The Duke of Wellington Notting Hill is a colourful pub at the heart of Portobello Road, where it has welcomed market traders, artists, musicians and local residents since 1854. Large windows and pavement tables make the busy street part of the atmosphere, while the interior offers a warm escape from the market crowds.
The kitchen focuses on fresh British pub cooking made with ingredients from carefully selected suppliers. Sharing platters, battered fish and chips, steak, burgers, salads and seasonal specials cover both quick lunches and more substantial dinners, with vegetarian and vegan options included across the menu.
Sunday roasts are a particular draw, bringing together roast meat or a plant based alternative with potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Brunch dishes and lighter plates broaden the choice earlier in the day, while classic puddings provide a comforting finish.
Cask ales, lagers, wine and cocktails support the food, whether guests are stopping for one drink or settling in for a full meal. Several bookable areas on the ground floor and a private dining room upstairs give the pub space for birthdays, work gatherings and other group occasions.
Address: 179 Portobello Road, Notting Hill, London W11 2ED, United Kingdom
