Golborne

The Golborne Grove, former Golborne House, at Golborne Road, is located at the northern end of Notting Hill near the famous 60s listed building, Trellick Tower. Split over two levels, the ground floor houses the main bar area whilst upstairs is a private function room. The interior is a mix of second hand furniture and well-chosen design classics; an eclectic mix of chairs, retro 60s leather sofas and 1920s Venetian mirrors sit alongside contemporary urban photographs of the local architecture.

Golborne Grove is an oasis of calm in an otherwise unpromising area. The Grove is generally regarded as one of London’s finest gastropubs (www.restaurantguides.co.uk). 

Just about the most perfect place for lounging your weekend away (apart from Jude Law’s bed). The beautiful staff, sumptuous food and leather sofas mean you never have a reason to leave. Week-nights retain this chilled feel and are great for catching up on gossip and first dates – if you can keep your eyes off the bar staff. (www.itchylondon.co.uk). 
 

Gastro-pub is the neologism coined for ventures such as Golborne Grove. A down-at-heel pub patronised finally by only a few good ol' boys who have seen better days is resuscitated, beautified a stainless steel cooking area becomes the natural extension of the bar and tandoori-flavoured crisps are jettisoned in favour of grilled merguez sausages and mash served with a puree of celeriac and a tomato chilli salsa. Is this progress? In one way, but I was pleased to be reassured that there are still some down-at-heel pubs nearby where the displaced drinkers can sit over an aptly named pint of bitter.

First floor Function Room available for party bookings, conferences, workshops, birthday celebrations, corporate lunches, meetings and disco nights every Friday and Saturday.
