Lord Dudley Hotel

While the neighbourhood is home to Sydney's elite this cosy, unassuming hotel offers a place packed with warmth and comfort. Think old-school British pub - the main seating area is decorated like a country house with an open fire, prints featuring hunting scenes and elegant bench-style seating, and there's also a welcoming front lounge bar. The menu matches the homely setting with its meat-heavy, English-style pub grub. Chicken pie is flavoursome, while bangers and mash is the food equivalent of a big hug. It has an extensive beer and wine list and serves pints in dimple mugs, which may add to its popularity with Brits.
