A beautifully restored Victorian corner pub in Gospel Oak that combines elegant wood-panelled interiors with a relaxed, civilised neighbourhood atmosphere.
Ordering Strategy
If visiting on Sunday, the roasts are the main event—don't skimp on the gravy. For dinner, the chicken dishes outperform the steak.
What to order
Spatchcock Poussin
Undeniably the highlight of the menu, it is described as one of the 'juiciest chickens' with 'golden skin charred' and a marinade of 'sweet harissa and confit garlic' that elevates the flavor.
Sunday Roast
Praised for 'sensibly sized portions' and 'perfectly cooked meat and veg,' with options like beef or chicken and gravy described as 'redactedly' good by local enthusiasts.
Mushroom and Celeriac Wellington
A vegetarian standout previously rated '11/10' in roast reviews, though if you're looking for sides, the 'crispy new potatoes with paprika and a huge blob of aioli' are also highly recommended.
