Description
Set on a quiet Kentish Town street, The Parakeet Pub is a modern neighbourhood pub that effortlessly balances old‑school charm with seriously impressive cooking. From the outside it feels reassuringly classic, but step inside and you’ll find a warm, design‑forward space that hums with local energy. It’s relaxed without being rough around the edges - the kind of pub where you can pop in for a pint and happily end up staying for dinner.
Food is the real draw here. The Parakeet has earned widespread acclaim, including a Michelin Bib Gourmand, thanks to its seasonal, produce‑led British menu and exceptional value. In the kitchen is Ben Allen, whose background in top London restaurants shines through in dishes that feel thoughtful yet unfussy. Expect elevated pub plates, beautifully judged flavours and one of the capital’s most talked‑about Sunday roasts, served with real care and zero gimmicks.
Drinks are handled with similar intention, from well‑kept ales and thoughtful wines to understated cocktails that suit the setting perfectly. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and unpretentious, adding to the sense that this is a pub made for its community first and foremost. Whether you’re booking in for a special meal or dropping by on a whim, The Parakeet delivers everything you want from a modern London pub - and then some.
