Scoff And Banter Kensington

Lovely place, food and service! Ate here in the evening with my baby and husband and we felt so welcome and comfortable! Usually, eating out in a nice restaurant with a baby is awkward to say the least (worries about crying disturbing others, looks from staff etc.). However, our last minute request to sit in the bar was accommodated, the staff were engaging and friendly, provided heating equipment for baby food & even ran out to carry my buggy down the stairs when leaving. Atmosphere: Classy restaurant & bar, perfect for a family meal, solo or date night. Dress code was smart/ casual. Food & drink: Delicious. Not an extensive menu but the seasoning & cooking was perfect. Good selection of alcoholic & soft hot and cold beverages. Reasonably priced. Catered for allergies. Service: Professional, not overbearing, and well trained in proper service (napkins on laps etc.). The restaurant manager was also visible throughout the evening. Facilities: No lift to entrance or baby changing facilities. Toilets were spotless, fancy & recently renovated. Short walk from the museums. We would definitely visit again if in the area.

Amazing restaurant - exceeded expectations. Food was great and the duck salad was beautifully presented and flavoured. The fish and chips were a bit too salty for my liking (arrived with flakes of sea salt on) but that's likely due to personal preferences. Friendly and fast service. The staff were really accommodating to the fact we had a show to rush off to. Atmosphere was lovely, not too loud and beautiful decor.

As visitors from the states we were extremely impressed with our lunch and the service we received. The coffees were top quality, and I’m not comparing them to the ones we get back home (sadly, there aren’t any coffees that come close to European standards), but the ones we’ve had through our many journeys through Europe. We ordered a burger, cheese plate, spinach salad, and I had fish and chips, with the best tarter sauce I have had. We ordered two desserts: sticky toffee pudding and something our server, Parth, recommended called eton mess. Both were excellent and the eton mess was a huge hit with us. Parth gave exceptional service and was welcoming, personable, and very kind. The layout is beautiful, relaxed, with several casual areas to lounge in comfortable chairs and sofas. Great atmoshpere/experience and highly recommend!

I got the Portobello Wellington. The food was fantastic both in presentation and flavor. Service was the fantastic as well. Atmosphere was nice. They really tried to keep a good balance between modern and using the original place as it was, so it was clean and well maintained but still had an older feel to it.
