The Sun in Splendour is a distinctive corner pub at 7 Portobello Road in Notting Hill. Its bright, quirky interior and neighbourhood atmosphere give it more individuality than a standard city pub. Food is served throughout the day, making the venue suitable for a casual lunch, family dinner or an evening meal with drinks.
The main menu combines British pub classics with seasonal dishes. Sandwiches and lighter plates suit lunch, while burgers, fish, sausages, pies and more contemporary meat or seafood dishes provide fuller options. Vegetarian and vegan choices are integrated into the selection rather than confined to a single substitute.
Sunday has a dedicated roast menu, and an evening set menu provides another structured way to dine. Desserts such as sticky toffee pudding, fruit crumble and chocolate brownie keep the style generous and familiar. The pub maintains an online allergen guide, but guests with dietary requirements should also speak with staff because cross contact can occur.
Cask beer, wine, spirits and cocktails support the food and preserve the venue’s identity as a pub. Its location at the start of Portobello Road makes it a useful meeting point before exploring Notting Hill, while the dining offer encourages a longer stay. The Sun in Splendour balances lively local character with a substantial all day kitchen.
Address: 7 Portobello Road, Notting Hill, London W11 3DA, England
