The North London Tavern

I didnt have the same positive experience with the North London tavern. I've been there twice as its near home however both times the dining hall has been near empty. When i went the first time, i simply had the steak and a variety of salads as a side. My steak was ok but my broccoli was completely raw, i struggled to bite into it as the stalks were so tough. Puddings were ok, though i just had ice cream so you cant really go wrong. The menu's look intensive and expensive but after this experience, i didnt want to risk wasting my money on anything else. My second time was just for drinks, and i unfortunately sat in the area near the dining area and loos and it stunk! It was disgusting – the loos had no toilet paper and just werent clean enough. This put me off completely. Its a shame because id hope Kilburn is getting better but i think there is definitely a need for decent gastropubby places in the area – this place just needs to work hard on improving itself. My advice – go for drinks only, sit on the left hand side of the pub and avoid the loos!

The food was superb excellent quality of meat and vegetables as well as excellent service. Highly recommend
