The Hillgate is a neighbourhood gastropub at 24 Hillgate Street, tucked among the residential streets behind Notting Hill Gate. Its relaxed, welcoming room provides a comfortable setting for a meal, a drink with friends or a quieter local gathering.
The kitchen follows a seasonal British approach and keeps the cooking carefully crafted rather than unnecessarily complicated. Menus change as produce from suppliers changes, allowing meat, fish and vegetable dishes to reflect the time of year.
Small plates can be shared before a main course, while the Sunday roast gives the week a traditional focal point. A considered drinks list, including cocktails and choices on tap, supports both the food and visits centred on the bar.
A garden, family friendly service and a welcome for dogs make the pub adaptable across different occasions. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should consult the latest seasonal menu and discuss ingredients and preparation with staff before ordering.
Address: 24 Hillgate Street, London W8 7SR, England
