A corner pub at the foot of Portobello Road — good cask beer, contested outdoor benches, and the full energy of the Saturday market spilling past. Order whatever is on cask; this is honest pub drinking. Saturday is the main event, perfect for people-watching as the market crowds flow by, and the benches outside are fought over for good reason. It makes an ideal start or finish to a Portobello visit. It is Notting Hill pub-going at its most characterful, anchored to one of London's most famous market streets — a reliable perch at the bottom of the hill on the busiest day of the week.
