Kensington Arms, Kensington

I happened across this pub whilst seeking safe haven from the rain this past Sunday. Alex was a gem of a host and what was to be just a quick pint and some lunch turned into an all-night affair as two friends came to join me there later on in the evening as well.

The food was gorgeous and the atmosphere is more gastro-pub than a traditional carpeted and wall-papered environment. TVs throughout made watching the Arsenal/Reading match with the rest of the lot a absolute gas.

Alex and I had some great banter about beer, food and Roman history. What impresses me most about this place is that all food items they prepare are made from scratch, even the vanilla ice cream! Very yummy.

We stayed right until close on Sunday and if we didn't have to board a plane the next day I'm sure we'd have gone back for more.

Thanks to Alex for making us feel at home!! I'll be back the next time I'm in London.
