The Havelock Tavern in Hammersmith

Oh, what a treat The Havelock Tavern is – it's one of those classic London pubs that just gets it right without trying too hard. I've got to say, the food really steals the show; their seasonal plates and specials like the Korean chicken or that unbeatable Sunday roast have left me coming back for more, and it's all so reasonably priced you'd think it's too good to be true. The staff are an absolute delight, always on hand with a smile and a recommendation, whether it's for the wine list or the bar snacks. It's got that laid-back feel where you can pop in for a quick pint or settle in for a full meal, and being dog-friendly means it's perfect if you're out with your furry friend. On the flip side, if you're after a place with lively music or a more formal dining experience, it might not quite hit the mark – it's more about easy conversation and good company here. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone in the area looking for a welcoming spot to unwind, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a go for a taste of what makes London's pub scene so special.
