A WARM WELCOME EVERY TIME

A Notting Hill landmark steeped in history, the Hillgate offers the charm of a traditional in the pretty streets behind Notting Hill Gate station.

The Hillgate is part of a family-owned group of eight pubs founded by James Corbett, whose focus has always been on creating a welcoming space for the local community, where good food and great service provide a relaxed atmosphere.

“Great pub tucked away behind southside of Notting Hill tube station, away from hustle and bustle of high street. I'm increasingly of the opinion this is one of the best pubs in London: the staff are all very attentive, efficient and friendly; there's a solid selection of drinks, including cocktails; and the atmosphere is always very lively on the weekend.”

“I celebrated my birthday here a few weeks ago in the private room upstairs with a group of 20, and it was an amazing experience. The service was impeccable, and our server, Alex, was fantastic, attentive, friendly which made the evening extra special.  From the initial booking to the night itself, the staff at The Hillgate were incredibly helpful and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend it!”
