The Salutation Pub in Hammersmith

154 King St, London W6 0QU

About This Pub

Oh, what a treat The Salutation is – it's one of those places in Hammersmith that effortlessly blends the charm of an old London pub with the vibrant flavours of Thai food from Khun Pakin, and I've got to say, it's done so well that you'd be hard-pressed not to leave with a smile. The food really steals the show; those authentic dishes are packed with genuine taste, and paired with a refreshing pint from their excellent selection, it's just spot on for a casual get-together. The atmosphere is spot on too, with comfy spots to settle in and a lovely garden for when the weather plays along, plus it's welcoming for dogs, which makes it even more appealing for a laid-back afternoon. But, to keep it real, do watch out for the paid parking if you're popping by car, and the portions might leave you hankering for seconds, so perhaps plan accordingly. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone after a bit of variety in their pub crawl – I'd definitely pop in again for the vibes and the grub.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The Thai food at Khun Pakin is an absolute delight – think authentic flavours with classics like Pad Thai that really stand out in London.
It's got a warm, welcoming atmosphere with comfy sofas and a historic pub vibe that makes you feel right at home.
The outdoor garden and seating area are brilliant for enjoying a pint on a nice day, and it's dog-friendly too, which is always a plus.
The staff are top-notch, offering excellent service and a cheerful welcome that adds to the overall cheer.
There's a great selection of drinks, from craft lagers and seasonal ales to wines, so you're spoilt for choice at the bar.

Cons

Parking is paid nearby, which can be a bit of a nuisance if you're driving in.
Portions of the food might be on the smaller side, so you could end up wanting a bit more to feel fully satisfied.
As it's a pub with a Thai restaurant twist, it might not suit those after a purely traditional British pub experience – it's a lovely mix, but not everyone's cup of tea.

A surprisingly very good Thai restaurant Kuhn Pakin is nestled inside Salutation Pub. The venue is very spacious with a large beer garden. The highlight however is the Thai restaurant which serves very delicious Thai dishes. They have not only the classics like Pad Thai and curry but also more specials like raw prawns and raw crab which you usually don’t find in many Thai restaurants. There are lot of Asian customers which is a good sign that the food is good here. The prices is a bit higher but you get good quality. Tip: pay by cash and there will be no service charge

The Salutation is also a Thai restaurant called Khun Pakin Thai. Very charming to see the combination of a pub atmosphere with Thai food. They have a lovely outdoor garden area for when the weather is nice. The food is delicious and highly recommend. Would have loved to come here with a group of people to share multiple dishes, but came alone this time. Food tastes delicious with the right flavors and the papaya salad was fresh with the right amount of heat. Really liked the antique ice cream, not just coconut flavor it also has bits of pandan in it and goes really well with the sticky rice. Not sure it needed the bread too, but still overall a good dessert. Good ambience and service as well.

The best Pad Thai that I’ve had in London (so far)! The noodles had great texture and the sauce was not overly sweet like many Pad Thai that I’ve had before in London. If you go for lunch during the weekday, there is a 20% discount on their limited lunch menu. The portion isn’t big but it really was tasty. Broth for beef noodle soup was too dilute for my liking. I wouldn’t recommend that. Good value with nice atmosphere. Lots of Thais.

A friendly open plan. Pub in the heart of Hammersmith offering a mouthwatering selection of Thai dishes to keep the beer company. The Salutation is a really cheery Fuller's pub. Pride and ESB on cask today along with the expected range of keg beers, great service, lots of smiling faces and cheerful conversation. There is a courtyard garden waiting for some warm weather. A lovely pub
