About Havelock Tavern

Gastropub with distinctive blue-and-white tiled exterior, serving an international menu of flavours.

1869 back street gastro pub hidden away behind Olympia exhibition halls. General Havelock after whom the pub is named, became famous for his role in the Indian Mutiny aka First War of Independence.

Standout blue tiling frontage with a stripped-wood feel inside; the layout is L shaped with a small annex room at the rear and a beer garden at the front. The food menu includes lunchtime sandwiches and some interesting starters and mains.

    Wonderful British pub experience with excellent food. Best place to take your first dive into the traditional fish and chips. Highly recommended to any travellers! Locals most likely already know what a gem they have nearby.

    I came to try the Sunday roast and it did not disappoint! I got the beef option with horseradish cream sauce which added just a slight twist on the traditional. The carrots were actually my favourite part.

    Cosy, warm, and great staff. Inside its large, with a lovely garden and a fireplace to keep you warm. Good portion of sunday rost, and once you ask for the sauces (condiments), it is easy to see why the weekend would just fly by. Tv with sports needs tuning , but overall, it is a good place for family.

    Enjoyed this pub with a small but cosy courtyard. Good service tasty food, a bit different than most. A keeper.

    Best pub in the area - a hidden gem in West London. A stones throw away from Shepards Bush station. Feels more like a lively village then London. Rob, noah and Ash - legends. Very dog friendly !
