About Mall Tavern
Victorian gastropub with garden and a contemporary interior, flooded with light from a huge window.
As of late April 2024 it was reported that this pub had gone into liquidation. The pub is open but is now being run by the liquidators who have opened a basement blues club and comedy nights. Previous description follows.
Although it is very slightly off the main thoroughfares of Notting Hill, this pub, part of a small independent chain (the Stag in Belsize Park, amongst others), is well worth a visit. There is a tiny but fully-formed garden, invisible from the street, and two rooms for hire - the cellar is worth a look. As well as two or three cask ales, there are plenty of London keg beers on tap.
The food offering includes Saturday bottomless brunch and Sunday roasts.

Very nice place where people make you feel welcome. The Fish&Chips was huge and very good… As you see nothing was left on my plate. 😃 And I loved being given the chance to try the beer before ordering it. I usually don’t like beer but theirs was really nice.

So good it’s become my new roast dinner local. Unbelievable roast. One of the closest I’ve tasted to home cooking & the beers selection is immense. Tried for a first time on a Sunday and booked the following Sunday before I left ☺️. Will be back again very soon inc with my dog who was more than welcome. Thanks guys. Keep up the tasty work!

A fine free house with a superb selection of beers on tap and bottled. But what really sets this pub apart is the excellent food - whether you just want some casual finger food or a proper roast, the food is delicious. My favorites (besides the roast): The croquettes and the chicken wings; and main courses the pie and cheeseburger. The cheeseburger alone is better than most dedicated burger joints in London. Now it is pricey but taste the croquettes and you understand why. I paid £50pp including two drinks and a starter + main. The tables outside are on a first-come-first-serve basis…

The beer selection is much better than in average pubs (still not superior unfortunately). In particular, they had a sour beer and Belgian fruit beer. The atmosphere is nice. The smoked salmon starter was good although the smoked butter was more melted than I would love it. The 1/2 pint prawns came in shells, so was a bit of mixed feelings in terms of peeling them. The aioli sauce was good though

My wife and I had a day in London due to some issued with our Air line. went around and explored and knew we wanted to go to a pub for dinner. we got the Scotch egg, Brisket croquettes and Steak and stout pie and everything was the favorite! if you visiting London definitely worth a try!!
