Pig & Whistle in Kensington

Dianne and Kate thank you so much. Proper Irish traditional music, friendly staff and the best prices for the area. Great spot lil outdoor patio and vaping allowed inside the best place I've been in a while. Love yall will be back xx

Proper old school estate pub. Busy on a Saturday afternoon like London pubs used to be before they all got gentrified or knocked down. They don’t make them like this anymore. Probably not long for this world so visit while you can.

Great bar with a fun team of regulars that lighten up the mood of the pub. Great for sports with a good amount of tellies, as well as a jukebox! The prices are mega for London and the staff is super lovely. Even has a pizza place in the beer garden. It’s got all the essentials. Recommend!

🚇 Latimer Road 🍺 £4.80 Amstel A Tight Knit Community Flat Roof Boozer. The Pig & Whistle is located on the edge of the Silchester and Lancaster West Estates in North Kensington. The nearest Tube is Latimer Road which is a two minute walk away. The Pig & Whistle is an unusual name for a boozer and there are many explanations for its origins. The most consistent one I found is that it originates from Anglo-Saxon times, “Piggen Wassail”. ‘Piggen’was a pail that you dipped your mug or ‘Pig’ into to fill it with Ale, ‘Wassail’ was Anglo-Saxon for “Be in health”. This is a simply decorated one bar pub that is split level. The servery runs pretty much the length of the bar to the lower section on the right. There is plenty of traditional seating throughout which includes a cosy curved banquette. The walls are painted a neutral grey and have a GAA shirt on the wall along with a trophy cabinet and a few TV’s. . There is a pool table, a Jukebox and a dartboard which is slightly tucked away. At the back of the pub is a large beer garden which is partially covered and has lots of benches. The beer line up was straightforward and was full of familiar favourites. I decided on an Amstel, my pint was excellent and pleasingly cost less than a fiver. The food here is by Notting Dale Pizza. There are a dozen or so pizzas to choose from, a 12” Margherita pizza costs £10.50, the pizza here receive rave reviews. I arrived around 5.30pm, the pub was busy with a predominantly local crowd from all ages and walks of life. The atmosphere was lively and upbeat set to a mix of Ska and chart tunes playing on the Jukebox. I drank half of my pint inside and decided to finish it off in the garden which was packed with lots of punters tucking into pizza. The pub hosts Live Music, Premier League action and GAA games. If you want to know what a proper community pub looks like, then look no further than The @pigandwhistlew10 .This is a tight knit pub that I have visited a couple of times and I have felt welcomed and enjoyed both visits. This is the quintessential Flat Roof Pub. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 22.09.23

It is a few steps from Latimer Road tube station. The people there are warm and friendly. There is a pub and open air area. Food and drink are ok too.
