February 2026 - Food

If you’re anything like us the list is simple: excellent core cookery (of course), plenty of veg, generous gravy pouring, and the sort of general ambience that makes you want to order one more bottle of wine. Rejoice then, because Notting Hill’s The Mall Tavern has all this in buckets. Its Sunday menu is fairly traditional, with chicken, beef (with the option to add bone marrow), pork belly and nut wellington all accompanied by yorkies, roasties, carrots and greens. But then we arrive at the English language’s greatest two-word combination: ‘endless gravy’. Finish it all off with desserts including a vegan brownie or ‘tiramisu from the tray’. Their summer roast menu includes the slightly lighter option of a whole lobster, and seafood platters as well as Aperol slushies.
