Fox & Pheasant, Fulham
FancyaPint?'s review...
Situated in a quiet mews near Chelsea's Stamford Bridge ground, this is a brilliant pub. While its proximity to the football ground means it's one to avoid when there's a match on, the rest of the time it's a traditional pub that gives a lot of other pubs a run for their money. Okay, there's only Greene King beers on the bar, but the two bars - one with a dart board, one with an open fire - really are what the English pub is about. It's probably not been updated in some time, but that's most of its charm. And on a cold day, the open fire is worth the visit alone. There's an outdoor area which is a bit of a rarity in a mews, and they do barbies in the summer. Otherwise, there's a limited lunch menu during the week. As the previous reviewer said, it's an untouched gem in an area where most of the pubs chase after the latest trends; the sort of old boozer where it's no great surprise to find a signed photo of Britt Ekland behind the bar.

What a gem! An oasis of a pub in an area that loses good boozers by the minute.
only place in a mile radius that i can get the "warm feeling" a pub should generate.
the back garden could use some work but i am not really complaining. I just cannot give it 5 pints and it is the garden and the lack of London Pride that brings it down to a 4.
nice place to watch the Chelsea games when they are playing away. Not noisy and a nice footie talk is definitely easy to get there with the locals.
A dartboard is also something that a pub should have when applying for a license.
