The Elgin in City of London

We feel very lucky to have The Elgin on our doorstep.We've been regulars here, along with a bunch of friends, for many years and have recently held a couple of events in the great space upstairs which have been amazing. These have been the perfect opportunity to reconnect with friends and loved ones that we've missed after the past couple of years of restrictions.The venue has a great atmosphere and always looks good, the food is consistently delicious, and the coffee remains the best in the area. However it's the team that run the place that really impress. Nothing seems to phase them, and they are always on hand to make sure all goes smoothly. Whether it be turning up with crayons and games for the kids at just the right moment, or making sure your Bloody Mary has the correct level of spice so that it can work its magic.We would highly recommend the place for a meal, a drink, a Sunday Roast, a coffee or your special events.

My partner and I were looking for a venue for a small intimate wedding ceremony and from the first moment we came to visit The Elgin, the general manager and her team were so accommodating and helpful and nothing was a problem. The team were so friendly and helpful and the food was exceptional and all the guests loved it so much. Big thanks to the chefs for preparing so much quality food for 23 people at the same time! Please pass on our thanks to all your team. The upstairs room at The Elgin was the perfect venue for us and looked incredible on the day. We are very grateful for everything you did and would highly recommend The Elgin

I understand it’s a pub a one should probably lower his expectations, but nothing can justify such gross disrespect of basic hygiene standards!The blond waitress played non-stop with her ponytail in the middle of service, and if that was not enough, she after playing with a customer’s dog she moved straight behind the counter to sort glasses out of the dishwasher without even washing her hands.Add the lame mulled wine, the lukewarm chips, and the squash cooked with its own skin (which may sound cool, but made it hardly edible) and you get a non-negotiable one-star feedback.

Pleasant ambience, decor and service at this independent watering hole.Me and my partner stopped by to do some paperwork this afternoon, ordered some refreshing pints of lager for each of us while we worked.Then we got hungry so we ordered ourselves a delicious gourmet burger each, which were accompanied by delicious hand cut chips.Highly recommended place and food, best burger for miles!

We had our wedding reception at the Elgin. The staff were amazing, the food and drinks were above expectations and the room looked absolutely stunning. We had the greatest time, in great surroundings and were really looked after by the team from start to finish. ❤

The perfect London wedding venue :)We hired out the whole of the Elgin for the evening do of our wedding - Mags, David, Cara and the team were absolutely brilliant and the venue worked perfectly. They were super flexible with letting us choose the layout of the pub and bringing in our own decorations.They set-up everything exactly as we had imagined and the team were absolutely brilliant on the evening. Everyone loved the food and we had loads of complements on the venue choice.Would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to host a wedding, birthday or large get-together with friends!

Lovely local pub :) Delicious food, great beers and amazing atmosphere! The home made pork scratching are so yummy!!

A big and spacious gastropub with plenty of seating. Coffee is superb (very good beans being used here from a local supplier) and the food is hearty, well cooked and great value for money in the Maida Vale area. A great place to go for a quick coffee and catchup with friends as well as for a meal out. Staff are very kind and friendly with an efficient service.

Nice and cool. a great addition to the Maida Vale area. Cool and friendly staff - think they are all students making a living. the coffees are very well done and a very high quality. the menu is great and delicious, especially the breakfast brunch menu which is my favourite time of the day to come here. great ceiling heights. old skool feel. recommended.

Great place to chill with drinks but sadly wouldn't recommend the food as it's style over substance. Brunch portions are small and of average taste for the price, coffee is quite bitter too. £3.50 for extra avocado is OUTRAGEOUS. Also hit and miss with the service - some people friendlier than others. Has potential to be a really great all round spot but should look at changing up the menu.
