This might be a controversial review but this pub is a whole experience. The place is full of old pictures and artifacts and it has been open since 80s so you feel like you’re time traveling. They have a no mobile phone police but it’s alright, you can use it. The landlord is grumpy but you’ll get it when you go - he’s there for more than 30 years! They have a good selection of beers and ciders, few spots to sit inside and four tables outside if it’s a sunny day. Local pub, not hyped, good for a beer with friends.
Great pub on a quiet side street. Very traditional and old school. Good cask ales. Highly recommend!

❤️ This pub is like a box of chocolates.

The Nags Head is located on tranquil Kinnerton Street at the northern end of Belgravia. Getting here is easy, Knightsbridge Tube is just a five minute walk away.

This pub or to be precise the owners are infamous for being rude to unsuspecting punters who have visited this boozer. So here’s my take on visiting The Nags Head.
.
This pub has two bars, a bar at the front and a sunken bar down some stairs at the side of the servery. The front bar is unusually set at seating height which I liked. The walls and every available space are filled and covered in bric-a-brac and memorabilia. If you get the chance, it’s worth having a nose around to explore some of the more quirky stuff.

As this pub is independent the beer choice was varied. I thought I’d sample a new beer to me, Adnams Dry Hopped Lager. My pint was nice enough but at £7 made it the most expensive pint in Belgravia! The food options here are sandwiches and cheese boards, there is a menu but it has no prices on it. Just a note on paying, there is a £15 minimum spend if using a card. Oh and don’t ask for tap water unless you want to wind up the bar staff, many punters have ended up with a flea in their ear for such a request.

I visited here with my brother and nephew, we arrived around 3pm and the pub had few punters in sat around the bar. I did my homework before I visited and was aware of the Guv’nor’s reputation for being cranky. To be fair, he was good as gold with us and we had a bit of banter with him around how to pay. I heard many stories about how rude the service can be but I guess we caught him on a good day. The soundtrack was 60’s hits and the overall ambiance was very enjoyable. Another note, no using your phone or your out the door, I stealthily took a few photos when he wasn’t looking 😀.

You have to visit this pub but I can’t guarantee what type of experience your going to have. Personally, I really enjoyed it. My only negative was the price point so be prepared to spend a few quid.
