Large main road pub at West Hampstead Green. A mixture of high and low seating is provided to suit all requirements. Fairly large outdoor drinking areas can be found at both back and front. Food is served from a short but well thought menu with brunches served Friday and Saturday, see their website for more detail.

For many years badged as a standard Greene King pub but now trades under its Metropolitan Pub Company brand. This did result in an expanding and changing range of real ales but as at July 2024 we seem to be down to just the one handpump but if that keeps the quality up, so much the better..

Information for this venue is provided by the North London Branch of CAMRA
