Although this pub is not a listed building, it is on the Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) Local Inventory with an interior of local historic interest, and the description is as follows: "This is a very pleasing building in mock Tudor style. It may well have originated as a Royal Brentford Brewery tied house as it has many of the hallmarks of one of the Brewery's most renowned architects, T. H. Nowell Parr. Namely, Tudor arch windows; faux ceiling beams; and wooden panelling. Unfortunately, it has been opened out and stripped back in recent decades. Note, however, the plaster Tudor roses on the wall in the main room."
