this is a very pretty little pub, all hanging baskets and wisteria, with nice inside as well and good reasonable priced food, staff were polite enough and locals at the bar were not menacing ( I went in as a lone female and got no smirks or stares!!)

Stumbled across this gem at the weekend. It's a small village pub at the top of a hill. Was quiet when I arrived, but the barmaid and locals were friendly. Small intimate bar with a wonderful little room up a couple of steps. The Youngs was perfect. Didn't think there were any pubs like this left in London!

Still the best pint of real ale in NW7 but the pub is dying. Regulars are becoming thin on the ground and the old ambience is lacking.

THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER......................... Good News for people who like this place as a pub, the current ignorant, crass and rude encumbent will shortly be leaving the establishment. It just goes to show that you can have the best pub in the world but if you have an idiot running it then you will never make any money. Hopefully the owner will learn from this mistake. I pity wherever in New Zealand this character ends up in. What kind of person who manages an establishment denegrates his own staff in front of customers, tells people his chef is an incompetent moron, hates the country he is working in and despises it's people ? As the saying goes "GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH". One reaps what one sews. Treat your customers like dirt and surprisingly they don't come back.

This used to be a busy and friendly locals pub in the evenings but now, largely due to the morose and miserable person in charge of the place, nearly all of the evening clientelle have decanted to other establishments in the area. The beer quality has nosedived too and the pub no longer appears in the good beer guide as a result. Nice pub, but you need to have someone running it who actually gives a damn. It's now an ideal place to go in the evening if you like your own company (though not if you fancy something to eat or drink).

I had to go to Mill Hill today for work and popped in here at lunchtime. It is a very pleasant little pub with an arts & craft feel about it but presumably older. A friendly local opened the door for me with a “you don’t want to be doing all that door staff” - droll.
I enjoyed a pint of Adnams and a tasty meal. I shall probably be working in the area again and I look forward to a return visit.
There was an actor drinking in the bar whose face was familiar but whose name I can’t for the life of me remember.

small cosy pub that makes you feel rural and out of london, good bitter on tap. car park can get busy on weekends/lunchtimes. food is of a good quality and beats the adam and eve to best pub food in mill hill.
regulars seem friendly and the cosy cubby holes and decoration is nice. more expensive than some but more care is taken with the quality. occasionally plays quite music such as jazz, mostly in the taste of the regulars. becks now on tap and aparently a carvery for sunday lunches.
A fine pub that will calm you down and tack you out of london without leaving the capital.

The ONLY pub in NW7 if you like real ale.
|
Technically my local (refuse to have anything to to with Jeremiah Bullfrogs), and the only thing which makes living in Mill Hill bearable. It serves Youngs Ordinary. The food is often quite good. The regulars seem jolly. Appealing barmaids. And Harry Potter's stunt-double always serves with a smile. Physically and metaphorically perched high above the deserts of North West London.

I was in this pub last week when the sun was shining brightly and it was 25 degrees. You are actually in London NW7 but it seems as though you are in an English village a long way from the smoke. Good food and ales kept in good condition.

As a tall person this pub is more dangerous than most for me after a few beers - I can imagine a few mysterious bruises appearing the next day from table/knee incidents and maybe even head/doorframe incidents.
Nonetheless, very nice, quaint; food portions were good and the beer seemed pretty good, but why have 3 very similar beers like Adnams, Pride and Youngs? Why not something that tastes a little different? I'm sure the market is there for it.
I also think this one will be lovely and welcoming in the winter, even with the outside toilets! I will definitely be going back to this one.

A decent, old-fashioned (in a good way!) pub. Cask ales, nice food.

a great little pub good food and friendly. but the landlord (Mary) has moved on to the Adam and eve on the ridgeway ,hope it stays the same with the new oweners, or im off to the adam
|
This is one of my favourite pubs and pretty local.
Great beer, food and staff.
Beer garden is a good place to be on a hot Sunday afternoon.
Open fires in the winter, wooden beams and outside toilets - what else could you ask for?

This pub is my local, excellent food, large portions. Lovely pint of Adnams bitter. Friendly owner and staff. No jukebox, no gaming machines. A throwback to how pubs used to be. Would recommend to anyone
|
This is my local, no juke box no gaming machines, lovely pint of Youngs. Excellent food, large rear patio for the summer evenings. Never seen any trouble there, ideal for those wanting a quiet drink in an historic pub.

This is a gem! The actual pub building dates back four hundred years. Adnams and Youngs complement Greene King Abbot Ale here, and the homecooked food is absolutely exquisite. Big portions too. I visited on 5th November 2002 and found the pub to be very friendly and welcoming even if it is a little hard to get to. Do try it - it's definitely worth the effort of finding.
