Vagabond Paddington in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Dont be fooled by the lovely setting. The food was tasteless, stale, tinned, and/or meager. And you pay 12.5% service charge for the privilege of ordering and paying (and giving your email) via an app.

Fun atmosphere and nice concept with wines on tap and self service. Staff are friendly and good music and experience for a Friday evening. Can be busy but we walked in and got a table relatively easily. We also shared a couple dishes which were tasty but on the small side

Went in for a drink after dinner with my husband. This is a great concept for a wine bar. The choices of wine are excellent. the venue is great, very hip and scenic. Although I didn't have my pooch with me, I saw a lovely dachsund come in, so they are very much dog friendly. Will return if I am in the area again.

Met a friend for impromptu glass of wine here - easy to order via the app. Food looked promising too and we went for the 4 small plates for £22. Food came out cold, truffle chips simply had Parmesan on the top. Mini Camembert was rock solid and the Arancini flavourless. Disappointed. All a bit show but no go.

We stopped for a wine whilst waiting for a train connection - so ‘getting down to it’ was our priority. The card system would take too long I think - Good app concept; not quick when you first use it and a bit of an ache - I would recommend enabling Apple Pay for speed. Nice selection of wines, but as far as I could tell, those listed on the app-order-at-table lacked heavier oakier choices in the white - which is my style. Really friendly staff though! And superbly decorated venue.

Dropped in with family after lovely day in little Venice. Bought a wine supposedly in style of white burgundy - it was not although charged at white burgundy prices. We sat outside amongst terrible noise of a circular saw being used and was charged 12.5% service fir pulling a cork and giving us glasses - not something you expect from a wine/pub and it made overcharged wine a rip off. The idea is brilliant and have visited others of this concept, but this version just seemed a way to fleece customers.

It’s a wine and beer bar with some nice food bits - not much different from anywhere else you’d think, but the selection of wines is incredible. The serve yourself feature works well and the place has a nice buzz to it. Not so many beers on tap but enough to keep you happy. It’s expensive but I can’t think where you’d get the chance to sample these wines by the glass anywhere else. We enjoyed it and will definitely be back!

This is a great idea, an opportunity to try less often found wines. Getting to a point of being able to pour wines took a little while, but once I had everything set up it was brilliant. One bottle of wine ran out during the pour but the owner helped and I had a very generous pour in the end so definitely can't complain. THere is a wonderful range of wines, well described, and giving a chance to sample some more unusual ones. If you like wines then this is an exciting place to visit. Food is good, it isn't as though this has just concentrated on the wines, and it is a really nice atmosphere. You could think that a self serve place would not have the staff to look after you. You couldn't be more wrong. The staff are friendly and helpful, welcoming. There is an overwhelming happy feel to the place. I will certainly be going back, and would happily take friends or business.

Wonderful haunt with a very good vibe. I enjoyed the drink and nibbles and was grateful to the wonderful staff etc. I will definitely return with friends.

I think Vagabond hasn't maintained its brilliant experience since things went back to normal after Covid - much smaller offering of wine. Still love the experience and think it's a great idea. Food is good but slightly overpriced.

Very sad place to go tbh. We felt rushed, selection was not really amazing like for a wine bar. Oldest wine maybe 3 years at really high markup, at the end we felt really rushed being asked to put our wine to plastic cups because they "need to close". Chees board really pathetic, I think that was the saddest looking cheese board I ever had. Very average service, seems like staff was more focused on closing on time rather than serving customers at appropriate level. No paper copy menus all orders done on the phone and of course service included what ever you like it or not. Saddest wine bar I ever visited.

After an epic day of shopping my sister treated me to some great wine and food at Vagabond in Paddington on Sunday. The venue is clean including the bathrooms, people were friendly, staff were happy, polite and attentive - A very rare sight these days. The place is beautifully situated by the canal, a perfect sight on a hot summers day with a glass in hand. We ordered 5 small plates and a bottle of wine. It arrived in good time, the food was correctly seasoned, served at the right temperature and presented in little blue plates. All were delicious! Vagabond, you have a fantastic warm bunch of attentive staff, you should be proud of yourselves. We will definitely be back! Maria

Stopped by without having booked but managed to get a table, surprisingly busy yet received a first class experience. Many many wines available by the glass and helpful, friendly staff to help guide choices. Felt completely at ease with distancing, hygiene and professionalism of staff. Had a few small dishes, but was mostly a wine based evening, and even good wines seemed fairly priced. Would happily return.

I came last weekend with a few friends, from start to finish we had an amazing experience! All the team were super cool, friendly and so helpful! Not only is it a great experience with all the different wines but the place also gives off a fantastic vibe! Also COVID safe! We will defiantly be back :)

Had a lovely afternoon with some lovely recommend wines. Special shoutout to Raluca who made us feel right at home with great hospitality. Thanks for having us!

Visited with a friend - brilliant concept based on a top up card, which then enables you to self service any of the wines at the measure you want. We also ordered some food - beetroot hummus, tataki beef, arancini and truffles for dessert. The...

We loved the place at the beginning, the concept was fun and nice, food was amazing, but the manager came to us before we leave and the waitress said we spanked her!! It is funny she was 3 meters away from us when she pass...

It was really nice to taste different wines next to regents canal. We were lucky to have a good weather. Enjoyed the sun and the wines. Such a lovely evening.

As part of my friends 30th I was tasked to arrange wine tasting as part of her birthday celebrations! After contacting a few Vagabond stores, Martha emailed to arrange the event in the Paddington store and she could not have been more helpful. Martha went...

There are rows and rows of different wines to choose from. So you Pre pay a card and then go and select your wines, easy but a bit on the pricey side. I preferred beer which ranged from £6.90 to £8 a pint

Le concept n'est pas mauvais mais... très surfait! De "petits vins" à prix trop élevés. Restauration bonne mais...il faut presque...

Went with a couple of colleagues for lunch. Loved the atmosphere and comfort. Unfortunately we did not try the wines as had to go back to work. However they looked very enticing. The small plates were delicious and we ordered 5 between the 3 of...

We went as an adult family group of 8 and won’t be returning! There was no service and the system of “wine tasting “ ( self service with a pre paid card) at £1.75 for a sip was a total rip off. The tapas style...
