About The Hillgate
The Hillgate is a gastropub at 24 Hillgate St in London, on the streets behind Notting Hill Gate Tube station. The kitchen cooks a seasonal menu built on British produce. The Sunday roast comes with chicken or beef and a vegetarian option, and it can be customised to three meats. Scotch egg, fish and chips and mussels also appear on the menu, and steak and fries days add another option. At the bar, cask beers sit alongside other draught beers, and the real ales come from around the country and rotate regularly. The wine list draws on a cellar of bottles from around the world. The upstairs private dining room can be booked in advance for groups, weddings and parties, and the chefs will prepare a buffet or canapés for those events. Payment is by card only, and the pub does not accept cash.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the Sunday roast, praising juicy chicken breast, well-cooked beef and a good vegetarian option, and one describes a roast customised to three meats. Close behind are the scotch egg, called one of the best a reviewer has had, and the fish and chips, described as fresh, light and crispy. Sweet corn ribs, a chicken, leek and tarragon pie, and a steak and fries day with a large portion of mussels also earn mentions. The private dining room features in a 40th birthday and a wedding drinks gathering, where the team is described as accommodating, including taking in a wedding cake beforehand. Outdoor seating and heaters come up in several reviews. The main caveats are practical: one reviewer warns the pub takes cards only, another found an IPA pricey though about par for the area, and one says it was busy enough that booking a month ahead was almost a struggle, so they suggest reserving. One reviewer, turned away rudely by four other places while hunting for a late roast, was welcomed here with a roast made to order.

“I had to use the Pub as a meeting point for my team when working in Notting Hill. The Staff were lovely and very helpful. The food was great but unfortunately I couldn't try the great looking beers as I was working. Thanks Guys. You really helped make my business trip easier. Especially in the rain.”

“Kaitlyn and Hala were amazing and food was beyond outstanding. The customer service was beyond amazing. I called 4 places looking for a late evening roast and they were rude and unkind until I called the Hillgate and Kaitlyn was so warm and welcoming and told me they had a roast for me and to come along! I got there and asked if I could customise the roast to 3 meats and she did it for me and gave me price for all 3. Lovely wine amazing experiencing back. Coming back with a friend 😍”

“British pub grub. Done well. Delicious scotch egg.”
- Sam Goode
“I was celebrating my 40th in the private dining room which was such a lovely space to host our group of 20+. Nothing we asked for was to much and The team at The Hillgate are exceptional and catered to all our needs. Food is always 5 star and I would highly recommend this place for a casual drop in pint all the way up to celebrating in style like we did. Thank you to the whole team, especially noting Nadia and Alyshia! will be back very soon !”

“Excellent pub. We used the private room for some drinks after our wedding ceremony. They fit all 18 of us in the room and the staff were very attentive to make sure we had food and drink. They were also very accommodating for us dropping off our wedding cake before hand and bringing it up so we could all have some with our family/ friends. Would definitely use again for an event in the future”

“Located in the pretty streets behind Notting Hill Gate Tube station, the Hillgate is a local pub with great food. The menu has a seasonal focus, serving fresh British produce. The selection of real ales from around the country are rotated regularly keeping the selection fresh and interesting. We love wine and have accrued an extensive cellar of wines from around the world. The upstairs dining room makes an ideal wedding and private party venue and can be booked in advance. Our Chefs will happily prepare a buffet or canapés for your event. Please note we only accept cards (no cash).”
