Any pub that serves Frulli gets my vote.
I do love the Prince Albert, although due its location it does get rather rammed. Great atmosphere, good food (average wannabe gastro style), cute garden with fairy lights.
The worst thing about this pub is the service. It has always been too slow and sometimes rather moody. Why do moody people always get jobs in pubs I wonder? Because place like the PA keep employing them. However, this has not stopped me from returning. So it can’t be that bad…it isn’t, but it’s annoying when you can feel yourself sobering up in between drinks as you are waiting by the bar for service. Its festival queuing syndrome, where people start bulk buying. Wait Wait Wait.
ANYWAY…always a good mix of people and lots of place to sit.
Tuesday from 5pm is £10 a bottle on all wine. Which is good if you only want to out for a quick drink on a Tuesday and before you know it you are saying hello to bottle number 3!

great pub near the tube station, nice little heated outside area, good starting place to meet friends for a quick drink before moving on elsewhere. Service pretty slow probably due to place being fairly busy, but venue appeals as convenient location and pleasant decor, good atmosphere

I haven’t visited this pub since the summer because I found this to be one of the worst pubs in the Notting Hill area. Not because of the pub itself as I think it’s quite nice and large and do like the beer garden at the back especially in the summer. But because of the poor bar staff they seemed to have. Frequently I had to wait for a while as it was clear the bar staff were not serving people in turn and had no idea what was going on. Its disappointing as the pub is in a good location and very close to Notting Hill tube station. Instead of going here I would advise people to visit the Churchill Arms which is about 5 minutes away and has a much better atmosphere with staff who know what they are doing.

A lovely pub in Notting Hill with a gorgeous fairy-lit, heated garden. Lots of character, good and reasonably priced food menu, cool clientele - but not too cool.
They have Fruli on tap, which is good if you like an occassional frivolous fruit beer.
Can get a bit too busy in the evenings, but this is a super place to come for afternoon drinking.
