Stopped by on a business trip…read more Good food, good beer, friendly service. I would definitely stop back again. A little pricey, but when on expense who cares!

This is the pub I mostly try to avoid having to visit in Hendon. The drinks are extortionately…read moreexpensive for the area (i.e. expect to pay over £5 per drink for spirits and mixers), and there are no cold soft drinks at all, they are all on shelves behind the bar, and the fridges are used only for alcoholic beverages. I had expected this to mean that a soft drink would be cheap, but it is not. You are served a mini bottle (less than half a pint) of warm coke and charged about £2 for it. The staff do not seem bothered about the nasty warmth of their drinks, I just got a shrug and a kind of "that's just how it is here" response. The food is probably the redeeming feature, being reasonably priced and tasty hearty fare, if a little bog-standard pub grub (but then it is a pub!). The only problem here is the seemingly random amount of time you wait for it. Sometimes the food comes quickly, and other times you find yourself asking what has happened, and after some embarrassment on the part of the staff, find that they have forgotten the large group of you all sitting there looking hungry. The interior is clean, well maintained and comfortable, with a large number of tables and chairs so you can sit down to eat. It is however very dark inside, not so much a problem at nights, but it seems very dark compared to outside during the day, making it a bit weird to eat lunch in. The pub shows sporting events on big screens, which are much larger than usual pub screens, though if you aren't there for the sports, you might want to avoid the pub on these occasions as it becomes very loud and crowded at these times, or you could sit outside and watch the world go by on the tables they have out on the street. Overall, not somewhere I go unless I can't force an alternative!

As Yelp is all about food, it's time to add another star here. The new bar/cafe is a winner and…read moregood enough for a detour if you don't happen to work at Westbourne Studios. They have a daily menu including a hot main, a soup as well as a tart served with or without salad. You have to be quick for the salads (currently a selection of two, here's hoping they'll add more soon). There's also a good choice of sandwiches, all reasonably priced. There's plenty of seating and free wifi (not the best connection, mind).

Underneath the Westway is literally underneath the westway (the A40). Tucked away inside Westbourne…read moreStudios, on the same road as the old Subterania (yeah!), during the daytime this bar / restaurant serves the creative folks who dwell in Westbourne Studios. The studios operate as as a collective of offices, predominantly filled with fashion designers, film companies and PR types. During the daytime and at breakfast, the restaurant serves quite a simple, but tasty menu of english breakfasts, salads, burgers, accompanied by fries and coleslaw. They also stock a large range of herbal teas, soft drinks, coffees and snacks.

Terrible horrendous wedding venue…read more Recently attended a family friend wedding Mic is broken, they make false promises to get your money Sound system is cheap and sounds blurry You have to use your phone to connect, laptops dont work ever Toilets are tiny, next to kitchen in same corridor No equipment actually works Broken plastered walls, cheap flooring on stage, looks mangled and a trip hazard. Food service is 3-4 hours long and slow Manager is a total ghost and once you have paid, they do not care

i wish I could rate zero and I also wish I read the reviews before I went with the venue. The…read moremanagement and staff are beyond incompetent and rude. Do not book your wedding here. They will ruin your day. The security guard was the only helpful person on the day. In fact, he was the only one present on the day from morning to night. I was promised that haider, one of the staff members would be present to help, but he was not there and would not answer any phone calls. I had to go through the office entrance which according to security wasn't supposed to be open, as there was no one to let me in and there was no one answering the phone. My registrar had to get hold of a signing table as they had forgot to put one out for my civil ceremony. when confronted about this, I was told by haider that i didnt tell him I was having a civil, even though I have clear written and verbal proof that I did in fact tell him, I'm having a civil ceremony at 12pm and need a signing table. When confronted, bilal was rude and told me I am blackmailing him when I asked for a form of compensation. They are fraudsers and scammers. Do not go with this company for your wedding.
