The Betsy Smith, on Kilburn High Road, is a distinctly quirky venue complete with an oversized wardrobe that has been turned into a seating area. The striking décor with its red velvet curtains, walled garden and dimly lit nooks and crannies makes for an interesting meal.

A delightful menu offers a range of international cuisine options with starters including butterfly king prawns served on a bed of wild rocket with garlic and herb dressing, calamari and courgette tempura with chive and garlic mayonnaise or salad of mozzarella, avocado and tomato. Substantial dishes such as The Betsy burger with homemade Angus beef burger on a white bap with bacon and melted Cheddar, pan fried salmon steak with crushed minted new potatoes and a red pesto dressing or char grilled rib eye steak with grilled tomato, mushrooms and chunky chips make for a satisfying main course. The Betsy Smith also serves a variety of pizzas including the Betsy special with toppings of spicy sausage, rocket and mozzarella. For Sunday lunch or dinner, treat yourself to roast chicken, lamb or beef with mange tout, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and gravy.

The drinks list offers excellent examples of New and Old World wines as well as a number of flavourful cocktails.
