"Smack bang between Holland Park and Kensington Palace Gardens is Maggie Jones’s. This British restaurant specialises in hearty food which roughly translates to: potatoes and butter. If you don’t think that you want stilton mousse or fish pie in warm weather then you’re sadly mistaken, drunk, or both." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Maggie Jones’s is about as close you can get to being a museum whilst still being a restaurant. Open for over 40 years, it’s full of old knick-knacks, portraits of dead people, and has a history involving the royal family, but that doesn’t mean it’s stuffy. This place serves some truly excellent British food, fresh game, and an apple crumble we regularly contemplate writing love letters to. Whether you come by for lunch or a full-blown romantic candlelit dinner, their fish pie will never let you down." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"Two total monsters just had the audacity to hold hands in front of you. In love, are you? That’s nice. Get back to us in four months when you have to change your Netflix password. When you’re in the mood for hiding, or eating a crumble as good as your mum’s, or both, head for old school Kensington restaurant Maggie Jones’s. They have cosy church pews you can curl up in, all kinds of nick-nacks on the walls and ceiling to keep you distracted, and some of the best rich, British comfort food in London." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"Your relatives live somewhere where having a pet goat is a viable option and you just know they’re going to spend most of their trip to London clutching their backpacks like every single Londoner is The Artful Dodger. Take them to Maggie Jones’s, an entirely romantic and rustic restaurant off of Kensington High Street. This place serves hearty British food, and everything from the church pew seating, to the candles, to all of the farming paraphernalia hanging from the ceiling is enough to convince anyone that London can be just as charming as the home counties." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"Boy oh boy did the church do a lot for the art of confessing. They made it hot, we keep it hot with tragic behaviour like messaging the person who is saved on our phone as Devil Spawn Do Not Text. It’s for that reason that Maggie Jones’s private wooden church pews feel exactly like the kind of safe space where you can lean over a candle and utter the profound words ‘I did a thing’. Whichever poor soul must carry this heavy burden will have the warm embrace of Maggie’s signature fish pie and the gloriously rich stilton mousse to enjoy. You should know this place is named after Princess Margaret’s secret Kensington rendezvous at the restaurant, so you’re in great company. There, there, have another bite of Maggie’s crumble and… block them?" - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing
