The Queen Adelaide, Shepherds Bush

Reopened under new management as a gastropub and undergone massive refurbishment. Traditional yet retro, the decor with its big print wallpaper, crystal chandeliers, mish mash of wooden tables and chairs and comfy leather sofas makes the place feel homely and welcoming. The focus is now on fresh, seasonal dishes and a regularly changing list of real ales. Menus alter daily but include the likes of mediallion of pork belly with portobello mushroom, spinach & mash or chargrilled ribe-eye steak with garlic butter slow roasted tomatoes & hand cut chips. Friendly management and staff - well worth a visit. Also, there's a terrace at the front opening in March.
