Most memorable thing for me as American here is finally able to enjoy a beer at a British pub. This place is huge. Inside has over 30+ seat from bar and booth and outside has tons of bench table as well as covered booth. Best time to come is night hour. Since this is an after meal drink, I unfortunately only get to try two of their long list of beers. Going for about 5 to 6 pound each, I think it is pretty reasonable. Beside two tourists (us), this place is packed with mostly locals and young professionals. For sure will visit again on my return.

The Garden Gate sits next to the overground and Hampstead Heath, so there's easy access to transportation and a lovely walk through the park. GG also has a great beer garden for nice weather (dogs welcome)! The Sunday roasts we ordered were absolutely delicious - plenty of flavour, gravy, and the meat was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend a visit!

It was busy on a Saturday afternoon, but we easily grabbed a table for two downstairs. I would recommend a reservation if you're visiting during peak times. There is also a more formal dining room upstairs for a quieter, sit-down experience. We enjoyed some bread with oils, the soup, and the fish, all of which were excellent and paired perfectly with a Neck Oil. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and there are cute picnic tables outside, making it a lovely spot to enjoy a drink on a nice day. Overall, a fantastic neighborhood pub that's worth a visit.

Ultimate London comfort food!…read more On a Saturday night around 7:30PM, the wait for a party of five was 45 minutes. The food was well worth the wait. The Steak and Blackheart Stout Pie was delicious. The steak was tender and the mash was smooth. Definitely get the Sticky Toffee Pudding. The pudding was sweet, soft, and warm, pairing perfectly with the silky pudding and cold vanilla ice cream.

I had a "main course" beetroot salad, which was tasty and beautifully presented, but would pass for a light starter at best. This had to be supplemented with their "famous chips", which were average chips, but shaped like tater tots. The bill for this light dinner and a cider -- £18.60. I do appreciate how accommodating they were for a vegan, but this won't be my new go-to restaurant. I might be back for drinks and board games, but probably not for food.

It is a place where you can truly relax and spend a nice Sunday without being bothered by the irksome realities of of the tidal wave of humanity that is London life. We came here last Sunday, a day of fag having had a walk on the Heath for Sunday lunch (I can't think of much that is more London than that!) where we each had some beautiful roasts. I had the Pork Shoulder and my partner had the roast beef sirloin. Both were beautiful with a nice crisp Yorkshire pudding and glazed honey vegetables. I would suggest that the Pork was better. It was soft tender and tasty to the point that you didn't even need a knife as the succulent flavours wafted out while clawing away at it. Lovely service, lovely place and I wish it it was my local!

Visibly frustrated at guests, the staff, and bleeding out the neuroticism to everyone else. Ruined the atmosphere and the first moment of peace for everyone arrived when she took her break and left. 2) Inattentive, poor service. On more than one occasion customers conducted an informal relay service (perhaps we could have set up a semaphore station) to tell waitstaff that customers outside needed their attention. Now, the good news: good coffee and at least one worker who manages to be a balance to the neurotic and stressed-out server. Also, delicious food. It's also in a nice, quiet corner of Hampstead. But may not be worth the hike. The best reviews are from months and years ago, and that's telling.
