This is a lovely pub on a quiet back street in Hampstead. The food is relatively typical pub food, but all is well-prepared. We had fish and chips, a pub burger, chicken Caesar salad, and tomato and burrata. Everything was lovely. They have a nice selection of beers as well as cocktails. We had a lovely peaceful dinner here. The setwas excellent, a d the staff gracious. Thus is a nice choice amongst the many pubs in Hampstead.

I got there right when it opened and got my pick of the tables. The menu was very appetizing and the food looked even better than it sounded.
