About Goat Tavern

Traditional pub on 300 year-old tavern site, with long bar, armchairs and pub grub menu.

Deep wood-panelled bar with its rear set out as a dining area. At the front, the former bay windowed off licence has been converted into a small snug area. Named the Goat Tavern by 1702, it was previously a coffee house. The present building dates from 1879 and is popular with tourists and shoppers.

    Got the Sunday Roast here on a whim. Loved it, so we came back for fish & chips again the next day! Absolutely unit of fried fish and easily a hit. High quality food and friendly service, fair prices, and an overall a good vibe for a pint and a bite. Battered halloumi with chilies were also a favorite.

    When they say a door closes and another open for you. That’s how we chance upon this pub. Excellent place, great pub and brilliant ambience. The host was welcoming and friendly. We ordered the fish and chips and a couple of Guinness. One of the best fish and chips I had in London and will definitely be back here again. Will definitely bring my colleague if I do come to London again. Cheers and keep up the good job.

    Not my first time in London, but my first time having fish and chips. It was wonderful. Everything was hot and fresh. The host was excellent. I will return to Goat Tavern when I come back. It was a comfortable and casual environment too.

    This establishment is located across from the Royal Garden hotel in Kensington. Busy and serves a variety of food and drinks. For London a very reasonably priced tavern. Well worth the time to go and enjoy good food, drinks and a great atmosphere.
