Galvin HOP

Clerkenwell, Shoreditch & Spitalfields


It may be the little sister of glamorous Galvin La Chapelle next door, but this 'pub deluxe', as it styles itself, is all about giving traditional pub fare a well-executed turn: think premium hot dogs and burgers, fish pie and venison casserole. Go 'bottomless' for brunch for just £10, with your choice of Bloody Mary, prosecco or pilsner.
