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 aubergine with quinoa, tahini, harissa, dukkah & pomegranate, 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. Or perfect for those with a sweet tooth, indulge in the vanilla French toast with Longley Farm crème fraiche & macerated strawberries, drizzled with rich white chocolate.

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.

    The Elgin has always been our local pub, close to our hearts, and we’ve always felt it reflected a piece of our style. Choosing it as the place for our wedding party and dinner turned out to be the best decision we could have made. On the wedding day itself, everything was perfect. From the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond to make sure we and our guests were happy and had everything we needed. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, which made a huge difference to the whole celebration. The food was served beautifully, the drinks were fun and delicious, and the setup for speeches, music, and dancing worked seamlessly. Even afterward, everything was tidied up so we could simply collect our belongings the next day without stress. We will forever be grateful to The Elgin for helping make our wedding the best day of our lives. We’ll always recommend it as the most amazing place to get married, and we’ll never forget the warmth and professionalism of the team that made it all possible.

    The Elgin has always been a special place for us, so it felt natural to celebrate our wedding there—and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From start to finish, the team made everything effortless and enjoyable. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care created an atmosphere where we and our guests felt completely at ease. The food and drinks were fantastic, beautifully presented, and perfectly timed. Every detail—from the music and speeches to the dancing—flowed without a hitch. Even after the celebrations, the team ensured everything was neatly taken care of, allowing us to relax and collect our belongings the next day without worry. We are so grateful to The Elgin for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. The combination of charm, professionalism, and heartfelt hospitality makes it a venue we will always recommend.

    Very decent pub and good food. It's close to the tube station and has a variety of beers on tap plus many bottled. Sometimes they have live music making it very enjoyable. It's often privatised for wedding though which makes it hard to have it as your local. Anyway, I recommend stopping by if you walk past !
