| Chose this pub for lunch (group of 10) last Sunday because of real ale selection and proximity to the Royal Albert Hall. Beer selection was good (5) and Doom Bar was excellent. Food was above average. Will return next time we are going to RAH. Only grouse was we had to ask for glasses to be topped up as some were well short after settlement (it should be done without asking) and bar staff could have been more friendly. inmyopinion - 15 Mar 2011 09:37 |
| This pub was bustling on my Friday night visit and with quite a young crowd. Nice atmosphere, proper pub feel, service was reasonably prompt and quite a selection of hand pulled ales. Couldn't see anything of historical or architectural note ( then again, what do I know about such things unless i've read about them elsewhere first !!!). But seemed to be a nice pub and popular. tarkatherotter - 28 Nov 2010 09:41 |
| I've been going to the Queens Arms on and off for ten years or so, it's got a great location, sadly the classic car garage opposite has seen it's last days. During term time there's a mix of students from Imperial and the RCA there, a lot of museum staff too. Sadly, you can't help but feel it could try harder these days. Firstly there is a the dodgy (i.e. not working) pay-to-use cash machine in the corner, this is Kensington not Kingston! The place could do with a lick of paint and a check on the drains too. Still the place was quiet and the rainy Saturday afternoon was cheered up by the incredibly posh old couple enjoying a fish and chip supper who we chatted for an hour or so. Will no doubt visit again, hopefully it will be better next time. randompubgoer - 26 Sep 2010 21:47 |
| Pros: This is a great little pub in a very picturesque mews. Cons: I've been to this pub many times both when the place is rammed and quieter periods... The service is TERRIBLE no matter what. Conversing with the bar staff is like a scene from fear and loathing in Las Vegas. The food is sketchy - who would serve a burnt bit of toast (this happened more than once!) and scrape off the charcoal? The beer selection is average at best. Conclusion: I'm hoping for new management as I love this pub - but the staff really ruin the whole experience. fivelines - 9 Mar 2010 17:51 |
| Excellent pub. I tried Fullers London Pride and Adnams Abbey on draught on a wet and windy Monday afternoon. A real pub with bare pine floors and very busy. Superb venison sausages, mash and onion gravy. By the time we left for the Royal Albert Hall, the place was packed from wall to wall. Need more bar staff though. Paul_Rochdale - 9 Dec 2009 14:32 |
