About the Vibe
The Salusbury is the kind of place that makes you wonder why all London pubs don't do this: proper drinks on one side, Michelin-level food on the other, without the pretension. The food is genuinely impressive—think oysters with jalapeño, veal tartare with bone marrow, and chicken liver parfait that's better than most restaurants—while the bar still feels like a local. It can get a bit loud with the hard floors and thin tablecloths, but that's the price of a buzzing atmosphere in a space that manages to be both sophisticated and unpretentious.

Michelin-Level Food in a Proper Pub Setting
The Salusbury in Queen's Park is a rare find: a pub that takes its food seriously without losing its soul. The layout is clever, with a proper drinkers' bar on one side and a refined dining room on the other, separated by a rear bar that creates an intimate atmosphere. The menu is minimalist but confident, featuring dishes like oysters with cucumber and jalapeño, veal tartare with smoked bone marrow, and cod with mussels and leeks that show real culinary ambition. Executive Chef Tarryn Bingle's Michelin background is evident in every bite, from the hand-rolled linguine with black truffles to the Jerusalem artichoke agnolotti.
The space itself strikes a balance between French bistro elegance and pub warmth, with olive-green banquettes, leather booths, and vintage Tannoy speakers keeping the soundtrack authentic. It can get a bit loud due to the hardwood floors and minimal soft furnishings, but the energy is infectious. The drink list is equally impressive, with a good selection of craft beers including old-school Double Diamond, alongside well-crafted cocktails like the vodka martini served in delicate glassware. This is a place where you can have a proper pint and a world-class meal in the same evening, which is exactly what a modern London pub should be.
