Despite claiming to have got an award for its beer this pub has not got the consistency of either the crown & sceptre or the radnor. Even their cider tastes like it has not been cleaned in months. No pride in their pride!!

No, it's awful! The beer is overpriced and badly kept and its like drinking in a departure lounge.

There are lots of much better pubs nearby suh as the Crown and Sceptre.

The wrong place full of the wrong crowd with the wrong beer at the wrong price. (Food was ok mind.)

This pub is fantastic the Managers Sarah & Liz along with all the staff are very polite. The food is very good with the 2 for 1 offer still available on Monday's and a super Sunday Roast. They still have a Pool Table available with the occasional Live Music night. If you have not been to this pub in the last 12 months it is now well worth a visit to see the changes. The customers are very cosmopolitan with visitors from various parts of the world. If you fancy a night out with a few friends in a cosy atmosphere and good background music so you can still talk to each other. Give the Kensington Tavern a try, You will not be disappointed!!

I reserve the right to change my mind, but I have been here three times in the last couple of months and not found much wrong with the place. It hasn't been reviewed for a while, so maybe it's changed management... But whenever I have been in the staff have greeted me - note this is unusual in many London pubs where "the surlier the better" seems to be the rule - and served a decent pint. The food deal on Monday (2 for 1) was pretty good and the food well within the "good" range. The music was not turned up to blasting, and these were all "weekday" evenings, so perhaps the fighting is reserved for the weekend? In any case, this will soon be my local, so if I change my mind, I'll let you know.

been to this so called pub twice ( twice too many) dodgy pipes, dodgy pool tables and dodgy punters. Live entertainment good though, best pub fight i've seen for quite some time. Recommend avoidance
