In their own words, the Elgin is 'Maida Vale's front room'. They serve fresh and seasonal food in a hip, shabby-chic space which invites you to feel at home.

The Elgin is atmospheric and a hit with locals, thanks in part to the elegantly rustic interiors of subway tiles, exposed brick and wooden floorboards. We're sure that their use of the very best local produce has made them popular, too.

Brunch at The Elgin has a whole host of options, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free. If you're being healthy, try the roasted cauliflower & chickpea salad, or the tahini, buckwheat and sour cherry granola. We personally love the sound of the Elgin cheeseburger, which comes complete with Cornish gouda, caramelised red onion, house pickles and fries...it's a bit less healthy, though. 

Rounding off the week with a Sunday Lunch is an enduring tradition and The Elgin pull it off perfectly. Pick your way through a range of delightful small plates, like burrata, braised leeks and almond dukkah, before the main event. Each roast comes with all of the trimmings- whether you choose the West Country lamb rump with mint sauce, the half chicken crown or baked aubergine. 

As they're just across the road from Maida Vale Underground station, there's no excuse not to drop by The Elgin for good food and drink.

    We had our wedding reception on the first floor and everyone at the Elgin was fantastic from start to finish - the team really knows what they are doing, the food is delicious, the venue is already looks really good so doesn't need lots of extra decor. We had the best day & thank you so much for Cara and Tom in particular for everything they did in the lead up and on the night. Would highly recommend as a reception venue!

    Bit of a late review. We where passing on the way into central the staff are amazing very friendly. I have a wheat and dairy intolerance and nothing on the menu was of my liking. So after speaking to the chef they agreed to put something together for me. Going out there way was much appreciated and the food was amazing also an amazing atmosphere.

    Delicious Ottolenghi-inspired, veg and flavour-first menu! The burrata and peaches starter was amazing. The renovated interior of this pub is gorgeous, and it wasn't too loud to have a conversation. It's especially nice in the summer, as the doors and windows are open. Seems like more of a restaurant than a bar, as there were families with young children there at around 7-8pm. Highly recommend for dinner!
