"Gold is a huge three-storey pub and restaurant in Notting Hill that’s far more glossy than your average boozer. We’re talking plush, tan banquette seating, arty murals, foliage, exposed brick, and an open-roof conservatory that is basically the Garden of Eden if Marie Kondo gave it a good tidy up. It’s also a people-pleaser, with a menu that includes things like roasted sweet potatoes with chimichurri, braised short rib agnolotti, as well as a feta, grape, and shallot salad. There’s Amalfi lemon tart for pudding too." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
