This noisy Notting Hill pub was founded 1856, but talented young chef Jesse Dunford Wood (who has cooked at Charlie Trotter’s in Chicago) has revitalized the kitchen with daily-changing menus that center around refined takes on nostalgic dishes like chicken Kiev and a cow pie—a classic British savory pie filled with braised beef with a marrow bone poking through the golden pastry. Owners Jonathan and Andy Perritt have restored the space beautifully with reclaimed Victorian furniture as well as a few eccentricities, including Lady Diana–themed china.
