Goose & Granite

This pub was down the street from where we stayed in West Kensington for a week. The men in the family visited there several times, and brought the whole family twice. It was fun to get the flavor of a local pub where the Chelsea FC rules. A lot of vibrant fans.
The food was enjoyable and the atmosphere of locals very interesting for people watching.

Goose must be one of the best value pub within sw6. The pub offer excellent value food and drink. Burgers and grills were the most valuable offer. The pub boasts of great space and a nice beer garden inside. The staff in the pub was very friendly and the pub was well maintained. It was one of the best to go, especially for match days. If you want to go out for dinner and want save money, it was also a good place to try.

The tags pretty much say it all, to be honest. There isn’t a lot that’s noteworthy about the Goose; it’s certainly cheap — or at least by London standards — the food is actually pretty good, standard ‘pub grub’; and they show sport on the TV. Other than that it’s just… a pub. There is a hideous carpet, random old men, cheap beer offers, and a limited range of real ales.
To its credit, it manages to be both very large and possessed of cosy nooks; one can squirrel oneself away in a corner with a book, although why you’d want to is an open question as the atmosphere is not really that of a laid-​back, slow-​moving local. Most of the staff are competent and fairly friendly but too frequently you’ll be served by someone who, well… isn’t either. Be aware that the Goose does generally ID people as a matter of course, particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Overall, I’d hesitate to recommend the Goose, unless I were looking for a cheap and filling pub lunch.
