Not far from Nottinghill Gate Tube Station, this is a lovely looking pub both inside and out. The floral display is very good for London (car fumes and general bad air kills things in London), it always looks a picture. Inside it is packed with Churchill (The Great British Leader of WW11, not the ciggy firm) pictures and artifacts. Always seems to be full, often unable to get a table straight away, but there has always been enough space to stand on each occassion I have been. Shoppers, tourists and locals in about equal numbers frequent the place. The Fuller’s Brewery’s beers are in fine form here, in cask condition and not too cold/hot, a common fault in a lot of London pubs. The service has always been good, never the same staff (another London pub problem), but the ones here are obviously trained better than most. The selection is OK, but of course only Fuller’s beers are in casks, all the others are Lager type drinks. The pub is on a lot of bus routes, so not difficult to find and as I said earlier, fairly close to Nottinghill Gate tube. Well worth a visit.

Awesome pub, one of my favorites in London. The food is absolutely top-drawer for value. The dishes are hearty thai, big portions. The pub’s a Fuller’s outpost, and has most of the usual suspects. The beers are very well kept. The ESB, in particular, is always on form. Charming atmosphere.

Wander along Kensington Church Street and you can hardly miss the Churchill as the outside is a riot of flowers dripping from hanging baskets on the walls and troughs on the roof; and inside, the ceiling is dripping with chamber pots (not literally dripping of course!), brass and copper coal scuttles and other paraphernalia. It draws you in and is almost always busy with locals and tourists alike. They serve a good pint and have an excellent Thai restaurant at the back, which you glimpse if you go down the little flowery corridor to the ladies toilets. Thai food is also served in the bar and, at around £7.50 for a plate, it’s good value. The staff are friendly and efficient. (Last visited 16 July 2011).

Mind-boggling atmosphere--maybe the loveliest outside of a pub ever, with all kinds of flowers everywhere. Inside is all kinds of nick-knacks. The regular Fullers line with some lagers--not too inspiring lineup, food is Thai, looked good, servers are young ladies. Worth it just to see the pub.

Great Thai menu, invasive but cool decoration and plenty of cold Chiswick biitter. Loverly.

A very good-looking place from the outside. Inside it’s quite comfy, but there were a lot of people in here, and the families ruined the atmosphere a bit (sorry!). I just don’t want to hear children scream and run while having my pint. The ales were in good condition, I could have enjoyed a few more here. The selection seemed standard strong Fullers. There is a thai food place here, but I didn’t eat there, so can’t give a score. I didn’t like how the two of them were mixed up, gave an unbalanced feel for the place. An old polite gentleman was serving, very good straightforward service. A nice place, but maybe a little bit too much hassle for my taste. Should come back when there are fewer people.

A reliable and comfortable (except when the the place is packed solid, which is not uncommon) Fullers pub and the best place for a pint in the Notting Hill Gate area. Beer condition is almost always very good. Invariably has the Fullers seasonal and specila brews, which can’t be said for every Fullers house. Also has the Porter on tap permanently, albeit on keg. THe Thai food has a good reputation but I haven’t eaten here for a few years so I won’t give it a score.

This place is nice and cozy. Looks liker a giant flower box from the outside and has tons of political references inside. The service was very friendly and knowledgeable, though there really wasnt a big selection to be knowledgeable about. Standard mostly Fullers on tap, which worked fine for a short visit. The prices were pretty standard but the wierd (and awsome) thing about this place was the food. This classic english pub was linked to a thai restaurant in the back. The match is wierd but the food was great if you like Thai (which i do) Overall it was a great experience!

Nice pub near between Notting Hill and Kensington High Street. Standard selection of Fuller’s beers with a good Thai restaurant in the back.

Fairly standard Fullers pub best known for the Thai food. Beers are served in pretty good condition and well worth a visit if you are in the Kensington High Street/Notting Hill area, but not a destination in itself.
