The Warrington - Maida Vale, London




The Warrington Pub based in beautiful residential Maida Vale is a lovely gastropub with a difference. Owned by the famous Gordon Ramsey it was taken over in 2006, and in perfect Ramsey style he made over the restaurant with traditional yet simple class. Another good reason Ramsey bought this pub is he left the downstairs bar with much of its original fixtures, keeping true to its 1857 beauty.

I began my meal with the Veal and pork Veal and Pork Pie with Pickled Cucumber (£7), which was delicious and succulent. I then followed with the Smoked Haddock and Salmon Fish Cakes with tartar sauce (£11.25), and ended with the Banoffee Pie (£5.50). The fishcakes were filled to the brim with fish, and were moist and flavourful, yet simple and understated, while the Banoffee pie was sweet and absolutely delicious.

The bar menu is similar to the main menu if you're looking for less formality, and boasts traditional English food such as Lamb sausages with Mash and Onion Gravy (8.25)

The prices were surprisingly reasonable for a Ramsey restaurant and the food was well worth it. It was simple yet tasty and the decor was predominantly white, which added a lovely clean feel.

I would certainly eat here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for good English food.
