The Four in Hand, a true Paddington Pub! Perfect for a knock off drink or a cozy bottle of red on a Sunday arvo... This ideal winter pub has an intimate vibrant atmosphere and also serves brilliant food. Had a great bottle of red with a perfectly cooked steak...definitely get involved... -

The Four in Hand hotel is one of Paddingtons greatest hidden gems. Set down in the back end of Paddington, you will be hard pressed to find a non local in here as you would not know it is even there. On Anzac day, this pub is famous for holding 2 up competitions and there is not room for one more person in the bar, truly a great day out. The bar food is amazing as it shares a kitchen with one of the best restaurants in Paddington. I usually go for the steak which comes with a butter barnaise to spread on as you please. If you really want to make a day of it, then I suggest you try the restaurant which is the cosiest place to be on a wet winters day. They have been rated very highly by many food critics and I am yet to hear a bad word. The bar staff are very friendly and there is plenty of space in the bar so it is perfect for catching up with a group of friends. -

FOUR IN HAND DINING ROOM
From outside, you would not expect this laid-back pub to be home to the fantastic, white table-clothed, hatted restaurant that hides inside. The Four in Hand Dining Room is located just behind the main bar, interestingly, with windows overlooking the common bar area. I ate lunch here on a Saturday with my farmer dad and brother who are visiting from the country. To start we order a sourdough bread basket to nibble on. Flavoursome, crunchy and perfectly baked with fresh butter alongside. For mains I order the seared kingfish with crispy squid and a chickpea puree. It is perfection. The fish is cooked perfectly and the flavours are fantastic. My brother and dad order the tender Spring lamb with herb gnocci & fennel. They are also impressed with the quality of their lamb. Exquisite yet simple country-style meals prepared with flare. The service here is also 5-star. A very enjoyable experience indeed.

Who wouldve thought Sunday night roasts extended past sit downs with the family. Well it does, and Four in Hand pub does it very well.
Sunday nights at the Four in Hand pub are...yes, rowdy. Arriving at 7pm, the pub was still filled with what appeared to be the leftovers of long lunches. The wine list was reasonable, so much so we went with a couple of Sunday ciders and glasses of the house red (and Im not generally a house advocate.) The menu boasts a pretty decent pub variety - and all the meals that came out of the kitchen looked yummo.
Many of the meals appeared to be presented on large, wooden, chopping boards a nice touch. I developed a slight case of food envy with the battered fish & chips fell onto our neighbours high-table, but that was quickly overcome when the four plates (or boards in this case) arrived. A decent serving of roast beef (3 well cut slices) in the middle of a generous spread of mint and gravy, accompanied with carrot as a whole, pickled cabbage, roast potatoes & Yorkshire pudding. All for just $20.
Ill be making this a regular for a roast fix.

I visited the four in hand on Sunday night on a recommendation from an ever faithful Sunday night regular. I was told the roast is the way to go so I did not argue.
This weeks roast was roast beef. We ordered not long after being seated and grabbed a couple of drinks from the bar and sat eagerly waiting. The roast beef most certainly did not disappoint. Served on a large wooden board it was fabulously authentic. On the board there was 3 decent slices of tender looking beef covered in gravy, a handful of roast potatoes, one roast carrot and some pickled cabbage.
The meat was unbelievable. At $20 for the roast you expect to find fat and pieces of meat that are almost inedible. Nope every single morsel was delectable.
The perfect portion very filling but not too much.
Cant wait for next Sunday at the Four in Hand.

The Four in Hand

Tucked away in the back streets of Paddington, a low-key local welcomes all.
They say one in the hand is worth two in the bush. But what of Paddington's Four in Hand? Surely this is a bar where your odds are quadrupled, not least because there's a Toss the Boss challenge from 6 to 7pm every Sunday. A neighbourhood local with all the charm of an English pub, the Four in Hand completes the Empire associations with its polished timber bar, quirky locals and televisions screening the footy. It is friendly and unassuming, the type of pub to guzzle a bloody mary on a Sunday afternoon without so much as a raised eyebrow. But half the fun comes from remembering how to find the pub at the bottom of the hill. A maze of lanes, tree-lined streets and crumbling footpaths, Paddington is not an easy suburb to navigate without the benefit of local knowledge. It's always a gamble, guessing which streets will be one-way and hoping the next right-hand turn will send us cascading down a hill towards "the Four". And if your last visit was in the middle of a drunken A...

Four in Hand Dining Room

A champion team delivers bistro food that turns punters into winners and grinners.
My American friend is about to board her plane back to California. For her farewell dinner, I suggest good fish and chips, a cosy pub, a modernised interior and a fire. She's in. We gather the male contingent (one) and head to the Four in Hand. What we haven't counted on is that so have loads of rugby-loving Paddingtonites. They're cramming the bar with smoke and scarves and schooners raised to the huge televisions. Their worshipping, upturned faces are bathed in the glow of the screens. "Look, they're all watching football," says the sports neophyte. "That's not football," is the withering reply from the male contingent, "that's rugby". They're also munching on chips and we're salivating. There is nothing for it but to go around the corner and push open the dark wooden door under the scratched, gold lettered sign that says "dining room". You can see instantly this was where boarders and travellers in the early 20th century descended from their bedrooms for breakfast, lunch...

In this era of the global village, local heroes are rare. Online media have shrunk our big country, dissolved the borders, and a star is usually a national star these days, no matter where a chef hangs his or her toque (not that they wear the things any more).
