The Cavendish
Nestled at 35 New Cavendish Street, just off Marylebone High Street, this stylish gastropub blends approachable charm with polished design. Downstairs offers a sociable pub atmosphere with stools, booths, and a vibrant bar, while upstairs brings artfully finished lounges, velvet seating, exposed brick, green accents, marble tables, and ambient lighting—ideal for both casual afternoons and after-work socialising.
Food & Drink Highlights

The menu, led by Executive Chef Alex Povall (a protégé of Angela Hartnett), emphasises seasonal, sustainably sourced fare delivered with modern flair.

You’ll find delightfully inventive small plates (crab beignets, smoked cod roe, beef tartare), structured mains (rabbit & cep pie, monkfish), and crowd-pleasing roasts on Sundays.

Cocktails are a standout—expect quirky creations like pistachio-lemon drizzle, white chocolate raspberry Negroni, and peanut butter–jelly-inspired blends, all artfully balanced.

A well-curated wine list and quality draft beers also complement the experience; some note the beer selection is “basic,” but the wine earns praise.
