drinks
Skittle Alley Coffee & Pantry is situated in the old Skittle Alley of The Black Lion Pub, in South Black Lion Lane, adjacent to the river in Hammersmith.
Two local residents opened the space last October in order to provide a community hub, coffee shop, pantry and, on Saturday mornings, a small farmers’ market.
The alley is open every weekday morning from 8.30am-12noon and on Saturdays from 9am – 1pm.
They serve freshly roasted coffee from Ozone Coffee Roasters in Shoreditch, bread and cakes from Sally Clarke Bakery and have an array of carefully chosen pantry goods, many made by local friends and neighbours.
The Slow Food movement have recently endorsed the Saturday food market and the cafe has been awarded “Happy Cafe” status for providing an engaging and stimulating centre for the community.

food
Small 1853 backstreet local, situated in (the estate agents') "Brackenbury Village", which adds to the rural feel.
Acquired from Watney's by Fuller's in 1991, the pub has undergone limited changes since, including combining the bars into one room, opening up the kitchen and extending into the former yard at the rear.
Entering through the middle door, the attractive wood-panelled bar counter, furnished with bar stools and a gantry, complete with snob screens, and an elaborate back bar are directly in front of you, whilst the main seating, with an eclectic assortment of dining tables and chairs, extends on the left to the rear, with piano and fireplace (and a real fire in cold weather) and to the right past the open-plan kitchen.
A frequent entry in the Good Beer Guide, this popular local is an enduring real ale champion, presently offering the more popular Fuller's cask beers, as well some from the keg.
The kitchen prepares a wide range of dishes, both lunchtimes and evenings, at prices considered reasonable for the area.

A mighty fine local with a firm focus on drinking as well as dining From their bucolic riverside home in nearby Chiswick, Fuller’s local influence stretches far.
A fair few of their pubs, including the nearby Stonemason’s Arms and George IV on Chiswick High Road, have been given makeovers, scrubbing them up until their rough edges are replaced by smooth, clean lines, expansive food menus and, dare we say, slightly less soulful places for a drink.
Here, in a villagey spot (known locally as Brackenbury) complete with pretty terrace housing, a butcher’s and a café-deli, you’ll find a Victorian pub offering plenty of room for drinking as well as dining.
A slightly disappointing selection of three ale pumps provide Fuller’s ale staples, and the only nod to ‘craft’ is their own Frontier lager.
There are pies, cheese boards and smart fish dishes but thankfully, the food doesn’t upstage the drinking, with plenty of nooks and crannies to settle in for a sesh.
