The Curtains Up is a historic neighbourhood pub on Comeragh Road in West Kensington, close to Barons Court and West Kensington stations. Its comfortable rooms, garden and connection with the theatre below give the pub a strong local identity. Food is served throughout the day, with a seasonal British menu designed for lunch, dinner, a meal before a show or a relaxed gathering over drinks.
Starters and sharing plates can include ox cheek and blue cheese croquettes, smoked mackerel salad, chicken liver parfait, charcuterie and baked Somerset Camembert. Bread with flavoured butter, olives and anchovies provide simpler dishes while a table decides what to order. Seasonal salads and vegetable preparations ensure the opening courses are not limited to meat and fish.
Main courses bring together pub favourites and more considered seasonal cooking. Fish and chips pairs cyder battered haddock with triple cooked chips and mushy peas, while the beef burger uses short rib and brisket. Sausages with mash, Chalk Stream trout and bavette steak sit alongside plant based sausages, a vegan burger and a vegetable led salad.
Sunday roasts feature beef, chicken, pork or a vegetarian pithivier with roast potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Sticky toffee pudding, brownie, pavlova, affogato and ice cream complete the meal. Young’s beer, guest draughts, cider, wine, spirits and alcohol free choices support everything from an afternoon pint to a full three course dinner.
