The story
The Hart in London serves straightforward British cooking rooted in seasonal produce. The Public House Group opened this Marylebone venue alongside partners like The Pelican, The Bull, and The Hero, applying the same disciplined approach to the English kitchen. The venue recently earned a Readers Recommend designation in The Good Food Guide, reflecting consistent execution across the group. Guests encounter an unpretentious space that prioritises honest flavours over elaborate presentation.
Sardines on toast appear frequently as a sharp starter that highlights fresh catches. Lamb chops arrive charred at the edges while remaining tender enough to cut easily. Bubble and squeak rounds out the main courses with its classic combination of leftover potatoes and greens. These dishes anchor the upstairs dining room menu and reflect a commitment to familiar comfort food.
The lower level operates as a lively public house where patrons order pints and share simple bar snacks throughout the day. A staircase leads to a quieter dining room above, designed for longer meals and focused conversation. The split layout allows visitors to choose between casual pub fare or a more settled table for the full menu.
