Gin & Oyster Bar Sends Shuck-Waves Through Notting Hill


Already a spot favoured by many, Pomona’s summer terrace is the place to be this year, boasting Instagram-worthy vibes with its bright British florals and foliage and a brand-new Gin & Oyster Bar.

Enjoy a plate of Maldon Oysters (£3 per oyster) – freshly sourced from Goldhanger Creek and River Blackwater in Essex – and settle down under a canopy of fragrant wisteria with one of the bar’s gin specials. Starting from £9 each, must-tries include South Side, muddled with lemon juice, sugar and mint; a Classic G&T Twist, infusing elderflower tonic with strawberry and black pepper; Gin & Ginger, bursting with lime and ginger beer; and a classic Negroni.

Once appetite whetted, peruse Pomona’s seasonal menu and indulge in one of its suitably summery dishes such as the dairy-free monkfish curry; grilled lobster with asparagus; or the crunchy butternut squash salad, and enjoy alongside a chilled Summer Spritz – a refreshing blend of Aperol, cucumber juice, rose syrup and prosecco.

For those after something a little heartier, choose from the Bertha oven’s Wood & Charcoal menu with dishes such as Welsh lamb rump with greens and goat’s curd; Chateaubriand with chunky chips to share; or Pomona’s house burger with bone marrow and bacon – pair them perfectly with a robust red or chilled beer.

If you ask us, we say Pomona’s terrace is perfect for weekend brunches, lazy afternoon lunches or after-work cocktails in the summertime sunshine. Come with your bffs and family or why not book a table for an intimate date night, set underneath twinkling fairy lights and hanging lanterns.

Private bookings, wedding receptions and exclusive terrace hire options are available upon request by calling the team on 020 7229 1503.
