In pretty Hampstead, the Holly Bush is a cozy gastropub w/a seasonal menu . Must-orders include the buttery pork & sage sausage roll , the smoked pigeon, and the outrageously good sticky toffee pudding .

Ashley Norman

Great food and deletion of alcohol . Tucked away in the quiet streets of hampstead, it's perfect for a nice bite and a drink after a walk in the Heath. It's a bit on the pricey side though.

9 December: A village pub which offers a warm welcome and an even warmer fire, providing a cosy spot to spend a winter's evening. In 1807 it was converted from the stables of a house called The Mount.

Chris Macchi

Legendary pub in Hampstead, one of the cutest neighborhoods in London. It's a quality spot, worth trekking up for a walk around and pint at the pub .

Cozy pub in a magical little street in Hampstead. Try the beef pie , if you want to taste something british!

Jason

Cosy Winter pub (no garden and no windows in the large back room). Good home made food and usually some interesting guest ales .

Kornelija Maceviciute

Cozy authentic pub . Booking is a must for meals, it gets pretty crowded in the evenings.

Ross Groom

Though the lamb was a bit blubbery, great atmosphere on a wintery late afternoon and service good too!

Dertie Bixon

We like; historic cosy pub , with no mobile signal. We're less fond of; mostly a restaurant now, warm cellar, poorly kept beer . Overall a good bet.

Roberto Sanchez

Good food and great service. It’s bigger than it seems, so they can handle big groups

Cyndie Da Rocha

Cosy, comfortable , you just miss the blanket on your knees to feel like at home

Simon Willison

I had an excellent and extremely generous portion of roast pork belly

Lester Kan

Had Sunday Roasts . Nice building and deco. Food is ok. Not enough gravy for the roasts. Service is ok and overpriced. Food: 6/10, service: 5/10, ambience 7/10, value for money 5/10.

Jacob Domarus

Lovely pub and great Sunday roast , but book a table in advance; it gets busy!

Sally Nutt

Cosy pub full of character. Always a brilliant meal - food and wine .

Gabriella Bubbles

Any of the roasts and the sticky toffee pudding is a dream

Sherri Page

A lovely place, always enjoy myself each time I am there. Great food and great atmosphere.

Anna Kuntsman Rozenberg

the atmosphere is great, the steak is super delicious!

Andrei Ianovskii

Great interior and exterior, delicious food, but a bit pricy .

Palmers Lodge Boutique Hostels

Beautiful old school pub with amazing pies and great ales , all in a beautiful setting.

Ceara Pixie

Really good roast dinners ... However very expensive . £19.50 for a roast beef !

Marcello

The food is good indeed but I don't agree with 1 on price rating. At least 2. Pie and pint for around 20 pounds can't be rated as 1.

Catherine Chapman

Seriously, this is THE place in London for the best roast ever. Sirloin roast had to be done, every mouthful an elixir to the tastebuds. Mmm mmm MMMM!

Lila P

Dolly Alderton’s favourite pub in London for winter boozing (Dec 2021)????

Anthony Ryman

Full on weekend hoorah let's do it Sunday roast pub . Great beer !

Marco Pera

Michael Hadwin

Cosy incognito drinking hole. Well kept beer .

Yiota Pap

Very nice pub with great food

Lloyd L

Good roasts, good service (much better than a year ago :) )

Mark Stone

Try the newly stocked Frontier craft lager .

Anthony Ryman

The beer . And that's it. Food was diabolical. Stay away from the lentil salad mush and the beef pie which was black, dry and hard as nails . Horrible! See below.

Laura Nolte

The nicest pub in the area, and they do good food, too. Not that busy if you get here early!

Hel Ga

Excellent and lively for a sunday lunch ! Portions are enormous!

Jonny Wright

No vegetarian roasts- veggies get a squash fritter or goat 's cheese salad , but no nut roast. Disappointing!
