All In London Review
Somewhat surprisingly, The Elk in the Woods isn’t just a pretty place it’s also very reasonably priced
The two-room venue is done up in snappy Scandinavian style. The walls are formed from distressed, raw wooden planks and there is a mixture of mid-century furniture dotted around from comfortable armchairs to old wooden tables and chairs. The hip look is completed with a back bar that is covered with white and green tiles – chic.
We stop in for brunch, which seems to be a popular time to visit. We both sample a skillet with elk sausages, poached egg, potatoes and pancetta and vow to return later that day to order the same again – yes, it was that tasty. You can also find a traditional English breakfast along with pancakes, pears and cinnamon, goats curd on sourdough and eggs Benedict. Somewhat surprisingly, The Elk in the Woods isn’t just a pretty place it’s also very reasonably priced with brunch dishes all under £8.00.
In the evening the venue turns into much more of an intimate bar that serves main dishes. Think roast chicken served in the pan, rib-eye steak and smoked haddock and salmon cassoulet among other dishes. Prices are higher at around £17.00 for a main but you don’t have to eat. You could always stick to the draught beer or cocktails. We definitely want to sample the Bourbon Growler – a concoction of bacon-smoked bourbon with cynar, peychaud bitters, maple and orange spray – and we soon will.

This is a great place for food and drinks, especially in a cold winter night. It has a very authentic pub atmosphere and excellent service.
