Earls Court Tavern in Kensington

The staff were SO RUDE. I am with a group from the U.S. and we wanted a dinner close to our hotel and we were met with hostility. It was two women working one older and one young but didnt speak english. The older one was so incredibly rude, rushing me when i gave my order which wasnt taken at the table, rolling her eyes when i ordered me and my friends drinks, and just so hostile. My friend and i ordered the exact same food but mine came with two (2) onion rings while hers came with a whole cup. I asked why it was like that and the younger one piped up saying thats just how it was but i didnt hear her so i asked her to repeat herself and the older one starts talking to me like im stupid and is raising ger voice telling me that my friend ordered extra... she did not! We ordered the exact same thing said yes and no at the same questions but still were different. I gave up because she was SO RUDE and rolling her eyes and sighing and almost yelling and waving her hands. We ate and the food was mediocre at best, then my friend found a hair in her food! A short black curly hair.... none of us have black hair. We told the older lady about it and she rolled her eyes AGAIN and took the food to look at it but kept asking where the hair was with such disdain in her voice like she loathed us. She then went to her manager who was so incredibly sweet and kind and refunded my friend but the older woman should not work in hospitality. If anyone knows the Karens Diner trend going around, this restaurant is doing it without any warning lol. Dont eat here, spend your money elsewhere.

The food was really not great . Tried to keep expectations in check as it was just a casual pub, but the starters were simply not edible. Service was fun and good. Energy in the pub was great. Just wish I didn't order food at all and just had drinks.

We went there at night looking for a place to eat. There are many tables so that was great. You need to order first and then find a seat and your order will be served. We ordered the fish and chips ans scampi and coke. We didn't have to wait too long. Only the chips were good . The coke we were served was almost tasteless. One of the coke served was almost colourless so we asked to get a new one ... and it was still tasteless. The fish was big but just tasted of fried batter, just like the scampi. It was not a full scampi per bite but it seemed like a small piece with a thick batter. The tartar sauce was also too much, after a few bites it felt too sickening. I felt it was too thick and rich. I would not coming back for the food. Each menu cost around 15~ 19 GBP and I felt this cost too much for what it's worth. Maybe their alcoholic beverages are better, but I cannot say.

As a chef I love to try all cuisines the first time i came to your establishment the food was excellent 2 beef burgers the second time the beef burger was dry and the pie was amazing off night maybe i don't know what happened tonight but the food wasn't good steak sandwich i asked for medium rare the steak was like eating beef jerky tough as and the sandwich bread was not toasted and the steak was 5 small cubes with lettuce no cheese no tomato no egg no bacon crispy onions flavourless check your salad the dressing it isn't nice and the cheese toastie if your not going to put salt and pepper on the tables please season the food i would have said something but the waitress was busy at the bar and when she came she grabbed our plates and rushed of i said something but she didn't hear me I put a 3 star because not everything is bad and the atmosphere was amazing your pub is amazing but if you don't do the small things right you won't reach your full potential all the best

Super friendly and helpful staff, rich menu full of options from chicken and beef burgers — even vegan burgers — sandwiches, steak, and lots of small plates to choose from. The “small plate” appetizers are quite generous and perfect for sharing. Their beer selection is quite lovely, the IPA I tried was only around 4% alc. and tasted quite refreshing. A lovely classic sports pub with the perfect atmosphere for solo dinners and friend gatherings alike. Will definitely be coming back for the good vibes and to try their fried chicken burger.
