One pub. Two vibes. Plenty of reasons to stay.

Welcome to The Mad Bishop & Bear at Paddington Station, whether you’re here for a proper catch-up, a quiet dinner or simply trying to make your train feel less like a train journey.

Our main pub is made for meeting friends, grabbing a pint, catching up over coffee, squeezing in a work call or enjoying a drink and food while you wait for your train.

Prefer something a little quieter? Our Restaurant area offers a more relaxed setting, with top service and the perfect atmosphere for sitting down, slowing down and enjoying the full dining experience.

And when it comes to drinks… we do a bit of everything.

- Cask Ales, our speciality, and yes, we’re rather proud of being experts.
- La**rs, IPAs, stouts, ciders & more
- Cocktails
- Spritz & Spirits
- Coffee for when you’re being sensible… or pretending to be.

So whether you’ve got 10 minutes before your train or absolutely no intention of catching the one you originally planned… we’ve got you covered.

Sundays just got a whole lot better!

Our Beef Sirloin Roast has had a little upgrade. Now served with proper, glorious Cauliflower Cheese. Because apparently we weren’t allowed to make Sunday lunch any more tempting… so we did anyway.

And joining the menu: Cheese & Marmite Potatoes + Pigs in Blankets. Because Sunday is no time for playing it safe!

So, whether you’re heading home, heading out, or simply pretending you have a train to catch… make your Sunday roast stop at Paddington Station.

Come hungry. Leave happy. Sunday sorted.

The temperature’s dropping, so naturally… it’s time to switch to red.

Malbec? Merlot? Shiraz? Montepulciano? We have it all.
And that’s just the beginning… we’ve got a whole bunch of other surprises coming on the w**e list just in time for those chilly evenings.

So grab your mates, grab a glass and let us handle the important stuff. Because if you’re going to get through the colder months, you might as well do it with good w**e in hand.

Taking the train is no excuse to miss a Sunday Roast.

Especially when there’s roast beef, crispy roasted potatoes, cauliflower cheese & plenty of gravy waiting for you…

So whether you’re arriving at Paddington Station or simply passing through, make a quick detour and give your Sunday the roast it deserves.

Because missing a roast is one thing… missing it because you were “catching a train” is simply unacceptable.

Sundays are for roasts. We don’t make the rules.
