The Whippet Inn
Kensal Rise
The Whippet is an independent, local pub in the heart of Kensal Rise, dedicated to producing fantastic food and delivering great service. We pride ourselves on creating an atmosphere that reflects our vibrant neighbouring communities of Kensal Rise, Queens Park and Willesden. With the best producers and suppliers on our side, we offer modern seasonal food, complimented by an excellent range of local and continental craft beer with a wine list to match. Our heated, all-weather garden space is a mecca for alfresco drinking, dining and private hire, and our pub is the perfect place to meet friends and family for a drink, a bite, or both. Join us seven days a week for lunch or dinner, grab a coffee or just roll in for a few pints.

Gastropub classics, great wine and probably the best roast this side of the Regent's Park!
We source ingredients and produce from the best producers and suppliers to bring you a great selection of British pub classics that won’t disappoint. Our gastro menu is perfect for every occasion, from mouth-watering burgers to beautiful burrata, and with the best Sunday roasts in North West London, there’s something to please everyone.
A hidden Fitzrovia favourite — if you know, you know.
Slip upstairs and discover our secret cocktail bar — a plush, low-lit escape from the bustle of central London. Think velvet booths, curated playlists, and bartenders who know their craft inside and out.
Our menu blends timeless classics with modern twists, featuring favourites like the French Martini, Smoked Old Fashioned, and seasonal house creations that surprise and delight. Whether you’re after something bold, bright, or beautifully balanced, our team will pour you the perfect drink — every time.
Ideal for dates, discreet meetups, or letting the evening unfold into something special.
