The Pelican is a restored neighbourhood public house at 45 All Saints Road in Notting Hill. Relaunched in its current form in 2022, it combines the sociable feel of a traditional London pub with a concise kitchen led menu. Scrubbed wooden tables, comfortable seating and a lively bar create a setting that works for a pint, a few snacks or a full meal.
Bar food begins with pork scratchings, sausage rolls, Welsh rarebit and Old Winchester fritters. Spider crab toast and chicken liver with crisps add richer choices, while the much loved mince on toast layers deeply flavoured beef and cheese over sourdough. Oysters, bone marrow with parsley and cod cheeks with curry extend the selection for sharing.
The main dining menu changes with the seasons and moves confidently between meat, fish and vegetables. Onglet with shallot, pork collar with cabbage and chicken with chanterelles sit beside hake with tomato and sea bass with green beans. Onion tart, courgette with peas and fresh salads offer lighter alternatives, with larger cuts and pies often written on the mirror.
Chips, mash and Cornish mids provide simple accompaniments, while desserts and cheese vary with the market and the kitchen’s preparation. The bar pours cask ale, Guinness, cider, pilsner and independent beer alongside a wide wine list that travels from classic European regions to Georgia, Armenia, Chile and Australia, preserving the spirit of a pub while giving diners room to explore.
