Opened in 1996 the Havelock Tavern is one of London's original gastro pubs. Unlike many others that have come and gone since, we have changed very little over that time. Rather than become a restaurant in an old pub building, we focus on being a pub that serves really good food. The atmosphere is lively and informal so that anyone can eat, drink and feel at home. We are not trying to be sophisticated, but aim to provide you with a good, relaxing time. Our customers are a good mix of locals and others who have made the journey to spend an afternoon or evening with us. You are just as likely to see a table of mates catching up over a few pints as a couple tucking in to three courses. We have background music playing just to add to the already vibrant atmosphere.

Nice local pub and went early. All staff were very attentive and prices for a west London pub are what I would expect. Nice selection of beer Food chosen was Sunday roasts , pork and lamb. Pork was good but the lamb was overcooked, rather dry and somewhat difficult to cut. We did mention this to the Manager as I don't believe in complaining online without actually saying something at the time. The lamb was ok but not the best I've had. Won't stop me going again as overall the place is very nice.

The Havelock continues to be the warm, inviting and friendly local pub that it always has been. Hats off to Rob (Mgr) and his team for working hard to maintain such a high standard, where others have lost many of the qualities mentioned.

Went for a Sunday roast, the lamb was absolutely delicious! I don’t know how they make their gravy but I could drink a whole pint of it! Rob and the team were very attentive and we had a great time!

Roast beef tad overcooked but it hasnt deterred from the flavour too much. Half chicken seemed to be more bang for your buck and porchetta is very soft and tender but too fatty for me
The Havelock TavernResponded on October 17, 2024
Hi Chloe, Thank you so much for your comments and review. I apologise the beef was slightly over, I have informed my chef. I am delighted it did not affect the flavour too much, we will get it spot on going forward and your feedback is really appreciated. I do hope you will come and see us again soon Rob General Manager
