Time Out says

Please note, Bumpkin South Kensington has now closed. Time Out Food editors, October 2019

Friendly service, scrumptious desserts and prices that won’t make your eyes pop, this snug British restaurant is definitely a good spot to find yourself lazing away a weekend afternoon with family and friends. Although at first glance Bumpkin seems to grapple with an identity crisis: the mix of rustic and polished decor at this South Ken branch (its third) makes the place feel a bit like a country pub on the set of a Western movie – think wooden crates and floral wallpaper. The owner’s vision, which was to create a spot for ‘city folk who like a little country living’, is elaborately brought to life in the dining room, which, for all its doilied foibles, is admittedly quite cosy.

Boasting only the finest British seasonal ‘fayre’, the menu is suitably stocked with crowd-pleasers: burgers, fish ’n’ chips or sausage and mash. A beef-and-porter pie came served piping hot in a skillet, with chunks of tender meat under a light pastry. Delicious. Sides of crispy sweet potato chips and crunchy tenderstem broccoli made for lovely, if fairly unremarkable, accompaniments.

Before heading back to your city-slicking ways, make sure you grab a portion of sticky toffee pudding – not too sweet and served with Jude’s vanilla ice cream and butterscotch sauce.
