A hipsterish joint, as evidenced by the sign "Fondues tonight" by the door. All arty farty furnishings and decor with a kitchen counter at the far end and various signs flogging cocktails, with an appropriate soundtrack playing. It does at least have London Pride on handpump and a couple of craft brews from Two Tribes alongside the more usual keg stuff. I suppose if you are in the mood it is ok, and at least the staff were warm and friendly.

Like the Whippet Inn, this place initially gives the impression that it’s a pub of some vintage, but like the Whippet, this too is a very modern conversion, formerly a branch of Barclays; if I’d known, I’d have not bothered photographing it 14 years ago and certainly wouldn’t have wasted my time paying a visit; likewise, the Whippet.
The interior can be seen on their website, but essentially, it’s a style bar – cum – gastro thing, Kensal Rise being the easternmost outpost of NW10, where the Jundland Wastes are not to be travelled lightly; customers were older more professional types, unlike the young things at the Whippet.
There was a Pride clip spotted, but as it was getting late, I decided not to increase Fuller’s share price.
Pending reopening of the Masons, the William is the preferred choice in this neck of the woods.
Date of visit: 17th November 2024.
