There’s a certain buzz that fills the pub when the rugby’s on, and this Autumn Nations Series, we’re ready for it.
Expect a full house, cask ales flowing, and every fixture live on our screens as the atmosphere builds match by match. Whether you’re backing a particular side or just here for the occasion, you’ll find good company and an even better pint waiting.

All the family are encouraged to visit our friendly pub, no matter their age – or, on our favourite occasions, even those with four legs. Furry friends welcome, dog bowls provided.
Situated right in the epicentre of Portobello Road, we’ve been the colourful home to great antique dealers, musicians and artists alike since 1854.
Our legacy boasts a cameo in the opening scenes of Notting Hill, filmed in 1999, as Hugh Grant walks down Portobello Road to his second-hand bookshop where he meets Julia Roberts.
Then, in 2008, a BBC camera crew visited… along with Adele. Yep, THE Adele.
She was here to explain why our pub was a fundamental part of her journey to superstardom (queue the proud moment tears).
Adele gave a tour of the pub, pointing out memorable spots from her younger years, including the table where she once sat while breaking up with her boyfriend via text. This same boyfriend was the inspiration for songs on her debut album, 19.
So if you’re looking for some star-studded inspiration for your next big move, stop by, enjoy a pint and soak up the atmosphere.
We promise it’s worth it.
