Like the way they serve tea here. It comes in one
of those little cast iron teapots, with the relief pattern all over.
Very original. Decor is a bit bland though, it feels like an airport.
It is a good stopping point on your journey through Barkers though.
Perhaps the place is designed for gentile Kensington
ladies. I prefer to go somewhere that's a bit more atmospheric and
bustling.

If your mother comes to visit, take her here, she'll
love it. Afternoon tea here is brilliant. It is expensive, but who
cares when the surroundings are like this. It's a real Kensington
location.

Visited Scoffs on Kensington High Street, before going to see a
film on Saturday and I want to tell you Kensington people that you
mustn't miss the decor. It's like some kind of acid flashback. Somewhere
between a ski chalet circa 1966, a forgotten rural junk shop, a
scuzzy pub and a torture chamber, it's the land that time forgot.
Highlights include a whole zoo's worth of stuffed
wildlife and birds (the black furry boar's head being a particular
favourite), the varnished wooden chalet tables which must have seemed
a good idea 30 years ago - can't quite put my finger on what is
so weird about them but there's definately something ... the panelled
walls, the upholstered ceilings. The claustrophobia of it is positively
exhilerating in a Jean-Paul Satre kinda-way.
The food was OK in a Stockpot style, roast dinners
with all the trimmings and pasta dishes, and the service was fine,
but its hard to concentrate on anything such is the sensory overload
of the surroundings. It honestly felt haunted to me It was on my
mind for hours. Its a winner, a local treasure. Don't miss, because
it can't stay that way for much longer.

and comments on Troubadour
I have been going to the Troubadour
since 1987 and I have had very fond memories of it - it was truly
eccentric and its ambience was truly special - to have retained
its magic for so many years is a rare feat for a cafe in London.
Unfortunately, the management have thought fit to expand the premises
and although it has been very nicely decorated, it appears to have
lost its soul. I do hope that my view changes as it is early days
and maybe more can be done to bring back the magic.

This place is an institution round here. If you
haven't checked it out yet, do. The eccentric decor, with old coffeepots
in the window and bizarre stuff all over the walls is really worth
seeing. I've been to a poetry reading here which was good fun, believe
it or not. Food is good but nothing special.
One thing that bugs me here is the fact that they
seem to play the same Brandenburg Concerto over the stereo whenever
I turn up. A few times was OK, but now I've had enough.
