A superior backstreet boozer in the cute enclave near Hammersmith’s posh St Peter’s Square – a “lovely spot” with a sweet garden serving a menu that’s ambitious for pub cooking.

Cutely tucked away near Hammersmith’s gracious St Peter’s Square, this independent Victorian boozer is a superior local whose inviting menu is more ‘gastro’ than it is ‘pub’ (although it serves a fairly traditional Sunday lunch). The “delightful garden” makes it a special treat for a meal in the summer.

“Tucked away” in a backstreet off Hammersmith’s St Peter’s Square, this “top-end gastropub” is “a great place to chill out and eat better-than-average pub food”, especially in summer when the “glorious, spacious back garden” really comes into its own. Even a reporter who – unusually – said the food “didn’t quite hit the mark” thought the experience was “good value and well worth a return”.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
