    Wow! What an amazing place. Looks like an ordinary pub. However, they got a beautiful beer garden, and see extremely great food with inspiration from Japan. I had the pork okonomiyaki with two pale ales. Probably the best meal in London so far. The price is really good considering the quality and size of the food. Update: This place also rotate the kitchen. During my time in London they've also had a gang serving ribs (amazingly good), Turkish street food (pretty average), and now they have smash burgers (really amazing). Love this concept, and if you like burgers like me you should head there now! I'll be back soon again! They were fully booked on this Saturday from 3pm and onward, but during lunch you can find a table without a problem! Side note: great music!

    Great place with very friendly staff and good selection of beers, our favourite was lemon meringue! Definitely not to miss the pub quiz every Sunday at 7.30 for 3 pounds as its a lot of fun and very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Outside seating is available too! However, the PRICES are unreasonably HIGH - over 7 pounds for 2/3rds of a pint!

    Great pup, great vibe and the quiz evening is a real fun. The food was okay ish and the veggie burger was a total miss (guys, it's really not good).

    Connor is the best in the business! If you have the honour of him to pour you a pint you will be blessing your lucky stars. This lad knows his stuff. He knows all the beers. All the flavours. All the history. He is also a cocktail whizz! Name any cocktail he's got you sorted, even if it ain't on the menu. The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster? he's got you covered. The pub is a lovely place and has a great atmosphere. (well I've only been there when Connor has been working there so that says something (i've been in there a hell of a lot and he is always there. Give the man a break)) Amazing beer garden, great vibes super chill, has giant connect four what more do ya need. Top notch food. Changes kitchen like every now and again, for a different cuisine that smacks. Make sure you ask Connor to pair a beer with your meal because the young man knows what he's chatting, you will not be disappointed with this geezer. Absolute a top lad and a great pub I cannot wait to try a new beer that Connor recommends because he has the passion and I can taste that passion every time. The pub will have a hand full of new beers like almost every third moon. This man runs the shop. Can't give him enough credit! Definitely worth every penny this kid, so best give the top bloke a tip.

    The food was horrible . Nothing tasted good and we simply spend our money . couldn’t even eat it . Very bad food. Felt like asking back our money. Everything was raw and uncooked and tasteless

    Spent NYE here with a bunch of friends, The staff were friendly and attentive.The pub itself is a big and beautiful old English pub, super cute, spacious downstairs with plenty of places sit and the beer garden out the back is huge and clean, the seats also have outdoor heaters above them that keep you warm. There is a upstairs part with its own bar too, massive big room which would be great for private parties. Cant wait to come back, Thanks Gipsy Queen!

    Had food in here on Friday evening, meeting friends before a weekend of events around the town. Quieter upstairs with plenty of room. The menu is limited and heavily focused on plantain and chilli. I was OK with that, as it came quickly, but I regretted it a bit in the morning before the swimming gala we were in because I needed 4 poo's before 9am. The pub also offered us a free Guinness because the barman was installing the latest take a can of Guinness and shake it in front of the customer device that they keep creating.

    We had a sunday roast yesterday. Everything was spot on- excellent beer, service, atmosphere (especially teh real fire we were given a table beside). the roast was superb, the roast potatoes espacially, crispy and done to perfection. On top of which we had lovely, charming service from people who seemed to geneuinely enjoy their jobs. Everything just right!!

    I love coming for the Sunday pub quiz. The community of regulars are super welcoming and encouraging. The quiz master, Owen, is funny and keeps the crowd engaged throughout. There’s a great selection of beers, wines, and cocktails. The dinner menu rotates but is delicious every time I eat here. The desserts are decadent and the perfect sweet treat to cap off a weekend. Pub staff are friendly and provide great recommendations when you’re feeling indecisive. A good time all around :)

    Had a Sunday roast which was very tasty. We had the pork and beef. Both tasty, would recommend the beef more. The yorskhires and potatoes were great. And the pub itself is lovely.

    Had the best time at the Gypsy Queen last weekend. Highly recommend their menu and the awesome room upstairs for party bookings!!

  • 5/5 Adam B. 1 year ago on Google
    The drink prices are quite reasonable for the area, they won't charge you above £1 for a Lime Soda 🥳 (Food not tried) . And the atmosphere is lovely, very open, well lit and no dingey corners. They need some better boardgames, but all in all, a perfect pub.

    Great Sunday roast, in fact my favourite in NW5. I was also impressed by their wines, not a given at the pub.

    The pub itself has a cozy vibe, and the Yorkshire puddings and potatoes were spot-on. Plus, the staff were lovely and made the whole experience even better! 🍽️👌
