The Beaconsfield, Kensington

Back in the new Firkin days this was a great little pub.

Such a shame to hear it has gone down hill.

I may have to swing back by as i used to really love this place and the staff.

Go back - or not??? Sometimes it is not a great idea... but i may just have to

A not so trendy green king pub - but its ok. I hear about Colin the manager / landlord who like to go next door to the Anglers because even though he hates to admit it as he is a grumpy but good natured old sod, knows in his heart of hearts that he is out done on every level by the boys next door. Green eyes monster strikes. See you for a beer or a bacardi and hint of coke soon old fella

Sounds to me like mr wishy-washy can not read or understand what is written. Im all for letting people have there say. But my issue was the claims that are not opinion - as false claims can damage a business. Please refer back to previous review postings if this makes no sense.

And i can honestly say that i do not work there. So hope that answers your question.

And least your feedback on here was constructive. Sounds like you were treated with some discourtesy and no one wants that. Like i say iv always been treated really good and i love the place... but if what you say happened, did and was the manager or duty manager then that really is not on... i hope they are reading this and taking note. Im sure they will as it sounds out of character

What silliness is this.

Sounds like davebatt69 and dillon!!! are lovers that have a bit of a problem.

Shame on who? Shame on you nut-job. Why try and name and shame people. It even looks like you are making it up. I very much doubt that you called the manager and got abuse back. It reads as one big fat lie.

Get a life bud... or if you really have an issue go in and see the nice folks at the white horse - they have always been great to me and my friends.

And if any of you out there reading this are interested, go in and form your own opinion and come back and post you views

This pub looks like it has gone through some ups and downs.

Great location

And a new management team in getting things ready for the summer.

Watch this space - lets see if things can turn around

I believe it will - this is a great pub with so much potential.

Anyone who has had a bad time here i urge you over the next few months give it another chance and talk to the guys in charge. They seem intent on making this pub great once again... so help them. Things do not change over night - but this place could have what it takes to win people back around. But it will take time...

... lets see if the comments on here start to improve over time

Best pub in leamington (and maybe even warwickshire)

Comments from fools that cant prove anything should not make comments regarding eating anywhere and alleged related illness. If this is the case and you think the two are related you should go see your dr or shut up. The fact you have no proof and it is not even about opinion which is what this site is for is reason enough for the last comment to be taken of by the sites hosts.

I eat here all the time and have never had a problem. Love the place. Great staff... always friendly. Tasty food and nice atmosphere.

Lovely range of drinks and served in some great glasses.

Some smashing little touches all around the place - really make this pub stand out. A great home from home.

Some nice live jazz every so often and a great 'real pub' quiz

Over all nice pub. It's what a local pub should be... glad i found it. Keep it up

P.S

Love the sweets - a new classic retro collection of sweets is a nice new addition. Just what i was talking about regarding nice little touches that make all the difference.

This pub needs to be seen
