A traditional pub with a contemporary menu

Our seasonal menu offers a fresh take on pub classics and a one of the best Sunday Roasts you will find, all made using the finest ingredients from local suppliers.

A hidden Fitzrovia favourite — if you know, you know.

Slip upstairs and discover our secret cocktail bar — a plush, low-lit escape from the bustle of central London. Think velvet booths, curated playlists, and bartenders who know their craft inside and out.
Our menu blends timeless classics with modern twists, featuring favourites like the French Martini, Smoked Old Fashioned, and seasonal house creations that surprise and delight. Whether you’re after something bold, bright, or beautifully balanced, our team will pour you the perfect drink — every time.
Ideal for dates, discreet meetups, or letting the evening unfold into something special.
