About us
The first pub to open in Paddington Village, this beautiful building is loved by the local community for its trivia, Sunday sessions and live sporting events. The sun-drenched balcony is a outstanding spot to soak up the Paddington air with a glass of wine, cold beer, or one of our many cocktails. The Village Inn evokes Paddington’s old-charm soul. The heritage building’s bi-fold doors open to all who stroll down The Intersection of the fashion mecca. Delicious and fuss free, the menu celebrates old-school pub fare.
