You want a date that can easily turn into dinner if the sparks are flying? A gastropub is the ultimate overachiever. It’s relaxed, loud enough to hide awkward pauses, but refined enough to feel fancy.
The Harwood Arms in Fulham is London’s only Michelin-starred pub. Yes, a pub with a star! You can get a world-class venison pie next to people in jeans. It’s sophisticated without being snobby.
For something less flashy but equally delicious, try The Gun in Docklands. It has a stunning riverside terrace, and they serve the best fish and chips in town. Eating great food together is a bonding experience—way better than picking at olives.
