Stunning pub in a beautiful location. I love that it’s tucked away between a bustling semi-high street and a walk, almost like a sequential transition for you to walk off a heavy roast. Service was quite slow and it’s definitely not cheap, but overall a spendid experience.

We had Sunday Roast here for Mother's day last week. It really exceeded our expectations. The staff were unbelievely lovely and very kind to our son who is 19months old. The Roast lamb was probably the nicest lamb I have ever tasted ,it really stood out. Lovely warm and busy atmosphere! We can't wait to come back!

🚇Hampstead 🍺 £6.90 Amstel The Holly Bush is tucked away in a secluded atmospheric corner of Hampstead in North London. The nearest Tube is Hampstead. The building was originally built as stables for adjacent Romney's House in built the 1790s and used as the catering wing for the Assembly Rooms in the 19th century, before becoming a pub. This historic pub is Grade II listed and has been a Fullers house since 2010. The interior is welcoming and cosy, divided into several interlinked rooms, with a bar area at the front leading to intimate dining rooms and a further elegant dining room upstairs. The décor is quintessentially British pub, with rich dark wood panelling, brass fittings, framed prints, small historic details, and etched glass and mirrors. There are delightful features throughout, including fireplaces, but my favourite is the glorious oval glass Benskins Brewery sign. The beer selection is solid, offering premium lagers, local London brews, and three cask ales. I opted for an Amstel; my pint was excellent, though the price point was on the high side. Food-wise, it’s classic gastropub fare: fish and chips cost £24, and roasts take centre stage on Sundays. I arrived just after 12pm on a pleasant Friday lunchtime in November. The pub had just opened with half a dozen or so punters arriving at the same time. The atmosphere was calm and convivial set to a relaxing Jazz soundtrack. The service was first class, the team on duty were welcoming and friendly. Although this pub is located in central London, it feels like you’re in a village inn in the middle of nowhere. While the pub is geared towards gastro punters, I would 100% recommend a visit to wet your whistle. History, ambience, a solid selection of beers, and warm, welcoming surroundings make for an immersive London pub experience. This is a must visit London pub.

Very nice restaurant with classic UK recipes : Rack of lamb was great and sticky toffee pudding too. The service was particularly attentive. Refined but cool atmosphere in line with the charming Hampstead vibe.

I’ve visited this pub on numerous occasions, and I’ve always appreciated the atmosphere and the warmth of the place. The team and the waiting staff do their best and have always been attentive. I’ve never had any complaints about how the menu was curated, until yesterday. This note is for whoever is responsible for the menu and the chef. If you want to make the menu more “gourmet”, you need to understand that quality is not synonymous with small portions. It means offering a reasonable portion that allows the diner to properly enjoy the dish. For example, if aubergine is presented as the main element in a starter, you cannot serve three tiny slices that disappear under the creams. That’s not style; it’s simply ridiculous. Another example: the mains were good. I ordered the lamb, which is served slightly pink, and it was excellent. We decided to give dessert a chance, but that was even more disappointing. We ordered strawberries and cream, and what we received was half a strawberry cut up and scattered on the plate. The composition didn’t work, and the flavours didn’t come together. A dessert, even if it has multiple elements, should feel cohesive -not like separate components on a plate. In short, there’s a lot to reconsider in that menu. For now, I would only recommend going for drinks.

Everything was really good, with friendly and attentive service throughout our visit. We tried the three-course lunch special this time, and it was excellent value for the quality of the food. I had the cheese empanada to start, followed by the rump steak, and finished with the dulce de leche pancakes: all cooked and presented perfectly. My partner had the minestrone, the salmon fish cake, and the sorbet trio, and every course was just as good. Overall, a great experience, delicious food, and great service. We’ll definitely return.

I would like to share my excellent experience at this restaurant. First of all, I want to highlight the waitress Yana — a true professional. The service was attentive, friendly, and at the same time unobtrusive. She knows the menu very well and helped me make a great choice. I would also like to thank the manager Hiba for her attention to detail and high level of organization — it’s clear that the team truly cares about their guests. I ordered a steak, which was cooked perfectly, exactly as requested. I also had wine, and their wine list is extensive and impressive, with great quality selections. Overall, the atmosphere, service, and food left only positive impressions. I will definitely come back again!

Amazing experience! Gazmend, our table host, was incredibly friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was very welcoming, and the food was excellent. We tried the lunch set menu and everything was delicious,especially the prawn chicharrons. I would definitely recommend it to everyone!

The food was exceptional, chose from the set menu, and it did not disappoint, excellent chef. ❤️. The place at lunchtime was quiet, clean, welcoming. A bit dark for my taste. Staff was nice, professional but maybe a bit more knowledge on the whisky would accentuate the experience. But great work and food

Have been going to Everyman for quite a long time and have always been treated well. It was my first time at the Everyman Hampstead and to my surprise it had a very vintage appeal. Well suited for such a historical site, and the lovely staff did not disappoint either. I was told my food was going to be slightly late due to a backlog of orders, which seemed quite honest. Even whilst waiting, they offered me a free drink and snack which couldn't have been more customer incentivised. Loved every single bit of it, and the best part is we didn't even come for a movie!

Recently came in and had an amazing experience! Was an hour early for the film so did some work in the gorgeous lounge, Lulu made me feel welcomed and recommend her favourite burger. It was amazing! The film was great, but the best part of the venue are the people that work there. Shoutout to lily also for taking orders just before the film started, was a lovely atmosphere !

The everyman cinemas around hamstead heath still have such a cosy and comfortable atmosphere, I am yet to be disappointed by everyman and their great service. I am lucky enough to be able to have been gifted an everyman membership, which has made for such great trips to the cinema, this location has stood up to those expectations. The snacks and popcorn were delightful, and we thoroughly enjoyed watching Project Hail Mary here. Notable mentions: Zaine provided wonderful service, and was cheerful and helpful. Would reccomend this cinema for a great experience :)

Love this cinema ! Always feels like such a treat. The staff are super helpful, welcoming and friendly and the service, great! There’s often ample opportunity to catch the films I want to. Big shout out to Rosie who found my bag I accidentally left behind, she put me at ease over the phone and kept it safe until I could come and pick it up - just representative of the care and community-feel of this cinema. Thank you!

My favorite Japanese restaurant in London. The food is nearly perfect in terms of seasoning and tastes incredibly fresh. My absolute favorite dish is the Maguro Natto, which I highly recommend. While the sushi set is delicious, I’d also suggest ordering à la carte to fully enjoy the menu. The only slight downside was the green tea, which felt a bit expensive at nearly £5 per cup and was not refillable. Walk-ins are possible, but making a reservation is highly recommended.

A proper hidden gem in Hampstead. Tucked away in one of the smaller streets, this Japanese restaurant is honestly a great find. It’s quite a small place (like most things in Hampstead), but they’ve really nailed the vibe — it feels like an intimate, high-quality Japanese spot you’d stumble across in Tokyo. They’ve got a full menu — sushi, sashimi, grilled skewers, hot mains, starters, sake… the works. Everything we had tasted proper authentic, and the quality of the food was spot on. The service was also lovely — even though the place was packed, the staff were super friendly and attentive. We managed to grab a table downstairs last minute and had a brilliant time. It’s definitely not the cheapest meal, but for the quality and authenticity, I think it’s well priced. One of the best Japanese spots I’ve been to in North London, no doubt. If you’re in the area and fancy a proper Japanese meal, this one’s 100% worth a visit.

We had a lovely dinner at Jin Kichi tonight! Eric was an absolute gem- what a great waiter! He was so sweet, attentive and friendly, and offered great recommendations. We felt really looked after by the staff- especially being a coeliac and vegan table! The food really impressed us- we had to opt for items without sauce due to coeliac requirements and the food was still delicious just dipped in GF soy sauce! The shiitake mushroom skewers were really well prepared, the sushi was all fresh and ingredient quality was top notch, and the menu was expansive with authentic ingredients and plenty of options, even for us! Superb food and service- will definitely be back🩷

Jin Kichi specialises in charcoal grilled yakitori and sushi & sashimi. The restaurant has two floors, with separate sushi and yakitori sections, plus bar counter and table seating. It’s busy at both lunch and dinner, so booking ahead is highly recommended. The atmosphere is excellent, very much like a traditional Japanese izakaya. Most of the staff are Japanese, and once you step inside, it genuinely feels like being in Japan. Sitting in the yakitori section is especially enjoyable, with the aroma of charcoal grilling filling the air. Sashimi Lunch Set A simple, classic set with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and sea bass. Very fresh and good quality, clearly one of their strengths. Tempura Lunch Set Includes three tempura prawns and assorted vegetables. Light, crispy batter and fresh ingredients, served with rice and miso soup. Generous and satisfying. Yakitori Grilled to order and best enjoyed at the bar where you can watch the chefs at work. The chicken wings were excellent, though there was a short wait. Sadly, the charcoal grilled chicken skin was already sold out at lunchtime, very popular. In hindsight, I should have ordered more yakitori and one less sashimi set. Prices are mid range, with good portions and quality to match. If you’re looking for authentic Japanese yakitori and sashimi in London, Jin Kichi is a solid choice and definitely worth visiting.

Good spot for Japanese fare - we liked the chirashi, the tuna and the salmon rolls, and the shrimp tempura. Only flag is that restaurant is quite small, so the tables are quite crammed.

We recently hosted a private lunch for a group of Hampstead professionals at Villa Bianca and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional, attentive, professional and genuinely welcoming throughout the event. Organising a group lunch can sometimes be challenging, but everything ran seamlessly and our guests were extremely well looked after. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was perfect for networking and conversation, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure the afternoon was a success. A huge thank you to the entire team for helping us host such an enjoyable and memorable event. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning again soon

The place is new to me but I was introduced to it by a friend who has known it for over 30 years. And this is some powerful testimony as to the quality of the experience. We enjoyed a late lunch. The food was great. The service was efficient and most friendly. The interior is charming. I'm fully set on returning at the earliest opportunity and confidently introducing my other friends to VB.

An absolutely lovely visit to Villa Bianca Hamstead today for an early supper. Very delicious food, live piano music was absolutely amazing, great atmosphere and service. Special thanks to Agon the manager, his warm professional and genuine care made us feel truly welcomed. And thanks to Giuseppe for his great food recommendations and smiling service and hospitality. We’ll definately be back very soon.

La Villa Bianca in Hampstead is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly elegant. The food is outstanding — beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly made with real care and quality ingredients. Every dish we had was spot on. A special thank you to Agon, the manager, who went above and beyond to make the experience exceptional. Attentive, professional, and genuinely hospitable — service like that makes all the difference. Highly recommend La Villa Bianca for anyone looking for top-tier Italian food and flawless service in Hampstead. Will definitely be returning.

Had a wonderful experience at Dim T, Hampstead. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. A special mention to Magda, whose service truly made the experience exceptional. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional, making us feel genuinely welcome throughout. Her kindness and attention to detail really stood out. Highly recommend Dim T Hampstead — and if you’re lucky enough to be looked after by Magda, you’re in excellent hands. 💛

I recently popped in for a meal and had a fantastic time! The service was spot on – the team greeted us warmly and checked in on our experience throughout the meal, which made a real difference. I loved the seafood laksa and bibimbap chicken, both were top-notch and great value for money. The atmosphere was comfy, and the cleanliness was impressive. Overall, a lovely dining experience I’d definitely recommend!
Richard Powell - 6 months ago

We were late arriving at this restaurant due to a late arrival for our weekend away in London. It appealed as we love Asian food and it seemed reasonably priced. We were told clearly on arrival that the restaurant closed at 9.30pm (it was 8.45 at that point). Lovely service and very good food. Homemade dim sum was delicious. Our daughter's seabass was very tasty as was my seared tuna salad, though the tuna was only slightly overcooked. Would definitely revisit.

I've just had an outstanding meal at my go-to spot! The food and drinks were top-notch, and the atmosphere was spot on. Karem, our server, was brilliant—he really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. It's also nice to see a manager on the floor, keeping things running smoothly. Can't wait to come back for another amazing experience!

I had another great family meal here! The food was top-notch, especially the Chow Mein and Bibimbap chicken – packed with flavour and generous portions. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and the service was friendly from start to finish. I really appreciate little touches like the prawn crackers offered at the beginning. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a good night out!

The first thing you should know is: carrot cake. Now let's go on. Ginger & White is one of my favorite spots in London. Situated in Hampstead, it can be crowded and sometimes you'll have to wait, but I promise it's worth it. Where should I begin?? The service is helpful and kind, the place is a bit small but feels like a home away from home, and the wonderful food, such as the carrot cake (seriously, this cake is SO good!), the french toast, various eggs options, sourdough toasts (wtih avocado, with eggs, with both), granola bowels, and on the last day I discovered the apple bun which is amazing (if you're like me and think raisins are a scam, order it and you will thank me later! No raisins in this bun!). I can't recommend this place enough, I love everything about it. And fun fact: there's mech for this place you can buy, especially the little egg cosies which are the sweetest thing I ever saw in a coffee place: https://www.gingerandwhite.com/collections/merchandise

Coffee is great, but the scrambled egg felt slightly drier than I expect. Ambience is good, not too crowded from a weekday morning. Really lovely morning if you visit during spring. There is a takeaway shop diagonally across the dine in shop.

As Monsieur Le Compte, I find that true luxury often lies in simplicity done perfectly. Ginger & White in Hampstead is a testament to this. The coffee is exceptional—rich, aromatic, and prepared with the precision one expects from a top-tier establishment. For brunch, I opted for the eggs, which were cooked to perfection, flavorful and beautifully presented. The staff here deserves a special mention; they are consistently polite and attentive, adding a warm, personal touch to the refined atmosphere of the village. Whether you are a local or just passing through this charming corner of London, this is a spot that never disappoints. A truly delightful experience.
Monsieur Le Compte - 2 months ago

Cute vibes, great customer service. Pistachio croissant I’ll rate 8/10 (pistachio cream in middle very yummy but parts of croissant edge i was hoping for a bit more of the pistachio to come through) Coffee I thought was a bit sour £10.07 for the both

Went here twice on my recent stay in the area. The coffee wasn’t bad but there was better coffee nearby. Service was efficient, food was excellent. I had the house made baked beans one day and a toasty. The other. The toasty was good but the baked beans were excellent. It does get quite busy.

The Asian staff service was good but after having this, I felt nauseous. Normally I don’t have bread or butter. But this is the first time to feel so. And tea was bad…

Small Gail's branch on the high street at Hampstead. Great variety of cakes. Good cappuccino. Several covers inside but majority of seating outside.

I have different ways of telling people how old I am. And one of the ways is to say that I remember when there was only one Gail’s bakery (and one Pret A Manger and one Leon for that matter). Nowadays, they’re sprouting up everywhere, even out of London I was in the area at the weekend and visited Gail’s bakery in Hampstead which is where it all started. The mothership. These days, most of us are familiar with Gail’s offerings from their many outlets and the original shop had the usual selection. There wasn’t much seating, so I got my pastry to go Great to visit a bit of culinary history

brilliant and super authentic japanese food, the mackerel onigiri is my favorite and the prices reflect the skill of the chefs snd the fact that it isn't a superexploitative chain like some stores nearby!!!

Visited Sushi Hana while looking to pick up some food for my mum while she's at hospital. It's small and tucked away behind Hampstead underground station, just off the high street. They have a large menu for both takeaway and eat in, and a fridge of ready-made sushi. I picked a couple from there and also ordered a few more rolls + chicken udon for takeaway. The sushi are all handmade by chefs right in front of you, so you know it's fresh. The ones that were made to order were very nice, while the ones from the fridge were a bit more stale but still nice. The chicken udon was pretty tasty, chewy noodles and juicy chicken. They also offer different options for dietary requirements, and have lots of drinks and desserts available too. The service was quick and staff were nice and friendly. It is a bit pricey (spent £50 total) and I'd definitely recommend ordering fresh rather than picking from the fridge. But all in all, a decent meal.
Claire Chen - 11 months ago

Very overpriced for what you’re getting. Quality of fish isn’t of good standard. I don’t know how anyone calls it authentic when there’s mayonnaise on sushi rolls. Service seems forced - had to ask for spoons, then sharing bowls, then plates, then shoyu, then water. They also turned the AC off in 30 degrees weather whilst diners were still having their lunch.

Really delightful and authentic sushi in the hearts of Hampstead, just a minute walk from the station! The ingredients are super fresh and seared salmon belly & seared scallop are very delicious. The miso soup is great too! Easily one of the best Japanese food in London :) Brown rice version is available as well - really healthy!
Yiting Fan - 2 years ago

I'm a vegetarian, so feel free to take my opinion with a pinch of salt, but I loved the lunch I had at this place, with my daughter. It's quite small (perhaps about 12 stools inside and a couple of tables outside) and all the staff are Japanese, so it really reminded us of being in places like this in Japan. The "vegetable set" was full of wonderfully fresh, clean flavours. Simply but very aesthetically presented. Which, to me, is very Japanese. From the way the rice is cooked to the sublime umami of the miso soup and the ethereal charm of the tamago nigiri you can tell they really know what they're doing. A huge step up in quality from chain sushi places, without being a massive increase in price - especially when you consider the very chic location in Hampstead.

Even though I was eating in, they still offered the same 4” x 3” bowl. However it was not suitable for all dishes. For example they put my Katsu Chicken curry rice into that small bowl, and as a result, all the sauce , rice and beans were mixed together, making the rice very wet. I really don’t like eating rice that was soaked completely in sauce. If they offered a plate or a shallow but wider bowl instead, and separated the chicken, rice, beans and sauce, then at least I could have chosen how much sauce and when to mix them with rice to suit my taste. Also, I ordered the detox miso noodle soup. The “signature” dumplings fell apart as soon as I used the chopsticks to take them away. They were overcooked.
Franklen C. - 2 months ago

I would like to understand the rules regarding the “half-hour price.” Are the gyoza and bun boxes included? Today, my friends and I had a disappointing experience (and unfortunately, not for the first time). We had to specifically ask for the gyoza box, as it was not available to customers and was kept out of reach on the counter unless requested. We also clearly saw more salmon options behind the counter. When we asked about them, we were told they were not available as well. In our past experiences at other locations, we always had access to all the available options. Is there a different way of applying the half-hour deal at the Hampstead branch?
