Gloucester Arms in Kensington and Chelsea

Great place for American Football fans to watch the game!

I recently visited this Pub, and it was a fantastic experience! The ambiance was warm and inviting, with dim lighting, nice décor, and a lively vibe that made it perfect for a night out. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring that our group had everything we needed. The drink selection was excellent, featuring a mix of craft beers, creative cocktails, and classic options. I highly recommend trying their cocktails, which was perfectly balanced and delicious. The food menu was equally impressive, with hearty pub classics and modern twists on comfort food. Whether you're looking for a casual hangout or a lively night this Pub is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back soon!

Excellent experience at this Pub.

Had fish and chips - worst fish ever - very small, thin, overcooked, very dry and like leather around the edges - been frozen too long? First fish I've had that I had to chew to break it down enough to swallow!. Friend had a pie - lots of sauce and very little content. Other friend had a burger - that was fine. Music was SO LOUD couldn't hear ourselves think.

Meal for 8 prebooked. Absolutely fantastic service from all the staff especially the young man who we believe was in charge. Despite roasts not being available we were very happy because we were dealt with so well and professionally and in a wonderfully friendly manner.

I ordered a glass of Disaronno and they gave me half a small glass for £8. I asked for more ice and they said they didn't have any left (in a bar) and didnt even full the entire glass with coke. The waiter looked at me with a dirty look.

Visited when down from Scotland recently. Coolers broken so choice limited. Bartender didn't know how to pull a pint of Guinness correctly but knew how to charge the £8.

Decent food but noisy environment...the group of Japanese chatted loudly!!!

Great pub, staff beep polite and friendly, will definitely come here again. The location was perfect. Very close to Kensington palace and park.

It’s the kind of place that strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and refined, making it suitable for both a special occasion or a casual meal with friends.

Great place , truly excede my expectations. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations without being overbearing. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is a priority here.

The fish and chips were outstanding. That's exactly what I wanted when we arrived, and I got it.

Had a great dinner with amazing service from Jack. Football and rugby on the screens, good Christmas vibes and delicious pints. If you feel like getting fat, get the sticky toffee pudding. Cheers!

Very good from ITALY.... The food was great and the welcome was great. Recommended London Pub As soon as I return to London I will definitely be back to eat and drink some great beer. GRAZIE 🇮🇹

Went in to get out of the cold and had basic pub grub. Clean pub but bathrooms were questionable

This was an awesome spot for a “welcome” into Kensington. My family and I arrived today to celebrate our daughter’s 2nd birthday. We are staying at the Double Tree around the corner and walked around the area, stumbling into Gloucester where Jack greeted us and made us feel at home! Hoping to make it back in before we head back home!

Average at best. Poor pigs in blankets, letdown 🧑‍🎄

Standard Green King pub, not high end. Servers were friendly but very busy. Ladies toilets needed a bit of attention but again down to the staff being very busy.

Love this pub. Haven't been in for years sadly hasn't changed much at all back tonight and happy days.

Nice vibey boozer with good drinks choices

La comida fue excelente y el trato mejor todavía. Nos han atendido fenomenal sin duda volveremos a visitar este sitio. To fue un 10.

Great Night at Gloucester arms tonight! The atmosphere was awesome and the drinks and food was delicious. Our bartender David was awesome gave us drink recommendations and they were perfect! Would definitely recommend

The Gloucester Arms is a delightful pub with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The decor blends traditional and modern styles, creating a cozy spot for drinks and dining. Their menu features classic pub fare, with the fish and chips being a standout. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. With a nice selection of ales and a lovely outdoor seating area, it's a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Highly recommended!

Gloucster Arms is a fantastic place that never disappoints. It’s a great atmosphere with great food and drinks. Bartender David gave us great recommendations on what to eat and drink. Highly recommend.

Poped in for a drink on our London trip, nice place and nice staff drinks reasonably priced for London.

Overall poor service which was unfortunate as it's a lovely atmosphere. Staff couldn't be more disinterested to engage with customers. Embarrassing experience for friends visiting me in London.

Terrible service, the employee at the bar are just rude and simple not in the mood to do their job.

Great beef ale pie, mash and mushy peas!

Food service was really slow when the restaurant wasn't really busy so 45 min wait time is not acceptable. Unfortunately I will never visit restaurant again.

Great atmosphere and retro music! Fun and friendly staff. Burgers were good and wine was reasonable price

Average pub with unpleasant odour but lovely servers. They were really bubbly and kind.

This is a nice traditional pub fitted with several screens that would great for watching sports. The cocktail menu is very good with nonalcoholic choices.

Very understanding waiter, despite the language barrier

I visited the Gloucester Arms to catch the latest Formula 1 race whilst visiting the UK, and I loved every bit of my first pub experience. The food was great, I ordered some small plates to share, the food was hot and flavourful, with good portions. The quality was evident in every bite. Henry, our server was incredibly welcoming and so funny from the moment we walked in. He was attentive making sure we had everything we needed. (He needs to move to USA! Places would love him! )The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement, but the space still felt cozy and inviting. As for drinks, they were full of flavour and nice and refreshing. All in all, the Gloucester Arms is an excellent spot to enjoy a meal, a drink, and some Formula 1 excitement.

Very good address and also very good service with Henry and Jack

Extraordinary and amazing experience. The food was delicious, everything tasted really good, I got great advice from the super sweet and fresh bartender/ server. Henry is really super nice and I thank him for the most fun and fantastic service. He served a VIP coffee special made for me, just like I wanted it. Sooo thank u so much for this truly wonderful experience today.

Thank you Henry for great service and giving us a wonderful time. The food was great, I recoment this place 👍😄We enjoyed it all😁

Jack and Henry were AMAZING. They helped us find a spot where we could watch the formula 1 race on a Sunday evening. Henry was super nice and personable and interacted with all the tables in our view. Jack kept checking up on us too. 2 good souls. We got some really good food and the sticky toffee pudding was yum yum. Great place and atmosphere.

We looked around for places we could watch the formula 1 race but no one had it running. Henry and Jack not only had it up and but got is a great spot to watch it from. Both were extremely attentive even though the place was packed and busy. We will be back again just cause if these two. We didn't even leave a crumb of all the food we ordered.

Good vibes, food and beer! We were served by Henry, he was super nice and genuine! Would come back⭐️

Nice pub with good food:) Henry made us feel very welcome and gave us some useful tips for our time in London.

Loveliest staff, I was served by Henry and Jack. The chicken Caesar burger was excellent.

Henry was a great host! He accommodated us at the last minute and was super friendly. The food was perfect. Will be back.

Jack turned my experience into a 5-star overall, because his food recommendations were spot on (fish & chips with the mushy peas), service was above and beyond, and he smoothed over my disappointment about the pub not showing any American NFL games, contrary to both my Google search and their reviews on this specifically. For that reason I gave a 4-star instead of a 5... While I understand that local favorite sporting endeavors (Formula One in this case) trump foreign sporting initiatives, it should be considered to accommodate when there are thousands of foreigners (Americans in this case) in town (for NFL football in this case), and not one of four tvs could be changed. I'm not the only foreign visitor group(s) here right now which also walked to four different bars in the area with claims and reviews to specifically airing American football, but were disappointed and left high and dry in the end. If the tables were turned, I have no doubt that Any bar in my hometown would've made sure Formula One, NFL football AND Premier League soccer each got a tv, if there were three tvs, and just one patron asked (and it were possible). Thanks to Jack, I left happy in the end :)

Nice pub on first night in London. Great atmosphere. Had to place your food order at the bar but was delivered to our table promptly. Ordered fish&chips which were delicious.

As with most of the clientele, we were here before seeing David Gilmour at the Royal Albert Hall. We had, quite sensibly, booked a table in advance which had been kept reserved under my name, so that was a good start as the place was heaving. We had 45mins to order and eat, which might have been cutting it fine, but our order was taken immediately at the bar, and we were served 10mins later, giving us a leisurely 30mins to eat and drink. The food was plenty good enough for pub grub with generous portions. We left fed and happy, ready for the gig, which was exactly what we wanted 🙂

Jack was fantastic! Great service

Jack served us a delicious dinner and drinks on Saturday October 12, our first night in London! He was so warm and friendly we immediately felt at home at our first pub in London! The food was spectacular, burgers and fries were delicious. The drinks were excellent as well. Ha I was very attentive to our needs and we loved the Gloucester Arms! We highly recommend.

We had a bite and a beer before a concert. Loved the place. Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is typical for a London pub. I strongly recommand it

What a great evening. The food and atmosphere were comfortable, lively, and delicious. Our waiter/host, Jack, was great. The service was truly outstanding. Professional, and pleasant with a smile.

Gloucester Arms staff never fails to make the pub feel like home. It has a comfortable vibe for any local or visitor to get a great English pub experience. The drinks are always delicious and vibes are high. Great place to grab a quick drink or bite to eat while in South Kensington.

Definitely got ripped off on the drinks. £22.65 for a medium white wine and a pint of camden hells.

Great pup with fun atmosphere! Jack at the bar was really helpful.

If you like small portions of average food then this is the place for you.

The food tastes quite good, but it's not special and way too expensive. The ambience is quite nice and the service is friendly.

Drank here as an exchange student. Returned after 39 years and the place has the same friendly vibes. Henry and Jack are keeping the tradition alive! Plan a stop for a pint or five! Cheers!

Great friendly service from Henry the bartender! Highly recommend

I really enjoyed this pub. Coming from the states they had NFL on which was great! The service was also amazing! Henry and Jack were amazing.

Visited this place with my friend. Great find! The atmosphere was great, the staff were incredibly friendly, Jack and Henry made sure we had a nice time. The cocktails are great, in particular the Mohito. The food was delicious, I had the fish and chips, my first time having them, I'm now a big fan!

Excellent pub and football result …! and service Henry and his colleague outstanding, especially as short staffed looking after a very busy pub, friendly and professional. Delicious steak and chips. Buzzy atmosphere - we will return ☺️

Hanry was totally amazing. ☺️ Everything was perfect. 🍻

Jack and Henry were awesome servers. Great drinks and a fun atmosphere to watch some sports.

Such great vibes. Henry and Jack offer great service. Was so much fun to watch football.

Henry was a great bartender, Jack as well. Great atmosphere with fixtures playing. If you’re in the area check it out.

Jack was wonderful! Thank you sooooo much ♥️

It was a really nice place to grab a beer and food after a long day. Really nice service and the ambiance has a really nice old pub feel. I recommend this place for sure! It was a really nice discovery 👌

Visited this place with my friend, we both had a great time. Great selection of drinks, the atmosphere was great, cosy vibes. Henry and Jack were really friendly and made sure that we were looked after. Good selection of food that is reasonably priced, I had the steak and ale pie, which was delicious, would recommend! Definitely coming back to this place!!

Jack and Henry were working the night we visited. Super friendly and great service

Jack and Henry were brilliant, made us welcome on our first visit to the area

Great vibe and amazing atmosphere! Stopped here while traveling London, definitely come by here!! Please ask for Henry and Jack - they rock!!

The bar was great. Mark and jack were very helpful and provided good help.

Great vibes and great service from Jack and Henry. A great place to go grab a drink and watch a game!

Came for a one time drink. The atmosphere was great, food was delicious and the drinks… were amazing. Special praise for Henry and Jack, couldn’t ask for better service! They looked after us as well as other customers! Will be back for sure!

We loved Gloucester Arms! At the pub we were helped by Henry and he was very nice and even gave us tips on how to get discounts as local University students! Worth a visit if you are in the South Kensington Area.

Me and my friends always come here for an after work drink. Steve is great. He always looks after us. Thanks Steve

Our go to after work drinks place. Great service and amazing atmosphere. P.S.We love Steven he’s the best!!!!!!

Food is genuinely awful. Mac and cheese? No. Heinz from a tin chucked in the microwave. The burger I had was definitely a cook from frozen and it had little bits of bone in it, cheapest patties they could find. The bacon was anaemic, cooked by a microwave, pink and jelly. None of the food was served hot - luke warm at best. DONT ORDER FOOD FROM HERE. The second star was for the beer - they at least manage to keep that cold.

friendly neighborhood pub with great staff

The Gloucester has been my regular for a few years since working near by. Loving the vibes and friendly environment. Staff members are awesome, Laura, you rock, thank you for looking after me and my colleagues. Here’s to you and The Gloucester 😉👊

Amazing pub Laura is the best in the world !!

Great service always friendly, good atmosphere 👍

Hoped to get decent bit of pub grub, instead an overpriced and very small steak for 20 quid. You are Greene king, not Gordon Ramsey... Very poor.

Staff excellent especially Stephen the manager fantastic London pub.

Great place for a quiet drink with friends.

Very good time spent here, good choice of beers, nice food and special thanks to Laura for the service

Not a bad pub. There was a lot of noisy people in on a Tuesday though. Good service

Food is terrible..but spirits like beer etc was good

Great place for quiet drinks before moving on

Terrible experience, the staff was rude, very poor performance at the bar despite fact the place was pretty empty during Monday evening eyewitness several guys being ignored and left.

Pretty good pub food. Good location

A real English PUB. Great beer🍹🍸🥃🍷

Very few people, screening of several matches displayed on their site and only one match broadcast without sound🥴

I came here for my first drink when I landed in London. Henry was attentive & made the most delicious drinks. He was very helpful and made the whole experience so much more enjoyable.

Henry is an absolute legend. Made my day. Proper stand up lad and an absolute advocate for a good business liquid lunch. Big up Henry x

Great food, very good beer, and Henry who works behind the bar is one of the friendliest, most helpful hospitality workers you could wish for. The pub was full, but he was exuberant, welcoming and very helpful.

The guy behind the bar, Henry, was great. He let us sit at the bar and really helped us. Fantastic.

Excellent experience on Sunday family lunch. We hadn't booked but were able to get seated within minutes. We received lots of good advice, information on beers and ate an excellent Sunday roast (large portions both for us and for the children's menu).

First place I have been since I arrived in London. Amazing people and community. I truly recommend!! Thanks to Henry.

Gluster arms is the best. The atmospheres is buzzing, the service was great and Henry was the best!!!

Gluster arms is the best pub in London that i’ve been to. Henry serves the best pints i’ve ever had and i advise you to go and check it out.
