When you get to see the Plump DJ's for �5.00, you could serve me a beer in a dirty shoe and I would still come back. Thankfully, the staff were fresh out of footwear so bottles of Budvar were the poison (which unfortunately were warming as the clock neared midnight as the cold fridge supply dwindled). The six shots for �12 I thought was an exceptionally reasonable price for white sambucca shots (not your average cheap "Corkys" rubbish as is often available on shot deals). Returning to my first statement, Plump DJ's for �5.00 - bring it on. Keep the grand line-ups coming.

Visited for a Sunday roast. Regrettably was driving from London so didn't have the opportunity of sampling what appeared to be a generous selection of real ales on offer. The tap water wasn't the greatest (said with tongue in cheek), but the ice and lemon more than made up for this! The roast was a fair serving and the beef was not over cooked or dry which is so frequently the case for "Sunday" pub roasts. The staff were obliging and the decor a mix of new fit and traditional pieces. I think it worth a visit - if you happen to be in the area...

The Prince Bonaparte, Westbourne Grove
Went to the PB last night for friend's birthday. It was particularly busy, but then you expect that for a pub in this location on a Saturday evening. I thought the selection of beers was fantastic - a few friends deciding to get stuck into the pink Fruli. I recommend the food - the 10oz beef burger came with the kitchen sink and even for a big eater - it was a struggle to consume! The bar staff were helpful and attentive in the most part. The patrons were a bit la de da - but not generically too pretentious to cause aggrevation. All in all a decent venue with warm and bustling astmosphere.

The Goat Tavern, Kensington
Hmmm... granted, trying to find a pub in the general area with a tv is not sensible, but the Goat at least offered a television. That the picture was unclear and shadowing is beside the point. My objection lies with being told that food would be available after 25 minutes when in fact it arrived 50 minutes later. The garlic bread, at almost �5, was sadly inept. The chicken and mushroom hotpot did not even half fill the small bowl it arrived in. As for th side vegetables that it accompanied it, Mr. McCain must still be growing those as they appeared in the form of half a baguette. On the plus side, the fish and chips being delivered to other tables did look palatable. Unfortunately, the negatives won't see my return custom.
