In West London sits the pub that isn't just a pub: it's a chic pub. It is the ideal middle ground: the conviviality of a busy bar and a good restaurant. We're talking about The Pelican, a favorite with quite a few Londoners.

Is it the cozy interior or the delicious food? We firmly believe that it is a combination of the two. In fact, every corner of this pub could easily be in an interior design magazine, but the food is certainly no less. It is true that reservations must be made on time, because we are not the only ones who have discovered the magic of The Pelican.

A real foodies has the name Brat is definitely on his radar, because everyone wants to eat in this restaurant. This is reflected in the reservations: always full when you are in London.

There is hope, because Brat has a new one pop-up in Hackey East London and it is definitely worth a visit. Where Brat in Shoreditch is known as more fine dining, Is Brat x Climpson's Arch a lot more accessible (and affordable). The pop-up focuses on food from the grill, with a surprising menu that changes daily. Try to get a seat inside, because it is all about coziness and conviviality. Big tip!

We can always appreciate a cozy pub. The Hunter's Moon in South West London is the best of both worlds, namely a restaurant and pub in one. The front part of the building is a cozy pub, where there is plenty to do on Friday evenings after work beers are drunk.

In the rear part you will find a cozy dining room, where they traditional British food serving such as Beef Wellington and the necessary Christmas dishes such as Christmas pudding and turkey.
