The Gipsy Queen is an independently run pub at 166 Malden Road in Kentish Town. A pub has occupied the site for generations, and the current venue preserves the feel of a local through its wooden interior, fireplace, live events and a colourful garden hidden behind the building.
Food is an important part of the pub but can change with its resident kitchen partnerships. Recent offers have ranged from pizzas and Mexican street food to Indian dishes, reflecting a model that gives independent cooks space to bring a focused menu into the pub.
That changing approach means diners can expect a concise selection rather than a fixed catalogue of traditional pub classics. Handheld dishes, shared snacks and substantial plates are designed to sit naturally with drinks and the relaxed pace of a neighbourhood bar.
Craft beer is a particular strength, supported by wine, spirits and cocktails. The garden, regular events and flexible kitchen make The Gipsy Queen a good choice for groups who want an informal meal in a characterful pub rather than a conventional restaurant experience.
