| Amazing pub in Kensington. Really olde wordly, with an impossibly low door from one bar to the next, and a lovely big tree in the delightful beer garden. One of the very best. Kensington is blessed with great pubs. Greshon - 18 Jul 2008 10:28 |
| I went to this pub with a group of people (some of whom had come from as far away as Holland, Belgium & Italy), who had booked a reservation for us which would include a meal there. On arrival, we were told we were not welcome because our party contained a couple of minors (who would not of course be drinking alcohol) - a fact which had been discussed at the time of booking, & were told it would not be a problem. The reality was, the Landlord, as surly a piece of work that could have stepped from the pages of a Dickens novel, insisted that he would not honour the reservation. His reason? He claimed that this was a completely inappropriate pub for minors, as the Saturday night clientèle were loud, drunk & aggressive, & there could be bottles or glasses smashed & fights breaking out. Really! Some recommendation! Given his desperately unpleasant demeanor, we decided to leave, but not before the landlord had engaged in a furious argument with members of our group who had had the temerity to buy soft drinks for the minors who had been waiting outside. The pub itself indeed has a very 'cosy' & traditional feel to it, very comfortable surroundings, if a little small (cosy=small) & has a decent selection of drinks available, but is seriously let down by its surly & unhelpful staff. Having read these reviews before posting this one, I see that this is a recurring theme, & one that could seriously impair the standing of a pub that once had a very good reputation.

| I am glad to see SOMEONE remembers "The Bard" (Michael Mannion). I often wonder what people make of that photo, which was taken in 1983 in Durango, Pais Vasco, where I now live. Mind you, many people from here pay a visit to the Windsor just to see the picture -- because THEY know THE OTHER TWO GUYS in the photo!!! Seanog - 27 Jan 2008 13:26 |
| Nice, quirky and surprisingly uncrowded on the Sunday afternoon I visited however the barman's a grumpy bugger who could do with a good hair cut. cfcmark - 13 Sep 2007 11:37 |
| Excuse me... but this is Beer in the evening !! it seems to have turned into some bloody restaurant guide...IT'S A PUB !!! and as such it has three real ales on but usually only two but if the Timothy Taylor Landlord is on it's excellent, the only downside are the chinless wonders and Hooray Henrys that get drunk on a bottle of Magners, and talk about scharfing ???? lovesong - 31 May 2007 19:49 |
