Hansom Cab in Kensington and Chelsea

Great friendly staff! Love this pub

Cozy pub, reasonable prices, still had warm food at 9 p.m. It was possible to pay by card.

Food was exceptional , would especially recommend the roast dinner - cooked to perfection! Service 10/10 - really lovely staff which added to the great atmosphere, also big shoutout to the bartender with red hair for exceptional service!

Amazing neighbourhood pub, the guys working here are so polite and Willing to help!! Plus they have an amazing selection of beers to choose from.

Frendily and kind staff, good service first time here

Great food friendly staff, most recommended.

Lovely pub, very friendly staff, love coming here on the nice sunny days to sit outside for a drink!

Had dinner last night at this cute pub and besides a very nice atmosphere , the food was great . I was with a group and Kartikeya who was in charge of us took great care of every needs or food issues we had. I would definitely recommend the place whether you are with a few friends or with a large group…

We found this Pub by accident and have been here a lot for a week of great meals, cold beer and new drinks for my Wife. Kartikeya and Abhi were great hosts and went out of their way to take care of us everything, extremely friendly and we Highly recommend this Pub.

These guys are fun, arrived a little late for food but they kindly made up a cheese platter.

“The service at the pub was great! Staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely made the experience more enjoyable.”

I had a few drinks and food and the food was too good specially the butter chicken and chicken burger the place is quite good and staff was friendly Nuve place to have drinks and chill

Thank you for a great evening, delicious Fish and Chips, friendly service. See you again.

Stayed in London and my hotel was nearby. I wondered into this place by accident and I’m glad I did! Best fish and chips I ever had and I am not a big fan of fish. Had to come back before leaving. The homous & pitta is also super fresh and to die for!! If traveling please stop by and support a small business. Will be coming back once I am in London again because it’s THAT good :)

Best fish and chips I had in a long time in London

Fantastic service from Abhi and Kartik who successfully fed 33 hungry students. Thanks for your patience and coordination with the preorder and your efficiency. We've had large groups at your pub before and we'll definitely be bringing them back. The butter chicken curry and chocolate pudding are both delicious too! Thanks again

Great pub with great service and a nice pint of Guardsmans best bitter

I have been to this place twice and it’s everything I want in an English pub: cozy, cute/quaint, and, most importantly, excellent cask conditioned real ale. This is the only London pub I’ve been to twice, so I think that alone speaks highly of it,

Friendly staff, good beer, awesome fish and chips. Also, if you look close, most of the pubs in the Kensington area are owned by 1 or 2 companies. I chose this place because it wasn’t and enjoyed a lovely Sunday evening with a pint and a meal.

Nice pub. Asahi 0% bottled beer is always great! Maybe one day it'll be on tap 🤞. Erdinger low/0% is also great but not available at this pub 🥲

Nice pub in one of the best areas of London. Very friendly staff, pleasant and friendly customers, possibility of seeing sporting events such as rugby. Very good food, we tried the chicken wings, the prawns, the chicken burger and the pie. All very good, perfect frying! The fried potatoes need improvement. Good choice of beers. Optimal! Thank you!

Cuando antes trabajaba en esta área y sus alrededores y visité este pub y fue bastante malo ser justo Decidió darle otra oportunidad años después y ahora ya no es propiedad del Sr. Morgan. . . Mucho mejor con un personal increíble y una gran selección de comida y bebidas ¡Grande hasta Kastik en la barra y sosteniendo el fuerte, leyenda absoluta!

Fantastic bar staff tonight at Pocker thanks very much

The barman Kastik was the perfect host and was helpful and friendly throughout - brilliant food, great relaxed atmosphere and beautifully clean toilets - great range of drinks including Hawkstone lager!!!!! Will certainly return in the future, thanks for everything folks!!

Very friendly staff and our beers were cold and the food was delicious.

Very good music, very good beer, very comfortable sofa and armchair! Ideal place to start an evening in London (west Kensington)!

Pedimos el domingo asado de carne. Las verduras, las patatas y el pudín Yorkshire y salsa estaban deliciosos. La carne, sin embargo, era bastante masticable y nos fuimos un poco. El asiento era muy agradable y el pub en general era agradable.

The place is chill. The waiters are nice. The food is ok.

Enjoyed hand-stretched pizzas in the cosy, vintage-inspired interior. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

A lovely independent pub that is great for a cozy pub date.

Cozy little pub with a nice atmosphere

I was absolutely blown away by the portion of this rich, flavourful salad. I was hesitant to have lunch at a pub because I was craving something healthier than fish and chips, but I luckily stumbled upon this pub on the way to Holland Park. Too early to drink beer, but the selection seems to be top-notch.

The food delicious the bartender is nice and smart that give space and welcoming for me it was my favorite bar i have been in

Great service and awesome vibes! Ordered their fish and chips a classic, as well as their CheeseCake was spot on! I personally found the fish and chips huge, but it was worth every bite. it tasted delicious and very fresh! 10/10 would recommend! Special thanks to the barman and the server, both were really know their jobs and made our night in sweet memory.

I came here because the reviews were good. I don’t think these other reviewers know what a good pub should look like - this definitely isn’t a good pub. The staff were cold, not friendly. They all seemed preoccupied on their phones or chatting between themselves. The beer was overpriced, and the was no atmosphere.

El pub hizo un gran trabajo en el manejo de nuestro grupo de 27 personas. Tomamos sopa, hamburguesas y postre. La comida era sabrosa. El servicio fue lo más rápido posible con una sola persona sirviendo la habitación. Todos estábamos muy contentos con nuestras comidas y disfrutamos del lugar inmensamente.

Fuimos por un pescado con papas fritas. Añadimos bocados de macarrones, bolas fritas de macarrones. Tuvimos pescado y patatas fritas realmente genial el día anterior, así que estos eran solo promedio. Dejamos la mayoría de los macarrones atrás. Se encontraba a través de una gran intersección del tubo de Earls Court. Parecía un lugar de trabajo local.

Nice pub. Popped in on a Saturday afternoon and it was quiet. £6.80 for a lovely Mahou. The chips were great! Only downside was it had had lots of TVs on showing BBC news which was unnecessary and a bit distracting.

Had lunch yesterday with my family, we love coming there for lunch, we had few celebrations overthere but this time the food was a let down ! We were very disappointed because we were looking for the menu with the Indian twist, last time we had the lamb burger with Indian's spices it was fantastic! But this time a very tipical pub menu ! The portion was very large but everything was very salted 😔! A lot of fried stuff and sauces ..... Not very interesting menu to be honest, which is a shame because the atmosphere is always super nice and relaxing ! Will be back at some point but not for the food

English pub all the way. Good food for a reasonable price. Friendly staff.

great food, great portion sizes. Loved the Sunday roast mesl

I really enjoy this pub as one of the five or so that is near my office. I have never eaten here so can only comment on it as a drinking spot, and for that, it is a very good pub. When the weather is good, the outdoor area is a lovely spot to sit in and when the weather is grim, you get the dual choice of the pub bar area and the backside that is slightly more like a dining room. The only thing that I dislike about the pub is that you do sometimes have strange people opening and closing the windows constantly, putting their snacks on chairs, and all those such slightly odd things that don't really make it a bad place to be, but just prevent it from being a five out of five pub.

Sunday roast and pint of Guinness!!! Love the veggies too. Great food and great atmosphere. Friendly staff and chef!!!

An unreconstructed pub that's affordable and hospitable in an otherwise expensive part of town. Good range of ales and beers and nice outside seating area where you can sit and watch the world go by. Staff are friendly and there's a good selection of board games and such.

Great service... big portions... fresh IPA!!! Cheers... 🍻🍻🍻 1 st timers in London.. excellent experience!

Came in as staying in a nearby hotel. Wasn’t too bad. Staff not overly talkative when engaging in conversation. Lovely outside seating area; inside seating whilst with lovely decor, felt awkward & clicky as we weren’t local. Not a bad little pub on the whole. Didn’t have food but the food being served whilst we were there looked great!

--- "My recent visit to the Hansom Cab pub was an absolute delight, and it’s clear why this place has such a strong reputation. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the charming, traditional decor, which combines the warmth of a classic British pub with a touch of modern flair. The ambiance is inviting and comfortable, making it the perfect spot for both a casual drink or a more substantial meal. The menu is varied, offering a great selection of classic pub fare alongside some more contemporary dishes. I opted for the fish and chips, and I was not disappointed. The fish was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—served with a generous portion of golden, perfectly seasoned chips. The selection of ales and beers is also impressive, with something to suit every taste. What really stood out, however, was the service. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that all of our needs were met without being intrusive. They clearly take pride in what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the experience. Overall, the Hansom Cab is a fantastic pub that offers great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!" ---

Can you go in and see it? It wasn't really anything for me

Nice fired whitebait and a beer in the sun outdoor beside the design museum 👌

We were staying nearby this pub for 5 days and went in a few times. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had drinks one night with some bar snacks and another time had pizzas, 5 stars. Could imagine this becoming our local if we lived nearby.

Very friendly welcome, clean place, pleasant experience for a drink or for fish and chips.

I work nearby and today I ordered 2 chicken salads and sweet potatoe fries for me and a client , it was fantastic, so fresh and tasty I have never had such a good salad out of my own home full of colour and variety Will be ordering again next week I have always found the staff pleasant , and they are always asking for feed back to improve etc And the cleanest pub toilets in London!!

Come! Staff was great, enjoyed the pub

Servicio muy amable en un gran ambiente. Mi hija y yo fuimos a cenar, y estábamos contentos con nuestra experiencia. Tenía pescado con papas fritas, y estaba en el lugar. Mi quisquillosa hija tenía tiras de pollo, y las disfrutaba. El personal era muy servicial para este turista estadounidense.

Sentimientos encontrados sobre esta visita. Ventajas: El ambiente es maravilloso. El personal era muy amable. La comida era buena (y el postre era fantástico). Desventajas: Vine con un grupo muy grande (40+). Habíamos pre-ordenado nuestras comidas, pero no estaban preparados para manejarnos, probablemente necesitaban traer personal adicional. Además, muchos de nuestra fiesta eran ancianos (más de 70 ) , y los baños están subiendo un empinado tramo de escaleras.

The barman was wonderful smiley and attentive! We tried their tequila slushy incredible…will be making the Hanson Cab our local 😍

The Hanson Cab offers a delightful experience with lovely staff and great prices. The outside seating area is particularly nice, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy your time.

Brought a tour group from America to enjoy a traditional English pub dinner. We were not disappointed!! The food was delicious-we had fish/chips, steak/ale pie, chicken/leek pie, burgers and a delicious avocado/quinoa salads. The chocolate cake dessert was a fabulous way to end the meal! The service was friendly, prompt and efficient with our large group. The atmosphere was enjoyable! Highly recommend!

1st meal after our flight into London. sat outside, very tasty meals and great service. We mentioned we had a birthday in the group and we were served cheesecake with candles to mark the occasion. Highly recommend this pub.

The service is decent and the food is quite good. Fish and chips is nice and the burger was good too.

An absolutely wonderful retro environment, excellent cuisine, a large selection of beer and other non-alcoholic drinks... definitely worth a visit.

We booked a table and watched Netherlands v England in Euro2024 semi final. A great atmosphere and a crowded bar but excellent service. Next time we are in Kensington, we will be back.

Reconstituted prawns. Cheap versions of everything . Better to go to scarsdale round the corner for Sunday lunch

Visited this pub many times over the years. It is a great pub and the staff are always ever so friendly. The food is always great. The pub is also dog friendly with treats available. Always have a good time when we come here.

Awful awful experience. Food was far too expensive (£30 for a burger and a pint) and made me ill. The service was appalling.

Ive lived in the area for 5 years and used to frequently go to the Hansom Cab. It was run by a lovely Italian family and the service, food and atmosphere was fantastic. The ownership changed a few years ago and unfortunately the pub has gone downhill. The food and drinks are extortionate, even more expensive than the famous Scarsdale tavern round the corner, and the food is what you would expect from an airport pub or a weatherspoons. Paying £21 for the burger (including service) is laughable once you see it in front of you (if you don’t laugh you might cry). The staff used to be very friendly and charismatic, but it is now lacking any kind of charm and the staff seem quite abrupt if not rude. We’ve tried the pub a few times since the ownership changed with the hopes that it would improve but to no avail. Unfortunately I don’t imagine we’ll be back which is a real shame To add - they add a service charge when you order a pint from the bar which is, without exaggerating, criminal

Just wonderful. Get away from the high prices on Kensington high street and come get some good food and beer for a good price.

The pub had a dreadful cold and unwelcoming atmosphere. Really surprising in view of its illustrious past. The management have absolutely no idea about customer service. People go to pubs for a social experience as well as a drink. They did not understand that.

Great little pub. Solid English pub food and generous servings. Can recommend the ale pie. Fish and chips were gargantuan. Not badly priced. Off the major road near Kensington High Street with a great atmosphere. Service great and barman checked to ensure everything was ok with the meals. Good beer selection.

It was great! Food was incredible, Service was great and there were great vibes. Great menu and it was overall an incredible pub. Totally recommend!

I just stopped by for a drink. It was almost closing time, so I didn't stay long. I'd like to come more slowly next time.

Lovely pub, lovely staff, lovely food! 100% coming back! Also great place to watch football games!

Great value, tasty food in a cosy atmosphere. Staff were friendly and accommodating, particularly Denise, who helped us celebrate my partner's birthday by putting a candle in his beef and ale pie : ) 😆 We'll definitely be back for family get togethers in the future.

Nice place to eat or drink something

We had a wonderful Sunday at the Cab recently! The roast was delicious and very generous, and the service was second to none! Would highly recommend

Very convenient place to stay. Beautiful hotel. Nice safe location. Everything you need within walking distance. A 10 minute walk from Earls Court station. My sister and I walked in the pouring rain, with luggage, and survived without incident (we are in our late 50’s). Cedric at the front desk is outstanding, and the rest of the hotel staff extremely

Good food and good service. Very accommodating.

Our family stopped here for Sunday roast after we couldn't get a table at our usual spot. We were very pleasantly surprised with our experience. The server was extremely friendly and accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were very generous. The only constructive feedback I would offer is to maybe play some music as it felt very quiet in the pub and lacked some ambiance. Otherwise, everything was great and we would definitely return!

In the area on vacation and looked for a pub nearby that served English fare. We tried this place and we enjoyed it. We had the steak and ale pie (photo is pre gravy pour) with creamy mashed potatoes and (non-mushy) peas. We were asked several times how the food was and it was really good. Drinks were good. Place was clean.

We had Shruti as our waitress and she was very helpful with our drinks and food.

fantastic place, with a cozy atmosphere and good food. Waiter Shruti was very attentive and provided good service.

Decent prices, amazing food, nice outdoor area for summer drinks and Shruti was particularly attentive and made sure we always had a drink in hand! Great service!

Great experience , great service and real english food. Wow. My canadian expectatives are fully satisfied.

Nice little pub - steak and ale pie was delicious

I randomly popped in to The handsome cab few days ago, and the pub looked amazing, the atmosphere was second to none ...not to mention stuff was extremely friendly and customer service focused at all times,..., However, I had to personally compliment the chef (MAS ) as the food I had ( , Chicken Burger with Chips ) was so tasty and delicious ...the chips in particular can t even describe how flavour rich they were, could not stop eating them to be honestly to good to say the least. I definitely and highly recommend the food but also the brand New peach beer they have introduced recently stood out for me ...with a summery peach fresh flavour perfect for the upcoming sunny days 😁 hopefully soon approaching. PS don t take my words for it just go there and try the all lot for yourself 😜

Wonderful local pub with kind helpful staff and great food. We had fish and chips and a burger, garlic bread and cheesecake. All delicious!

What a fab pub .excellent food and service. Dean and jake fantastic hosts

Closed 30mins early on this visit. Have to downvote for that.

Shock !!! Came in with my kids for family lunch.. the food was amazing as always. But not once have I heard such a disgusting language by the staff and on top of the fact that kids were there during lunch time! If your not kids friendly then you should state that on your website!! It’s really a shame. I won’t be coming back for sure.

Prices are a bit steep for what they offer. Food is okay, the burgers were a toss up, either overcooked or undercooked. Plus a service fee on the bill.

Gone through so many changes but fundamentally a pleasant place

Nice English pub, good beer and food.

Lovely staff and a good layout with a saloon at the front and cosy lounge seating at the back.

The pub was clean and neat with rustic charm. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. Service was prompt, and the food was delicious, showcasing local flavors. Overall, a delightful experience that I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing evening out and even want to visit frequently.

Quiet and welcoming place. Friendly staff and fairly quick table service

Very quiet the day I was there but pleasant enough

Nice location close to the bus stop. That's why we had a beer there. Unfortunately, 2 our of the 4 beers have not had a good temperature. That has a negative impact on the great selection of beer they have there.

The house white wine is horrible! It is diluted and they have even tried to offer me another option to change the wine…

Decent pub, will definitely be returning

Il tipico pub inglese. Fish and Chips ottimo
