We were seated without any real care or attention. The man in seemingly in charge on the night failed to mention that essentially none of the non meat options were available that night. It was only revealed when we went up to order and then our confusion at not being told was treated like an inconvenience on their part. At one point he offered halloumi fries...for dinner. This was our annual family Christmas meal and a real disappointment. We were treated like an afterthought and a nuisance. It was really quite grim for what was once a very special pub.
The food selection was quite limited, and there were several items listed on the menu that weren't available, including some salads that were difficult to interpret. The lighting at the tables was so dim that diners had to use their phone torches. My fish was dry and lacking flavor, and some of the chips were undercooked and hard. My guests mentioned that their burgers were “just okay.” While the 50% discount made it affordable, I won't be returning. It's a shame, as the pub itself is a beautiful Victorian establishment, but it seems to be declining.
We had a lovely lunch. The service provided by the two managers was top-notch. Even though it was lunchtime and the pub was relatively quiet for a Saturday, it didn't dampen our enjoyment. We ordered drinks and a main dish. My only criticism of the food was that the cooked green peas were not great, but aside from that, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, which was a good value for the money. I would definitely come back, particularly for the excellent service.
eating was bad! the fish and chips were soggy and quite small, the part of the pommes was small and the muddy heaps: 2 teaspoons worth muddy heaps! the child tomato paste was shocking: dry, no cheese and cold, not sure if I had given it to a dog if I had one. eating was not cheap either. no care pubs and restaurants close: if they serve like these people, simply not back, I will certainly not!

The restaurant used to be sublime, but now looks dreary, poorly arranged and dimly lit. Although we booked a table, it was almost impossible to get the attention of staff. Finally a table was found, but there was no food available, other than crisps, as they had just served a large party. We were told we could try later.
This pub is definitely one of the highlights on Kilburn High Road. I wouldn't make a special trip just to visit, but if you're in the area and exploring, it's worth stopping by.
Chaos. No bread or spuds left and late, cold and inedible food, Poorly organised ruined many people's Christmas Day lunch.
We book a reservation on 24 December but when we arrive they told us kitchen was closed. No one contact us to inform
