The Concept
The Hart, a new offering by James Gummer, Phil Winser, and Olivier van Themsche, graces a notable Marylebone corner. Known for The Pelican in Notting Hill, this trio brings their seasoned hospitality to West London once more. Their vision: a local pub's conviviality melded seamlessly with a dining destination's gastronomic prowess, offering Marylebone both warmth and ambition.
What to Expect
Enter to a lively atmosphere, where the hum of conversation accompanies patrons escaping the London drizzle. Downstairs, embrace the pub's essence with booths and bar stools as companions to your drink. Ascend a narrow staircase to find a dining room of dark wood and ambient light. The menu, featuring crab cakes, leek tart, and fried mushrooms, complements the open kitchen's theatrical sensibility. Gas fireplaces and stained-glass windows complete the setting, offering a retreat from the city's pulse.
The Verdict
The Hart is a refined nod to public house tradition. Seek a corner table upstairs for a more subdued experience, where intimacy and elegance prevail.
