nice relaxed place with good food, friendly staff and not too pricey for the area. though if you're just out for a beer the bar at the side is a bit small and dingy compared to the bright spacious area dominated by the diners. not a bad place to while away a few hours...

Attractive pub, nice staff, great food. But they seem to think that lager should be served at room temperature and bitter should be chilled. C'mon guys!

Also, get those bloody parents with their kids out of the pub. The main bar often feels more like a creche.

Pleasant pub with a nice atmosphere. Beer a bit pricey, £3 for a pint of London Pride. Sunday roast also over priced, but complementary bread and oil almost made up for it.

Nice pub, a laid-back Hampstead local, attracts all sorts (yes, there are all sorts in Hampstead) unlike the pubs further up the hill in Hampstead Village proper. Beer's slightly too expensive with a European focus, but the "restaurant side" is a great sunny place to enjoy a refreshing afternoon pint of Grolsch.

The food's fine, but never lives up to the promise of its rather pretentious gastropub menu. Still, it's good value and miles better than many other pub/resaturants. Has a nice "mixed" atmosphere (diners at some tables, drinkers at others) for a low-key dinner out.

It's not a wildly exciting place, but not as stuffy as others make out.

This is not my favourite pub. The bar area on the right as you enter never has any seats free when I go and I end up sitting around the other side in what feels like a restaurant with its large open wall to the kitchen.
The lager is well kept but I do agree that I have felt like I have had to whisper as to not disturb anyone from their dinners.

It would be OK, but there are so many pubs within a stones throw that I choose not to drink here.
