The Knight of Nottinghill

Truly lovely pub and very reasonable for London. Had a very nice feel and the drinks choice was great. Everyone was very friendly and the place was very clean. Had a little bit of a musty smell but it wasn’t insufferable. Would happily go again

We spent the morning at the Museum of Brands which shares the same side street of Lancaster Road as this establishment. It was thus the closest place for us to unwind and relax after being hours on our feet. Very spacious with lots of seating. It felt like it might have been an area known for weird activity as there was a hefty guard /bouncer on alert duty and constantly going in and out of the restaurant. It was a little unnerving to be honest. We had lunch of Tempura whitebait with date & tamarind chutney and pappardelle pasta with blue cheese and crispy sage. Both were okay. I always find simpler is better. Personally, I feel they are trying too hard to be a posh restaurant rather than going for tried and tested pub fare. The whitebait would have been perfectly fine on their own. The sauces didn't add to it in anyway. The prices reflect the area which is a little on the higher side. Service we felt could have been better. It was confusing having 2 servers and they clearly didn’t like each other, and one seemed to be ‘in training’. We were charged for an extra beer we did not consume, and it took a while for our bill to be sorted with the 2 servers arguing and the manager having to get involved. Some work is needed on the concept, food and service.
