Lovely neighbourhood wine bar with seriously delicious bar snacks…read more Lovely wine list of clean, interesting wines. Don't expect to drink the boring old NZ sauvy b or bulk Pinot Grigio here. The owners also have a wine shop around the corner so if there is something you really want to drink that isn't on the menu, you can byo from the shop with a corkage fee. Snacks wise, there's cheese, charcuterie, other small picky things like olives and then my highlight: toasties. Truffle and cheese or nduja and cheese. Get both. Staff here are lovely so if you're a solo drinker, sit at the bar and they will make you feel comfortable. They also know a thing or 2 about wine. Also, this place is aesthetically beautiful. Might be nice for a date night...

First comes the honey-twisted salad with thin cut ham, light enough to carry on with 8 more plates. Then the seafood, grilled prawns and scallop are rich flavored and herbs on the topping.

Do make a booking in advance as its fully occupied!

There is no menu, just plates and plates of delicious food brought out to everyone in the restaurant. It's authentic, rich in flavor, and just perfect. It's 10-12 plates that range from meats to fish to antipasti to pasta. I have nothing bad to say about this place other than plan to feast, I wished I'd have skipped lunch. I will be returning!

On weekdays they do happy hour from 5-7 pm and their cocktails and wines are really cheap during this. We ordered an Aperol Spritz first and then moved on to white wine which all tasted good. We got the tempura courgettes, courgette and goat's cheese croquetas and the sweet potato fries which were all very good. Only negative thing was that they added a 12.5% service charge. So even if you go for just one glass of wine keep that in mind!

I thought the camel burger was the best; my husband thought the wild boar was the best. We both agreed that the kangaroo was our least favorite, though not bad. However, the meal is overpriced and the service is exceptionally slow. Normally I would walk out on a restaurant with service that slow and that couldn't be bothered to communicate anything about delay even after 3 requests in a half hour. Also, portions are very small. So I give the place a good review for the mini slider selection and taste but an extremely negative review on its service.

If you are at Park Royal station and desperate for lunch, this is exactly what you need. So long as…read morewhat you need is a glass of generic booze and a microwaved baked potato. One thing The Attic is not is original. The menu has been the same since time immemorial and consists of microwaved spuds, a couple of pasta dishes including the flat, scaldingly-hot, roof-of-mouth-sticker that is their lasagne, thai curry (tinned?) in red and green flavours, chilli con carne, and sandwiches in ham, cheese, corned beef or tuna. Bizarrely for a wine bar, they only seem to stock a handful of different wines, but they also have some lager and cider on tap, and bottled beers including Peroni and Old Speckled Hen. Decor is white-painted woodchip and pale-green contrast colour, with fake beams across the ceiling, and various pictures on the walls including a relic of teenage boys' bedrooms past: a small black and white poster of a soft-focus 1980s model lifting her shirt so that the base of her breasts are revealed with the caption take two of these and call me in the morning. There is a smoking-area out the back under a marquee, fenced off so that you can't see the car park in which it's situated. There are also a few tables outside the front overlooking the small turning circle of what I assume must be Hanger Green (a small green triangle next to super-busy road-of-hell Western Avenue). There's no possible way I can call the Attic good. But I also seem to be incapable of giving it less than 2 stars. Attempting to analyse this, it's at least always clean & tidy - not seedy. The prices have remained as static as the choice on the menu (potato, filling and salad for £3 is a steal for London, even if it is microwaved). I am also quite partial to a flat lasagne from time to time. And, in such a depressing area of the capital, anywhere that serves escape juice deserves a medal. NB: VnF does not actually condone drinking as a method of escaping your problems, even if you do find yourself in Park Royal.

Three words: not so much…read more Given the choice, I vastly prefer drinking wine upstairs at the nearby Whole Foods than I do here. Kensington Wine Rooms just isn't the sort of place you want to linger and chat (really, why else do you go to a wine bar?) And the unpleasant attitude of the staff member who helped us combined with his unwillingness to be flexible regarding seating arrangement in a near-empty establishment makes me not eager to return here.

I had the Smoked haddock, spinach mash, poached egg, grain mustard dressing, which surprisingly a large serving and I only managed to finish half. The poached egg was perfectly poached and the haddock's smoky flavor contrasted nicely with it. SO had the Onglet steak (hangar steak) with hand cut ships and watercress which was cooked perfectly. We ordered a glass of wine to accompany our meal (sorry I can't remember the name but I had a Reisling and SO had a Cab). The Kensington Wine Rooms is a convenient place if you're in the area, need a bite to eat and have some decent wine.
