Fulham Arms, Fulham

This part of West London has few transport links and is a funny mix of new apartment blocks on old gasworks sites, office blocks and light industrial units, and terraced houses in quiet leafy streets. The Fulham Arms gastro pub, then, is a bit of a trek to get to but worth the effort. The pub aims for an upmarket clientele, and it is perfectly possible to have a drink without needing to eat. Three ales from the Butcombe range may be expected.

The extensive food offering includes brunch, Sunday roasts, lunchtime baps, and a kids' menu. The pub states "We ensure our menus emphasise our ‘field to fork’ concept and feature the best local and wild seasonal ingredients that have been responsibly sourced."

Note that the operator runs the Butcombe Loyalty Club, giving subscribers a range of benefits including 25% off food on Wednesdays and 20% off accommodation at all Butcombe Pubs and Inns across the country.
