Christmas parties
Food Served
12pm - 10pm
Winter is when our really comes alive. Longer nights mean busier Thursdays and weekends, DJs night getting better up and plenty of reasons to stay for one more.
Whether you’re settling in for a tasty roast, planning your big Christmas party, joining for Autumn Nations, meeting your mates for winter bevs, or heading out for a night that definitely won’t end after one, expect delicious food, great drinks and the best atmosphere in Shepherd’s Bush.
Cold outside and hungry inside. Our kitchen takes fresh, seasonal British ingredients and gives them a cheeky Shepherd’s Bush treatment, with big flavours, indulgent plates and plenty made for sharing around the table.
Drop in for something substantial, order a few plates for the group or settle in for a proper Sunday recovery roast, and wash it all down with something on tap. Whatever the plan, come hungry!
If you’re planning a party this winter, you’re in the right place.
Head upstairs to Philby’s, our private party room with its own bar and space for up to 100 standing, or grab an area downstairs and stay right in the middle of our pub atmosphere.
From birthdays and Christmas parties to work socials and those gatherings that started as “just a few drinks”, we’ve got the spaces, drinks and party energy to make it a big one.
Winter drinking season has officially arrived. Get cosy with perfectly poured pints, bold-flavoured red wines and bottles of bubbles, or work your way through our new winter cocktail list.
Our winter calendar is packed with reasons to get the group together, look forward to busy Thursday nights, DJs and music-led weekends, quizzes, pop-ups, a photo booth and themed parties.
Your four-legged pub buddy is always welcome during the day, pop in after a winter walk, grab yourself a pint and we’ll sort them out with water, treats and plenty of attention from the team.
December drinks? We know a place.
Round up the group chat and head to ours for Christmas cocktails, cold pints, festive sharers and the kind of Christmas party that definitely doesn’t finish after dinner. From work Christmas drinks and big friendmas nights to full-blown private parties upstairs in Philby’s, we’ve got your end-of-year celebrations covered.
And yes, Christmas Day gets its moment too. Swap your usual Shepherd’s Bush chaos for festive food, proper drinks and a Christmas Day celebration with us.
Our courtyard isn’t just for summer, covered from whatever the weather and made for groups, it’s the perfect place to gather over winter pints, cocktails and something to eat before heading inside as the night gets louder. Expect drinks flowing, music building and our amazing atmosphere, with a little more fresh air thrown in.
Sundays are made for taking things slow… at least to begin with. Settle in with one of our proper Sunday roasts, a pint or a glass of red and let the afternoon roll on. Then, as the plates are cleared, the soundtrack starts to take over.
We’re also getting ready to launch Blue Sundays, bringing live blues music to the pub and giving you one more reason to stick around after lunch. Come for the roast, stay for the music and see where the Sunday drinks takes you.
Planning your team or Christmas party and don’t want to leave early? Keep things going with a stay at one of our nearby Young’s pubs with rooms, so the only journey you need to worry about at the end of the night is from the bar to bed.

Big tackles deserve an even bigger atmosphere, join us for the Autumn Nations as international rugby takes over our screens. Get the group together, grab the pints and settle in for the match, then stick around for the after party. For the biggest fixtures, booking ahead is strongly recommended.
