Hampstead, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

By many accounts “by far the best gastropub in the Hampstead area”, this particularly “welcoming and charming” Georgian tavern has been run for two decades by Beth Coventry (sister of the doyenne of restaurant critics, Fay Maschler). “Great outside seating… if you can nab it”.

“A useful, casual-dining addition to the area” – this old Hampstead village pub (formerly the Rosslyn Arms) was brought back to life in Autumn 2022, with a “stylish fit out” featuring a retractable glass ceiling. Fans say it’s now the “perfect neighbourhood café/restaurant”, with “the loveliest staff and reliably good food”.
