🚇High St Kensington 🍺 £6.10 Pravha ❤️ A cosy oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Kensington High Street. . The Elephant & Castle is located in a quiet side street not far from Kensington High Street. The nearest tube is High St Ken which is just a few minutes walk away. Be sure to walk up atmospheric Kensington Church Walk to get here, you won’t be disappointed. . Not be confused with The Elephant & Castle in SE1, this Elephant & Castle pub is in Kensington. It occupies a corner plot amongst the cute independent shops and upscale properties that surround it. . Inside it’s a warm and cosy affair, this pub has a local village pub feel to it. The walls are clad in dark wood panelling which have pictures and photos of local history. The seating is made up of sumptuous sofas and benches which make for a comfortable stay. The bar is centrally located with a couple of columns in front to perch your elbow on, at the back of the pub is an intimate snug with a few stools overlooking the bar. . This is a @nicholsonspubs pub, so you know the beer line up will have something you fancy on it. I opted for a Pravha, my pint was decent and just over average price. The food menu is traditional pub grub with an emphasis on hearty pies, fish & chips costs £17.50. The service here was spot on, the pub was busy and the staff coped admirably and did so with a smile. . The atmosphere here was great, the pub was busy inside and out, there was a upbeat buzz all around. If you have a strong quiz game, why not visit on a Tuesday to try and secure a £40 bar tab. . The @elephantandcastle_kensington is a superb pub with a warm and cosy feel. This pub is a perfect place to visit whatever the occasion. If you’re ever visiting the area, make sure you check this pub out, you won’t be disappointed. . ℹ️ Info correct on...

The beer was not much good. I asked if the white wine was cold , was told yes , it was a little cold but not cold enough. The wine was mediocre at best. The food was good. Asked for a spoon for my food , knife and fork appeared but no spoon. Had to ask for a spoon for the second time , slack service. Not coming back to this pub. In response to the pub responding as below. I note your invitation to pop back for your excellent beers and excellent service. ' We regret to hear you had this experience with us ' is just about the worst apology I have had. Now def not wanting to come back. You just needed to say you got it wrong , and are either retraining your staff or firing them. If a customer orders a bottle of white wine , then just serve it cold and offer a wine bucket with ice. If a bottle of white wine is not cold enough , then don't serve it. Offer a different cold bottle of white wine , or a cold bottle of rose. You are having a laugh inviting me to your ' excellent...

This bustling, cosy, wood-paneled M&B Nicholson's pub offers a welcome respite from Kensington High Street's bustle thanks to its rural atmosphere. It is is Hidden away in a Side street just northeast of Kensington Town Hall and was first granted a beer house licence in 1865. The building was originally two adjacent houses. It features a historically significant interior for the area; take note of the lovely Charrington's bar-back. The regular Beers are London Pride, Doom Bar, and Nicholsons Pale Ale. A variety of brewers supply the guest beers. All day long, with the exception of 4-5pm, food is served, particularly sausages and pies. On my visits the Real Ales we're kept in excellent condition and reasonably priced. The only downside is that it can become...

I am far from a regular here. However, I have been here many times since 1969. My 5 stars are justified by my memories over these years. Of course there have been changes, but not so many that it has become unrecognisable. If a time machine whisked my 20 year old self forward to today, I would have been horrified by the price of beer. When decimalisation took place in February 1971, a pint of beer cost about 2 shillings - 10p. Otherwise, I would have bought another round of drinks and carried on unperturbed. My latest visit, in September 2022, was with 2 friends from 1969. All 3 of us were in the attached b&w photo dating from 1972. Not sure who bought that round, we were only poor, long haired students.

📍Elephant and Castle 🌍 Kensington 🏛 Traditional corner pub in the black and gold Nicholsons style. The outdoor seating is a bonus. Indoors is equally welcoming with the main drinking area in front of the bar. There's a snug behind the bar which has one table and a couple of stools looking into the bar. 🍺 Decent, nothing too adventurous. Anywhere that has @timothytaylorsbrewery on tap is alright with me. ℹ️ The pub's website says it is a favourite among journalists. The former Daily Mail offices are not too far away so it's just possible. 🙋‍♂️ My view: great little pub, very cosy, love it.
