For years, we’ve struggled to find anywhere decent to eat in Paddington. Aside from the Frontline Club or the tiny Monocle Kioskcafe, we’ve never found anywhere and, returning from Somerset, we once ended up meeting a friend for overpriced wine in what was the unlovely Sloe Bar in Paddington station. Those days are firmly behind us, now that The Pilgrm Hotel has opened, serving food and drinks throughout the day. Thrillingly, The Pilgrm is visible from the station so it really is little more than a hop, skip and a jump from the train platforms.
