The Crown & Sceptre, Shepherd's Bush 57 Melina Road, London W12 9HY

"A gorgeous, friendly pub - the beer garden is so gorgeously decorated. Always has a lovely atmosphere whatever day you visit. Staff are lovely and drinks are decent. The Thai kitchen is a must too. Best Thai I've had in ages!"

"Food here is amazing! Time and time again!Traditional Thai food cooked by Thai chefs this is one of my favourite places I definitely recommend the pad Thai (everywhere else I try pad Thai has brought disappointment since I found this little gem!) staff are friendly and it’s a welcoming pub with lots of outdoor space I have written this review after coming here many times ☺️"

"Excellent local. Beer, wine and spirits all very satisfactory. Service good and unobtrusive. There is a nice combination of inside and outside space so you've the choice of the type of seating experience and different kinds of company so you can have a quiet or slightly more lively visit. Can't comment on food but posters suggest they have a good line in food and it's not just the standard pub fare."

"This Fuller's managed pub is just on the outskirts of Shepherd's Bush. As a fan of the 1980's BBC series 'Give Us A Break' this was a must visit and did not disappoint. Although the interior has changed significantly since then it is very smart inside plus the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The London Pride was spot on and the food was an extensive Thai menu. Had the Mixed meat Pad Kee Mao with was full of flavour and was a good portion for the price. A fantastic hidden gem in the back streets of Shepherd's Bush"

"The Crown & Scepter is one of those rare backstreet neighbourhood pubs that survived the storm of closing pubs across the country through sheer quality. The reasons it survived are its amazing quality authentic thai cuisine, its great range of beers and its large and comfortable in and outdoor spaces. Its also typically not completely packed out allowing for drop in visits in a time of having to book ahead, even on a Friday night. I would recommend anyone in the area to take the extra steps to visit."
