The Stablehand is a British gastropub at 4 Bathurst Street in Lancaster Gate, close to Hyde Park. The building dates from 1839 and has a long history as a neighbourhood meeting place. Wood panelling, velvet furnishings and a relaxed bar give the pub a cosy character suited to lunch, dinner, drinks or a weekend meal with family and friends.
British ingredients are central to the kitchen’s approach. The team sources from the British Isles wherever possible and looks to territories with close links to Britain when an ingredient cannot be produced locally. This gives familiar pub cooking a clear sense of place, with seasonal produce supporting classics such as steak, fish pie and comforting vegetable dishes.
Sunday lunch is an important part of the week, bringing roasted meat and traditional accompaniments to the table in generous portions. At other times, guests can move from smaller plates into fish, meat and plant based mains, finishing with recognisable British desserts such as sticky toffee pudding. The cooking aims for the warmth of a pub meal with the care expected from a modern restaurant.
The drinks list follows the same idea through wines drawn largely from English and Welsh vineyards. British beer, Scottish whisky, Cotswolds gin and classic cocktails extend the choice at the bar. Group dining and private gatherings can be arranged, while the central location makes The Stablehand a convenient retreat after exploring Hyde Park, Paddington or the surrounding streets.
