The couple who run this pub are very friendly and welcoming. The drinks are good with well kept London Pride (my favourite). The seats are comfy and there are lots of nice little niches where you can gather with your friends and chat. The decor is very unusual - it's like being in the galley of an old ship. There's a pool table and a juke box (which isn't too loud). The food is traditional Scottish. I can't understand why the Daniel Gooch is not more popular - it is everything a good local ought to be.

decent place to go for football. got a big screen and plenty of seats. has black sheep on tap, which gives it a boost. staff are friendly. clientele nice enough, often made up of footballers who have finished playing at the sports centre just down the road. right next to the tube station. not bad, not bad at all.

This is a pretty nice pub (if you're not a snob) Watched the football in a freindly atmosphere and the beer (London Pride) was fine. It's not as posh as the Porchester up the road but much better value.

Umm� It�s a cellar and not a very nice one. They have football, they have a dartboard, they have a pool table and they have the sort of clientele that wouldn�t look out of place in a post apocalyptic horror film, all tattoos, shaven heads and knuckles dragging in the dust. You can literally smell the testosterone mingling in the air along with the smell from the toilets and the aroma of deep-fried something in batter � possibly one of the customers, who knows?
Didn�t hang around long; hate the sound of duelling banjo�s. Possibly the only place I know besides the Eagle in Ladbroke Grove that should have a sign over the door that says: Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

Friendly enough but a bit souless due to its size more than anything. Wish staff had more conversation for all not just the regulars.

I used to be a local for this pub ,and the beer was only acceptable at best and the management was the worst ive ever seen,lucky the locals were ok...

Love this pub! Great service from friendly staff and good cheap beer. It has a pool table used by the regulars who are always up for a game and also a good food menu at graet value for money. You can't argue with that!

The Daniel Gooch is an extremley friendly pub with an excellent landlady in sinead kenney. Great fun can be had around the pool table and dart board areas with regulars who are always happy to welcome new people into the pub. With little to no trouble I have always found the pub to be good fun on any visit there

you can't argue with fosters at �2.20 a pint in that area, even if the clientele is a bit sketchy...

the last old mans pub in Bayswater. 70's barrel shaped establishment with miniature 'beer garden' backing onto the busy Porchester Road. cheapest pub in the area
