About Chancellors
Comfortable local with mock-Tudor decor and celebrity photos, serving pub fare plus outside seats.
In a building dating from the 1850s, this was a friendly & unpretentious locals' pub, which made it perhaps stand out from the more upmarket establishments in Hammersmith. The bar is located round three sides of a square and the decor is largely dark wood and black banquette seating. The pub is opposite the Riverside Studios site, and its walls feature black and white photos of British film and TV stars from the fifties to the nineties, a heaven for nostalgia fans. Two cask ales and a range of lager pumps.
Post-pandemic, the pub has been pretty much transformed under its new owner. Carl McCluskey took over the pub from his grandmother in 2020 and launched a pizza range, initially as a pandemic-era takeaway. His "Crisp Pizza W6" offering has received rave reviews and international attention, with queues of customers sometimes snaking back to the Apollo. It's walk-in only for seats, no reservations. Pizzas available Thursday evenings and Friday to Sunday from 1pm to 9pm.

Famed pizza - and for a reason. Best crispy pizza I've ever had. So tasty - we had the cheese pizza and the picante. Both excellent. We were walk in - normally queue for an hour before serving time (12pm, 2, 4, 6) due to his busy it is. Recommend booking ahead if you can! Else walk in is OK if you're happy to wait!

What a treat! My daughter booked us for a Friday night “pie” a few weeks back. And thank god she did because it was a full house and they couldn’t take walk ins. Plus the people serving were amazingly nice and the crowd was simply having fun. We got to order our pizzas / pies and the menu was short but oh so sweet in difference, class and taste. We chose a thin and crispy one plus 3 “normal” ones and with toppings like “tequila hot sauce” , how can you not be wowed ofc your feet? Plus, they have a “secret surprise” - their garlic dip….who would have thought???? It’s simply fantabulous!!!! I…

I came here on a weekday to avoid long queues and try the famous pizzas from Crisp Pizza W6. I am happy to say that the trip was worth it. The pub is small and cozy and has some comfortable seats outside where you can eat. If the sun is out (like on the day when I went) you could easily spend the whole day there. It will eventually get crowded so it is worth coming early for walk-ins. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is very laidback. I ordered the Vecna and Picante pizzas and they were delicious and with lots of flavour. I really loved the simple and yet great combination of…

This is a great pizza (normal base, did not have a grandma). Unique dough and super fresh tomato base. On the crispier end of the NYC style spectrum but not past the limit of no return. The walk-in queue is painful on the weekend but good on the weekdays and bookings are 3 months out but its what comes with good product. The actual service is good notwithstanding the variable waiting times. They need to expand operations! Would eat this often because this quality of NYC pizza cant really be found elsewhere.

Came to check the pizza hype. I pre-ordered through WhatsApp two weeks earlier, it was super easy, to the point where I was skeptical it would work. But as we arrived, we were able to skip all the queue of walkin people and went straight to the bar order. There our names were cross referenced with a list and we ordered 3 pizzas which were ready about 20min later. Honestly these pizzas are special and trust me I’ve been on a mission to find London’s best pizza given we have pizza every Saturday. First the Vecna is an absolute treat, the combo of honey and pepperoni just works to my surprise…
