What a pub! @thehero_w9 🤌🏽🔥

Been meaning to visit the revamped Hero and finally got in for an early dinner. What a space. The four storey building has been totally refurbed with a casual restaurant on the ground floor and a soon to be opening, slightly more formal grill up on the first. Rustic-chic interiors and classic but elevated pub food on the restaurant menu. Everything from bangers and mash and a fish pie, to scotch eggs, a cheese toastie + ham egg and chips. Finding proper pubs in London with good food isn’t easy, but these guys know what they’re doing - it’s the same team behind @thepelican_w11 and @thebullcharlbury so you can expect a similar style of operation. The lamb ribs were delicious - nicely charred, sticky and meaty. Similar to those at Devonshire! Cod cheeks were great too, crispy, light and perfectly cooked with a mild curry sauce and lemon on the side. Cheese toastie.. phenom. Rich, but it shouldn’t be any other way - buttery, crispy and oozing with cheddar. For mains I ordered the roast chicken for two, beautifully grilled and sat on toasted brioche. Served with a chicken sauce and giroles - lovely dish. Steak and chips, very pretty! I don’t personally like onglette - found it very chewy and tough to eat, but flavours and sear were there. Fish pie, immaculate. The potato was light, fluffy, buttery and beautifully browned. It’s honestly such a lovely pub - looking very forward to the opening of their grill. Will be back soon to hit that first floor. In the meantime, go here! #notoriousfoodie
