The Hemingway

Been meaning to review this awesome pub. We visited twice during our trip to England. The beef Wellington is a must try with a beer service was good and vibe was relaxed and fun. The restrooms have a pull handle very cool.

I've just shared a very, very good Beef Wellington here. It was very high quality beef fillet, cooked to perfection, in a crisp pastry. It was served with green beans tossed in little bacon bits (mmmmm bacon), kale, well cooked chips and a Yorkshire pudding. This was the best pub meal I've had in a while, and at £19/head, great value for such good quality steak.

The pub itself is a nice setting, with some tables outside to enjoy the sunshine. The staff were pretty friendly too.

The only negative comment, is they didn't have any keg ales, which I'm always disappointed with in pubs these days. It was a choice between Deuchars IPA on cask, or some beers like Sierra Nevada by the bottle. With so many great London craft beers around, the beer choice was a little bit disappointing.

I've visited The Hemingway numerous times, mostly for lunch and drinks.

What I love about this place:?
-That on Sunday's you can order more than just roast
-the food is really tasty
-the staff are helpful and friendly
-cozy seating areas
-great outdoor seating options
-dogs are welcome
-intense classical music in ladies bathroom
-the weird deer bum plaque on the wall

We came here for a Sunday roast dinner. It's a cool traditional pub with an awesome interior - the foxes ass particulary stays in mind.
I ordered the veggie roast and wasn't blown away but quite satisfied. I loved the Yorkshire pudding and found the homemade mint sauce and horseradish remarkable.

Solid pub food... a bit pricey (but its London right?)

Was walking around the neighborhood, stopped in for a couple of pints and some fish and chips and it was quite good!

Worth a visit if you're near by!

Amazing little find that I found on a walk around the area a couple of years back! Just popped by there the other day and was reminded of its excellence because of the decor and experience bar staff!

The place has lots of great historic decorations and lots of stuffed animals & rustic kitsch about the place.

Great for families and Sunday pints alike and the food is incredible! Can get very busy though but if you get there early, you'll be able to snag the chesterfield at the front!

The Hemingway has been in the neighborhood a little longer than my boyfriend, so I literally can't imagine the area without it. It's become my bf's local pub, and I've probably spent more time here than any bar back home in New York.

The Hemingway has two faces: pub and gastropub. It really excels at both, which is no small trick. It's a gorgeous space to get a drink or three and just catch up with friends. There's board games, big couches, and occasionally a projection screen they bring down for big matches. The front of the space is perfect for big groups, as is the snug in the back.

The gastropub menu is smallish (seems to be standard for gastropubs in London?), but there are always changing specials available. The base menu is wonderful, with my favorites being the gnocchi and the beef stew. The Sunday lunch is also really good with all the staples. The dining room is small, but comfortable. We haven't had room for dessert too often, but the few times we've had it, we've loved it.

The guys who run the pub are usually on hand, and they're really terrific to chat with. They've worked all over the London bar scene and are really knowledgeable and ambitious. I couldn't ask for a better neighbor--and at least I have the park around the corner to burn off all the calories spent here!

Absolutely lovely place to to dine and have a few pints and a meal, especially on a sunny day.

The outstanding item for me was the Sunday veg roast: it was the absolutely **best veg roast dish*** I have ever had. No standard boring old nut roast here, oh no. No more back seat status for this dish. Instead they served me a delectable concoction of glazed carrots, grains, and chopped vegetables, the likes of which I had not tasted before.

My companion had the lamb roast which he would have preferred cooked as requested medium rare, instead of medium as served. However after the initial grump he ate it all, demonstrating it was acceptable in the end.

The interior is scattered with funny but comfortable mix of odd objects d'art -- knick knacks, stuffed animal heads, art deco lamps, and a huge late Reanissance painting in the rear seating area you will swear the eyes of which move with you. It's all very chilled and comfortable. Staff were friendly and efficient, taking our drink order immediately and serving them fairly quickly, considering it was a crowded Sunday afternoon. I'll return for more.

I had Sunday lunch here and it was also my first time hanging out in Victoria Village. First of all, I instantly fell in love with this part of London. It's a low-key, unpretentious area with lots of unique bar/food joints. Lots of people and their pets chilling everywhere, enjoying the social ambience. If it's a nice day definitely walk around; we came through the park to get to this pub.

The pub is a great place to meet up when the weather's nice. We sat outdoors and enjoyed the sun with full glasses of prosecco. Our friends ordered chicken, my boyfriend got the lamb and I got the fishcake and sweet potato. All were absolutely amazing. Quite filling too because I couldn't even order dessert, which for me is completely abnormal.

Definitely check out their interiors because it's a beautiful space with lots of dark woods and comfy seating. The toilets are awesome, it feels as if walking into some homey room with funny erotic art and funky wallpaper.

Would love to come back and try their dinner menu!

More like a grand dining room than a bar. Crazy nick jagger lip toilets . U probably have to go to believe. Bar staff not the friendliest but it was late. Lots of animals on the walls uncertain green activists would like it although I believe they were fake. Beer appeared pretty good . Some normal ales on tap and an ipa.
