To be honest, I don't rate this pub that highly on it's atmosphere, brick walled beer "garden" with no view - or the actual bar.
What do I like about it? The f*ck off massive Great Dane - Ben who's owners run the pub. The size of a horse with the heart the size of a football - he's totally gorgeous and worth a visit to the pub based on a meeting with him!

This is a recently-refurbished, fairly large pub and food place tucked away on a quiet Fulham street.
The decor is pleasing, with plenty of tables, some sofas and a secluded back room, as well as a large outdoor area out the back. It's clean and friendly, and it's always easy to get served at the bar...which brings me to the defining factor of The Cottage.
I have no idea how this place manages to stay open. Whenever I've been in there, it's been absolutely deserted. Don't get me wrong, this is no bad thing, and Fulham certainly has more than its fair share of rammed establishments, so being able to walk in off the street and straight up to the bar to be served is not only a first for the area, but a pleasant surprise. But it does make you wonder how long it will be able to last.
The food deserves a special mention, because it's impressive, especially the desserts - though I'm not sure that refried Nachos are a good idea...
