About the spot

The Plough is the kind of High Street pub that gets the matchday basics right. Pints come out fast, the garden fills with Bees fans on a sunny kick-off, and the walk from the door to the Gtech turnstiles is short enough to time on a phone. It is not trying to be a destination pub. It is trying to be a good local on a busy afternoon, and it succeeds.

On Brentford High Street, easy to find. Beer garden out back for sunny kick-offs. Bees fans in numbers, loud without being aggro. Short walk to the Gtech Community Stadium. Pub classics on the food menu. Cold lager poured fast for the matchday rush.

Reliable matchday boozer that does the basics right. Cold pints, room to stand, and a fan crowd that is loud without being aggro.

Sunny pre-match in the garden

First pint outside as the garden fills. Bees songs starting up at a friendly volume. A plate of food before the walk to the ground. Joining the crowd heading to the Gtech.

Heads up: the garden is the prize. Two hours before kick-off or you will be standing inside.

Order food early. The kitchen slows down once the garden fills, and you do not want to be eating at 2:55.

What to order

On the drinks side, a cold lager for the garden. A cask pint if you want to slow down. A bottle to walk in with.

From the kitchen, a pre-match burger or pie. The Sunday roast for early kick-offs.

Who it suits

Brentford fans on a London city trip. Groups who want a beer garden. Travelling supporters who want a busy pub. Casual fans who like atmosphere with their pint. Anyone after a quick walk to the Gtech.

The verdict

The Plough is a safe, friendly matchday pub with the best outdoor space within walking distance of the Gtech.
