| This is just around the corner from Notting Hill Gate Tube. We went on a Thursday night and it was busy but not packed, so we could chat and all sit together. The seating is big leather sofas and posh red and gold chairs - comfortable and looks inviting. Chandeliers are a nice touch. Friendly bar staff, decent list of food and nibbles (snacks like onion rings are about £2.50, but this is is Portobello). Also has lots of copies of the wine list, which is pretty good. The Sauv Blanc at £5 a glass is decent, and even the cheapy house white is palatable. One last thing - the music played was right up my street, a mix of mild 90s (You're Still My Sunshine), Lilly Allen and the Scissor Sisters, etc. I also heard that there's a very attractive garden (it was cold when we went, so we stayed in). Totally recommended but don't expect a cheap night! tinyclanger - 11 Jul 2008 16:59 |
| Regularly visit this pub if in Notting Hill, used to have a great Open Mike night on Tuesdays, remember a young American Girl serenading her boyfriend Darryl one night. It truely was amazing. Unfortunately the open mike night has now finished. Food worth a try!!! Did Darryl ever ask her to marry him???? Mermilloboy - 13 May 2008 12:57 |

| Pleasant busy pub. Full of tourists on saturday but nonetheless seems to function well. Nice garden and playing some decent music. terenced - 5 Nov 2007 08:05 |
| Have been popping into the Sun regularly for the past 5 years, and for the first time the staff seem friendly! On my last visit in 2006 there was a miserable manager and even more miserable staff. It is the best pub in the area, no question. What it lacks in size it makes up for in personality. The beer is well looked after, the guy working told me that they have just recieved a cask marque, and reasonably priced for Portobello. Food is good, if a little uninspired, and service is fast, even when busy (due to the size of the pub, one suspects). DO NOT MISS THE GARDEN - very secluded but beautiful. jimmyjam - 3 Aug 2007 14:09 |
