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.

    Top traditional Sunday roast. The environment is pretty chill and service is good. I'd come back to try more dishes or have drinks.

    We had an engagement party in the downstairs lounge area, and it was a perfect night. The food and cocktails we ordered were amazing and many guests commented on it. The area felt really cool and relaxed and was perfect for a party of about 35 people. Attentive staff who went the extra mile. Thank you so much for making our evening special. :)

    I feel at home in a great pub. This place has the balance just right. The classic, tasteful original features are still there: Victorian tiles, wooden floors, fireplace and so on. But the people who run it have tastefully brightened the rest of the place up to set it firmly in the 21stC. The coffee is excellent, the ambiance homely and welcoming, the food, I'm told, is tasty and if good quality. I'll be back to try the beer soon!
