"What It Is: An old pub in Maida Vale that’s been converted into a posh bistro. Perfect For: Dinner With Parents, Outdoor Seating, Group Dinners, Impressing Out Of Towners, Sunday Roast The Hero of Maida is just about as gorgeous as a pub conversion gets. It’s still recognisable as a boozer, but it’s had an elegant facelift, and the soaring ceilings and massive windows made it an incredibly nice place to have a meal. We knew much of the menu from our visits to their sister restaurant in Clerkenwell, and the French-style bistro food here was just as good. In particular, the grilled rabbit topped with bacon, and served in a creamy mustard sauce, was outstanding. The Verdict: An excellent spot for any occasion. Even if you’re not local, it’s worth travelling to Little Venice for. We’re putting it on our Hit List." - Sam Collins, Oliver Feldman, Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Eileen Twum

"This recent addition to Maida Vale from chef Henry Harris is a grand and modern space within a immense Victorian building, and the dining room serves up French bistro food of a standard befitting such elegant surroundings. Calves brains are fried until crisp and rich and served with a sharp caper black butter; Cornish plaice arrives atop a bed of samphire with generous lashings of butter and citrus. The Sunday roasts are also a cut above with huge platters of cote de boeuf, slow cooked shoulder of lamb, and spatchcocked chicken all designed to be shared." - Leila Latif

We had our wedding reception in the Hero of Maida in October and I cannot express how amazing all the staff were. We had the perfect day, everything went seamlessly. The food was fantastic, the staff were so kind and helpful and the pub was just beautiful. Our guests loved it. Thank you for making our day so special :)

That’s a fantastic option to relax,have a chat with your friends or family! The pub is great, with a variety of atmosphere as if the weather is nice you can easily stay outdoors or in the beautiful garden on the back. The menu is great very diversified, the food tasteful also good idea to have the meal indicated from the big “ chef”. They have a quiet area to read a good book or be with your laptop. Big tables for 4 to 6 people...or small tall tables just for two. The toilet very clean,pleasant to be there if you need so. The staff very smiling and please to attend. Christmas coming soon and you can see that they are prepared for! All kinds of drinks but a lovely cappuccino ... suits me very well in the afternoon and was prepared professional. Not very easy to park but possible.

HOM is a lovely renovated gastropub serving good quality European and British dishes with a nod towards fine dining. The food is generally well portioned and well flavoured using quality ingredients. Presentation is good as expected from an establishment that looks to give diners a more refined experience than your average pub lunch/dinner. As a new restaurant I think some service kinks are still being worked out which is why I have only given them 3 out of 5. On the occasion I visited service was quite slow and we were not told the reason for the delay. The dining room was probably a third full and with many of the diners (9) in our group ordering similar dishes it was hard to see why 3 courses took almost 3 hours to fulfill. On a couple of occasions food had to be chased or sent back however the staff were professional, friendly and understanding at all times. I have no doubt that if the service improves this will be a very popular place to go. The price point is probably slightly higher than one would expect outside of central London however given the area (Maida Vale) and the type of food offered it is to be expected. The variety on the menu should ensure diners of all budgets can find something they want.

Definitely the best Sunday roast lunch my wife and I both had so far in London. For starters we ordered the steak tartare, very tasty and loved the warm crusty bread on the side. Main was the lamb shoulder for two - falling apart lamb served with a beautifully cooked potatoes, vegetables and the all important Yorkshire pudding. And to end the wonderful meal with a classic sticky toffee pudding. A stunning lunch.

Gastro Pub - smart, clean and very modern. Had a good atmosphere. Food was alright but often tried a bit too hard. Mackerel still had bones, rabbit was a little over salty, chips a bit stale and the desserts looked nice but were nothing to write home about. Especially the jelly, more a compote jam than a smooth jelly! We had 50% off and would find it difficult to come here for the food at full price. Good place for a nice quiet drink though.

Didn’t expect to go into a pub and restaurant where the environment was just buzzing and head up stairs to the dinning area and it’s just relaxed. I really enjoyed the interior decor and use of candles. The ceiling and Chandeliers were amazing! The food overall was delicious, moderately priced and a wonderful dinning service experience. If you’re a local, make reservations on tuesdays and get 50% off. Amazing !

The chicken liver parfait was frozen hard when it was served; couldn’t spread it on the bread. The Sunday roast was average; there are better places to eat Sunday roast.

The food is really British Sunday roast at its best..the Yorkshire pudding to die for..light crispy tasty..of course not to mention the beef 😋 And for those wanting a non meat option there is the delicious mushroom spinach Wellington....just go!!
