The Weir
About
The Weir is a historic 422‑year‑old gastropub nestled on the banks of the River Brent in Brentford, West London. Its charming, cobbled frontage opens to a spectacular waterside garden that overlooks the canal, making it the finest riverside pub experience in the area. Guests can enjoy a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere that blends classic British pub hospitality with contemporary gastronomy—think sage and onion‑stuffed Norfolk turkey, roast Barnsley ham, and indulgent dollops of crab doughnuts. The venue also offers live music every weekend, a seasonal Christmas festive‑al with top‑tier performers, and a range of Christmas and New Year menus that turn the garden into a winter festivity hub. The Weir welcomes both foodies and music lovers who appreciate the combination of a historic setting, excellent drinks selection, and a welcoming community vibe.
