Maggie Jones's

This is definitely a terrible restaurant. Food is horrible, overpriced and the service is poor. Please do not make the same mistake I did with my girlfriend.... I have lived in London for 15 years and this is for sure one of the worst restaurants I have been to.

I have never walked away from a restaurant feeling so angry and annoyed, and this was just due to the staff and service.

The restaurant was wonderful, and the food was fantastic, but the staff were in my opinion rude, making little comments which they may have thought were funny but to the group that I was with we found it some what offensive. We felt that we were being judged, and not worthy of the waiters attention as we were not going to be spending a fortune on drinks (it was a Sunday evening) and nor did we want a starter.

Needless to say we shall not be retuning nor will we be recommending Maggie Jones's to our friends.

The request to our Concierge (Baglioni) was a casual pub....Maggie Jones was it!! It was our favourite restaurant in London. Casual yet sophisticated, the service exceptional and the food was excellent! We had only 5 nights in London and we dined there twice!!!

Having spent the last weekend in London visiting family we find a lot of restaurants dont stand up to there claims, so when we where told we are going to a unique restaurant i thought oh not another one but to my suprise we where taken to Maggie Jones and from the outside it looked very small but like the tardis inside it blew us away what a start. the waiter was so welcoming and attentitive, friendly and only to happy to tell us all about this unbeleivable restaurant. The choice of food was ist class10/10, the taste 10/10, the service 10/10. I have travelled all over the world and dined in some of the best restaurants and Maggie Jones is up there with them, please go you wont be dissapointed.

One of the most consistent restaraunts in London. I have been an occassional customer for quite a number of years now and more recently this last weekend. I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience at Maggie Jones's. The atmosphere, quality of service and food is great and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Had a wonderful evening here recently. Arriving a bit keen they allowed me to take my table 15 minutes early and have a drink while waiting for my companion.

Our food (One grilled salmon with potatoes and french beans, one liver and bacon) was cooked perfectly, was tasty and satisfying, and the portions were big enough so you had to leave room for dessert.

The wine was reasonably priced and serviced in cute odd shaped glasses.

The ambience is what really makes it special though. Quirky, candlelit, romantic and laidback.

Perfect for canoodling or with small groups of friends for a treat.

The manageress Christine was without doubt a perfect host!!

I always have an amazing experience at Maggie Jones and have been back many times because of this. I have a background in the restaurant business so know when I come across a well managed operation. The service here is unpretentious and efficient. The decor is charmingly authentic. The food is proper English fare and is consistently delivered to a very high standard. I have spoken with the staff at length about various aspects of the business and was thrilled to hear the kitchen staff had been working there for ever- in 2009 Head chef 35 years, 2nd Chef 25 years and 3rd chef 18 years. Considering they squeeze into about 8 square meters, don't use a microwave, walk in chiller or any other mod cons you have to take your hat off to them. The manager Chrissy is a doll and has gone out of her way to help when I haven't booked early enough or have had a change of plans. She once sent us to a local pub for a drink whilst we waited for a table and because we didn't get reception on our phones sent a waiter to find us. Talk about he extra mile!!! The magnums of French Pinot Noir and Sauvingon Blanc are great value as is the Sunday Roast. All in all this is one of my favorite restaurants in London.

As residents of Kensington my wife and I have been customer's of Maggies for longer than we care to remember. We naturally use other local residence but when ever we are in need of comfort the warm welcoming ambience, the incredibly friendly staff and the simple home cooking never fail to impress and satisfy our needs. Long may she reign and cast of the critisisms of those who just don't get it.

I Love this place. We returned to Maggie Jones's after five years and nothing has changed. Chrissie is still as welcoming as ever. The staff are fun and friendly.

I was told by one of the boys that the chefs are the same. Still turning out the famous fish pie and the venison with red cabbage which was delightful. The wine list contained some greats and not very expensive for a london city centre restaurant.

We will definately be going back asap.
