The Oak W12

There's grandeur to this popular Goldhawk Road pub and dining room – it's a handsome Victorian building rustic home to a mismatch of industrial bits and bobs, Italian antiques and shabby chic. There's a Mediterranean slant to the food.

That means a menu ranging from cicchetti such as parma ham croquettes, sauteed chorizo with fennel seeds and lemon, and grilled beef tagliata with salsa verde to mains of slow-cooked rabbit ragu with homemade pappardelle, clams and mussel fettuccini and pan-fried sea bream fillet with romesco, new potatoes, parsley, capers and pancetta.

A wood-fired oven knocks out authentic looking pizza, too.
