.Thanks to the owner.

The highlight for me is the new owners they have turned this place around looks really good they really trying to put their effort on this buisness like live band on Thursday, dj nights on Friday and Saturday the food speaks for itself. Never use to go their when previous owner was there as they never gave care about their costumers but these lot are amazingly friendly it feels more secure then before and can enjoy to extend love this place and I go their regularly and became their regular costumer.

We stumbled upon this pub during a walk from a nearby hotel where we spent three nights. The banners outside advertising specials in Indian cuisine persuaded us to try lunch therein. It turned out to be a very pleasant experience, in spite of the fact that some of the interior could do with some renovation. The bar staff were very friendly and helpful. The large television monitors were perfect for watching sport not available on free-to-air channels. The highlight was the superb North Indian food on offer. It took a while to arrive, but when it did, it was well worth the wait. My favourite dish was the fried cassava chips, a dish not normally available in Indian restaurants outside the UK. The food and drinks were very reasonably priced. The heating was at a beautifully cosy level. One disappointing feature was the poor condition of the toilets.

The tired and outdated beer mats for real ale they no longer serve shows how this place has gone downhill. The building and large screens show promise, but if you are not part of the owners' group of friends and relatives expect to be told to wait. If you enjoy a variety of lagers, a long wait and basic curries, then this is the place for you.

Standard English pub with Indian and English menu. Not busy when we were there so quick service and the food was ok although can't remember what we ate a month later.

Absolutely fantastic Indian and western food, found this pub by accident, the new management are fantastic, sports bar, wonderful friendly service, can't say enough how good the food is. Previous owner was useless, this one is great. Very close the heathrow airport, and walk to the comfort inn just down the road.We are here from Canada and have brought family from England, Sri Lanka and Ireland here since we have found it and all have said they will come back and bring friends with them.

Ate here with a colleague whilst staying in a hotel down the road. We had a Beef Lasagne and Scampi and Chips. Alarm bells should have rung when we had to ask for a second knife and fork (1st set was dirty). The waiter shrugged his shoulders at me instead of giving an apology. Food tasted alright but 1 hour after we left the pub both my colleague and I had the runs and I was up all night vomiting with diarreah so I couldn't work again until the following mid-afternoon.Went back the next afternoon to complain and get a refund. After some initial denials I did get a refund. My advice would be not to eat here!!

The Great Western advertises English and Indian food. The English menu is what you'd expect from a pub: lots of things with chips. You order at the bar. The staff were very friendly, and let me keep a tab open without even having to leave a credit card.It's large, with plenty of tables inside and outside, so it was easy to find a seat.The food was acceptable, though lacking some of the components listed on the menu. My scampi and chips was just that, without the advertised garden peas or wedge of lemon. And the Bailey's ice cream sundae was just a large glass of ice cream, without the whipped cream, flake, or chocolate chips — it was very nice though: decent quality ice cream. I wasn't bothered enough to inquire for either course as to why parts of it were missing, but it's something to watch out for, and it'd be worth memorizing the precise description of what you've ordered, so you can challenge it as it is served even if there isn't a menu to hand.The scampi arrived with a condiment tray. This didn't include ketchup, though the one served to the next table did. This seemed particularly bizarre, since they'd all ordered curry! I wish I hadn't bothered borrowing it though: it dribbled out of a plain red squeezy bottle, and was very thin with a bitter taste which actually made the chips taste worse. The sachet of tartare sauce was fine though.I'd eat there again in the same situation — I was staying in a nearby B&B and was looking for somewhere to eat. It fulfilled my needs adequately, and I wandered off sated.
