About Central Bar
Airy contemporary pub with regular deals on food and an ever-changing list of real ales.
A Wetherspoon pub opened in 2002 on the upper floor of a new shopping centre. Access from the ground floor is via escalator or lift and through a wide entrance into a long bar area, with the counter on the left and large windows to the right overlooking the Green, from where the external neon-lit signage can easily be seen.
The pub is named after the Central London Railway, the “Tuppenny Tube”, (now the Central Line) which reached Shepherds Bush with a station opposite the pub opened by the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) in 1900.
Seven cask ales are usually on offer with four of them guests that are regularly changed. Real ciders are dispensed from refrigerated bags-in-boxes. The menu is the Wetherspoon standard with the occasional "Manager's Special" being particularly good value for money.
Note that under the terms of the premises licence alcohol may not be sold until 9am. The pub management advises that on QPR home match days, the service of alcohol may not start until as late as 11am.

There's not many spoons within a shopping centre, but this one is. This was my fourth new spoons of the day, and possibly my least favourite. Couldn't fault the swift service, try before you buy and the real ale for under £3

Great food, great prices! A gem for budget-friendly dining. Generous portions that satisfy! You won't leave hungry, that's for sure. Fantastic deals on drinks! Cheers to enjoying quality beverages without breaking the bank. Highly recommend! A place for breakfast - lunch - dinner !!

We went for lunch on Saturday. It was busy. The order process is easy and efficient. I wanted a pizza, but it was sold out. I took a steak instead. I was ok and worth the price. My son took the crunchy chicken burger. It was ok as well. The service was quick. It is a nice place to try when around.

A big bar and that's it. Absolutely banal interior. Very crowded in the evening. Staff OK, varied offer. Nothing special, to hold you back more than necessary...

Ordered the fish and chips last minute before 10:30 . Staff super friendly and nice . Fish was freshly battered but chips cold and mushy peas cold . Didn’t complain as it was ten mins before kitchen shut. Disappointing as it’s my Lorca eating spot. Will go back think the chefs just wanted to go home . Overall great setup whetherspoons
