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.

    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!

    🚇Maida Vale 🍺 £5.90 Elgin Lager ❤️ A superb local hangout. The Elgin is located at the end of a tall Victorian terrace in the heart of Maida Vale. Getting here is easy, Maida Vale Tube Station is located diagonally across the road. The Lord Elgin as it was once known was built in 1869. In 2013 the pub looking tired and forlorn was given a new lease of life by Urban Leisure Group. The metro tiled servery dominates the bar and runs down the left hand side. Opposite the servery are several poser tables and stools. At the far end of the bar is some comfy low level seating, a projector screen and a random elephant adorning the wall. By the entrance are some beautiful Victorian glazed tiles which sit above Georgian panels and a nice big cosy sofa. Upstairs is a dining/function room which is available for hire. The beer line up was impressive, there are ten London based draught craft beers and ciders to choose from, plus plenty of bottles in the fridge. I decided on a pint of the house lager, my pint was excellent and price point average. There is a seasonal food menu available consisting of elevated gastropub style dishes. The roasts on a Sunday are well celebrated, a Chicken Roast costs £19.50. We arrived just after 6pm on a Saturday evening, on arrival the place was fairly busy with a local crowd in attendance. Not long after we settled in, things got very busy. There was a lively upbeat buzzy atmosphere emanating from the early evening punters. The service was excellent, the staff here were super friendly and clearly enjoyed what they do. Throughout the month there are Live Music and Comedy Nights, if fancy testing your general knowledge there is a Pub Quiz on Tuesdays. We really enjoyed our time here, @the_elgin_maidavale was a pleasant surprise. This is a fantastic hybrid establishment that has a bit of something for everyone. The beer was great and reasonably priced, the food looked amazing and is popular with the punters plus there is plenty to keep you entertained. Pub traditionalist will probably give this one a swerve, but I would definitely recommend a visit here. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 16.09.23
