The Lion & Unicorn is a Kentish Town pub at 42–44 Gaisford Street, with an independent theatre on the floor above. The ground floor combines a traditional neighbourhood bar with a serious food offer. It is a useful destination for an everyday meal as well as food before or after a performance.
Head chef Aidan and the kitchen team create an evolving menu around British seasons, fresh produce and local sourcing where practical. Homemade pies, freshly battered fish and chips and changing specials give the menu a recognisable pub foundation. Vegetarian and vegan choices are identified across the current selection.
Brunch is served from Monday to Saturday, with choices including smashed avocado, a full English, shakshuka, banana bread and potato hash. Sunday brings the pub’s more indulgent roasts, which are popular enough that booking is encouraged. Burgers, sandwiches and smaller dishes cover more casual appetites.
Beer, wine and seasonal spritzes accompany the food, while the theatre adds a creative character to the building. The Lion & Unicorn works well for families, groups and diners making an evening around a show. Guests with allergies or medical dietary needs should use the current menu information and speak with staff before ordering.
