The Audley Public House is a restored Victorian neighbourhood pub on the corner of Mount Street and South Audley Street in Mayfair. The listed interior combines dark wood and traditional pub details with contemporary art, including a colourful ceiling installation above the bar. Open every day and welcoming walk ins, it keeps drinks at the centre while serving a compact menu of carefully made British pub food.
Bar snacks range from a Scotch egg, sausage roll and London rarebit to smoked trout with soda bread, market vegetables with dip and oysters with shallot vinegar. Olives, seasoned almonds and chips suit a shorter visit, while a half pint of prawns with mayonnaise brings the character of an old London pub snack. The selection is designed to sit comfortably beside a pint without becoming an overly formal meal.
Pub favourites include Cornish haddock with chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce, beef and ale pie with mash, ham with egg and chips, and sausages with onion gravy. A fish finger sandwich and seasonal salads provide further choices, while mushroom and beetroot sausages give vegan diners a substantial plate. Much of the beef, lamb and sausage is connected to the operator’s farm and shop in Somerset.
Sunday brings roast beef, pork, chicken or lamb with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, vegetables and gravy. Sticky toffee pudding and bread and butter pudding continue the traditional theme through dessert. Independent beer from Sambrook’s Brewery sits alongside London Pride, cider and Guinness, which the pub treats with particular attention to the quality of the pour.
