Cask Ale Real Cider
Operator: Grace Land
Highgate Road, London, Kentish Town, NW5 1QX (View on Google Map)

Offers 5 cask beers, we do not think anything is regular! Check the Board to the left of the bar which shows what real cider is available. You will also find 4 keg beers from the Saint Monday brewery.

With this pub Grace Land secured its eighth London pub site: It is a London-based pub group, which also owns the Saint Monday Brewery. Situated opposite the main gate to Hampstead Heath along Parliament Hill, the pub had been trading as Swains Wine & Store in recent years.

Payment by card only.

Grace Lands co-founders Andreas Akerlund and Anselm Chatwin said: “We are passionate about bringing back lost pubs and planning a family-friendly place for all to enjoy.” The group carried out a major refurbishment to bring back its 150-year-old history. Saturday all-day brunches and Sunday roasts promise to be something extra special, as well as the group’s signature selected beer offer.

It followed the acquisition of the London Fields Brewery from Carlsberg Marston and the launch of the Saint Monday brewery and bar. Grace Land also operates the Bethnal Green Tavern, The Kings Arms, Red Hand, The Axe, Earl of Essex, and Black Heart in Camden.
