The Old Hat in Ealing

What a splendid place. The Old Hat in West Ealing is a delightful pub with two large bars and an expansive beer garden complete with a very friendly pub cat. A great range of keg beers. Only one cask ale available during my visit. Great staff and a good cold pint of lager, much enjoyed! This place is well worth a visit.

Wow everytime I visit London I make sure I call in this pub . So friendly and got a great vibe. I was in Thursday and a nice young man served me so polite and great customer service he was telling me he wanted to be an actor think he was called Leon. What a credit to your pub .

Excellent service in this place. Amazing atmosphere and service. Leon was brilliant with us throughout the day and made this my best pub experience in a while 10/10

New female manager is delightful but mens toilets are filthy majority of the time, not maintained or checked regularly. The tall asian bar tender is not pleasant, a change of career is advisable.

I will never recommend this place to anyone. Staff was really rude and provided no service whatsoever. Denis was very disrespectful and very unprofessional to me, sorry but she is spoils the atmosphere here.

It was crazy experience, the manager was rude and disrespectful. Really disappointed.

Is it possible to book a table in this place ? As we telephoned and manager told us that they didn’t provide this service but when we came few tables was booked. When we came and had bad experience with this place because a manager was disrespectful and rude.

I have not eaten yet at this pub, I only had a pint. Very fiendly atmosphere and clean pub.

Awful service we were in a pub and wanted to watch football. Manager Denys said that when football starts on TV, she will turn on the right channel. but when football started, she refused to turn on football on the TV that was opposite our table. We asked three times and she refused. Then other customers came and also asked to turn on the football, but she started screaming. A big request to change the manager in this pub, because it looks inadequate.

Just been in with a coach load of Leeds fans with a pre booking. Great staff and a great pub. Caters for everyone. Highly Recommended.

Really nice authentic Irish pub with good selection of beers and live sports. Brilliant staff too

Can't go wrong here. Calm and relaxed. What else do we want when we want to chill.

Great irish pub with massive beer garden. Garden in front of pub, but also a big beer garden in the back wirh loads of space. Sports shown inside and outside in the beer garden.

Amazing pub with anything you need :) I recommend

Excellent service, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere

Good place for during the day vibes

Fantastic service, drinks great value -staff were lovely and food was excellent. I live near Pitshanger lane but happy to travel here for a decent pint at a decent price and lovely staff

I used to visit weekly and have some beers ,meals What a lovely staff and energetic team always welcomes customers with smiley faces , This is my local pub used to visit nearly 5 years I will recommend to everyone just try this pub definitely you will never regret it

Had a quick pint and watched a bit of rugby. Main theme was horse racing in the pub, but we did not eat here. Pleasant atmosphere and quick friendly service.

Great pub in West Ealing for meeting up and food with friends and family. Has a comfortable beer garden at the back. Small beer garden at the front. The bar is still split in public and lounge bar area, you can eat food in both but the lounge area has nice raised seating area for family dinning. The food is good but I was not enthusiastic about my pizza. They have sports TV and include Irish sports too, so a nice touch. Friendly service. Enjoyed their club sandwich with nice potato skin on chips, French fries style. The back beer garden chairs at rightback alcove have been replaced by smaller bench style.

The food is excellent, large portions. Staff are friendly and helpful. Overall one of the best pubs in Ealing .

My first visit here for quite a few years and I'm glad I did. Lovely friendly, v-competent and helpful staff. Food was good quality and reasonably priced. This is a pub that looks like a pub that does what a pub should do. 👍🏻

Amazing looking pub with amazing food at very reasonable prices.

More than Decent pint of Guinness. Cheap by London prices! + discount before 5pm. Food basic Brit and Irish eg. Spuds, Bacon and Cabbage. Professional staff. Respectable and simple Irish pub. Quieter in the bar than Lounge (music)

Went for the live band "Spicezzz", phenomenal band; vocalists accompanying the band were excellent, truly enjoyed the event. It was like being in a concert venue. Great atmosphere, and the bar staff were polite, friendly and professional. Drinks were decent too. I would come again. Seating area accommodated for groups which was great. Altogether, a great evening out. Well worth the cumbersome journey home by public transport.

Great night out . Great music nice people

Usually a really nice chargrilled chicken burger with salad, healthy and decently priced. Tonight, breaded deep fried chicken, not advertised on menu, completely different item. If I wanted that I’d have ordered McDonald’s. What on earth is going on, used to be so reliable

A fantastic pub tucked away in West Ealing. Really friendly atmosphere, An outdoor area that is covered and clean. Great service and fantastic food

Good food, good service. Lovely experience!

Always feels like a weekend in here.

Nice break from the bustle of the street with a great beer garden at front and rear. Steak was lovely, well cooked and everything nice at hot. Did feel it missed some greenery on the plate to make it pop (and healthier 🙊😂) would definitely recommend and return.

Spacious pub with two big beer gardens. Not a kind of historical. The interiors are quite new. Still good for a drink. Usually busy during the weekend. Big screens for sports. Small selection of beers.

Fabulous local pub - recently visited for birthday drinks and dancing with live music on a Saturday night. Great bar staff, welcoming atmosphere and very accommodating to a group of overexcited friends. Thank you for a great evening! Shout out to the band for going above and beyond too!

Excellent pub . Great staff and excellent service. Nice customer's. Great food. Will definitely call again 👍

Good food and beer, good service.

Lovely, spacious pub with very friendly staff. Reasonable prices, too.

Such a wonderful dainty place. Live music on specific evenings and staff are so welcoming and hospitable. Highly recommended

Fantastic atmosphere, great band. Good craic.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff

Popped in with the nephews (6&9) for early dinner there being little else fitting in that area. To be honest, it wouldn’t be my first choice for the kids, (but certainly for me for a few!) but I was pleasantly surprised. After being greeted warmly and drinks for me and the boys got, the friendly woman behind the bar brought out a big tin of toys for the boys which they loved. We grabbed a couple of options for them from the kids menu, and they went the extra mile by adapting the younger child ‘s plate to accommodate his large number of allergies. The pub was busy with lots of old locals, who, rather than frowning at the presence of (well-behaved) children gave smiles and nod to add to the welcome.

The old hat is a very good place to come and have a wonderful Sunday roast dinner, good atmosphere and very relaxing environment I recommend it

Great menu, charismatic staff and all good was to an exceptional standard. We will be eating here again!

🤩Wow wow wow 🤩 went there for my bday treat !Amazing roast lamb dinner great vibes and very good customer service ! Pub lady very kind and lovely to us all .Definitly would love to go there again ! Would definitly recommend this pub for a roast delicious 😋

Lovely looking pub with traditional setup very friendly staff

Surprisingly cheaper than most pubs I've been to in London. Staff are spot on.

Outside seating available and has heaters, employees are very friendly. Their live music is very entertaining, I recommend you to go💓

Love this pub...food is wonderful n hearty. Sundays roasts excellent but please book table...very busy otherwise.

Great pub with great pub food. Couldn't fault

Great live music, cheaper than most pubs and good food

Friendly and efficient bar staff.

It's a cozy indoor area and also some spacey outdoors. Fish and chips was ok.. I enjoyed more chips when I order them as side dish with chicken wings. Red wine tested good though. Nice to watch a sport at the evenings. At weekends they play folk music mostly

Disappointing lack of vegan options, or even vegetarian, on the menu. Apart from a burger and pizza. Previously there were options and they were very keen to cater to various dietary requirements so this is very disappointing. Not everyone wants burgers and pizza while their group eats proper meals!

Very rude staff. We were bought our main before the started. We took the main back just to be abuswd! It had gone cold.

Awful experience. Ordered two starters and mains. The mainstream came out first with the starter only being bought out after we asked. We took the min dishes back and were given abuse and altitude, we were trying to point out the fact the starter should have been first.

Nice place to spend evening with friends.

Great carvery, great pint of Guinness too

Great pub, staff are brilliant, however the food has taken a massive turn. It’s use to be very good but I was actually shocked how bad the food quality has changed. Great for a night out but I wouldn’t eat here again

Very warm welcoming and relaxing.

When we think about celebrations, the old hat Pub is always our first option and it never disappoints. From the starter to the dessert the quality and tastes of everything was outstanding, they also take parties which is amazing. Service was delightful and very professional. 10/10

Definitely worth a visit. This place has been refurbed with no expense spared. Amazing beer garden. A garden that just keeps getting better. Everyone from the bar staff to the customers are so friendly.

Brilliant Sunday lunch … enjoyed every bit of it … plenty of meat, the vegetables were done just right! Will certainly be back for more! Oh and the wine was spot on !!!

Nice pub. Drinks are expensive, West London prices. Only came across this pub as we were going on the Elizabeth line for the first time.

Sunday lunch was good value for money. Veggie option OK. My parents enjoyed their gammon and lamb dishes. Will visit again, I'm keen to see how the live music nights are.

Best pub in this area BY FAR. Cheaper, livelier, friendlier, bigger than all others in surrounding area. Lots of live music, affordable tasty food. Worth an extra walk if it’s further away than your local.

Went to watch my husband's football team with my son. So boring 😂

Lovely staff. Nice atmosphere. Roast was good

Lovely pub... Staff great... Food ok

Ein schöner kleiner englischer Pub in Ealing. Sehr gemütliche Atmosphäre und rustikale Einrichtung mit entsprechendem Flaire.. Das Bier 🍻 ist lecker

Nice pub nice staff food a bit dear

Great friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, good tasty Irish food.

Good old fashioned pub! Good beer, a rocking band and a late licence.

Excellent food and friendly service. Great selection of beers, gins and whisky. The chargrill burger is amazing.

Nice pub, staff were friendly. Nice décor.

A very nice outdoor seating which they claim to be the best in Ealing 😁. Expensive drinks compared to other local pubs. Didn't taste the food there, may be next time will do that. Very nice ambience.

Great music lots of books and a great collection of alcohol.

Sweet old man pub with nice vibe and lovely beer garden. Food is quite tasty too. Vegan options available too.

Popped in for first time in ages and beer good after years of being flat,will pop-in again.

After calling a handful of pubs to see if any tables available to watch FA Cup 2022, this was the only one that had tables available last minute so we set off to travel almost 40min to watch the game and judging by reviews great food. What a disappointment :( only good thing is selection of drinks and the pub being spacious. The biggest let down is the food, I’m pretty sure it’s either all frozen meals or ready-made just thrown into an oven to reheat it. Random crowds. Foggy to screen. Went home after half time.

Most of the bar staff are unfriendly and some are really rude. They should not be in the hospitality industry

The best Sunday roast in west London! Both the meat and the veggie options are sooo good 🤤🤤🤤 Great selection of gin, whiskey and tap beer + my all time favourite Guinness 🍻. Lovely atmosphere with many screens to watch sports and fantastic beer garden! 🔝

Great food and they deliver too! #sundayroast 💗

Really disappointing, used to be great for Sunday lunch but now served as a carvery. Food was cold not just me another customer asked for his to be heated also. Won't be back again . Didn't mind the price increase but expected better quality.

Very very nice pub lovely staff

Excellent Irish pub with reasonable prices. Warm beer garden for winter. Good music choice.

Had a belated Xmas party here with love 2sing choir. We had a great time, a lovely buffet which was fantastic value at £10 per head. Can't praise the staff enough. Every request promptly executed

The pub looks nice out and inside. It is convivial and has its charm. The food is unfortunately not great. My son had a pizza, it was very mediocre, I had the gammon eggs and chips. The peas were not cooked and the gammon was very dry and very thin (probably why it was dry). The staf were good and service was also good

Very disappointing. I’ve ordered from here a number of times and always been pleased. This time however, steak was chewy and over cooked, chips were raw, and cheese had melted all over the box. Got a full refund from Deliveroo. Disgusting and inedible. Also, no peppercorn sauce! You’ve lost a customer old hat. Sort your chef out.

Love going here very friendly good company will see you all Paddy's Day!

Beautiful Irish pub in West Ealing with an amazing beer garden... Denise is an absolute delight. Go for the pizzas, the Guinness and the craic!

Friendly place, nice place to be for a social drink. Staffs are friendly, and welcoming highly recommended.

Bags of character, great place to while away the time with a cheeky pint, or two!

Great food, great atmosphere, friendly and accommodating staff. The live music was a surprise but fun.

A very nice pub in West Ealing. Warm atmosphere, lovely stuff, live music. Reasonable drink prices, I will definitely be returning.

Really excellent interior, great staff.

great looking pub with a nicely decked out area at the back - did not enjoy my pizza all that much - but will definitely come back to try another food as we really like the atmosphere here

Amazing beer garden. However the heating is temperamental

Great food, great atmosphere, good times to be had in here!! Highly recommend

Food came out separately...... and was cold.. some of the roast potatoes still a little frozen

Lovely Sunday Dinner. We have visited this pub many times over the last 10 years. Never been disappointed. Friendly staff, great atmosphere and excellent food. 3 meat roast for the 2 men in my life and Pumpkin and Chestnut roast for me. Yum! Rest assured, you won't feel hungry after your meal, full plate of food. £12.95 for 3 meat roast. Excellent value and excellent food.

Great pub. Good food and drink. Very friendly staff. Very welcoming place.
