What an amazing experience! Such a quaint place. The chicken and artichoke pie was exceptionally scrumptious. The venison medallions was a special of the night and was wonderful. Topped off the meal with the burnt cream aka English creme brulee and I couldn't have asked for a better Birthday meal during our visit to London. This is a must go to restaurant either whilst visiting or if you live there. Also the waitress Suzy was a delight and such a doll. read more

Wonderful eclectic English restaurant. Super service and believe it or not we would've rather sat in cellar - not a 5 star as while good nothing exceptional about food we had - sea been and chicken - however the "burned cream" aka crime brûlée was about the best we had. Our waiter was Daniel and he was friendly and interested. read more

Delicious food, charming candlelit atmosphere, terrific waitstaff, and Patrice! He was delightful and accommodating on a Saturday evening. We will be back. read more

My wife, daughter, and I came here because of the good rating here on yelp. Not sure how it got so many stars because it was unimpressive. It had a nice atmosphere, with candles on top of wine glasses and the feel of an old english home kitchen. The service was really slow and we had to flag our waiter down multiple times. I had the steak and kidney pie, which was just okay. My wife had the salmon with hollandaise, which had bones in the salmon still. I tried the bread and butter pudding which was so disappointing. The bread part was actually good but the sauce was so plain. It tasted like a can of warmed up tapioca pudding. read more

Friend told us about this place. I work in London once a month and without a doubt this was the best meal I've eaten in this town. The french onion soup was so buttery rich I wished I hadn't offered to share my bowl! My rump of lamb was done to perfection including the salty crisp outta finish. And, the creme brûlée was outstanding. The meal was unhurried and our servers solicitous but not in our face all the time. The ambiance is what the other reviewers have said- quaint, rustic and romantic. Find this place and enjoy a great meal! read more

Incredible. Can't ask for a more authentic experience. Roast chicken, gravy and brad sauce were great. Amazing ambiance and the bread pudding is really good. Amazing ambiance - from the creaky floorboards and rustic atmosphere to the lighting steaming through the windows. To top it all off, the service was extremely friendly and accessible. Wish I had this as my neighborhood go-to. read more

Great for long lunches and hearty fare. Very English decor and sensibility to take visitors from overseas.

what I liked about this restaurant is the atmosphere, it's a really nice place for a date or a couple, nice service and good food. If you go on a weekend it's recomended a reservation, I will go there again! read more

I haven't been here in a while but I was a bit disappointed when I finally went on a dinner here last night. It seemed nothing like before and maybe it was me but the place seemed too ordinary and dull to catch my eye. Food was good, service not so much. read more

The food was so delicious I will definitely return every time I visit London. I wish I ate there earlier in our trip so I could return every night to try the whole menu! Atmosphere and service were excellent but the food was sublime. read more

I can happily say with confidence that I have found my new favorite restaurant in London. On many previous trips/layovers in London I had peered through the dark outside widows and saw what appeared to be a very cozy atmosphere where diners were dining by beautiful warm candlelight. So, one of my good friends and renowned "foodie" and I decided to try Maggie Jones's. From the moment we entered the restaurant where we were promptly and warmly greeted by Patrice and Christine, I knew we were in for a treat! If you are like me, and love authentically rustic décor with dark stained hardwoods and candles glowing on every table, you too will fall in love with this amazing gem of a restaurant. The lovely jazz music from the 30s to the 50s adds to this unbelievable establishment's ambiance just as the hanging baskets with dried flowers do. Now, let's talk FOOD! The menu is simple, elegant and wholesome, yet, unique with interesting specials displayed on a movable chalk board that the servers bring to each booth or table. I have had the pleasure of being served by Oliver twice now and he is both personable and professional. The timing of the food delivery and presentation was spot on! I thoroughly enjoyed one of the freshly prepared salads as a starter and then, "as the Brits say", tucked in to a perfectly seasoned and deliciously cooked rump steak of lamb. The side dish of their baked cauliflower & cheese served in a mini iron skillet was delectable! If you choose to dine on the lower level, you can watch the amazing Portuguese chefs, Grace and Martin create their magic on a plate that I'm told they've been doing here for nearly 40 years. After an amazing dinner, we were given a full tour of the 3 level rustic wonderland known as Maggie Jones's along with some fun history about the former "home" now restaurant. The prices are neither inexpensive nor overpriced especially in London near Kensington! But I find the value more than fair for what I will call my favorite dining experience in 8 years of laying over in London on a weekly basis. Yes, I'm an international flight attendant who has had the good fortune of experiencing some amazing meals, especially in Paris and many other cities in Europe and South America. I have to say, Maggie Jones's is now at the top of my list! read more

We went here for dinner on the recommendation of our tour guide. What a find! Food was top notch, surpassed only by the service. The atmosphere is laid back and a little kooky. If I ever find myself in London again, I will definitely stop here. read more

if you are wondering where to take out of town guests ... for a memorable evening - this is the place. your old auntie's attic meets a contemporary take on british and european classic dishes. the ambiance is fun, eclectic, random, chaotic but somehow all very relaxing. wait-staff were foodies and knew their stuff. sufficiently patient and thick skinned to handle a largish and animated crowd. (sorry - but we were good tippers so everyone went home happy i hope). love their potted pies and the large carafs of red wine! love this place read more

I must have walked past this restaurant hundreds of times, but this afternoon was the first time I had dined at this lovely restaurant. Located just off Kensington Church Street (High Street Kensington end), one of our colleagues recommended this to me and my other female colleague, Emma. As Emma is leaving for a new job in a couple of weeks, we thought we'd enjoy going out for lunch before she goes. It's really quaint inside, we were warmly greeted and although the place was reasonably busy, we managed to get a table. We looked at the lunch special menu, and we ordered steak and kidney pie (which came with free sides of peas & carrots). The plates that the food were served on were really cute (country style), and most importantly the pie and vegetables (which counted towards my 5 a day ;-)) was delicious. Obviously no meal is complete without a dessert and the waiters brought a blackboard to show us what was on offer, Emma had bread & butter pudding and I had apple crumble and cream let's just say, it didn't take long before we finished! The lunch menu was reasonable in cost, our meals together with a drink (and service charge) came to about £20 each. All in all, both Emma and I thought the food and service was soo good, we're making this one of our favourites. Good hearty English food in the heart of Kensington. Just BEAUTE :-) read more

All I can say is WOW!! My friend and I were in London and looking for a great place to eat on a Saturday night. We were extremely lucky to find Maggie Jones! When we walked in we quickly realized this was a place where reservations should have been made. But the staff was amazingly accommodating and we were able to get a beautiful booth. The restaurant is dark and has an eclectic feel of the English countryside. The food was superb! I had the lamb and the moment I tasted it I felt as if it may have the best thing I've ever eaten! I didn't want it to end! Let's just say our meal didn't feel like a meal but rather an event of wonderful flavors, coupled with incredible service! I am so sad that I live in LA and will not have a chance to eat here again until next spring. You can bet the moment the plane touches the ground, you know where I'll be headed!! read more

Always a pleasure to eat here. The ambiance is warm and quaint with absolutely wonderful service. The food is delicious, wonderfully prepared and excellent choices for everyone. I wish they were on OpenTable so I would remember to book them more frequently but they are worth calling to ensure I get a table. Going to Maggie Jone's is always a good choice!!! read more

I am 12 years old and this is some amazing food there is some great food I highly recommend smoke chicken and avocado salad and please go here it is GREAT!!!!!!!!!! read more

Went here with my fiancé for lunch as our first stop in London. We wanted to eat at a traditional British pub and this place was great. The atmosphere was the best part about this place, and it felt very authentic. No tourists, just straight up British cuisine (pies, roasts, vegetables etc.) would definitely come back just for the ambiance. We got the fish pie and the rump of steak for entrees. Both were tasty. Our favorite meal was the dessert, Bread and Butter pudding with custard, it was absurdly good. Service was fast and everyone was very nice. read more

Discovered this place by chance when taking a stroll on High Kensington Road. Looked very warm and inviting, and I wasn't disappointed! The atmosphere is old world rustic with low lighting and lots of candlelight. Reservations were required, but I got there early and the host was kind enough to offer a small table upstairs. Had the venison with red cabbage and chips, a delicious and filling onion soup, and "burnt cream" (aka creme brulee) for dessert. All was delicious (even the filtered coffee was great)! However, the price point is a little high (100 pounds for a dinner for 2 people, without alcohol... about 163$ CDN). A nice experience, but might not return due to price. read more

The atmosphere is incredible! The staff was extremely friendly. We called and were able to get a same day reservation. We arrived 25 minutes early and they were able to seat us. You must visit this restaurant if you're in London! read more

Awesome place with real British food. The staff are friendly (even to us Yanks!) and the food is always very good. I have been here a number of times and the quality is a always good no matter what I order. This is a good place to take out of town guests to help change their mind about English food. read more

Outstanding food! The staff was friendly and professional. Portions were very large and tasty!

Great british food. Visited as a tourist at the recommendation of the hotel we were staying and it was up to our expectations. Loved the tradtitinal menu. My favorite was the cauliflower cheese. Yum! My husband had a steak which he said was delicious. read more
