Mediocre. The Deuchars was off, as was then the Broadside, both of which were poured with a degree of ineptitude. One other ale available (or should I say the clip was on), so we decided to cut our losses and leave. Far superior options in Notting Hill, and not just for the beer.

Located just far enough from the main tourist drag, this pub attracts an interesting mix of customers. The decor is simple and the walls are covered in all manner of assorted images from days gone by which definitely add to the pub's personality.

They usually have three ales (Youngs, Bombardier and Deuchars, I think), but yesterday the Deuchars was off. The Kronenbourg Blanc was off too.

This is not a spectacular pub but it has a certain type of odd charm. Add this to the fact that it's not very much on the tourist map and it's a pretty decent bet for a relaxing pint. I always find the bar staff to be friendly too.

All in all I would say that the Hillgate is definitely worth a visit (especially in summer with the tables outside and when all the windows are open).

This used to be called The Johnston Arms until the late-70s

Great pub and friendly barstaff, always a large gathering of locals with stories to tell of monkeys and wizards! Very lively in the summer spilling out on to the street. Will definately go back
