The Red Lemon, Notting Hill

Booked a birthday dinner for 16 people here on a Saturday. The woman on the phone was very friendly and helpful, and the back room that we ended up in was lovely, but:
1) when we arrived our tables hadn't been reserved (which they sorted out fairly quickly, although the people chucked off the tables looked pretty unhappy);
2) all of the real ales, which was one of the key reasons we went there, were off, leaving us only with Guinness and lager;
3) the food came out over the course of an hour, which meant that some people were just getting their food as others' plates were being cleared! ; and
4) despite being assured by a chap on the phone that they'd be open until at least midnight, they stopped serving at 10.50 and chucked us out shortly thereafter... bearing in mind that we'd only just finished our drawn-out supper!
