This is one of the top gastropubs in the London area, and it has a well deserved reputation. It is a bit outside of central London in a residential area in Ravenscourt Park. The atmosphere is lively and entertaining. There is a pub area with a good selection of beers and an excellent wine list. The back offers seated dining. The menu changes daily and offer extremely creative and delicious modern British food. While I don't do them justice, examples include duck and berry terine, an incredible crab and guacamole salad, roasted duck, and many types of fresh fish. This is a place to get a full meal. Start with a pint at the pub, because unless you get there early you will be waiting a while. With dinner, order a bottle of wine and peruse the chalkboard menu. Ask questions because the menu is extremely creative and very British. Order a starter and a main. If you are adventurous, I recommend you get a more exotic item. Watch them cook the food in the exposed kitchen. Savor you meal and order one of the inspiring puddings. After your meal order coffee and an aperitif. The wait staff can help you pick one of their wide range of ports.
The staff is very friendly and will answer any question you have. Dinner starts at 7:00, but they start a list for tables at 6:30, so arrive then or you will have to wait for the second seating. You can also eat in the pub area if you can snatch a table.
