I've visited The Champion a few times, and feel comfortable reviewing it. Located on a corner where…read moreBayswater road transmogrifies into Notting Hill Gate, it is the sort of classic pub that Britain is famous for (though they are closing at a rate of 10,000/year, so who knows how long that shall be the case). It has classic dark wood ambience inside, and a small patio out the back of the basement (apparently Queen's lead singer used to be a regular, so this is named the Mercury Bar) Food is ok. Maybe 1 cut below top-tier pub food. Scotch egg was a tad runny, and served with Oxford sauce that is more sour and less good than the HP Brown Sauce it replaces. Lamb Sunday Roast was a bit tough, and came with a paltry 4 roast potato segments of diminutive size. Service is excellent; consistently friendly and helpful. They are eager to fix things when matters go awry. The pub was recently closed for renovations, which seems mainly to have been making a new, larger Gents in the basement, and turning the old Gents' into a 2nd Ladies' room on the staircase. Fellow patrons seem to come more for drinks than food. I like this place, and I'll be back.

This was a decent pub we all had dinner at in London on a Monday. Service is a little different in…read moreLondon. You typically order at the bar instead of a waitress coming to the table. One eventually came to our table after sitting awhile. I of course had to try the fish n chips. A couple of veggie burgers were ordered and a regular burger. Surprisingly happy hour was still on at 8 o'clock so drinks were ordered. The food all came at the same time and everything was cool. The fish had a nice flavor from the fried batter. To me it was similar to Long John Silvers as far as the batter is concerned, but slightly better quality overall. The fries were standard. The only thing horrible was the very bland mashed green peas. They should be omitted from every pub across the country, but I think it is a traditional item included with the fish. The cocktails were good as well as the price. The sticky toffee pudding was something else I was advised to try while in London. I must admit it was really delicious. It came with a scoop of ginger ice cream and a warm buttery toffee sauce to pour over. It was delightfully warm and sweet and paired well with the ice cream. The cake itself was moist enough on its own with notes of brown sugar and molasses. I could have had seconds and thirds of this desert. Yum! The majority of my party didn't think the food was fantastic. The burgers happened to be somewhat alright. This was a first for me having pub food and I would have more again as long as I stick to the basics.

Steak, fries, beers, and more, and not a single healthy thing on the table! And it all looked so good! So, went back a few weeks later and had dinner. I got risotto and co worker got steak pie. Both were EXCELLENT. Also, the bartenders were super friendly and helpful. To sum up - Nice atmosphere, great food and drinks, good looking and friendly staff. My favorite place in the area.

They closed the bar while we were there but said there was no rush to leave while they were cleaning and closing up for the night. The lunch we had the day before was very good pub food. Hot chips were awesome and then chicken tenders cooked perfectly. Wasn't noisy as we were almost the first there for lunch and the last to get there before closing the next night so overall the place was very quiet.

Luckily, it wasn't very busy at the time or she could have easily gotten overwhelmed. Had a Samuel Smith ale and a gin drink or two. Also had the fish bites appetizer, which I loved so much, I ordered another. Atmosphere was pretty cool with unique bar seating and low walk-throughs (not sure how else to describe them). Again, with just the one server, I could see how they could be overwhelmed quickly and service would suffer. But for us, service was very good and she was very friendly and attentive.

Went to the Castle because they were offering classic British Sunday Roast (if you don't know what…read morethat is, it's a big deal over here. Some sort of meat (beef/pork/lamp/chicken/vegetarian option, plus roasted potatoes, veggies, gravy, and Yorkshire pudding (a sort of conical croissant?))). My SO had the Sunday roast customized for her in her inimitable way, but was still not pleased. I ordered off the regular menu, and loved it, so 5 stars! She can set up her own Yelp account if she wants to argue. The service was friendly and helpful (although once the food was served, we didn't see them again. This is kind of normal for UK pubs? I feel like the booze options on Yelp need updating: beer, wine, straight liquor and gin & tonics. Maybe call it Uk pub full bar? No martinis or Moscow mules here.) Our server (south Asian dude, helpful, accommodating, and friendly) was awesome, but so were the other staff (2 nice young ladies of different ethnic ancestry), so basically across the board great service. Weather was great, so we enjoyed people watching from our outdoor seats (Daunt book totes are definitely a thing here. Even when the bookshop in question is closed)

Devonshire Arms was only a 5 minute walk from the hotel I was staying at (Park City Grand Plaza…read moreKensington), so I ended up coming here three times. The first two times were just for a couple pints of beer, then on my third visit, I tried multiple items from the dining menu. The restaurant itself is modern and cozy on the inside with a beautiful dining area outside surrounded by greenery. Remember to order at the counter instead of waiting for the waitress to come around! The service was well paced and each waitress was welcoming and attentive. While I enjoyed my beers, I ordered the charcuterie board, the miso glazed chicken skewers, and finished it off with the sticky toffee pudding. My favorite item was the chicken skewers because it was perfectly rationed for one person. I had trouble finishing the charcuterie board, but that doesn't mean it wasn't delicious! I do have to say that it gets very busy here, so try to come by before peak hours. They also strictly close at 10pm because it's directly located in a neighborhood.

Having said that, I would highly recomment The Magazine for an early breakfast before the crowds arrive. We had the most enjoyable morning, sipping coffee and choosing from a good selection of sweet temptations - cake for breakfast is perfectly OK! They have quite a tasty sounding menu of savoury breakfast items (including the aforementioned omelette). I think I ticked "not suitable for children" when I checked in, and I was wrong. They are perfectly happy accommodating families and don't seem to mind sticky crumbs strewn all over their elegant pale grey carpets. The perfect start to a day in the park. I have previously been for afternoon tea by which time the restaurant is crazy busy and you are lucky to get a seat on one of their shared tables.
