We take lunch, dinner & drinks reservations, as well as group bookings, tables to watch the sport or relax with friends and family.

Whether you're looking to hold a birthday celebration, a meeting with colleagues or a gathering with old friends, we cater for large and small parties. Our central location means that your guests will all be able to travel to and from the venue easily, and if you don't want the party to stop, we can book you one of our boutique on-site hotel rooms.

Some bookings may require a card authentication of £10 per person to secure the booking, depending on the group size, type of event or at peak times. No money is taken from your account with a pre-authorisation; money will only be claimed if your entire group fails to show for the reservation.  

Tables are held for up to 15 minutes past your booking time, if you are running late or unable to join us, please let us know as soon as possible.

We have Sky & BT Sport so will have most key sporting events on in the pub.  If there is a specific fixture you’d like to watch please get in touch so we can confirm it will be available and allocate your booking with a good view of the TV.

You are more than welcome to bring decorations for your pre-booked events however we do not allow confetti, confetti filled balloons or streamers in any of our spaces.

Children are welcome in our restaurant and main bar until 9pm.  A children’s menu is available on request; please let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements.

Our venue is located in the heart of Paddington; a vibrant area known for its canal basin, proximity to Central London and excellent transport links.  Our team will be happy to make local recommendations if you are visiting or exploring the local area.

Dogs are welcome in the Pride of Paddington.  Please make sure you let us know if you are bringing your four-legged friend so we can assign your booking appropriately. Dogs must be kept a on lead at all times.

Our main bar and bathrooms are all on the ground floor.  Unfortunately, due to the age and nature of the building our venue does not have an accessible toilet or accessible hotel rooms.  All of our hotel rooms are on the first, second or third floor.

Please note that we do not allow consumption of external food and beverages in our venue.

Hotel guests may bring their own food and drink for consumption in their room.
