StuartNovember 16, 2012Fantastic back street boozer. Great choice of beers/lagers and friendly staff.,
Janet CheungSeptember 1, 2014I used to work here 15 years ago. It's had a makeover which I can't say I prefer but generally always has good staff. Close to the uni so lots of young people around.
Dominic GallelloDecember 27, 2019Amazing community, friendly staff, great food and delicious drinks! A hidden gem and local spot.
Jon EwingJune 25, 2023Battered haddock and chips was very tasty and at £17.50 it's pretty good value for this part of town. Service was efficient and friendly.
Gozde AcarOctober 1, 2017Disrespectful bartender. It's the first time that I experienced this in London. What a shame in the middle of Kensington!
TyJanuary 27, 2012I may be American but consider myself a burger connoisseur and Builders makes a fierce burger. Friendly service and vibe as well
Order the nachos, they're £5.50 and worth every penny :)Also they do amazing pitchers of Pimms in the summer for a really good price.
Wahyd VannoniMay 7, 2010Say hello to Mike, he has a table with his named reserved right by the Alban's Grove entrance.
Brendan QuinnJanuary 19, 2014Closed for renovations as of Jan 2014... Hopefully it'll open again very soon!
L DAugust 22, 2021Slow (aprox 40 min for 2 roasts), poor quality and rude service. Awful value for money. Has gone downhill. I do not recommend.
My local pub, I love the place but unfortunately the food isn't that great..
