Smallish, unpretentious backstreet pub in a side street parallel to the main drag and close to Notting Hill Gate Tube.

Outside on the wall, a sign proclaims " convivial company awaits with a warm welcome" which reminded me that, on my previous visit several years ago, I ended up in conversation with a couple of elderly locals who both looked and talked like the Major in Fawlty Towers. On my lunchtime visit last Saturday, there were several groups of tourists in, but no majors and not one person who seemed to be a local. This struck me as unusual as the pub does not go out of its way to attract tourists, nor does it really try to cater for them.

It's a pleasant, traditionally furnished, wood pannelled carpeted single bar with a collection of prints and plates on the walls and, most noticeably, a framed soldiers tunic that looks quite old. There's no TV, music or other distractions.

3 real ales were on - Harveys, London Pride and St Austell Tribute. The Harveys - £ 3.05p - was spot on. The Pride and the Tribute were noticeably more expensive ( £ 3.20p - £ 3.25p ). The pub has had GBG listings in recent years and is in the current 2010 edition.

It's not a pub to go out of your way to visit, but I would make a point of calling in if passing through.

Still the best pub in Notting Hill Gate. 3 well kept ales, efficient and friendly service

Still as relaxing and real as ever. Not the greatest range of beers but always a pleasure to drink in.

Some of the older characters are no longer with us but the pub is infused with their memories.

Until the next time; cheers.

Good to see The Uxbridge old guard are still in attendance, but not so often.The credit crunch has affected their colonial/armed forces pensions, but "We will carry old boy, chin chin". Ali and Hassan are still the best bar staff double act in London. A good selection of real ales, but the best pint is still London Pride. Nice to see that gaming machines and music are still on Linda's 'Not while i'm the Guv'nor' list.The well heeled ladies, of a certain age, still cruise on a Friday night looking for a 'tradesman' to assist with something which needs some attention. Who said playing 'swops' was only while you were at school? A younger crowd are starting to discover the joys of The Uxbridge, a few nice young fillies, according to one retired gentleman. Pass the viagra, dear chap. No more clues...

Drank here on a crawl after getting stuffed at Twickenham and the Harveys was PURE NECTAR.Tribute & 1 other that escapes me were also on.A thoroughly enjoyable visit was enhanced by the friendly atmosphere and good service.Try it if you're in the area.
