Cottons Notting Hill is a Caribbean restaurant and rum bar at 157–159 Notting Hill Gate. The room brings an energetic island inspired atmosphere to west London, making it as natural a choice for an informal dinner as it is for a lively celebration.
The food draws on Caribbean flavours and traditions, with jerk cooking, seafood, stews and shareable plates forming a broad and colourful menu. Bold seasoning and tropical ingredients give the dishes their identity, while vegetarian and plant based choices broaden the selection.
Rum is central to the drinks programme, with hundreds of bottles sourced from Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, Martinique, Guyana and other producing regions. Signature cocktails, Mojitos and the house Rum Punch allow guests to explore that collection in a more approachable form.
Weekend bottomless brunch adds a daytime reason to visit, while happy hour, rum masterclasses and private dining spaces support different occasions. The restaurant is close to Notting Hill Gate station, Portobello Road Market and Kensington Gardens, making it convenient for both local diners and visitors.
Address: 157–159 Notting Hill Gate, London W11 3LF, England
