Dirty Bones Kensington

Dirty Bones was an overall positive experience, but there were some aspects that left room for improvement. The decor is pretty cool, but once you're inside i didn't realise notice it that much. The staff and service were mixed - some were friendly and chatty, others were more serious and even sour, so unfortunately it might come down to chance. The food was reasonably good but by no means amazing - the chicken was crispy and chips were good, but it was also quite greasy and in need of some seasoning. The drinks menu is pretty extensive unlike the food menu which, despite having some good dishes, is lacking some variety. There's a cool-looking bar area if you just want to drink. And then there's the toilets which you will need night vision goggles to use as the lights are so dim. Any brighter though and you'll be able to see through the door as they have a large frosted glass pane in them. Overall, despite having a good time in Dirty Bones I wouldn't recommend them too highly. It's not that they are bad, just that there are nicer places to eat in Kensington.

Friendly service and a pleasant, laid back atmosphere. The food was not particularly hot, and the burgers were a little too well done and the buns dry, but a tasty meal nonetheless.

Very tasty food, went for a birthday and service was excellent. Good music with a live DJ playing songs and creating a great atmosphere.

I really enjoyed the place! The food came swiftly, the drink was delicious (and I got it for 5£ during cocktail hours) and the shake was really well made. It was the first time I saw a Mac&Cheese Brisket Burger and it didn't disappoint! Left there satisfied and happy. And of course the decoration is pretty cool!

The chicken waffle was delicious and the experience was super fun, went with a couple of friends and had the best time ever. Our server was Miriyam who was so amazing and funny and made sure our bottomless brunch went so well!
Would recommend

Food was amazing. Would recommend trying the Southern Fried Donuts, also the Flat Iron Steak and the Crunchy Lamb Fries.
The staff were great and so was the service.
Will definitely visit again

This is a mixed review as we had some really great dishes, and some we were disappointed in.

Cheesy fries - 7/10. Good portion, needed more truffle as we couldn’t taste it but the cheese sauce was great.

Lamb fries - 10/10. The lamb was SO tasty and went great with the spice.

Cheeseburger dumplings - 9/10. Very tasty, does what it says on the tin.

Mac daddy burger - 5/10. Good idea, tasty mac, but poorly executed. There wasn’t enough sauce and the burgers were well-done so it came out pretty dry. Flavours were good but it was hard to eat.

Service - 6/10. Staff were friendly on arrival and took our order quickly, but did not check back on the food and were not easy to make eye contact with if you needed something. Felt somewhat forgotten.

Atmosphere- 7/10. Cool bar, but freezing cold in the aircon so our food went cold QUICK.

Overall an ok experience but for the price, we would have expected more from the service and the burgers. Would probably go again for the fries though.

What a lovely evening spent having dinner! Being a vegetarian, finding somewhere that does actually good vegetarian food, is a struggle but wow Dirty Bones did deliver. Both mine and my partners burgers (veggie and none veggie) were delicious and side of chips were spectacular. Accompanied with a refreshing cocktail, I would highly recommend.
