The Captain Cook is a Fulham pub, restaurant and small hotel occupying 203–205 Dawes Road. Its kitchen runs from lunch into the evening throughout the week, giving local diners and hotel guests a relaxed place for a drink, a few shared plates or a complete meal.
Spanish influence shapes much of the menu, especially the tapas selection. Garlic prawns, salt and pepper squid, Iberian ham, patatas bravas, padron peppers and Manchego based dishes sit alongside marinated anchovies and meatballs, encouraging tables to mix seafood, meat and vegetable plates.
Larger dishes bring in familiar British pub food as well as Mediterranean flavours. Beer battered haddock and chips, beef and chicken burgers, baked salmon and salads provide substantial alternatives to sharing plates, while the Sunday menu adds roasts prepared with beef, chicken, lamb or Iberian pork.
Desserts such as apple crumble, chocolate brownie, churros and sticky toffee pudding offer a traditional finish, supported by a full drinks list. The combination of an everyday pub atmosphere, an unusually broad Spanish leaning food selection and rooms upstairs makes The Captain Cook suitable for neighbourhood meals as well as visits from farther afield.
Address: 203–205 Dawes Road, Fulham, London SW6 7QY, England
