I am quite confused, because on first impression, this pub seems nice and the reviews of it seem to indicate that it is worth a visit. However, the food is nothing to write home about and the food service was down-right rude (bar was ok)... in fact, it was laughable.

Apparently there’s another Anglesea Arms in Shepherd’s Bush, but I’m not sure if they’re related, as this is the only Anglesea Arms I’ve ever visited in London. It’s a typical traditional pub – not much to write home about, but not much to complain about either. They also don’t play music, which is a good or bad thing depending on what you fancy.

We discovered the Anglesea Arms quite by accident as we were staying in a flat in Onlsow Square on a short let in January of 2003. As we are wont to do we were walking in the neighborhood and there it was. We went in the smoke filled pub and then down to the lovely restaurant below. The service and the food were excellent. Delightful menu items. The ales were great as well. Highly recommended!
