Gipsy Queen in Camden

Good staff / good food / great place to go to watch a match / lots of seats internally and there appears to be a great function room upstairs

Great little pub. Very good selection of taps. food was also nice but a bit pricy. overall a great place for a couple.

Lovely atmosphere, good beer choice, great food from pop up. Look onward to returning again soon….

Very friendly personell. Fantastic lineup of beers, a true infependent pub. Food is well presented and hot, as a bonus it is nice :-) Highly recommended

The gipsy has a killer selection of guest beers &&&& they have had a boozy slushy machine with cocktails when the sun comes out. Grab one and sit in the very chilled out beer garden. It's definitely one of north London's hidden gem pubs.

Where do I start? First, I’ll start with the end….with everybody saying it was the best, and funnest wedding they’d ever been to. And that, was largely in part to the wonderful staff of The Gipsy Queen. A little background….7 weeks before my daughters wedding, the pub they were going to have the reception at, sadly closed, largely from the effects of Covid. In searching for a new venue, they came across the Gipsy Queen, probably the best thing that could have happened, and luckily, they were available on their date. I want to start by saying how absolutely amazing the staff was to work with, from Reuben, the very accommodating events manager, to Connor, the get everything done guy, to Seb and Pip, the amazing chefs, and all the rest of the fantastic staff. (and Hannah, hope you got your shot!!) They listened to everything the happy couple said, and came together to create the absolute best night of my daughter and her now husbands, life. They even learned to make some Canadian delicacies, which they did a phenomenal job with (best butter tarts ever-hope you keep them on the menu). The venue itself was perfect, with the added bonus of the outdoor space. It was bright and airy during “golden hour”, creating some fantastic photos. AV equipment was available, which was great, as we had a slide show to accompany our speech. The upstairs room is a perfect spot to host any kind of event, with a bar and access to the outdoors. The meal they prepared was beyond belief, everything was 5 star. One of the best meals I’ve had at a wedding. They sourced special appetizers, and late night snacks, as a nod to both families heritage. I cannot recommend this venue and these people enough. Thank you for making my daughters and her husbands special day perfect.

We were hopeful for a beautiful roast. Sadly the potatoes were old and mealy. Chicken was good. Beef was leather. Brilliant Pinot noir though and kids loved the puddings. We ate in the cold and soulless upstairs dining room. Cavernous and bleak. The food was served on cold plates so congealed before we finished. I’m pretty sure that if it was busier it would be better. Vicious cycle. Oh. Also, we cleared out own table. I think three stars is generous.

Excellent venue. Good range of ale, superb Sunday roast. Friendly bar staff. Brilliant upstairs room, which was perfect for our quizzing needs.

Accueil très prévenant de la part des serveurs (nous étions un groupe de 8). On voulait d'abord dîner (un mercredi soir), et la carte était malheureusement très restreinte et ne correspondait pas à ce qu'on avait lu du pub avant de venir... Donc uniquement des wings, des burgers... Déception pour ma part (et options VG très limitées : des wings de chou-fleur croulant sous la sauce bbq). Sinon, large choix de bonnes bières, bonne ambiance, jolie déco en bois. Le cheese cake speculoos, bien que TRES riche, était une tuerie. J'ose espérer qu'on soit juste tombés le mauvais soir!

Phoned today to make lunch reservation for 3 with dogs. Spoke to a chap called Matt who sorted it all out ,iced bowls of water for dogs,great food and service. Recommended. Jonathan

We had not been to this pub in a while and returned to new staff members who were absolutely delightful. I’m sorry I didn’t get any names but in particular a lovely gentleman and lady (with pink hair) made our visit. We came for an event they had put on and it was loads of fun. I have always loved this pub and I still do. You guys are great.

Absolutely terrible management in this place never met such a rude person I think his name was raybun and to make matters worse he said I was ugly I heard him say it to his boyfriend

Lovely, friendly and attractive staff. Would highly recommend coming and taking a seat out back in a very private, fresh, light atmosphere.

Food was fresh and light, drinks were great, amazing service from Matt, I recommend the cheese cake!

Solid beer range and lovely set up - inside and out. Food looked promising too, and the two young guys behind the bar were pleasant. Would have stuck around for another, but... the man who I assume was the manager (wandering in and out of staff areas) was, frankly, behaving in a pretty obnoxious manner. Overly loud and quite dismissive of his staff as if he thought he were on The Office to impress someone. And when a delivery driver came in to drop something off for a resident upstairs, he was downright rude - snapping, swearing, and it clearly made the poor driver uncomfortable. Made me feel uncomfortable too, not to mention embarrassed on his behalf for his childish, show-off "hard man" behaviour. A real shame for a pub that I genuinely liked on first impression.

First time to visit this pub for me and I liked this pub a lot and was suitably impressed. The main bar room with its studded yellow banquettes around the perimeter and classic and conventional tables, chairs and stools throughout. Then hidden out back is quite a spacious, and a bit colourful outside patio drinking area with separate areas including a couple canopied booth seating areas. Yes there is clearly a focus on food and as becoming of modern London pub interior makeovers the kitchen is exposed behind glass at one end of the pub. Sunday roasts were prominently advertised but then the rest of the food menu seemed to be Mexican with some sort of tie up with an award winning street food vendor. But it is an independently run establishment and the key selling point for me was more the 4 cask ale pumps and the 18 keg beer lines and the chalk beer board at the other end of the pub which detailed what was on them. For my visit three ales were available in the shape of the New River Brewery Isle or Rye, Gorgeous Brewery Goofyhoop and Tiny Rebel Stay Puft, a very good Porter. And the Keg lines included three craft brews from Tiny Rebel and further offerings from Siren, ABC, Camden Town and Belleville. Apart from my pint of stout being at slightly exorbitant Hampstead level prices , I didn’t find a lot not to like here.

Has a relaxed vibe and really interesting beer selection which were all really well kept. The Salted Caramel Icecream IPA was an absolute winner for me. The food options are Mexican which is a great addition. The Chicken Burrito Rice Bowl I can highly recommend in particular as very fresh and full of flavour. Unfortunately it was a little chilly to enjoy their beer garden but will definitely be back to give it a go

Excelente comida mexicana recién hecha y muy sabrosa, el pub en sí es un pub típico de Londres, el personal amable y cálido disfrutamos nuestra visita y comida de tacos, tortillas burrito y terminando con churro si estuviéramos por allí de nuevo, volveríamos por Por supuesto

Me encanta la nueva cocina que sirve cocina mexicana, tanto que hemos vuelto dos veces en el último mes y nunca antes habíamos pisado la puerta de este pub. Es un local apropiado, sospecha que la clientela ha mejorado un poco desde el nuevo menú. Bien hecho.

The Gipsy Queen es nuestro pub local que hemos estado visitando durante el último año, un pub realmente genial en un entorno urbano estilizado y elegante con un espacio relajado y extendido en la parte posterior. El personal es muy acogedor y discreto dispuesto a complacer. Los asados de los domingos son excelentes, y la cocina que sirve comida mexicana en la calle durante la semana y los sábados de Laurdos es fantástica.Nos gustó el lugar y la gente tanto que decidimos que queríamos tener nuestra recepción de boda allí. Reuben, el gerente general, fue brillante al ayudarnos a coordinar el día, dándonos ideas sobre cuáles eran nuestras opciones y el beneficio de su experiencia en la organización de tales eventos. El día fue perfecto: la calidad de la comida y el servicio, con todo funcionando exactamente a la hora. . . Reuben y su equipo realmente lo entregaron! Recomiende encarecidamente el GQ para una pinta de calidad, una excelente comida o para confiar en un evento especial. J & Y xx

La tentación de visitar The Gipsy Queen en Kentish Town, no lejos de Hampstead Heath, Belsize Park, Chalk Farm y Camden Town, fue revisada por un periódico local que destacó la calidad y autenticidad de la comida. Actualmente, los "reyes mexicanos de la comida de la calle" en Luardos ofrecen algunos burritos, tacos y quesadillas muy sabrosos y aparentemente auténticos, junto con una selección de los mejores lados. La comida estuvo a la altura de la revisión, llena de sabor sin ser demasiado picante y picante, lo que puede ser un cliché de la llamada comida "mexicana", al menos en el Reino Unido.Fuimos recibidos por un miembro del personal muy amable, que fue servicial sin ser agobiantes, recomendando artículos en el menú y la amplia variedad de bebidas disponibles. El pub se ve genial, está bien ventilado, lleno de flores y cuando lo visitamos, un perro encantador. Una televisión que muestre el deporte no es una gran distracción para los fanáticos no deportivos, mientras que las selecciones musicales fueron acertadas. También hay un jardín de buen tamaño en la parte posterior, que será genial cuando el clima se calienta.Después de recuperarme, este viaje a la taberna fue un placer, y ya tengo ganas de volver a visitarlo, idealmente en una noche, ya que The Gipsy Queen también ofrece música en vivo y otros eventos. En resumen, buena comida, bebida y un ambiente agradable y relajado, muy recomendable.

Food was amazing but the drinks were extortionate they added on service charge and VAT spoilt the evening

¡Acabamos de experimentar el mejor plato principal vegetariano (y ninguno de nosotros es vegetariano)! En serio deliciosas verduras asadas en croute! Pasta blanda 'derretir en la boca'! Las verduras que lo acompañaban también eran increíblemente sabrosas y perfectamente cocinadas: ¡zanahorias, verduras y papas asadas! Uno de nuestros nietos vino con nosotros y comió vorazmente un delicioso asado de pollo del tamaño de un niño, seguido de cucharadas de sabroso caramelo salado y helado de vainilla.Tengo que confesar que también tuvimos entrantes, pero debido al tamaño generoso de los platos principales, es mejor que renuncies a esta parte de la comida si quieres hacer justicia a los platos principales. Mi esposo, sin embargo, estaba extasiado con las costillas, diciendo que “la carne simplemente se cayó del hueso. ”Nos gustó el ambiente de este pub y apreciamos que a nuestro nieto se le proporcionaron lápices de colores y un "Minion".¡Volveremos!

Gonzalo's sweet potato fries are the best! crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. couldn't ask for anything better

This place is a true find. They have over 20 different kinds of beer and some amazing food on offer. Plays good music, kids friendly and has very friendly staff.

Fuimos a comer el domingo aquí en abril, y tengo que decir que estaba lloviendo todo el día casi no ir, pero tuve que ver a mis amigos. Me alegro de haberlo hecho, deliciosa cena de pollo asado increíble, las verduras, los pudines yorkshire, la salsa de las verduras, todos fuimos una delicia. Gran vino, gran compañía. Vale la pena la lluvia, y un gran servicio, nos quedamos muy cuidados y el lugar tenía un ambiente amable.

Love this pub, lucky to be a local. Great new menu as we love good burgers. Fantastic customer service from Ruben who couldn’t do enough for us - really friendly, professional and attentive with good banter :) will be coming back a lot

Individuato casualmente in una passeggiata verso Camden Town, questo pub ci ha regalato un ottimo pranzo domenicale.

A dog friendly, real ale pub with good grub. Good service and a very tasty fish & chips. A definite return visit is booked.

Cuatro de nosotros fuimos allí para comer el domingo. Se admiten perros y había unos perros bajo las mesas. Fue sobre la mitad.

Esta es posiblemente la mejor comida de pub en la zona, y hay algunos contendientes fuertes. Su asado es increíble, con porciones enormes y bastante precios decentes. También tienen una amplia selección de cervezas buenas y varias opciones de vinos de barril y disponibles por copa o servían, así como otros vinos por copa o botella. El personal es amable y servicial. Incluso bajo la nueva administración es dirigido a mantener el mismo nivel de comida.

Very good food and a friendly staff. Good variety of beers and wines. The ambient is nice. Recommended.

El pub está en una zona menos próspera cerca de Hampstead, absurdamente, lo que significaba que había espacio y un ambiente agradable en lugar de multitudes. El pollo asado de domingo con todos partícipe adornos era enorme y delicioso; me gustó que sirven una amplia variedad de vinos en botellas de 500 ml, y la variedad de cerveza también era genial. La música soft rock padre en un bucle no era ideal, y yo no era un fan de los francamente enorme cantidad de Lea y Perrins en un Bloody Mary bastante caras! El personal parecía relajado y amable, pero personalmente prefiero ir al bar en lugar de servicio de mesa - es un pub después de todo. Sin duda volver

Good food, helpful staff,room to dance. Outside seating. Private occupation throughout,Great ambience. = The best Wedding ever.

Mi hermana me había dicho que el lugar era genial, pero tomó más de un año, para finalmente darle una oportunidad. Ahora, tenemos que hacer el tiempo perdido! Teníamos jamón hock croquetas para aperitivo, que marcó la pauta y expectativas. No nos decepcionó. Teníamos un pollo asado y una orden de carne asada con todos los adornos, así como una increíble bacon chop con patatas dauphinoise. Todo estaba preparado a la perfección y llena de sabor. Estoy tentado a decir que este fue el mejor asado que he tenido. El lugar era bonito y espacioso (con una gran zona exterior), el personal era encantador y el propietario/chef se tomó el tiempo para comprobar que todo estaba bien. Le dije que nos gustó mucho y que me escriba un comentario. No hacerlo a menudo, pero quiero este lugar a mi local para el futuro previsible!! Así que aquí vamos: "el mejor asado nunca y probablemente más!".

En esta época de cierre de pubs, estábamos interesados en visitar el gitano Queen se ofrecen en un curso introductorio de un festival local en South End Green. Fuimos a cenar y nos sentamos afuera en el jardín, que es bear un espacio agradable pero más adecuado para beber, entonces solo cena porque los asientos de madera no puede ser movido sin cojines, etc. y las mesas para que no sientas un poco lejos para una comida de mesa. El ambiente es bueno y el servicio era atento. He seleccionado el galardonado huevo escocés y fue húmeda y bien presentado sin duda bien hecho. Mi esposa tenía la terrina, que era bueno pero un poco seco. Para los platos principales, tuve el abadejo pescado y patatas fritas y mi esposa de la hamburguesa. La comida era buena, aunque con la hamburguesa el típico tema de el panecillo desmoronándose era el asunto, este es un problema común. La hamburguesa en sí era buena, pero ahora se preguntó cómo la hamburguesa debería ser preparado, por ejemplo, Tamaño, tamaño, etc., no raro conseguir una hamburguesa bien preparada. Mi pescado y patatas fritas era buena arvejas frescas salsa tártara, etc. blanda y el bateador era crujiente, que es un cambio agradable.

vous y trouverez le fameux fish & chips comme tous les pubs mais celui ci est plus qu'excellent! le chef propose aussi d'autres plats plus délicieux les uns que les autres et il déborde d'imagination avec des plats innovants et parfaitement bien présentés

The food here is fantastic. The owner (or, one of the owners) was working the bar the night I went in, and he could not have been more warm, bright & attentive. There are good options for vegetarians.I would definitely go back!

This is a gem of a pub tucked away in the upper reaches of Kentish Town but well worth getting the 46 bus or walking up from Prince of Wales Road to get there. Superb food, friendly and efficient service and a relaxed atmosphere. The pub has been beautifully renovated in a simple style which is both contemporary and traditional. It is a sister pub to the well-liked Grafton but I prefer it.

This is a lovely pub with friendly staff. Have been here a few times for sunday roast and it was nice, although had to ask for a portion of extra veg. Went the other night however, and ordered fish and chips and seafood linguine. When the food came the linguine was a starter size portion (for £19) and the fish was two tiny pieces and chips and peas so salty. Told the bar staff and they said they like feedback as it helps them to improve. They do a great selection of craft beers and it is a really good atmosphere in there so hopefully food portion size increases to reflect the prices.

After spending a bank holiday Sunday afternoon in the Gipsy Queen's 'secret garden', following a walk up Parliament Hill, we've added it to our favourites list.If you're in the area, looking for a pub that isn't packed full of dog walkers and noisy families having lunch, this is the one. The patio only traps the sun at either end, but if you're okay with not being fully exposed to the rays, you can peacefully lounge in the booths with plenty of space - and the pub provides blankets if you start to get your chill on.The staff were fantastic - friendly, fast and attentive. We had an interesting talk with one of the waiting staff who had some good recommendations for local craft breweries.Though it's off the beaten track, the food is still of high quality and portions will fill you up without wiping you out.It can be difficult to find pubs in London that are quiet without lacking quality and atmosphere, but Gipsy Queen proves there are great options still out there.

We had booked for a family birthday and expectations were high, we were not disappointed. We always like to choose a wide selection of starters and main courses and share them out. With a table of 9 and only one chef, it must have been a challenge for the kitchen. All the dishes came out together and were delicious. The ham, egg & chip were on a different level, the chicken dish was moist and succulent and my duck heart ravioli (which accompanied my duck a l'orange) was fantastic, the first time I'd had anything like it. The pig cheeks, which I had as a starter were braised to perfection and inspired me to try and recreate the dish at home. After such a feast, which was punctuated with little extras such as a slate of baby garden vegetables, freekah and vegetable jus, we didn't think we had room for pudding. However, someone ordered the 'fill your own doughnuts' which we shared. This was great fun and comprised a dish of mini doughnuts with two syringes, one filled with vanilla custard and the other with jam. This meant you could inject your doughnuts with your preferred amount of each. A great way to end a fantastic evening. The wine and beer menus are also excellent, but it will be the food that we'll be back for!

Staff and venue are lovely. The meat and veg were perfect but the roast potatoes were so small and appeared to be deep fried as no fluffy potato inside and gravy resembled water. I will definitely go back and hope they correct just a couple of minor faults. All in all would recommend and will be returning .

We rarely post reviews and, in most cases it is to warn others of indifferent restaurants or gastro-pubs with inflated reputations and prices. So it is with real pleasure that we can review the Gipsy Queen’s seven course tasting menu, which at £36:00 is an absolute bargain. Each dish was delicious, well prepared and pleasingly presented. There were numerous nice additional touches; for example, the brill came with home-made linguine and a tasty sweet onion compote nestling in the empty cockle shells.We could not fault any dish and, compared to many more expensive tasting menus we have had across London, and would put this one among the best. We have lived in the area for most of our lives, so have visited the Gipsy during its many manifestations, and would like to congratulate the whole team for their commitment, innovation and the transformation they have wrought turning this once ordinary boozer into a welcoming local that serves by far the best food in area.We urge you to treat yourself by trying the tasting menu and doubt that you go away hungry or disappointed. Well done the kitchen brigade!

You know you’re in safe hands when eating in an establishment that has the confidence to have its kitchen in full view of its diners.That was my first impression when my children organised a family Sunday lunch here a few weeks ago for Mother’s Day. We all had such a lovely afternoon, with delicious food, great service (including a complimentary bunch of daffodils for each of us Mums which I thought was a lovely touch) that I’d meant to do a review then, but never got round to it. So when I found myself in London again yesterday for a day/evening out with my daughter, I suggested we come to the Gipsy Queen again for lunch and I took particular note of everything we had to report my findings here on Trip Advisor. They have a great quick bar menu (award winning Scotch Egg, Toasties, Cheese Board, Classic Burger with all the usual add-ons, Fish & Chips, etc.), but as we were going to the theatre early in the evening we decided to have a full lunch from the a la carte menu. It was hard to choose - there were so many interesting sounding dishes. We both had a glass of Aperol Spritz while we decided. I chose Crab Risotto for starter. I soon realised this is fine dining at its absolute best – white and brown crab meat with artichoke crisps in crab flavoured risotto rice, topped with white crab meet, tiny lemon sections and parsley – richly delicious. This dish is also available in a larger portion for a main course. Then for main I had Duck & Fennel with red cabbage tortellini, shallot and a portion of mash side dish. Oh my!! The duck was cooked to perfection, rosy pink with gorgeous crispy skin; the fennel shavings were the perfect accompaniment; the beautiful little hand-made tortellini and pomme maxim; shallot and creamy mashed potato rounded off the dish and the presentation on the plate was stunning. I hope the photos I took come out ok on here. I asked our server what he recommended to go with the dish and the Malbec he chose was ideal. My daughter had Leek and Ham Soup with Goat’s Cheese Beignet for starter – the soup was poured out of a jug at the table, a cute touch – and then she choose another two dishes from the starter menu as her main, i.e. a Slate of Veg and a Pear & Blue Cheese Salad. Both dishes came on slabs of slate (one hot, one cold, obvs.) and again, the presentation was absolutely stunning (see pics). The baby veg came with freekah (like bulgar wheat but apparently more nutritious) and vegetable jus. I had a taste of the salad dish and from the variety of flavours, (blue cream cheese drizzled with a red wine jus, candied hazelnuts and pear) on this, on all of our dishes in fact, it’s clear that the chef in this pub is really of the highest calibre. The standard of both the food and the presentation are exceptionally high (he worked in a Gordon Ramsey kitchen previously we were told). My daughter had a glass of Gavi di Gavi to accompany her main dishes.Someone at a neighbouring table was having the Cheese Board from the bar menu and it looked so lovely I had hoped I would have had room to finish off our leisurely lunch with that rather than a dessert. Unfortunately, I was too full for either, so that will have to wait for my next visit, which, after yesterday, will be very soon indeed!! I understand this pub was taken over last year by the people who run the Grafton, another pub in Kentish Town, which won The Great British Pub of the Year in 2014. They certainly know what they’re doing because the décor, the warm friendly service, the food and wine choices available here at the Gipsy Queen are excellent. I would say it is definitely a food led establishment and I really can’t recommend it highly enough, from the bar menu to full a la carte, for lunch or an evening meal, for couples, or families or a crowd, everything and everyone is catered for. It has a lovely welcoming atmosphere and it also has a garden, so that will be a great bonus in the summer. If you haven’t been before, do give it a try. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Having lived in London all my life, I have quickly come to learn that it is rare to find a pub not only with a great selection of drinks, atmosphere and service, but 5 star food to match. After dinner plans fell through yesterday, we had a quick search online and having seen the photographer Rankin's recommendation of Gipsy Queen being the best restaurant in North London, we decided to head over and check it out.We were not disappointed. The food and service we received was five star, with michelin star presentation to match, all for a really reasonable price.We would have no qualms about recommending this pub to friends and family and we most certainly will be returning on a regular basis.If you are looking for a nice cosy pub in London, with a great drinks menu and delicious, affordable food, this is the place to go!

As a regular diner here I've experienced some of the best meals I've ever had. The dishes are well proportioned so as to enjoy a relaxed meal over a few courses, always delicious and beautifully presented. Service is friendly and efficient, nothing is ever too much trouble and you feel as though the staff really want you to have a great time. It's a lovely place just for drinks too and there's a fantastic garden out the back, I can't wait to invite friends there in the summer. This is a real off-the-beaten-track gem. I'm recommending it to everybody!

I decided to take my mum for some food at The Gipsy Queen for Mother's Day and it was, hands-down, one of the best pub dining experiences I've ever had. The staff were all extremely welcoming and efficient (we were served at the bar straight away) without ever being intrusive, and the range and variety of beers, wine, cocktails etc was spot on. But it's really the food that marks this pub out as something a bit special. We shared a starter of braised pig cheeks that were out of this world, and then each had a roast- one lamb and one beef- that came with all the trimmings. I've lived in North London my entire life, I've eaten a lot of pub roasts. It knocked them all into a cocked hat. We finished with an apple crumble that was just as good. Just go. Seriously. I can't recommend it highly enough. They even gave my mum some daffodils to take home.

Had the pleasure of visiting this pub for friend's birthday drinks. Super lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Stellar bar snacks (do the scotch egg!).Blankets hung by the back door for those using the outside area are a nice touch.

The Gypsy Queen has been transformed from what it was into a really welcoming local but with a modern trendy spin on it. The garden is the real high point for us, its really spacious and looks really cool. My friends and I often spend a friday night here. The wine selection is good for a pub, especially the Malbec which is lovely. I havent eaten here yet, but the menu looks delicious, its the sort of place where you can bring your whole family for Sunday lunch.

This place is so much more than a trendy gastropub. The food is a serious strongpoint; the menu offers a variety of creative plates and more classic fare, made with locally sourced seasonal ingredients. Service is genuine and staff are always happy to suggest a wine pairing. Only complaint is not having room for more dessert! I highly recommend coming for a great meal, and staying for the warm atmosphere, good tunes, and selection of drinks and board games!

was looking forward to going here with my family and a friend from brazil what a embrassing ordeal it was terrible were to start got in and was shown a table in the corner seated oppsite a large group of very loud rude people with filthy language swearing all the time and really loud should have known then and walked out felt really embrassed for our friend who offred to pay for our meal as he came from brazil and I had suggested this place , the staff took about 25 mins minutes to even come over to take our order for drinks nobody aske if we were ok nothing the staff member behind the bar just stood around looking bored the worst place ive ever been to to eat a meal awful the meal if you could call it that was horrendous I was actually going to take a photo it was cold burnt black roast potoes cold two small spoonfuls of veg and a slab of turkey all together paid over 200 for five people daylight robbery overpriced crap sack the so called chefvery nasty nasty place horrible staff too will never set foot in there and that used to be my local before it turned into a posh gastro bulldoze it now not fit as a pub or a restaurant and that's the truth

I visited The Gipsy Queen with my girlfriend as we recently moved to the Southend Green area and have been trying out all the local pubs to find 'our local'. The pub has got a really good feel to it, with contemporary decor but still feeling like a traditional pub.What we were really impressed with though was the food. I really wasn't expecting to find food of this calibre in a pub. I had a braised beed dish with a side of chips (cooked in duck fat), and my girlfriend had a crab risotto. Everything was simply delicious! I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere to go for a nice dinner, or just somewhere to hang out. We've tried some of the local restaurants and The Gipsy Queen's food is the best we've tried.

Had dinner here last week, was recommended by a friend. We tried the Chefs tasting menu, well priced at £34 per person and were not disappointed. The dishes were so tasty and beautifully presented. My favourite was definitely the pigs cheeks but the pickled mackerel was unreal too. My friend ordered the rabbit from the a la carte menu and it really was incredible.

Had a family lunch here yesterday, and have to say we were thrilled with both the food and the service. The staff were very welcoming and promptly showed us to our table, tucked away in a corner, opposite the bar, where a few of us could see the pass (great to watch the finishing touches being added to our plates). We started our lunch off with a velvety smooth leek soup, served alongside some warm carrot, hazelnut and cumin bread, both excellent. As we were a party of six, we decided to go for sharing platters. The lamb, beef and chicken were all cooked to perfection and presented alongside, yorkshire puddings, crispy roast potatoes, a selection of seasonal cabbage, roasted carrots, carrot puree and green beans. Plenty of jus was served alongside. For dessert, five of us went for the Banana sticky toffee pudding, served with ice cream and honeycomb which was just scrumptious. One of the group opted for the Apple crumble and said that it was one of the best they'd ever had.Service was great throughout, not intrusive, but attentive and pleasant, even took a photograph for us.All in all, great value for a Sunday lunch with all the bells and whistles. Lets face it, if you want the everyday 'catering for the masses sunday lunch', you go to a chain. Highly recommended, we will return.

Had some dinner here a few nights ago and we were completely blown away by the food and also the service of the staff. The staff were really friendly and nothing was too much of a task for them. The food was very much on point and the quality better than I expected. I would recommend this place to family and friends.

The place works so well, a huge bar in the middle with an amazing open kitchen cooking some of the best food in north London!!!

A wonderful atmosphere, full of characters, including the local dogs. The food's always fantastically tasty, and presented accordingly. Some of the best service in London, with a wonderful group of staff who always strike up a good conversation. Glad to have a local that makes us feel at home.

We all went our for sunday lunch as a family. We were put to a corner table in the pub area. This would have been fine but there was a large group of people really shouting and speaking inappropriately and dont get me wrong its a pub thats bound to happen but I think we could have been seated elsewhere to eat as the pub was dead apart from them anyway. there isn't a lot of choice on the menu, about 5 options only. I ordered the cheese burger and chips which was lovely but they wouldnt put out salt, vinegar or tomato sauce and gave us salt and tomato sauce in a tiny tub. Two of the others had a roast (they had ran out of chicken and beef at 5pm on a sunday) so they went with the turkey alternative and when it came the portion was absolutely tiny and think it cost about £12. The staff were very slow to take our orders and when we ordered drinks it took them about 20 minutes when the wern't serving anyone else. It cost me 5.10 for a pink of cider with the tiniest bit of blackcurrent (they charged 80p for this) i actually had to ask if they had put any blackcurrent in it.

This place is my real local - but I never went in it's previous guises (Westport Inn etc) - and yes it's sad to see a real old locals boozer close down - it was only going to be converted into flats, so well done for someone making the time, effort spending big chunks of money into converting it into a lovely pub with a great vibe.Yup - the area might be a bit intimidating, but you're only 2 minutes from The Stag or 10 mins from the Southampton Arms - two of the trendiest pubs in north London, but I far prefer this place. Good beers, food is fantastic, decent pub quiz, really good music on in the background, and lovely vibe inside - definitely not too pretentious / 'hampstead'. Needs a few tweaks - couple more ales, more affordable food options (Goat Leg 3 ways has a limited crowd), and fundamentally a few more punters. But anyone i've taken there has loved it - even if they were dubious before stepping in due to the old pubs reputation. This even had loads of kids eating for sunday roasts - so child friendly as well.Go down, drink beer, chat, eat, be merry, this has great potential to be a really top place.

Di passaggio a Celle Ligure mi sono fermato in questo locale ed ho potuto saggiare la cortesia e la competenza del personale in fatto di vini ed un ottimo aperitivo. C'è una buona selezione di vini e birre e mi pare che si faccia anche gastronomia per quanto non abbia potuto approfondire per ragioni di tempo. Ripasserò senz'altro.....

My family and I held a christening party here and it couldn't have gone better. From the word go arranging the party with the venue was hassle free and on the day everything went so smoothly. The staff were extra attentive to all our needs and the buffet was stunning especially the world class scotch eggs. The venue itself is a haven from Hampstead and Belsize Park and on a wet cold day was warm, welcoming and very cosy.Thanks again to the staff for everything.

I won't deny that when I first visited the venue I felt a little intimidated! Such a lovely venue and as I later found out, really good quality food (classic burger & chips followed by lovely house special doughnuts) but for a restaurant it's a bit of a daunting atmosphere to walk in to with a real local feel crowd conforming around the front restaurant.Definitely has the potential to be a leading local pub in the area if they can understand who they want their demographic to actually be - quiet restaurant/busy bar.Enjoyable visit nonetheless

This pub in the Belsize neighborhood had the best pub food we tasted in 20 days in the UK! We rated their fish and chips #1 and were told by the waitress that they are in the running for the best scotch egg in the UK. Recently remodeled, we loved the place.

Went here for lunch and had beer from the Camden brewery. My wife had asparagus risotto and I had fish and chips. Reasonably priced and very friendly staff. I hope this place is supported as on the site of the Westport Inn which was a dive. If it builds up regulars it will be fine. Give it a visit as worth supporting as the food was good and disagree with the other review, the choice of booze was fine.

Gipsy Queen is a new pub opened after extensive refurb on the old site of Wesport Inn. Nice airy deco, bare floorboards and brick walls minimalist look. Massive garden at the back. Camden Town brewery beers on tap. Overall poor choice of ales though. Fancy and expensive food. Call me old fashioned but I don't want to see roasted scallops, guinea fowl and rib-eye steak £23.50 on the pub menu. Lawless lager at £5. Time will tell how well they go - I give them 3 months.
