Hugo Spritz, Aperol Spritz & Malfy Spritz. More like the ultimate power trio!
Like the Powerpuff Girls, Charlie’s Angels and Destiny’s Child… some things are just stronger in threes.

Sunny days at Paddington Station deserve a spritz in hand, a little gossip at the table and “just one more” energy.

Fresh, fizzy and dangerously easy to drink, come try the trio everyone’s talking about before your train (or conveniently miss it 👀🚆)

See you soon

Steak & Ale Pie = the ultimate comfort hero.
Rich, hearty, and basically a hug in pastry form. Served with mash & greens (but hey, if you’re feeling cheeky… swap it for chips).

Rain or shine, summer or winter, this is an all-year winner and a true taste of the best of British.

📎 MEET THE TEAM TUESDAY

Meet Mathilde, our Assistant Manager!

Mathilde joined in November ( should be a celebration day in the pub but the boss said no).
She moved from France at 18 years old and started as a waitress for “a few months“ and here we are 8 years later!
Her favourite dish from the menu is the Risotto and her favourite drink is Aperol Spritz!
If you look for her she is probably looking for her GM to pitch him a new idea, answering your bookings enquiry or taking instagram content!

Meet Owen, part time Supervisor, full time Cellar and Ale Master, Owen joined us in September and he became an extremely important part of our team! He is mister “I keep my cool no matter what“ and you can usually find him on Sunday’s, serving our delicious roast! His favourite drink is ESB, his favourite dish is the Beef Roast and if he could be a train it would be a E5 hayabusa bullet train from Japan cos it has a broken nose like he does. ( His words not mine!)

Fun facts about Owen: he speaks Japanese and has the patience of a Saint!
