| This is one of the best pubs in London. It has a country pub feel about it, even though it is in the heart of Kensington. Great beer, great food, friendly service and customers, lovely outside area, lovely inside. Lovely all over really. Let's hope it doesn't change. Greshon - 18 Jul 2008 10:26 |
| This is an estate pub but one with a difference, the estate in question is a secluded and select area off Kensington High Street. Whereas in most estate pubs one might expect shell-suits, baseball caps, cheeseburger & chips and people cashing giros, in this one you’ll find pressed chinos, designer sunglasses, bruschetta & marinated olives and everyone paying with plastic. Previous comments concerning difficulty in getting a table seem well founded as it has always been busy when I have called in. They try to solve this by adding more tables but they are arranged so close together, both inside and out, that it seems difficult to sit anywhere comfortably. I have always found the service to be pretty good even when its busy. The pub has 4 cask beers, Everards Beacon, Pride, Youngs and Old Speckled Hen on my last visit and has Cask Marque accreditation (although I did see them pouring slops into a glass on my first visit). The menu is befitting of it’s clientele including the prices. All this might seem a bit negative but it is certainly an interesting place to go and see how the other half drink. Just when I thought I couldn’t find anything else that so stereotypically sums up the Kensington set I walked into the Gents to find not the latest pages from the Telegraph on the wall but those from Private Eye, priceless.

| Didn't go for food, just a pint... Got there just at the end of lunch and got a table easily. Was only intending to stay for one, maybe two pints. However the Youngs was excellent and that was all the encouragement needed to make an afternoon of it. The staff were friendly and the service was good! maddom - 25 Jan 2008 08:41 |
| well the food is nice. BUT. I went there for the oreo madness (the most amazing dessert in London) and they don't do it anymore!!! same for the Bul's head in richmond! I mean, what are they waiting for??? the oreo madness is a gold mine! why is nowhere anymore? We want oreo madness! we want oreo madness! by the way, at 3.30 the waiter told us to wait until 6 for the oreo madness, and after2 hours of drooling he just came to us saying'oh sorry, I got it wrong they don't do it anymore'. That waiter was just evil. evil. So...well cool place, good food, BUT the best part is no longer there. anonymous - 2 Jul 2007 11:04 |
| The doorman at the Holiday Inn recommended this place to us. Beer good and found the bar staff helpful despite the place being extremely busy (Sunday afternoon). After a couple of hours we managed to get a table for what was a later than planned lunch. Food was excellent. gerry46 - 23 Feb 2007 23:21 |
