“A winner if only for people-watching”“the great and the good-looking of Notting Hill gather in the beige but tasteful surroundings” of this year-old pub, whose popularity is such that it’s regularly “heaving”. “It’s not that cheap”, but all reviews applaud Owen Kenworthy’s “top-end pub good”, from an “interesting menu” of “reinvented pub classics”. Top Menu Tips – mince on toast is a staple here; “bar snacks of crab and cheese on toast are a delicious counterpoint to the drinks”.

This “newly opened pub with excellent food and vibe” is the latest iteration of a Notting Hill tavern built in 1872 and now tastefully buffed up. Jimi Famurewa of the Evening Standard gave chef Owen Kenworth a big thumbs-up for his “gutsy, sneakily creative food”. It is also one of very few pubs to offer Pilates classes.

"Very well run place - a good menu with a nice range of specials. Service friendly and quick too. Sophisticated fellow diners. They don’t serve coffee - perhaps to discourage undue lingering. I recommend the charming Egyptian coffee bar / restaurant 5 doors down for a nice post lunch coffee and people watch … "
