Book NowAbout Postmaster Hotel
Set inside an 1888 landmark, this sedate Kew gastropub serves generous pub classics with attentive table service. High timber arches and wood floors frame a relaxed room where massive chicken parmas arrive with crispy fries alongside plates of seafood marinara pasta. Regulars know the kitchen keeps running past 10 PM on nights when suburban dining shutters early, pouring pints of Guinness and dishing out warm sticky date pudding.
- Late-Night Dining: Full kitchen service runs until 10:00–10:30 PM, serving hot meals after most neighborhood kitchens have closed.
- Private Function Suites: Upstairs spaces like the Q-Room and Stamps Room feature dedicated bar setups for milestone celebrations.
- Substantial Counter Fare: Generous servings anchor the menu, from massive chicken parmas and steaks to rich seafood marinara.

Shane Carlin Late-Night Suburban Dining
A reliable late kitchen serves full hot meals right up to 10:30 PM, bridging the gap when other suburban spots close early.
firstly they're open till late serving food ,1 0 to 10 30 pm, which is great because Kew is dead at 9:00
