We’ve spoken to our staff and put together a list of the best pubs in Brentford – including special consideration for pubs near Brentford Community Stadium – check it out.

The Royal Horseguardsman

The Royal Horseguardsman a charming local pub and undoubtedly of the best kept secrets when it comes to pubs in Brentford. Although rather unassuming from the outside, the site has hosted a pub since 1888. Indoors, it’s a picture perfect establishment, and it’s regularly packed with people watching live sport. For a lovely afternoon, pay a visit to the small pub garden and try a pint of Guardsman.
