I have exhibited at various shows in Earls Court in London over the years and have tried all sorts of restaurants near Earls Court Exhibition Centre during that time. The list that follows is not exhaustive and they are not necessarily the best for culinary dining (although some are amazing). I enjoyed eating at all of these places though and hope you do too.
1. 222 Veggie Vegan
I love this little restaurant which is just a short walk from Earls Court Exhibition Centre at 222 North End Road. Run by internationally renown vegan chef, Ben Asamani, the food is delicious and a healthier meal closer to a trade show you could not hope to find. Even if you aren't a vegetarian or a vegan this restaurant is a must, with friendly staff and a cafe style vibe. Book a table at 222 Veggie Vegan by clicking here
2. Harwood Arms
This Michelin star gastro pub is a little jewel tucked away on the corner on Walham Grove (just near Seagrave Road car park on the Old Brompton side of Earls Court exhibition centre). Even though it's won loads of awards and is highly rated it manages to combine the excellent food with a down to earth atmosphere. If you enjoy meat you'll love the British produce on offer here. There are some nice fish options although there's not much available for veggies. Find out more about the Harwood Arms by clicking here
3. Addies Thai
This is a great Thai restaurant on Earls Court Road with friendly staff and is obviously a local favourite as I always seem to find it busy, even on weekdays. Set across two floors I have never had to wait long for a seat though. The food is so delicious and fresh that I try and visit it every time I exhibit at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre. Service is swift and the prices are reasonable. Click here to visit Addie's Thai website
4. The Hansom Cab
This place is a little further up Earls Court Road and is a beautifully refurbished pub with the kitchen under the aegis of Marco Pierre White. On the menu are classic British pub favourites with some nice vegetarian options. The staff are friendly and the food is surprisingly affordable and very tasty, especially the puddings which are delicious. Click here for more information about The Hansom Cab
5. The Troubador
This cafe style pub on Old Brompton Road isn't as "gastro" as the others on my list, it's classic fare from an iconic venue that still has live music most nights. They've played host to a great number of musicians since the fifties including Hendrix, Elvis Costello, Morcheeba, Adele and Bob Dylan (who inspired us to name our company Blue Eyed Sun). It's on this list because I have had many fun nights there with friends after exhibiting all day at the Earls Court exhibition centre. The staff were very welcoming, it's busy and the atmosphere is buzzing. The food is comforting and there are a mixture of vegeterian options on the menu.
