The Castle in Kensington and Chelsea

Fish and chips here was delicious, one of the best so far in London. The batter was crispy and the fish itself was soft and tender. Great ambience especially if you get a chance to sit outside on a sunny afternoon.

Unfriendly and dishonest service.

Great food, great beer and great location. Great service too

Everything was fantastic and Josh was attentive and lovely.

Had a wonderful time! Josh was a great server and gave great recommendations!

Food was delicious and service was fast. Josh was great!

Very good restaurant in the Notting Hill district. The service was quick and the staff welcoming. I recommend.

We had a lovely lunch at this restaurant. The food was excellent, well presented and made with high-quality ingredients. The staff were very friendly and professional, especially Mara, who welcomed us with warmth, professionalism, and kindness, making us feel immediately at ease. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, perfect for enjoying a good meal. The location is also great, well-kept and convenient. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Josh was great ! Thanks for This expérience

Came for Sunday Roast and it didn’t disappoint. Portobello Road is a bit of an eclectic place and The Castle was conveniently situated near everything. We made reservations which got us seated right away when we got there. I had the sirloin roast which was very good. My wife had the fish n chips which she said were good, but not the best we’ve had in our weeklong stay in London. The libations were refreshing and the wait staff, while not overly courteous, was still attentive and helpful. The exception was the someone who appeared to be the owner or manager. He was friendly, courteous, and smiled with genuine warmth.

Great pub and excellent staff, especially Josh!

Rude customer service. The worst ever

Food was amazing, Josh was great definitely will come back again

Very good food, Josh was a great server.

Came for lunch with my parents they love the place. Our waiter Josh was really friendly and always on hand to take drink and food orders. Looking forward to our next visit !

Josh served us and did a fantastic job looking after our family

Super modernized pub with a revisited menu, lighter and just as delicious! Hearty portions

we were 3 friends and we ate a spectacular "Fisch and Chips", one of us is intolerant to milk and the waiter Josh was fantastic in taking the problem to heart by letting us know everything to avoid milk. The food is spectacular as is the waiter. I recommend it.

draft installation possibly not clean, the beer was not drinkable, the service even more sour than the beer

Great atmosphere, prompt service and the food was amazing. Mara looked after us very well … an asset to the Castle on Portobello 😊

Mara was so lovely :) excellent service!

Atmosphere was great and Constantine was a funny and attentive server! Thanks so much and see you next time we’re in town!

A random stop as we grew hungry but wanted off the busy street as a street market closed up. This pub looked welcoming. We sat and ordered without high expectations, we were fooled -the drinks and food were delicious and the service impeccable!! we even stayed for dessert! Would recommend & come back!

Had a fantastic lunch Costi our waiter was so accommodating. Must for foodies

We had a great time at the Castle!!! First day in London and there was 6 in our party. They couldn’t have been more accommodating! The food was excellent and Josh couldn’t have been more helpful. He was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed!! Highly recommend and will certainly be back before we leave!!!

Fei was so welcoming and wonderful! The food was delicious.

Very delicious burger and attention from Josh!!!

My first night in London and it was amazing!!! The food and beer are a must, the music was really enjoyable and the service was the best! Our server was Josh a really kind and joyfull guy. I’m deffinitly going back.

Josh's attention was excellent! Attentive to all our requirements. Efficient, friendly. A 10!!!!

Amazing food! Josh is the best atendent.

Josh was outstanding. Very knowledgeable about the differences between the beers and pairing it with food.

First pub, first fish and chips in London. Josh's Service and food was excellent!

We loved it!! Valentinia was 👍great

Great food service from Josh And Valentina

Josh was a great host. Ask for him. He is the best. Best fish and chips anywhere. Best overall place.

Josh was a great server Will be back

Food was excellent (and surprisingly bright and colorful for local fare) oir man, Constantin, was swift, delightful, and chipper. Needs met, bellies full, wallets happy. Highly recommend.

Suggestive location in Notting Hill, delicious food worth trying, the beef pie... Steve served us and was kind and helpful in explaining all the dishes to us and recommending those not to be missed before returning to Rome... the staff in the dining room are also super courteous, some even speak Italian... to have an espresso (Lavazza)... highly recommended

Amazing place to stop for a cocktail, Steve was on the bar and he truly was a talent some of the yummiest cocktails I’ve ever tasted! Must try the espresso martinis!!

Josh and the whole staff were awesome. My wife is a big pain, changing her order, high maintenance, and he just rolled with it. Hooked us up with whatever we asked for. Food was amazing, especially the fried cauliflower, fish & chips, and the drinks. Cheers!

Steve was amazing and the team was so accommodating of our early arrival! 😌

The food is fantastic and we received an exceptionally warm welcome. A very memorable experience. Thank you!

Amazing pub! Great food and atmosphere.

Josh was amazing! The fish and chips were awesome.

Took a while to get attended and even tough they asked if we wanted dinner and placed us in the dining section, we waited so long for someone to take the order. Food was okay and waiter was friendly when available. I would reccommend for drinks with selfservice, rather than dining.

Food was fantastic, especially for a pub, better than many restaurants we’ve been to. Best part of our meal was talking to our server Steve, super friendly and great food recommendations. They were so friendly it felt like we had been living in the area for years. Fish and chips are amazing as is the sticky toffee pudding - treat yourself with this dynamic duo.

Lovely food, really professional and friendly staff who dealt with my wife’s allergies with such care. Thank you, we will definitely be back.

Very aggressive male bartender, who was extremely hostile to me (the man with vivid green eyes). Wouldn’t let me use the loo initially, as he didn’t think I was eating.. When he realised we were in fact having a lunch, he remained rude, and when I asked him what his problem is, he aggressively told me he wouldn’t be serving me. This was unacceptable, especially as we had a child part of our party. However, there was a female (manager I think?) who was subsequently a pleasure and extremely friendly! Thank you for being kind, because I felt very uncomfortable after my initial interaction with the First Gentleman.

Going to Portobello Road so many times, I went to The Castle Pub a few times, but i never wrote a review. Last time I went, I had such a bad experience that I decided to write something about. The place is great. The location is perfect, right in the main street of Portobello, but the service is bad. The place was dirty and stinky. I will not go back again. There are better options in Portobello.

Josh was a great fella, pours a class pint of Guinness.

Spectacular as a typical English pub where you can feel in the atmosphere typical of these places.

Decent pub, beer is a tad expensive though

Lovely food in a very busy pub. Credit to the team for keeping it running smoothly with great service. Thank you Constantin, you made our lunch a great success.

Fantastic atmosphere. Service from Fotini and Ryan. Was amazing. Will definitely come back.

Very average experience here.. the overwhelming toilet smell is probably the biggest problem by far followed by the very mediocre food quality. The service was standard.

On Portobello Road, very nice little restaurant. We tried the fish and chips, it was excellent, the breading was not too greasy, a little accompaniment of peas and fries. 2 dishes and 2 glasses of wine (large) €87 for 2. I recommend.

I loved the food. Miss Valentina suggested the roast beef. I ate it for the first time and I loved it. Her service is excellent. I wish the rest of the pubs had more service agents like her. Thank you very much, Valentina N1

Fantastic atmosphere, service and food/drinks!!! Constantin was the best!!!

Very nice pub experience.. Comfortable yet sophisticated almost like being in a restaurant! Very clean and tidy, beautiful colors and atmosphere, very very good food (and our friends who live in England said so too!) and also very nice behavior from the staff. Finally, Fotini, who served us, was very helpful, she went up and down for us and helped us a lot. Try it!

There were three of us there on a Monday evening. It was very empty. The drinks were good, but rather more expensive.

Valentina helped us and she was kind and helpful, thank you very much.

On our walk through Notting Hill we made a stop for lunch. We liked the good atmosphere, but above all the attention received by Valentina, a charming girl! Thank you

Delighted with Valentina's attention, she assisted us very well in Spanish. The food is very good

Great place, thanks for VALENTINA's attention, she helped us with everything in Spanish, the food was very delicious. A perfect experience, 100% recommended

Great food and Valentina the best

Had such a lovely meal and the wait staff was incredible!

Everything perfect from beer to food. A special mention to Velentina for the excellent service and food suggestions.

Great place and service especially for Valentina, she spoke a perfect english and Italian as well. Also the rest staff has been very accommodating we were a table of 7 people of which 3 kids. Staff has been super helpful. Food was good and very traditional.

A cool pub full of tourists. Not bad, but lacks personality and traditional jaggedness. High-quality and versatile beverage selection at tourist prices.

Valentine was our server, she was amazing especially with the kids. She made us feel very welcome and spoke Italian for the kids, she helped us pick the best food as we were a large table. Would definitely come back just to meet her again.

Valentine was a great server, she made our first Sunday roast one to remember!!!

All Italians visiting London should go to this place on Sunday for the traditional Sunday Roast. Truly delicious, fair price and great service. Thank you!

Big thanks to Valentina! Very good food, great veggie options, wonderful service! Thanks for the pint-glass, Valentina!

Valentina attended to us and was super friendly!! He speaks perfect Spanish so he helped us a lot to be able to order what we wanted. 100% recommended

Good service. Valentina great staff

Valentina was very good and kind, she served us perfectly. Very good food.

Great place, with a very good location and top service from Valentina, highly recommended

Amazing english pub in the heart of Portobello road. Super food and environment with great service Valentina was the best waitress ever!!! Grazie mille!

Valentina was super friendly and attentive. The place is great and the food is very good.

Thank you Valentina for a great experience !

All very good! Valentina exceptional waitress! Perfect!

Double hamburger sandwich, we were served by the kind Valentina. Very helpful and good at beer recommendations, we really appreciated it

Nice atmosphere. Average food. Good customer service, Valentina was very kind.

Wonderful pittstop in the heart of Notting Hill. Very pleasant atmosphere, delicious food and above all unbeatable service. Valentina attended to us… how charming!! He couldn't have treated us better. Very attentive, fun and always with a smile 🫶 we will definitely return.

Nice characteristic place and very well recommended with excellent Fish and Chips from Valentina, one of the waitresses of the place, professional and very kind. Highly recommend, you have to go there.

Great experience! Mara welcoming and friendly!!! recommended!

Excellent service, Valentina is the best!

The service was great, Valentina helped us today!

I’ve only been staying in Notting Hill 3 days and I’ve been to The Castle twice. Fei remembered me and gave me the same great service both visits! Food wise, best burger in Notting Hill!

A very typical place in a very nice atmosphere and a girl named Valentina serving the service is perfect, very kind, friendly and you can also ask her anything and she will tell you the best to go to see it perfect.

First pub we ate in on our London Trip. The place was packed and the servers were run off their feet (I'm sure it was just a regular Saturday afternoon for them) and they were working extremely hard and always with a smile. Very accommodating in getting us a table. My friend had the fish and chips and I had the steak and ale pie. All were delicious. Very good prices for London. Keep doing what you are doing. It was a delightful experience.

English pub on Portobello Road. Casual and informal atmosphere. Decent food. Very noisy and acoustical not great.

A great time with the family with a great atmosphere. Josh and the boss at the top!

Good Sunday roasts and thank you Valentina

Good food. Big portions, lovely quality. Friendly staff. Good booking system. Ladies toilets a bit grim and smelly but this can be resolved.

Excelente servicio , a pesar de que muy ocupado, el personal era atento e ingenioso gran servicio y la comida era increíble , sin duda recomiendo la carne asada , excelente

Authentic pub with local audience, the owner Costantin is very friendly and puts guests at ease, good food and nice atmosphere.

Lovely pub with great atmosphere! Excellent service by Foteini! Thank you so much!

Best fish and chip in my life. Valentina was a great waitress.

Great service and food, traditional and very good food. Valentina has treated us great and advised us very well. In general, very friendly service.
