Went to the PB last night for friend's birthday. It was particularly busy, but then you expect that for a pub in this location on a Saturday evening. I thought the selection of beers was fantastic - a few friends deciding to get stuck into the pink Fruli. I recommend the food - the 10oz beef burger came with the kitchen sink and even for a big eater - it was a struggle to consume! The bar staff were helpful and attentive in the most part. The patrons were a bit la de da - but not generically too pretentious to cause aggrevation. All in all a decent venue with warm and bustling astmosphere.

will never go back here. reviewed before. first time i went here was in 1996. It was great! Now the crowd is full of "new Notting Hill" types who wear high heels and jeans on a Sunday, order champagne like it's going out of style (it IS out of style in a gastro pub or pub, save Champagne for a nice meal in a restaurant).

If you want to be surrounded by the new Notting Hill types (real estate agents) then definitely go here and the Westbourne, you'll fit right in. If you're part of the old Notting Hill fun, funky artitistic set (or actually have some style without having to flash cash about), AVOID at all costs.

Place and staff attitude seems to have improved a ton. Was there Friday 16th Nov and had a good buzz about the place and - shock of shock - smiley staff. Must be a new manager or something.

The service at this place is really awful. The waitresses are a law unto
themeslves. I was part of a party of 10 people and one of us actually went to the trouble of writing down the order and giving it to one of the waitresses. About half an hour later only 8 meals were served. When asked about the other 2 the waitress who took the order blamed another waitress. When a firm complaint was made to her (which was not in the least aggresseive) we suffered an OTT rude reaction. After a further half
hour of waiting the manager eventually held his hands up and agreed to take a significant sum off the bill.
The food when it arrived was ok and reasonably priced.
The service however lets this place down so much. Pity.
The worst thing about it is that the management do not realise how bad the service actually is. One to avoid until something changes.

This is a pub for prime bell-ends. The food is a joke, the beer is none too taxing. Full of real-life west-london trustafarian Nathan Barleys. Which is a real shame as it has the potential to be a great Victorian street-corner boozer. Which I'm sure it was once upon a time.
