Been going to C&S pre match for years now and the time you have to arrive to get a table (inside or out) is getting earlier and earlier, having some mates travel down for the game on sat so can any of the early regulars at C&S advise on what time we'd need to be arriving to ensure a table? |  | | |  |

New landlord has started opening at 1030 now which is probably why. Plus the paucity of other decent pubs.
It usually starts to fill up from midday. |  | | |

I assume your Peroni consumption over the last few years has secured you Premium VIP membership at the C&S and your own roped-off table?  |  |

Plus the Defectors has been closed and doesn't open again until November I believe. |  | | |

Plenty of room in The Pav. Out in the “Garden” or the Conservatory.
Although it doesn’t open till midday and the menu is a bit crap and getting served can take a good while. Plus it’s a bit of a trudge up from The Bush and sometimes they can’t pour a proper pint of Guinness.
Apart from all that it’s fine and dandy. [Post edited 4 Oct 2023 10:58]

Yeh there's a few regulars from there, who post on here, have made that move.
It'll obvs get worse over the next few weeks as the weather keeps people out of the garden and the never ending rugby world cup gets to the point where the games actually matter. | | | |

My pros for the two pubs, although they might be different when the Defectors re-opens!
DEFECTORS
Proper Job (St Austell brewery)
Booking a table
Better toilets
Closer to the underground stations
Closer to the ground
C&S
Better menu (not that I eat prior to a game, but there is no comparison)
Cheaper menu
Cheaper beer prices
Better range of real ales (not always the case, but it was last saturday)
Better mix of customers
Perhaps they even themselves out, but Proper Job & locality are the reasons I will return to the Defectors. I fear that they will change their products, customer base & prices will increase though. If so, it will be back to the C&S! | | | |

The Andover in Brackenbury Village is good - bit further to walk though. |  | | |

Massively underrated boozer is The Askew, on the corner of Askew Road and Uxbridge. I drink in the Crown on match days, but The Askew is my local during the week. Sky & BT, big screens, £4.30 for a Guinness and a decent pint as well. Gets busy before the match I think, but quiets down after and is good craic. |  | | |

Funnily enough I think there's a definite trend of pubs being busier after a win... | |

i've always wondered for those people coming in from the east, how do you usually get to the C&S ? It's a nice pub, but it's quite a trek, unless you're jumping on one of the local buses. | | | |

The quickest way I've found is Hammersmith & City /Circle line to Shepherds Bush market. Turn right onto Uxbridge Road & then left onto Boscombe Road (opposite the Queen Adelaine), continuing till you see the C&S on your right (bottom of the road).
Others may know a quicker way! | | | |

I come in from Walthamstow and this is my route in
Get off at Goldhawk Road, walk west down past the ShepFlo, turn right at Nisbets, take the path down past Hammersmith Academy | | | |

I popped into the Duchess on the Goldhawk Rd after the game Saturday as I had to get the district line back to Richmond.
Probably a wee bit too far for a pre-match drink, but decent all the same.
On the subject of getting back to Richmond, the train from Stamford Brook was rammed with West Ham fans. When did so many West Ham fans come from Richmond way? |  |

Should have seen the numbers at Paddington heading west. | |

The White Horse has been a bit quiet over the last couple of games.Maybe the £4.15 for a pint of Guinness is putting people off.Or people can’t always guarantee that they’ll get in easily might be another reason.
On my usual walk from Liverpool st or Oxford Circus I pass a few pubs quite close to central line stations,but I’ve never tried any of them but it would be lovely to drink out of a glass instead of a plastic cup. |  | | |

I worry about this place. Any time I've been in, not on a match day it's often completely empty. | | | |

The Askew is the best pub nowadays
Cheap and easy to get served | | | |
