The Princess Royal

Cubitt House's Notting Hill pub occupies a Victorian corner site built in 1841, reopened under its historic name in March 2022 after a run trading as Pomona's. The ground floor is built around a horseshoe bar with leather stools and a raw bar counter, opening through arched glazing into a plant-hung conservatory and on to a walled garden with two terraces designed by Jinny Blom. Ben Tish, previously of Norma and the Game Bird, runs a Mediterranean-inflected kitchen built on seasonal British produce.

Private hire covers four spaces. The ground-floor restaurant takes semi-private exclusive bookings; the conservatory, adjoining the bar, seats groups for lunch or dinner under its own glazed roof. Upstairs, the Victoria Room is the grander of two feasting rooms, gathered around a single long table with its own balcony over Hereford Road; the smaller Charlotte Room sits off the main dining room, built around one round table for more intimate groups. Four boutique bedrooms sit above, should an evening want to run past dinner.

Original features run through the ground floor, including a pub-name mosaic uncovered in the 2022 refit, alongside the exposed brick and reclaimed timber of the conservatory.
