Very cute, traditional pub. Being from the US, I expected burgers and fries on the menu but I was very wrong! The menu had many options, elevated from a US bar and the food was OUTSTANDING! The vibe of the pub feels very neighborhood and the service was excellent! 10 out of 10!

Three of us had another excellent meal last night at the Havelock, a place we go to 2-3x per month. We all had seafood dishes (cod, haddock) that were expertly prepared and delicious. The service was attentive but did not at all interfere with our conversation. The Havelock is almost always busy when we go but one can feel quite private at one’s table. There is a lively and fun atmosphere that is quite unique in this part of west London. We hope and expect the Havelock will maintain its high culinary standard and its pleasant ambience once the nearby Olympia West project is completed and various shows and spectacles begin, likely leading to an increase in visitors to the area. We hope and expect that the Havelock will maintain its high culinary standards and charm if some of the crowds expected at the new Olympia West project once it opens discovers this culinary standout of west London.

The Havelock has been one of my favourite destinations for a high quality reasonably priced meal out since I moved to the (now called Olympia West) neighbourhood 12 years ago. The food has been consistently of a high standing and the service friendly and attentive. It is my first choice as a place to entertain visitors to that part of London and their impressions of the Havelock have always been very favourabl and as enthusiastic as my own. In summer there is an outdoor space for alfresco dining which further adds to the appeal of this first rate establishment. It is advisable to book ahead particularly in the evening.

So very disappointed. Checked the website to see whether they had wheelchair accessible facilities and it said it did. So planned the day out with friends and intended to eat there. Got there ordered a drink decided to check the toilet out as needed to use. There was a step up into the toilet - you could not fit a wheelchair in there and worst of all no hand rails. We had to leave and go somewhere else. It was a mission in the first place to get there with my condition and was really upsetting. Why advertise something that's not in place.This has added to my anxiety to go out.

Unfortunately very disappointing. The kids burger was tiny when the bun is removed plus no veg, although we got an extra patty when we mentioned this. The kids roast was huge but drowned in beetroot gravy and the roast potatoes stodgy and inedible. When I offered the cashier feedback he was unconcerned and appeared to have heard this before. We won’t return.

I have been going to the Havelock generally with friends for nearly 20 years. The food is as good as any I have encountered in this part of London and the service is courteous and attentive. The space during the cooler months is large enough for an estimated 30-50 people at tables spaced at a respectful distance from one another. In the summers there are outdoor tables able to accommodate another 20-30 diners. The Havelock is my and several of my friends’ preferred dining destination in the Kensington Olympia area of west London.

Haven't been to the Havelock for a few years so was glad to see it hadn't changed much. On a hot later summer afternoon there are few better places to be in West London. Great service and nice people. Still very cool in both senses of the word. Roasts were not bad although food off the main menu excellent so next time I'll go for the latter. Well worth a visit.

Our reserved table wasn't ready for us and had to be cleaned. The poor waiter was new and had a lot to do. He failed to tell us the one and only main course vegetarian option wasn't available. The alternative was a very disappointing soupy mixture of beans and - invisible - "induja sausage". The fish and chips had horrible batter, far too much of it. There was no possibility to have any kind of hot drink, and when I asked 'why not put on the kettle for a cup of tea at least?' I was told there was no kettle, just a drinks machine. Come on, even on a very busy evening you can do better than that. I have often been to the Havelock but never had such a disappointing evening there.

A wonderful range of beers charges and lagers on offer with excellent wines and a choice of aperitive s and other drinks suitable for the time of the year and heading into summer.....

Gastropubs can be more “gastro” or more “pub”. The Havelock is definitely gastro for the food which is always excellent. I usually make a detour to eat there when I come to London. On the basis of my experiences at lunchtime, I’d say for ambience it is 50/50 gastro and pub. This time I came on an Saturday evening. So it was busier and louder. However, it was atypical, as there was a big rugby match on the telly. They have a great selection of beers and a gos selection of wines by the glass. Thus, it’s a really good place to eat if you like good food and drink. Recommended!
