The Hemingway is a neighbourhood gastropub at 84 Victoria Park Road. Its open kitchen prepares dishes to order from carefully sourced produce, combining familiar pub favourites with changing seasonal ideas in a relaxed room that welcomes local diners, families and dogs.
Olives, cocktail sausages, chicken wings, Scotch eggs and baked camembert provide several ways to begin or share food over a drink. Salads, soups and vegetable starters change with the season, bringing lighter contrasts to the richer snacks and more substantial main courses.
Fish and chips, roasted cod, vegetable gnocchi and beef Wellington show the range of the kitchen. Sunday adds lamb, pork belly, chicken, beef and a vegetarian roast with the traditional trimmings, turning the final day of the week into one of the pub’s most popular dining occasions.
Sticky toffee pudding, pecan pie and chocolate fondant offer comforting finishes. A carefully chosen wine list, broad international spirit selection, beer and classic drinks such as the Bloody Mary, Negroni and Aperol Spritz support the food, while the garden adds space for warmer days.
