Best Gastro Pubs in Willesden

Absolutely incredible Sunday Roast. The gravy, the Yorkshire pudding, meats (I chose the combo lamb plus pork), vegetables and side sauce all working in harmony to drive those true flavours home. Pork with great crunchy crackle, and the beef fat potatoes were stand outs for me, as well as getting the additional bone marrow which really melted in my mouth. But my true hero could've been the duck Scotch egg to start. Accompanied with a delicious Hoisin sauce, the outer crunch, duck casing and slightly runny yolk hit the spot. I could just have a plate of those. The Lore of the Land truly nails it. I assumed being a hyped Guy Ritchie pub it could be underwhelming with small portions, but the plate was absolutely loaded and everything delicious. Finishing with the classic sticky toffee pudding, it was pleasantly much lighter and airy than expected, with a really burnt butter Caramel sauce to enhance all those classic sticky toffee spices. Lovely wait staff and very pleasant atmosphere.

A great find staying up in Notting Hill. Downstairs bar area is popular and crowded so upstairs dining was a pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Cuisine and attention made it a special experience. A little pricey but a memorable evening.

I went for breakfast with my 1 year old twins on a Friday morning and it was lovely and quiet with loads of space for us, including high chairs and buggy. The staff were so accommodating and made us feel very welcome. The ground floor room is lovely and cosy with a log fire and the food was delicious.

We had the most amazing time! Astonishingly good, sublime, the food was incredible. Perfect from start to finish. Lovely staff: the server made great suggestions and hit the mark every time. We’re so glad we took his advice. One of the best meals out in a long time. A lively, convivial atmosphere. It’s not cheap but worth every single penny. A night to remember. So happy to have eaten at The Parakeet!

You are always guaranteed a certain level or surety in a Cubitts establishment that service, food quality and pricing are on point and value for money which is why I always book with old friends and new friends alike.
