Hill, Primrose Hillback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
I have had a few nice evenings in here with my delightful girlfriend though the clientele seems to consist mainly of financial sector workers - thus terminally negating any aspirations it obviously has towards achieving bohemian style.

A pub for people who really don't like pubs. I really do like pubs so I htought it was rubbish.

I was in here late Sunday afternoon and I think there was a private function going on in one half of the pub, so everyone else was crammed into the other half.
My group felt very uncomfortable having a drink sitting amongst diners so we planned to leave after one pint. Then just as we were about to go we were asked to move to make room for a couple that had made a reservation. You have to ask yourself if this should actually be classed as a pub, I would say not!
I’m not sure that this place is in Primrose Hill, I would have said Belsize Park or maybe Chalk Farm, but not Primrose Hill.
Anyway, it doesn’t really matter where it is as I doubt I’ll ever go back.

Mixed feelings about this place. Have been before, but never tried the food- so our eating there was a first and will be the last....
Went for a meal early evening on a Friday. Started off well: nice selection of wines and dishes, lovely waitress. Our starters (artichoke salad/risotto and a stilton/ mushroom concoction) were delicious and we looked forward to our mains, but were very disappointed. The beef tagine was no more than a bog standard stew and needed lots of seasoning added; the pea pancake dish with goats cheese was just too cloying and eating it was an effort. We then waited an aeon to be offered the dessert menu- our original waitress was replaced with a slightly mardy female who proceeded to attend to the champagne quaffers and ignored us. A shame, as we were all set to do the full works with dessert, coffee, liqueurs, etc...but got bored with waiting and decided to leave. Didn't bother with the suggested amount for the 'optional' tip, needless to say....
Disapppointing :o( As a pub it works, as a pub with restaurant thingy, it doesn't.....

Extraordinary interior. Beautiful barmaids. Tender lighting. Decent beer, wide selection of wine. Beer garden. The most patrician pub you will ever enter! It is an experience, but is not a 'boozer' by any stretch of the imagination - try over the road at the Richard Steele.

After an intensive search that lasted most of summer 2006, The Hill emerged the winner of the Best Pimms in London award.
Seriously good Pimms - heaving with stawbs, cucumber, lemon, orange...
Worth checking out, a quirky and interesting boozer.

went for a meal there the other night. Paid on my card and they overcharged me. It was an effort to get money back from the miserable waitress. Food crap.

Not bad on the whole - food ok but a little pricey...
