About Cock & Bottle
Refined Victorian corner pub with upstairs dining room, serving ales and traditional British food.
Built in 1851 and formerly known as the Swan, this is one of London's Real Heritage Pubs. The City Pub Co did a reasonably good job refurbishing what had frankly become a rather tired location.The impressive bar-back and rare snob-screen survived and the whole place was opened up, although sadly the "Swan" light-fittings above the eastern windows vanished in the refurb. It is now a typical gastro-pub, but none the worse for that as the local area goes up-market. The first-floor restaurant, with open kitchen, has its own bar although the two hand pumps are currently unused.
The beer range on the ground floor veers towards pale ales rather than bitters. Food includes Sunday roasts.

We found The Cock and Bottle quite by chance. Sometimes there is a reason an eating establishment isn't busy. The C&B totally shattered that myth. From entering, the staff couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. We soon found a table. The C&B wasn't busy because many tables had been reserved. Drinks and meals were quickly ordered and the drinks soon arrived at the table shortly after. We all opted for Sunday Lunch, ordering different meats. We certainly weren't prepared for the size of the Yorkshire puddings. Who says the Southerners can't make Yorkshire Puddings. We're from North…

Its really a nice pub near to Notting Hill. I love the vibe there and seating area outside makes it special during sunny days. Even in winter they have heater outside so all good. Staffs were amazing and seating area inside too is better. Will love to visit again.

An amazing experience. The food was fantastic! We took the roast beef and the rosemary garlic chicken breast. The atmosphere was very cozy..I felt like a grandmother cooked for us. It's also nice that there are ppl watching football on a Sunday afternoon. Suuupeer!!

What a great pub. Had my first Sunday roast here and it was absolutely delightful. Plus they had a delicious IPA from the UK on tap - Neck Oil. Highly recommend stopping in!

A suprising gem - amazing cheeseburger and chips. I live very close-by to this pub but have always been deterred by its ratings. Recently, I was forced to go due to reasons. A member of staff told me they recently employed a catering company to make their food. I was pleasantly surprised by their cheeseburger. It had a nice flamegrilled taste that is rare in London as-well-as all the accompaniments you'd expect with a great American style cheeseburger. The fries are also fantastic. Have been there again since to satisfy that burger craving.
