A lot of the original fittings survive – the panelled counter; a bar-back fitting facing two sides with mirrored panels; and fixed seating along the exterior walls.

Built by the Royal Brewery of Brentford in 1909 with a brown glazed brick frontage on the ground floor and brick above. Its architect is likely to have been T.H. Nowell Parr who was responsible for other pubs for the brewery - the batten beams on the ceiling are one of his trademark features. Originally it had four bars and an off-sales but sadly the partitions that created the separate rooms have long gone – part survives in the servery area on the right. In the rear area to the left is a tiled and wood-surround fireplace from 1909, but the fielded panelling on the walls is a modern embellishment as is the same panelling on the walls in the rear area to the right. The brick fireplace at the front is modern as is the curly metal pot shelf. Another typical Nowell Parr feature is the lovely and colourful leaded lights in the upper parts of the windows, which are certainly worth the effort of looking up to see.

Nowell Parr who was responsible for the splendid Forester, West Ealing, London W13, built in 1909, and other pubs for the brewery. Originally it had four bars and an off-sales but sadly the partitions that created the separate rooms have long gone – part survives in the servery area on the right. A lot of the original fittings survive – the panelled counter which has been painted cream; a bar-back fitting facing two sides with mirrored panels (but only a small section of the lower shelves remain, the rest lost to fridges); and fixed seating along the exterior walls. In the rear area is a tiled and wood-surround fireplace from 1909, minimalist panelling of upright strips and wooden cornice at two-thirds height. The brick and wood-surround fireplace at the front are modern as is the curly metal pot shelf. Lots of lovely, colourful leaded lights in the upper parts of the windows. The pub is near to the Hanwell flight of locks on the Grand Union Canal.
