Reviews
I’ve been coming to The Britannia in Kensington for a while now, and it has consistently been one of the most welcoming pubs in the area. The location is great, just off Kensington High Street, and the atmosphere has that proper London pub feel: relaxed, friendly, and reliable. A special mention has to go to Piyush and Sasha. They are a big part of what makes the place stand out. They are always professional, warm, and attentive, and they make regular customers feel genuinely looked after. You can tell they care about the experience, not just the service. The food is solid, the drinks are good, and the team creates the kind of environment that makes you want to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a proper Kensington pub with great staff and a welcoming atmosphere.
Popped in for a Sunday Roast. Really really good. Food was pretty much as good as could be expected on a busy Sunday service, delicious and well presented. Staff were polite and attentive without being intrusive. Atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Overall a very pleasant Sunday lunch.
Just popped in for lunch. Delicious cauliflower soup and chicken liver parfait; did not get as far as a main course. Wonderful cosy atmosphere and some real ales on tap. Welcoming staff, good service. A great high class pub.
The food was excellent and beautifully presented. The drinks were extremely well balanced. The service was beyond expectation, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere was welcoming, relaxing and cozy. This is the perfect place for a wonderful evening with friends. Raj attentive and ensured I was well cared for; and offered wonderful suggestions for pairing food and drinks. Raj also communicated very well and kindly the hours of operation and in more than sufficient time to make decisions before call. Raj was welcoming, inviting. The evening was a 12/10. When the evening was over, I felt I had spent the afternoon at a spa.
