In an unlovely part of West London that has few transport links (still waiting for the promised Imperial Wharf station due to open in 2005) is a funny mix of gasworks, newly redeveloped office blocks and terraced houses. The Sands End gastro pub, then, is a bit of a trek to get to but worth the effort. Eamonn Manson, former owner of the Pen in Parsons Green, has brought in Irish chef Liam Kirwan to give the menu an Irish influence. His experiences working with Rowley Leigh at Kensington Place and at respected gastro pub The Gun shows in the food here. Bread is baked twice daily and meat is butchered on site. Choices include bar snacks of rock oysters, quail eggs and jellied eels and main courses of beef, Guinness and oyster pie or roast hake. Mention of the young princes Harry and Wills frequenting the place should give an indication as to the Sloane-y red trousered types who typically come here. As The Sands End website puts it, "game is delivered in sacks from our customers after a weekend on the moors".
