We happened upon this pub as we were walking back from dinner. Plenty of tables and nice bartenders. They also have boarboard games. I like that you can order from the table with a QR code We arrived around 10 pm on a Monday night and there were about 6 couples hanhanging out. The only con is where are the dark beers. read more

I enjoyed an after dinner drink and dessert at the Britannia. A little further off High Street, the crownd was mostly local. Our server realized we were pretty relaxed and treated us accordingly. I will be back for meal and more drinks in the future. read more

I came in with some colleagues for dinner. In spite of it being a busy Saturday night we were quickly seated. Our server was super friendly and helpful. He brought our drinks quickly. Four of us ordered fish and chips. And one colleague ordered the burger. We all thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. The fish was nice and hot and had just the amount of crunch. My colleague said she loved her burger. I would definitely come back again. read more

Cute and original place to visit while you are in London It was a walking distance from our hotel and enjoyed the time spend at The Britannia Fish and chips were crispy and well cooked with a good flavor. Cocktails drinks not as good as the food. However still had a good experience. Whenever I'm back to London I will definitely visit this place again read more

Great little pub recommended by the hotel we stayed at close by. I'm glad they pointed us in this direction - not sure we would've ended up here otherwise. Tucked away off High Street, this place is a pretty solid spot for a meal. Friendly staff popped by the table (instead of ordering at the bar) and provided suggestions on choices. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. Pricing was comparable for the area, yet somehow seemed like a bit of steal with the food quality. Overall, this is a pretty great little place. read more

I was famished and needed some sustenance quick. So I whip out my handy dandy Samsung S6 Edge Plus. Tap on the yelp app and found this Gem of a place. Big plus is that it's only a couple of block from my hotel. The dining setting is industrial meets homey atmosphere kind of setting. With arm chairs, couches and proper tables everywhere. It feels like it's a very trendy place to be. It's a bit dim, but not too dim that you can properly see the menu. I ordered the hagis and black pudding scotch egg for my starter. Then the steak and ale pie for my main event. The scotch egg had really great flavors, the coating had a tiny hint of the hagis taste and the rich flavor of the black pudding finishes the dish. Egg was done medium which is perfect. The steak and ale pie was actually very good. The flavor of the ale surfaces quite well with every spoon full, plus the flaky pie crust meshes so well with the roux. Anyways, come eat here because it's such a pleasant place to be. My service I experience was very nice and I would come, eat and spend money here again. read more

The Brittania, Allen Street, is a Young's Pub tucked away just off Kensington High Street. It's a large and spacious pub, and used be a favourite haunt of real ale drinkers in the area. It had a major makeover a few years ago, which involved removing the bar partitions, painting everything a very trendy dark grey-green, and installing lots of leather furniture (including lots of very high stools with high tables). While the result is very slick, and the different spaces work well, I can't help feeling that it's rather lost most of its character: it just feels like any other upmarket bistro, rather than a pub. On a recent visit, it was eerily quiet and a bit lifeless. Despite listing Young's extensive range of beers on their menu, they only had Young's Bitter available, having run out of their summer ale (Waggledance). One area that has also changed is the food: the restaurant is definitely more upmarket, with starters from £4.50-£6.50, and mains from £10-£17, with 12.5% service charge added on top. We've not eaten there, but the food looks decent, and is claimed to be organic (they list their suppliers on their website), and there is an extensive wine list. Expect two courses with wine to come to about £35 a head. They also do bar food in the rather more affordable £6-£7 bracket, 10-30-17h only. So, worth considering for a special meal out, or maybe a quick drink with friends if you are in the area, but the nearby Scarsdale has rather more character, and more beer choices, for my money. read more

Well when you are in Kensington just outside downtown London, this is the place to go for the best fish and chips. You can hang out in the bar as you wait for a table and grab a pint or a nice glass of wine. There is a quaint fireplace in the over 200 year old building. Super cool. The fish was humongous on the plate with a nice crisp and crunchy outside. The fries were bits of steak fries and were so flavorful. I had a glass of cider and it was crisp, light and sweet. This place is a must go if you are on this side of town. Cheers. read more

A great local pub. It was everything I was looking for. Genuinely friendly staff, great atmosphere, relaxed but still very nice. Fish and chips was spot on (and a large portion to boot). Fun groups of locals hanging out. Good selection of beers on tap. Sticky toffee pudding topped it all off. A truly great local pub. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner at the Britannia. The fish and chips were perfectly prepared, the drinks were good (especially the Aspall Cider!!), and the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting! Our favorite part of our dinner was definitely the staff! The bartender was wonderful and even assisted us by taking our order! The server was amazing! He was warm, welcoming, friendly, and incredible service! read more

Popped in for a G&T and honestly to check the place out as the yelp reviews weren't the best and I am so pleased that I did. Service was excellent, very helpful and friendly. My G&T was perfection and my only complaint is that I had dinner plans with friends elsewhere so I wasn't able to stay for dinner. read more

Worst customer service. Went to this place for lunch based on Marriot's concierge recommendations. We got there at noon on Sunday. Met a friendly lad named Josh, he took our order than he disappeared. We explained to him that we just landed, checked into hotel, and were hungry. Took them 1 hour 45 min to bring kids mac and cheese after we asked for food cause kids were hungry. They served people came in 1 hour after us first, perhaps we were Asians. For a Sunday lunch 3/12/17, they ran out of burgers, fish/chips, peas, etc. Worst place ever. We complaint to mgr, food came out 15 min later. Food was ok, lack depth and substance. We were the first family in for lunch. They served people at the bar first. Very disturbring. Would never go back. Would never recommend friends/family. read more

Brilliant neighborhood pub just south of Kensington Road. My bangers and mash were quite tasty - especially when washed with a pint of Camden Hells lager. Service was spot on and it was a great first time pub experience for the gals and Michael. read more

Like dmj1962, I think the refurbishment has spoiled the pub. Most Young's venues have three hand-pumps for their real ales, one for Ordinary (Bitter), one for Special and the other for a guest or seasonal ale. The fact that only two hand pumps have been installed in the new bar seems to say a lot about the direction they seem to want to take the pub it - ie, becoming more of a restaurant. That's a pity, as before it used to be really busy on most nights of the week, and it now seems much quieter. It seems rather soulless - too clean and modern for my tastes - whereas before it had some character, and by that I don't mean sticky carpets and smoke-stained ceilings - it was your average traditional pub. Oh well, that's progress, I suppose read more

Great local pub with delicious refined (and often organic) takes on traditional pub food, and a popular quiz night on tuesdays. Large space with a conservatory at the back for better weather - staff is friendly and helpful as well read more

I will start off by saying that I never had the chance to eat or be served here, this review is in regards to the manager on Christmas Day. My family and I made reservations for Christmas Day through Open Table. When we arrived all dressed up for Christmas diner with our reservation confirmation number, we were surprised to find that while the restaurant was full, the kitchen had closed and they were no longer serving. I do believe that it was due to a glitch in the system with Open Table that we were allowed to make the reservation and not the fault of the restaurant. It was what happened next that was so disturbing. We waited in the doorway while the manager told us that the kitchen staff was no longer serving and we could not get food. Fair enough. He did not invite us in to the restaurant, so the five of us stood in the entryway with people shoving by us, while he wanted to see our reservation number to figure out the glitch. I can understand his wanting to understand the problem, but it was Christmas Day, raining, we had said goodbye to our taxi, and we and our three children had nowhere to eat. We are from the US and we know a little of London, but not enough to navigate this one. Most things were closed and transportation was scarce. He never offered to help us find a place to eat, to get a taxi, to help us in any way. He told us there was a hotel about 5 blocks away and sent us out in the rain to walk with sketchy directions at best - with three children! I want to note that at no time were we rude or unkind. We never raised our voices and I think we simply had looks of shock the whole time that we had no Christmas diner, three children in need of food and no one was willing to help us. Our stunned silence was about as nasty as we got so his reaction was not in response to our being rude in any way. This was Christmas Day for heavens sake and there was no room in the inn, so to speak. He just let us scramble in to the night, happy to be rid of us with no where to go for Christmas. It was really sad. read more

The service and lack of greeting at the door left little to the imagination as to why the locale was empty at prime dinner time in a thriving neighborhood. So much in the way of missed opportunity here. There is a bit of charm to the place which is totally negated by the staff. A recommendation from the hotel that will unfortunately impact them as well. Hope your experience is different than mine... Cheers! read more

We had a fantastic Sunday roast (pork), and the bangers and mash weren't too bad either. It's a cute little find off the main road.

I wanted to love it, because it's so attractive, but the food was a but of an expensive disappointment. The fish (species?) was oily and left my fingers smelling really fishy. The chips were just ok. The squid salad was tasty, but small small for £7.5. The cesar salad was good, but also expensive. My mate had the steak pie, which he liked a lot. It looked really good. His wife had the burger, which was just ok. All in all, a nice place to have a glass and the meat pie read more

Very cool atmosphere but very disorganized. Came by starved and they refused our family service and said the "kitchen was closed". Apparently they only make 50 meals or something??? Too many other great places to eat in this area to waste your time. read more

A little off the main drag, this Young's pub was recommended to is by a couple of its regulars. We were not disappointed. The beer selection and the food on the menu were a cut above a number of other London pubs we have visited. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to any friends visiting this wonderful city. read more

Perfect suburban pub! If you want Ale-battered Haddock and Chips with a nice pint of whatever ale suits you, then this is the place to go! Atmosphere is relaxed. Lots of different seating areas. Bar staff is very nice! I was by myself and felt very comfortable at this pub! read more

This place is a classic English pub but cleaner. There was a fire place and couches which make this place cozy. I can't add anything on the food as I didn't dine here but I am willing on having a try! read more

Although stuff was friendly and kind, not sure their put the priorities in order. We went to the Britannia for dinner with reservation on a Friday evening. All our orders delivered fairly late, especially our main course took 1hr 45 mins, while our next table changed 2 groups of people who had dineer as well. In addition, they totally forgot to serve the side dish order. In the same time, my bream fish grill was delicious. read more

Preface: I didn't actually eat here, I just met some friends for a drink. Its a charming pub off of high street kensington that has a very friendly atmosphere. Apparently its been renovated recently and it is quite cosy with lots of tables, some more relaxed sofa seating and a fireplace. The menu looked good, and I can certainly speak fots nice wine selection. When we left there was a crowd gathering for dinner so I think its worth a trip to try the food. Its a nice place to meet for after work drinks. read more

I quite liked this place but the missus did not. Perhaps it was too quiet when we were there. I liked the comfy furniture, the general decor, and the staff were friendly. I especially liked getting Meantime London Lager on tap, I just love that stuff. There was a real mixture of clientele - the old geezers stood silently at the bar glancing at a TV in the corner, a young couple with a toddler, two oldies who had just been shopping, and some 30 something couples. Pretty subdued and just, well, quietly relaxing. I think this is one of the better pubs in the area, but I doubt it will actually win a "Best W8 Pub" prize just yet. read more

Very rude people work there. We went twice and both times the guys behind the bar were rude.

Loved it. Beef pie was spot on. The wife had the sirloin... Also great. Bartender was great. Nice spot.

soul-less pub, usually very nice food, occasionally has an off day and comes up average. a reliable place to meet friends or colleagues for an easy after work bite to eat and catch up.. not too loud so can always have a decent conversation, and service is reasonable too. read more
