Britannia in Kensington and Chelsea

This is an amazing pub we went to just a short walk from our hotel in Kensington. The staff is friendly and attentive. We had the Sunday Roast and it was so yummy and the creme brulee to die for. We highly suggest a visit.

I’ve been selected for job interviews as sous chef for Sunday… on day of interviews I received text from Monica saying…. Today head chef is off can you do it tomorrow at 11.00. Sure I replay. Next day I went for interview, only see a guy who didn’t know what is going on? And clearly didn’t know what I’m doing there. He asked for my mobile number. I contacted Monica via whats app asking how I went on interview…..I sent few messages. 2 weeks after I have mail saying I’m unsuccessful!!! Questions is how can you deny someone who wasn’t interviewed?

I visited the pub on my wife's birthday, we really enjoyed the beers and specially fish and chips. The enjoyed the service by Raj. Recommended to visit the pub.

Last night, I popped into that pub and I must say, it was absolutely brilliant. The service was top-notch—friendly and quick by two beautiful ladies—and the food? Simply delicious. Proper good evening out, I’d highly recommend it!

Showed up without booking ahead and Olexandra was super accommodating and found us a lovely spot to enjoy their Sunday beef roast with my wife while on holiday in London. This place is a must visit if you are in Kensington. I don't feel bad letting the secret out now that I have had a chance to visit. Tell them I sent you.

The best pub in Kensington. We had a ver nice lunch. Thanks so much Raj, saludos from Spain!!

Just popped in for a drink whilst passing. A lovely tradition pub and by far and away the best pint I’ve had in Kensington.

GREAT FIND. GOOD VARIETIES OF BEERS AND WINES. VERY PLEASANT COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT. NICE TO KNOW FOR FUTURE TRIPS.

Such a great pub for a chilly day. Great fish & chips and overall atmosphere. Raj was very welcoming and kind to us (visitors from the USA). We will definitely visit next time we are in Kensington!

Lovely pub. Had a couple of drinks. Super great vibe. Raj was lovely !

I’ve been to Britannia multiple times, but experience today was really not great. The male server was very rude and had a very “I don’t care” attitude. It’s quite disappointing. I think I won’t be coming to this place anymore.

Fish and chips not too good. Excellent service

Truish British place with working fire place, stylish design and furniture, music and most importantly very friendly personnel! Recommend to come by and dive into relaxation with pleasant taste

Lovely pint of Proper job, served by friendly and welcoming staff. Top pub

Was recommended by mate Kamil. The atmosphere and the food were delightful.

Great service,. Ray was really nice, and recommended the best food and beer. We had a great time. Thank you Ray.

Great place; Raj and Alexandra were amazing

Very good food and Raj was super friendly!

Had an amazing time at the pub, and a big shoutout to Raj for making the experience even better! From start to finish, everything was spot on—the beers were cold, the atmosphere was lively, and the service was top-notch.

Thanks to Raj and the team for a lovely evening. Great atmosphere, food was great and great value for money. Come here often for Trailfinder events and it never lets you down. BTW the vege burger was really good. Recommended !!!

Enjoyed the atmosphere of the pub! The drinks and sourdough bread were great. Thanks to Raj for the service!

Very friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and great food. We enjoyed our fish, chips and salad. 😊

A great place for a relaxed drink. The fireplace seats are really cozy, and the playlist is great. The staff member Raj was sweet and very helpful navigating the menu.

Pleasant little pub amongst the mews off Kensington High Street. Although it's possible to pop in for a beer it's food orientated, so if its evening and you're not eating, be prepared to stand. Good for a quick pint as I was staying nearby.

The atmosphere was really cozy. The drinks, food and service (from the non-British waitress) was great but a few things left a bad taste in our mouth. The bartender was passive aggressive and grumpy. When asked for the bill he put the card machine in front of me without showing me the amount or the bill. When I asked for the physical bill (to calculate the tip I would have left for the staff due to the great attitude of the waitress) he slammed the card machine on the bar and went to get the physical bill. As a person who works in hospitality I understand we can all have a bad day but this behaviour is unwarranted and unacceptable. This is a matter of basic customer service.

Great pub, didn't eat but it looked great. Lovely feel to it. Cosy and warm in the winter

Great pub with a great atmosphere. My friends and I will definitely come back here to enjoy delicious food and drinks again. Special thanks to Olexandra for her attentive service!

Place is amazing. Food is tasty. You definitely have good sortiment. Thanks Oleksandra for giving advice about food and drink. My date with gf was brilliant. Thanks!

Amazing place with delicious food. I had fish n chips and it was best I had ever. Was served by funny guy Kamil. Definitely will come back next time when around

A cozy place with delicious food and excellent service. Special thanks to Oleksandra for the warm welcome!

Sasha was a great waiter. Fish and chips was amazing! I’ll definitely be coming back!

Kamil is great guy and that fish n chips was lovely :)

Kamil was great and the burger was delicious!

Raj served us a couple of great pints, and was friendly to chat with.

Raj has gone the extra mile to make us happy! Great service and great vibe

Been coming here years — great furniture inside and very homey with a nice peaceful outdoor on the side. Raj will take the best care of you — excellent bartender!!

Good food and drinks but the service is not lovely at all.

Kamil did an amazing job yesterday! His friendly and attentive service made the experience even better. And the burger? Absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and full of flavor! Huge thanks to Kamil for making it a great visit. Highly recommend!

All the staff was great specially Kamil. The fish and chips was one of the best that I’ve tried in all my life .

Crispy, golden fish with perfectly cooked chips—fresh, tasty, and full of flavor. A must-try with a pint!

Amazing pub with the best fish and chips! The food is absolutely delicious, the service is top-notch, and the staff is super friendly. The vibe is fantastic—great atmosphere, good music, and a cozy yet lively setting. Perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. Highly recommend!

Very pleasant pub service until 8:30 p.m.

Lovely pub. Lovely staff. Friendly and attentive. Warm and relaxed atmosphere. Didn't have any food but it looked terrific. Even the other customers were nice. Good screen for the 6 Nations.

Excellent experience on Xmas day, well done!

It's just a nice pub. If i were lucky enough to live in High Street Ken it would be the pub that would be my local

Great atmosphere! Raj was very knowledgeable with wine, recommended us lovely Rioja! Such an lovely place ☺️

Raj is a very kind and recommended one of the best Spanish wines

Great place to enjoy a good pint!

Excellent customer service from Raj; he was friendly, prompt, and made some wonderful hot chocolate!

Raj provided us with an excellent service. He is truly kind. This combined with the welcoming atmosphere of the pub creates a nice memory and a motivation to visit this place again.

Lovely pub, I highly recommend! Raj was an amazing server! He made the best Bailey’s hot chocolate I’ve ever had!!

I had a great burger here last night. Compliments to the chef!

Wonderful time. Roast was not too big or greasy. Food was hot. Tea was hot. Pub was warm. Waiter was friendly and asked about my books I had with me. Will go back!!

Place with a very good atmosphere, welcoming with good music and good service! Thank you Raj for your friendly and professional service!

Unfortunately this was a disappointing experience, the sea bream was dry, over cooked and pretty unpalatable. The belly of pork was pretty tough however the burger and gluten free fish and chips was much better. One member of our party was black pepper intolerant and unbelievably they couldn’t provide any vegetables that didn’t contain black pepper presumably as the chef was unwilling to cook it from scratch. It was a pretty busy Sunday lunch and the staff appeared under pressure.

I absolutely enjoy not too over crowded places on a Saturday night. This is such a sweet pub just across the church. Lovely xmas decor. The service could be better. We ordered few rounds of the same drink and it came out in various versions 😂 the service often confused and running around plates they don’t know where it belongs to. I would still come back, recommend

The food and service were great - they went to great lengths to make sure we had the best time. Definitely be going back

I’m still here and I love it! Thank you Raj and Sasha. Best pub kitchen in the area. Of course I had sausage and mash again 👍🏼

Great atmosphere today! We were well served especially on the first floor. The bar tender Raj is a very funny and uplifting character.

Raj is such a nice and friendly waiter. He was serving us and was so nice to speak to

Great atmosphere, very cosy with the open fire. Good food, welcoming staff. Lots of board games and also toys for dogs.

Classic London pub. Great food and top notch service (shout out to Raj!)

Very good meal and pints after a show across the road. Raj was our waiter and was perfect.

Mirza was fantastic! Give that man a raise

After a few hitches, this pub is back on track. The food was really good (menu changes regularly), large portions and prices are fair. The pub itself is attractive inside and out.

Cozy pub with open fire. Lovely real ales. Undercooked camembert the only negative.

My favourite pub in Kensington , a little bolt hole off the High Street. Cosy with a real log fire. Great food - I had the French onion soup today v tasty, good sized portion and great price about £8.

Great evening ! We had been looking for a quiet pub for a nice fish and chips to end a Sunday going around London. The Britannia was perfect. The fish was cooked perfectly and the chips were amazing. The curry sauce was a nice touch, original and full of flavours. The apple and plum crumble with custard was warm and wonderfully tasty. Bravo to the chefs Gregg and Mariyuz. In addition, the staff was extremely nice and efficient, we were served quickly, which was good ,as we were starving. Among the staff, Raj was very friendly and really made us want to come back. I know my Dad will insist on coming back next time he is in London !

I’m a foodie, this place will give me nightmares. I would say that the food was flavourless, however, The only flavour I could get was disgust. I have never had food quite as foul as this. The French onion soup was not a soup but a bowl of onions with no flavour, The ox cheek croquettes were Abysmal, They should not be on the menu if the cook doesn’t know how to make them properly. As for the side dish of pigs in duvet, Quite clearly are slices of sausage in a bowl of oil. I would never suggest this place to anyone. Minutes after leaving, My partner was sick. Do not go to this “restaurant”.

We had a wonderful time at the Britannia. It’s cosy and the roasts were great! We sat by the fire and the service was fantastic. We will be back!

What a lovely find! Great pub, atmosphere and food, we will be back the next time we’re in London.

Vegan plant burger is delicious!

Our favorite dish is fish and chips and we were very satisfied with the food AND the service. The food melted in our mouths and someone was nearby to meet our needs any time we needed. At our request they even made sure we kept a supply of still water the whole meal. Wonderful evening with friends.

Brilliant pub, just off the main high street and perfect for a quiet pint. My favourite meeting location in West London.

Raj was amazing with the red wine recommendations. He really made our night

I needed a space to work remotely in the area for an evening and I was more than surprised by the little gem the Britannia is! I was expecting a regular Kensington pub instead I was suddenly in a very cosy place, with a live fire on and extremely friendly and helpful staff who were taking time for new and regular guests equally and with care. I also was amazed by the soup! The clientele of locals and visitors alike were all respectful, polite and enjoying themselves as the pub itself and its staff set the tone. A complete opposite in comparison to the atmosphere of other pubs in the area. Looking forward to visiting again soon and to show it off to friends.

Nice place, friendly waiters and good food.

My wife was directed to this place by a florist at High Street Kensington. She loves fish and chips and was so impressed by the quality and quantity of the portion that she brought me here. She is enjoying her fish and chips but unfortunately they ran out of beef steaks which is a shame because I wanted to have exactly this. If we come again maybe they will have beef steaks. We also liked the Estrella beer.

Nice atmosphere but mad price for terribly small portions, shameless to serve this

I recently visited The Britannia and loved the cosy atmosphere paired with their excellent selection of food and drinks. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

The service is bad and staff so indifferent. The blond lady at the bar/service was border line rude and smileless. They made the order wrong and refused to change the drinks. Very bad experience - such a shame as it is a beautiful place.

Lovely time at Britannia. Food was great, and Sasha treated us very well. Thank you for a wonderful evening of good food and drink and pleasant company.1

Fantastic meal and the server was lovely great atmosphere Get the fish n chips !!

We went for the Sunday dinner and really enjoyed the Yorkshire pudding and beef. Raj was very pleasant and helpful.

We had a great event there and Raja, who helped us, was fantastic. Great space to host events and the team was super easy to work with!

An ok pub but slow service and pretty stupid method of identifying reserved tables, rolled up paper inside empty wine bottles saying reserved that you dont even notice, then you get asked to move to another table where there isn't even any chairs.

Our go-to spot for fish n chips. Whenever we travel to London.

September 2024: Stopped by for lunch and enjoyed a very nice meal. Started with a half pint of the Proper Job IPA from St Austell Brewery. Was a nice light session IPA. Started with the pork and fennel sausage roll and it was very delicious 😋. Then tried the chicken liver pate which was very rich. Went well with the Young's sourdough bread. To end, had the quinoa salad which came with arugula, chickpeas, cauliflower, dates and almonds. The salad 🥗 was surprisingly filling because the portion size was large! Service was friendly. Would definitely come back again for more delicious food and beer.

A very good place, cozy, a pub that is great for spending time with the family, the service is excellent, pleasant waiters, the service is fast and attentive. Special thanks to the waitress Oksana for the excellent service!

We came here for drinks and ended up staying for fish and chips, the best we’ve had! They were incredible! Tristan and Dan made us feel so at home with their hospitality…. we really enjoyed our time with them and the lovely bar banter, literally exactly what we were hoping to find here. While being overseas the Britannia made us feel right at home. Genuinely can’t recommend enough. Those vibes…. Just right.

Dan the manager and Tristan the tender were outstanding. We were visiting from the states and they made us feel right at home. The fish and chips were authentic and delicious. Not over fried or too breaded! The drinks were spot on. We would make this our go to spot if we were local. Don’t miss out on Kensington’s best kept secret.

Sophisticated pub with a great atmosphere, had fish and chips and a pint of Neck Oil, made all the better by the enthusiastic and friendly bar team! Thanks a lot Tristan and Raj!

Wonderful experience. Came all the way from brasil and tried the fish and chips! It was excellent! Tristan and Raj behind the bar were so helpful and welcoming. Would 100% recommend! Thanks guys :)

Was on a trip from Paris and wanted to try the famous Fish and Chips in London, but wasn't too hungry. Server Raj recommended me to go with Child fish and chips (Half a size of regular) and it lived up to the hype. Highly recommended. Also the staff was amazing.

Great experience with an excellent server and nice drinks. We will definetly visit again, if we are in London next time!

My sister and I had our first British Sunday roast EVER at The Britannia! From the ambience over the service and the food - all was AMAZING! 🫶🏼 The meat was tender, the sauce & sides were perfect & the mashed potatoes tasted so gooood! Props to the chefs! 🙌🏽 Thank you for having us! We would love to come back one day. Greetings from Germany, Steffy

Thanks to this magic place and Oleksandra for fantastic evening, good servis and tasty food. Next trip to London will be definitely with this place

Lovely Sunday Roast and excellent service from Raj. Great pub, would definitely recommend.

Authentic tasty food especially Fish and chips with camden hells & also had a great service by Raj! However, I'm looking forward to come back and try the other choices in the menu.
