About Bridge House
Theatrical pub with pub and brunch menus, Tuesday wine club, Sunday roasts and board games.
Dating from 1848, the Bridge House as its name implies is adjacent to a bridge, the Horse Bridge, over the Grand Union Canal (Paddington Arm) at its junction with the Regents Canal at Little Venice.
Following a refurb in early 2024, the interior now has walls painted cream above a darkish green painted rail. Pendant lights are above above the bar counter. Note two Bass mirrors, one in the front part of the pub and one in the back part; otherwise pictures adorn the walls. The back part of the pub has intertwined, predominantly darkish green, foliage décor on the ceilings with the front ceiling darkish green but plain.
There's an extensive food menu for lunch and dinner including Sunday roasts, and a food collection or home-delivery service is also available. One cask ale is on handpump and the craft beer selection varies regularly both on tap and bottled. There are occasional brewery residencies. While it's not over intrusive there is background music and it can be turned up into the evening.
And don't forget the Canal Cafe Theatre, a separate operation above the pub: https://www.canalcafetheatre.com/

The Bridge House in either Paddington or little Venice, right by a canal bridge comes at you like a fun, effervescent house of madness, in the nicest way. Busy on a Saturday afternoon with lots of people wanting beer and food, lots of smiley faces. Great place for a pint...AND...I suspect, a great place for a "shared" Sunday lunch experience.

I cannot say we had a great experience here. We were looking for a typical pub with great food in an interesting area of London to meet someone who was flying in from the US. Based on the reviews and the location we chose the Bridge House. Big mistake. The entire building was wrapped up in a construction foil, not an impressive appearance. The inside decor is not bad, but I’ve seen much better elsewhere. The music playing was extremely loud to the point where we did not hear each other talk. Our requests to lower the volume met with negative answers for an hour. As there were other groups of…

Good pub, with large indoor and outdoor dining space. The menu is very meat heavy but they have some great veggie bar snack options. 3 bar snacks for £18 is expensive. The area of London makes this place as you can walk by Little Venice after your meal.

Lovely pub with outside sitting area in great location. Good selection of drinks, the food was average. Portions on the smaller side. The sticky toffee pudding was good actually. Staff was lovely and orders came quickly.

Enjoyed having my birthday here. Mo was amazing at serving everyone and got everyone to sing me Happy Birthday in the pub. It made it very special. Jay was really hospitable and had a special brownie and ice cream for me . He always remembers me. And is very efficient. A great pub and great staff.
