£25 to £29, 2-3 courses, Mon to Fri, Lunch 12pm to 3pm.
Climb the stairs of a pub that has stood on Shirland Road since 1878 and The Hero of Maida becomes a candlelit grill dining room with half-moon booths, the seats The Infatuation recommends.

A Michelin star at lunch, and the Bib Gourmand alongside it
A set menu under £50 is where the Michelin Guide's two London worlds meet. Starred kitchens open the door at lunch, and Bib Gourmand bistros exist for good food at fair prices.
At Trishna, the Taste of Trishna lets a table stop at one course or carry on to four. Amaya serves its lunch platters every day in Halkin Arcade, where it has held a Michelin star since 2006.
The Bib Gourmand picks spread across the city. Lyon comes to the Fulham Road at Josephine Bistro Chelsea, a Victorian pub cooks a seasonal menu at The Hero of Maida, and Akara brings West African cooking to Borough Yards.
Planning a Michelin set lunch in London
Lunch is where these menus live, so the day matters. A set menu runs on fixed days: Levan serves Tuesday to Sunday, Akara Tuesday to Friday, and Manteca and The Hero of Maida Monday to Friday.
Evenings are possible too. The Palomar runs a pre-theatre sitting from 5pm to 6pm, Monday to Friday, and Trishna serves three or four courses for £45 to £50 every evening from 5pm to 6.15pm. More follow in the guide to pre-theatre set menus in London.
Provender posts the day's prix fixe to its Instagram stories, and Mignonette's French-rooted menu changes often with the seasons. Every London lunch set menu is on one page, and every set menu guide covers other occasions.
