With traditional mahogany fittings, seven real ales frothing at the tap and a constant flow of hearty British classics, the Mad Bishop & Bear is so much more than a glorified station lounge. Found on the first floor of Paddington station, this Fuller’s boozer opens with a hearty breakfast at 8am and sees commuters through until late.

Stop in early for the most important meal of the day or drop by for a light lunch; traditional favourites like steak pie, fish & chips and sausage & mash all vie for position on a packed out menu. The signature squad of Fuller’s ales means there’s always something tasty to wash it all down with, and there’s a good spread of wines and spirits to round things off.

The Mad Bishop & Bear’s upper area is custom made for private functions, readily available to host anything from a high profile business meeting to a laid back birthday bash with your nearest and dearest.
