Each time we've been there they ask about the last wine we bought and how we enjoyed it with food, etc. They take the time to get to know their customers and build a sense of community with everyone that walks into the shop.

The wine is very unique, organic, and exciting for wine connoisseurs!!! The owner, Jesal, is very informative and there's always new great finds.

Great hidden gym, in my opinion!

Taht is, friendly, independent, slightly seedy, different, interesting, and a place for sitting and talking. It's showing its years, but in a way that adds character. Not fancy in any way, it reminds me of bars in France. It'slived in. It's pricipally a wine bar, and there are several type of white and red wine available by the bottle and the glass. Champagne, kir, bottled beer, and soft drinks are also available. There are a few tables for four, a couple for two, stools at the bar, a round window seat for four, and some booths in the back. There are, oddly, two pianos - not sure if they're just for show. There's unlikely to be anyone in here under the age of 25. It's a place for chatting, for speculating, for catching up with old friends. The music is from a stack of CDs behind the bar and was an excellent mix of pop and soul last night. I'm going to spend a lot of time in this bar to make up for the years I've been missing it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?)

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.
