NOT: Old Pack Horse, 434 Chiswick High Road, W4 5TF

Regular HOT OR NOT readers will know that I'm not a huge fan of Thai food in pubs. The food at the Old Pack Horse still wasn't the greatest Thai I've ever had, and my duck curry came out with pieces of slices processed duck - but at least I had the foresight to ask for it extra hot meant so that it wasn't the watery, insipid concotion that's normally dished out at these kind of places. On the plus side, the restaurant had a sunny atrium area and the service came with a smile.
