Queensbury, The

The Queensbury can be found in Walm Lane in leafy Willesden Green and ensures customers are given a quality pub experience every time they visit the refuge. Choose to take in the sunshine on benches outside or spend time in the stylishly quirky yet cosy interior.

British gastropub food is created from local and seasonal produce, and when available, organic. Lunch or dinner can be started with ham hock terrine with toast and pickles or a lovely roast tomato and pepper soup. Among mains, a Parmesan and sage gnocchi appears with baby beets, watercress and water vinaigrette, while guinea fowl is served with potato rösti, green beans and jus.

Expect to find toast, butter and jam; Belgian waffles, crispy bacon and male syrup, and Greek yoghurt, summer berries and honey for brunch at weekends while choices such as anchovies on toast, Welsh rarebit and Spanish tortilla can be had as bar snacks. There's also a full Sunday roast each week.

Desserts could include hot chocolate fondant and a plate of English cheeses. Wines and cocktails ably support the dishes.
