What a great local pub . The beer is well kept and priced about right for the area.The Indian food is good and better than most Indian restaurants I have visted.

Excellent indian food, good bar staff, ok Fullers' beers but what spoils this pub is an unfriendly landlord and his clique
|
This pub indeed used to be much, much better, and was a traditional West London Fullers boozer. It deteriorated from its best in the spring of 1998, when a change of management brought with it not only a change of style, mood and direction but a 50pence-a-pint price hike.
I have visited the Warwick Arms in late 2007 for a curry - the food is not bad, but many of the original fixtures and fittings have been removed and regular visitors of the 1990s have moved on.

Maybe I visited at the wrong time but, even though it was Six Nations afternoon, there seemed to be very little atmosphere and it wasn‘t very busy. In the stakes of how many milk churns, sewing machines, musical instruments and assorted copper jugs you can get in one pub it comes second only to the Churchill Arms but it all seems a bit false. The beer was OK and I’ll probably pop in again if I’m in the area as it’s a proper pub whereas so many nearby have been turned into wine bars serving Peroni and Pinot Grigio.

I agree with Tomi. This is an excellent little pub, and the ales are certainly well kept. The staff were friendly and helpful, and overall it has a great atmosphere. A proper, comfortable little pub.

The drinks are average, but the curry is amazing. The Thalis especially are fantastic. Great curries for under £6 aren't something that you find in many pubs in Kensington!

Not the 'Local'it used to be. Not cheap either but worth a visit if only for the excellent indian food

No, overpriced in the extreem and a set of staff so arrogant that they seem unable to even consider either that the beer is on the turn or that hey made a mistake with your change.
Avoid and go to the Radnor (or even better the C & S
|
Been there only once on a recommendation of well kept ales. Quite a little gem if I may say so. The ESB was lovely and the staff helpful (and very attractive)! It seems like quite a locals pub and was quite empty which was a shame. I will certainly be going back soon.
|
As I am only an occasional visitor to London, this is the first time I have ever had to pay £3 for a pint, though it was a nice ESB. Otherwise fine.

Have tried all the pubs in the area, but only just got round to this one...very pleasantly surprised!
Enjoyed a well kept pint of London Pride, and an Indian meal that would put a lot of curry houses to shame (both served by friendly staff) in this charming pub.
Would personally prefer a few more customers to generate a bit of atmosphere - but if you like a (very) quiet pint, this pub is ideal.

On this stretch of road,there are three pubs very close to each other.This is by far the best. Attracting a quieter crowd than is usual for the area,you can actualy hear yourself in conversation without having to shout above abysmal music that only appeals to the staff. It has its faults of course (the seets are bloody uncomfortable) but overall not a bad little bar.
|
The owners are very friendly (unlike the comments below) and utterly charming. There is a good crowd of locals who drink here and the franchised Indian chefs do a mightily fine curry.
I can recommend this pub - either for a quiet pint or three or a drink and something to eat.

i think this is a lovely pub

I went there yesterday afternoon ( Sunday 12/12/04 ). Pub seemed friendly and welcoming enough but not over busy. Fullers London Pride was on good form , but £ 2.60p. Had Adnams on as a guest beer, which seems surprising as it doesn't feel like a beer drinkers pub. Pub is well decorated with bric a brac - note the jugs hanging down from the ceiling and the old sewing machine and the Watney Combe Reid clock.
There is a subcontracted Indian food operation which is apparently quite highly regarded, but I can't speak from experience.
In conclusion, I consider the pub is worth considering popping into for a pint if you're doing a crawl in the area

Still not welcoming, is someone trying to get rid of customers in order to get a change of use?

This pub is a mere shadow of how it used to be until 18/04/1998. It was only a matter of time before someone who unbeknownst to its history suggested it for inclusion on this site. It used to be a local gem, particularly lively on Saturday nights with live piano music, good food and well-kept Fullers ales. The pub would attract trade from far and wide to enjoy the atmosphere here. On 18th April 1998, having survived 4 or 5 management changes, people arrived to find the pianist unceremoniously thrown off the piano whilst the ill-mannered new manager passed pop CDs around for people to choose. Coupled with this, visitors to the Warwick were further shocked to find London Pride was 50p a pint more expensive than on the previous day. If you are in the area you should go to the Radnor or the Britannia, both of which are excellent pubs.
