The ViewLondon Review
In a world of indenti-kit pubs, The Goldhawk has personality. A bit whacky, but comfortable. One could happily while away the day and night here.The VenueThe Goldhawk is a bit cluttered with lots of different areas – a mixture of tables, sofas, bar stools and a terrace. Bright, with high ceilings, there are plenty of quirky touches such as coloured lamp shades and a changing selection of art works for sale. Piles of current newspapers and magazines to read and a screen for watching sports.
The AtmosphereIt doesn’t take itself too seriously, nor is The Goldhawk trying to impress. By being relaxed, its personality shines through. It is warm, casual, a bit scruffy, and eclectic. It appeals to a broad range and is family friendly.
The FoodOn Saturdays they serve breakfast and Sundays they serve a roast dinner. The rest of the time they have a good menu divided into snacks, big plates (mains such as burgers, fish and chips, salads and pastas), sarnies and puddings. Well-priced.
The DrinkThe Goldhawk has a wide selection of specialty ales, lagers and ciders with plans to include even more. Bloody Marys for hangovers, cocktails, shooters for fun and champagne for celebrating are all on offer plus specialty coffees and teas. You can’t argue with their selection or prices.
The Last WordIn a corner of Shepherds Bush you wouldn’t really travel to unless you were a local, The Goldhawk is catering to its neighbours who clearly enjoy this laid-back local for excellent food and drink plus enough diversions to while away the hours.
