    Great traditional English fish & chips . Delicious ! Server also recommended the Rabbit pie & pasta. One of a kind specialty!

    Beer battered Atlantic Haddock and triple cooked chips.

    Lovely pub in a great area. Outside seating is charming. There was a light drizzle so the overhang was extended. I like the QC code on the table edge so you can order/pay at your table.

    Super yummy vegan burger. I was so impressed;)

    Great food, great service, lots of beers on tap and other drinks available. I had the vegan burger like I had last time. Very yummy. The others had fish and chips and said it was the best in town.

    Friday night was fried chicken night. One of Katie B's friends had said the southern style fried chicken was great at this pub, so 11 of us turned up to test it out As it was a cold and rainy night in December, it was busy inside the pub with a strange mix of clientele ranging from the really rather posh to others who were already severely inebriated when we arrived for dinner at 7.30. There's no real segregation between the bar and restaurant areas Our table was reserved but there was a group sitting on it when we got there. However, Charlotte, our waitress was great at reclaiming our dining real estate for us when the allotted hour arrived. The atmosphere in the pub was quite chaotic but the staff did well to take our order The main negative for me was the loud music, which made it really hard to converse and I ended up with a croaky voice the next day due to excessive shouting As for the food, my first comment has to go to the buttermilk fried chicken. It was quite neat to see it served in a fryer basket. They were generous with each order consisting of half a chicken. Brining had left the chicken moist - even my breast wasn't too dried out. The batter was nicely flavoured though I thought that being buttermilk fried, the batter layer would be thicker but it was good, especially for London. I prefer it to the mainly rotisserie style chicken that we get in London My starter of deep fried squid was again nice as were bites of sticky toffee pudding and mac n cheese that I tried from fellow diners' plates The chicken was good but the pub was just a little too noisy and chaotic for me to put it high on my return list

    This looks good!

    Having not been out in the Kensington area before I was intrigued to see what their local watering holes were like. Following a great recommendation from a friend, I thought I'd check it out. The pub had a decent sized beer garden and was quite large on the inside. Selling a range of craft bears and spirits, they also did food. Rarely have I ever looked at a menu and wanted every single thing on it! Handmade scotch egg, sweet chilli squid, salted peppers, brisket, chips and gravy - need I say more? Why not try their deal on starters? Three plates for £14 or five plates for £21.50. It's a great deal, ideal for sharing when you're a bit peckish. The staff were lovely and the atmosphere was great. If you're in the area do pop in with your family or friends!

    Watermelon salad and fried calamari

    First meal in London: watermelon salad w/arugula (arugula is listed as "rocket"); fried calamari. The salad was tasty and the calamari was fried light. Clean, nice ambiance. With 3 others ladies and no one had complaints. The fish and ships were ordinary (not bad but didn't need to order it again).

    I love this place! Went there a bunch of times while I was studying in London - has a very local neighborhood feel. Awesome outdoor patio perfect for warmer nights. The decor is adorable and the food is delicious - typical pub fare with a gourmet flare, and pocketbook-friendly. The cheeseburger and fish and chips were some of the best I had in London. I only wish I'd been able to try more off the menu! I made it to quite a bit of pubs while I was in England, and this one remains my favorite. The collection of available board games is a big plus!

    Really enjoyed this pub that was just around the block from our hotel! We got there around 5 and it was quite busy, had to hunt for a table. But food came out quick once we ordered! There was a cute outdoor patio but it was full. Next time hopefully I'll nab a seat out there!

    £14 fried chicken (4-5 pieces), apple and celeriac slaw, fries and pickle dip. That's some damn good chicken!

    Great atmosphere. Great place for a beer in summer. The food is not gourmet but good comfort food. Prices are reasonable.

    Staff made us feel unwelcome and was flat out rude. Maybe it was because he's French. It has a nice patio for hangin out.

    Cromwell Tavern! I think I'll joke about this place for the rest of my life. My co-worker and I…read morewanted a place to go for a late night drink close to our hotel and this was the only place opened past midnight that we could find. It's at the bottom of a Holiday Inn, or at least, it appeared to be that way, and was a strange mish-mash of a pub. I think it was trying to feel like it was really old, yet it had the strangest collection of furniture and decor. We had a blast making fun of this tavern. Tables were laid out in sort of a weird fashion and at first we were really close to this group of 20 somethings that were fairly drunk and really obnoxious and a woman who was sitting by herself at a table for 6 who was reading a book while her food sat off to the side. The drunk group left and it got nice and quiet and so did the woman who had a better table than we did so we took her table. Nothing we drank was anything we'd ever come back for. There are way too many good pubs in London. Unless everything else is closed and this is the only option, go elsewhere!

    Good meeting place for a drink. Good selection of libations, on tap and in bottle, to slake your…read morethirst. Plenty of seating options and if you want to make it a working lunch, there's outlets nearby to grab some juice while you get some...juice. GF'ers, try the Old Mout Cider - very refreshing. The food looked (and smelled) good but it was only liquid libations for us. Great staff, everyone was friendly. Not sure what the thing about hotel guests only is, I'm sure there were other people here and they weren't checking for room keys.
