About Sun in Splendour

A bright, bow-fronted Portobello Road pub dating to 1852, with a sheltered courtyard garden that fills up fast on market days.

Sitting at the quieter, southern end of Portobello Road near Notting Hill Gate, the Sun in Splendour has been serving the neighbourhood since the mid-19th century. Its curved yellow frontage and bay windows make it instantly recognisable, and the small courtyard garden at the back is prized for weekend barbecues and long summer afternoons. It's a relaxed, unpretentious spot that draws a mix of market traders, locals and visitors spilling out from Portobello.

On tap

A solid pub selection of cask ales, lagers and a well-liked Bloody Mary.

Food

Straightforward pub classics served all day, with barbecue nights in the garden through summer.
