The Warrington Hotel in Maida Vale is scheduled to reopen in spring 2027.
Chef Max Taylor-Baggs will oversee the pub menu and new restaurant Minnie’s.
The restoration includes ten hotel rooms, historic interiors and a new pub garden.
Former Straker’s and Dorian chef Max Taylor-Baggs will lead the kitchen at the historic Maida Vale pub.
There’s a familiar name behind the next chapter of one of Maida Vale’s landmark pubs. Jamie Allsopp, the man behind Allsopp’s Brewery and The Blue Stoops in Notting Hill, is preparing to reopen The Warrington Hotel in spring 2027. With Chef Max Taylor-Baggs taking charge of the kitchen, the project will combine a restored neighbourhood pub, a new restaurant and ten hotel rooms.
Taylor-Baggs brings experience from Straker’s and Dorian, giving the opening a strong West London connection. At Dorian, he was part of the team awarded a MICHELIN star in 2024. His brief at The Warrington covers two dining experiences, giving visitors a choice between a meal in the pub and a table at the restaurant upstairs.
In the pub, modern British cooking will draw on European influences, with a raw bar, snacks to accompany a pint and seasonal main courses. Dessert deserves its own mention: the pudding menu will change daily, giving regulars something new to try.
Upstairs, Minnie’s will introduce a separate restaurant centred on Anglo-French classics. Its name comes from Allsopp’s great-great-grandmother, Minnie Allsopp, who wrote a bestselling Edwardian cookbook. The dining room will take its cues from a brasserie, with a lively atmosphere intended to appeal to the neighbourhood. Individual dishes are yet to be announced, with more details due ahead of the opening.
Dating back to 1857, the Grade II listed building sits at the corner of Warrington Crescent and Sutherland Avenue. The renovation will give the bedrooms a fresh look while preserving the pub’s decorative features. Ceramic tiles, mosaic floors and marble fireplaces are all being restored, keeping the building’s Victorian character central to the redesign.
Downstairs, the Public Bar will remain a space for standing drinks, while the adjoining Saloon Bar will offer booths and a fireplace for those settling in over lunch or dinner. Live piano performances are planned every evening, alongside Sunday singalongs. A new pub garden will add another place to gather.
Mark Angell joins as head of operations, following his time at The Kerfield Arms in Camberwell, which earned a MICHELIN star in 2026.
