Dec 2022 - the absence of cask beer is confirmed. This stretches back to at least 2018.
The PR stuff below does not seem to be delivering?
From Propel - Beronmoor opens eighth site as it takes on fifth Star Pubs & Bars venue, in Kilburn: London-based multi-site operator Beronmoor has opened his eighth site after taking on its fifth venue with Heineken-owned Star Pubs & Bars. Beronmoor has relaunched the former Prince of Wales in Willesden Lane, Kilburn, as the Kilburn Arms following a £750,000 joint refurbishment designed to broaden the pub’s appeal. The refurbished gastro-pub now also has an artisan fish and chip shop and 12 new double en-suite letting rooms – Beronmoor’s first site with accommodation. A large new kitchen has been installed allowing the Kilburn Arms to offer food for the first time with an area partitioned off to cater for the fish and chip takeaway service. The whole interior of the pub has been redecorated and upgraded. A mix of banquette and freestanding seating has increased the covers by 20 to 93. The menu features pub classics including homemade burgers, risottos and Sunday roasts. Fish and seafood are a speciality. Drinks feature a selection of premium gin and rum, wine and champagne, cocktails, craft ale, bottled beers and ciders. Beronmoor managing director Costa Tofan said: “We were attracted to The Kilburn Arms because of its great location, size and character. It meant we could run three distinct but interconnected businesses from the same location – a traditional English pub, a small hotel and an artisan fish and chip shop. It’s our biggest site to date.” Star Pubs & Bars operations director Tim Galligan added: “We’re delighted Beronmoor has taken on the Kilburn Arms and is creating a unique business in the area, allowing the pub to realise its potential. The joint investment together with its local knowledge and extensive experience will ensure the pub is sustainable in the long term.”
At Aug 2014 this massive old Victorian pub still retains some original features, in particular some excellent etched and cut glass in the old Saloon Bar doors; in some internal screening; and in the very rare curved etched and cut glass windows. Two pool tables and two dartboards. The Prince of Wales was recently added to the CAMRA London Regional Inventory being an historic pub interior of regional importance.

Three-storey building of brick from 1899. The right hand bar has an impressive vestibule entrance with cut and etched windows. It has a curved bar counter that probably dates from the inter-war period, and the four bay bar back fitting has good cut and etched glass panels with floral and fruit decoration. The left hand bar has a vestibule entrance with some curved cut and etched windows featuring floral and fruit decoration and old dado panelling. The curved bar counter here also probably dates from the inter-war period, and the five bay bar back fitting has good cut and etched glass panels with floral and fruit decoration and modest pilasters with capitals. Opened-up to the left is a large room in the single storey part of the pub that might have been for functions, or with its blocked in skylight suggesting it might have been a billiards room.
Three-storey building of brick with balustrade: pediments on the left and right corners have plasterwork detail of the Fleur-de-Lys, and a central one has the wording ‘The Prince of Wales 1899’. To the left is an inter-war single storey extension also with a pediment having plasterwork including the bust of the Prince of Wales, (later King Edward VII). On the far left is what appears to have been a former shop, possibly an off licence, with Art Deco detail at the top.
The original pub part consists of two bars separated by a glazed partition with a large gap giving an open-plan feel. The right hand bar has an impressive vestibule entrance with cut and etched windows, and a bare wood floor. It has a curved bar counter with a front (unfortunately now painted turquoise) of a similar style to the panelling in the single-storey part of the building so presumably dates from the inter-war period. The four bay bar back fitting has good cut and etched glass panels with floral and fruit decoration with bay three being a door with a ‘Office’ cut and etched glass panel. Some lower shelving has been lost to fridges. Unfortunately the cornice above the bar-back in both the right and left hand bars has been painted turquoise.
The left hand bar has a modern tiled floor, a vestibule entrance with some curved cut and etched windows featuring floral and fruit decoration and old dado panelling. It has a curved bar counter with a front (also painted turquoise) like that in the right hand bar. The five bay bar back fitting has good cut and etched glass panels with floral and fruit decoration and modest pilasters with capitals. The majority of lower shelving has been lost to fridges.
Opened-up to the left is a large room in the single storey part of the pub that might have been for functions, or billiards, with its blocked in skylight having brightly coloured panes. It has a good plasterwork cornice, a dado of fielded panelling with the wall above having just thin panels around areas of wallpaper. There is a brick fireplace, the interior of which is painted black which might date to the inter-war period. The former shop on the far left is currently used as a fish and chip shop.
