This is really an interesting hidden gem inside the London Paddington. Amazing draft beer and vegan friendly restaurant. Perfect place to relax while waiting for the train. Ask them for today’s beer on tap. The vegan menu doesn’t have many options. They accept cash and card.

Stopped here on arrival to london. I wanted somewhere close just getting off the train. This was ideal as its in paddington station. I ordered the avacado toast with feta, kale and tomato on a slice of sourdough and it was delicious. Latte was also very nice👍 Prices not to bad for location

This is a hidden gem upstairs of Paddington station. The staff are so lovely and the place is really spacious with the traditional feel of an English pub. They serve my favourite Japanese Asahi beer on tap! Which is the highlight for me ☺️ Today we had the Smoked Salmon with watercress and brown bread. And the Fish Finger Sandwich with chips. Everything was SO good. The chips were crispy and buttery, the smoked salmon was super soft and delicious. I will definitely come here again and again for food or drinks . Please check it out if you’re at Paddington station area. Just find the shopping corner where you’ll see Boots, Accessorize etc and it’s upstairs from there.

Was pleasantly surprised with the quality of food and polite staff from this pub within Paddington station (on the 2nd floor). We had a late brunch and the meal was well presented and tasted as good as it looked. The coffee was also a good quality. Order arrived in a timely manner. Though if you are not in a rush for a train I would recommend to others this place; great value for the location.

If you're waiting for a train and fancy a pint then this "Pub" will do the trick. It's got the feel of a London pub but you're in a train station. It's quiet and good for people watching, you might find it difficult to find a seat/table at certain times and the beer isn't cheap, nor is the food but I guess that's London for you. I enjoyed an hour's wait for my train (specific train ticket for a cheaper price) so I hope you do too.
