Pilot Chiswick

Description

Tucked away in the heart of Chiswick, The Pilot is a stylish yet laid-back pub that blends contemporary charm with the character of a classic London local. Just a short walk from Gunnersbury Station, it’s a hidden gem known for its warm welcome, beautiful garden, and relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

The menu celebrates fresh, seasonal ingredients with a mix of modern British dishes and much-loved pub classics, perfectly paired with a wide range of cask ales, craft beers, and fine wines. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual drink, a leisurely Sunday roast, or dinner with friends, The Pilot delivers quality and comfort in equal measure.

The pub also caters to private and semi-private events, offering flexible spaces both indoors and out — from intimate gatherings in the cosy dining room to lively celebrations in the garden. The garden itself is a true highlight: a picturesque, greenery-filled haven that’s bathed in sunshine during summer months, and just as inviting in winter thanks to its covered seating, heaters, and blankets for a warm, cosy retreat.

Combining exceptional food, great service, and a charming neighbourhood feel, The Pilot is the perfect place to eat, drink, and unwind in true Chiswick style.
