Used to be an amazing pub, very welcoming.
Now however it would seem has gone the unfortunate way of the yuppy gastro pub (mainly due to the new manager).
Let's hope it goes back to being a nive friendly local pub to have a drink in rather than a restaurant with a bar attached.
The Hillgate serves traditional pub food and has a strong sense of identity with a following of loyal locals. Its quietly tucked away position, behind Notting Hill Gate, gives a false impression of this lively public house. Pavement seating is also available.
