A classy boozer with gastropub credentials
The Thatched House has managed to nail the gastropub formula without losing its soul. Walk in and you're greeted by a warm, old-world atmosphere featuring chesterfield sofas, leather armchairs, and walls lined with impeccably reclaimed wood. There's a roaring fire that makes it particularly inviting on cooler evenings, and the space feels genuinely lived-in rather than staged for tourists.
The food menu strikes a nice balance between adventurous and familiar. You'll find dishes like cassoulet with slow-cooked duck, pork belly, and Toulouse sausage alongside more accessible options like steak and chips or a posh burger. The wine list is surprisingly comprehensive thanks to their Coravin system, which lets you try good bottles by the glass. The ale selection is equally strong, with both big-name brews and local options on draught.
What really sets this place apart is that it feels like a proper neighbourhood pub despite the gastropub credentials. It's not trying too hard, the service is friendly without being fawning, and you can come for a quick pint or settle in for a long meal. It's become a reliable spot for locals in Hammersmith who want quality food and drink in a comfortable setting.
