Lovely location which unfortunately means parking can be very difficult. We risked a parking ticket and got away with it.
Inside was cramped and very noisy. Difficult to walk through and the staff were not accomodating so we moved outside.
The vegetarian options were limited to stuffed peppers or a mushroom burger which is nothing to get excited. The food itself wasn't bad but it didn't feel like anything special.
Some of the staff were unqualified to take drink requests or even to fetch someone who was qualified.
Dessert was pretty good however so if you want to skip the main There's an option there.
Came in for a drink but changed our minds and got tea - no problem at all even though it wasn't on the menu. The bathrooms were tidy.
Had a pint of lager, the staff was nice and weather was great!
After a long walk on the Heath on a sunnier than usual afternoon we fancied a Beavertown Neckoil to slake the thirst while we studied the menu. This was our first meal out and visit to the Wells since lockdown and we were not disappointed. To start we had a salad of Granny Smith with blue cheese, rocket, endive and walnuts; and smoked salmon with rosti and spinach topped with a poached egg. For mains we had the duck confit with pureed swede, spinach and dauphinoise potatoes. To accompany our meal we drank a bottle of French merlot. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The staff were attentive and friendly. In terms of safety it is reassuring that there is a one way system, hand sanitiser, tables are well spaced and contact details are taken in case someone is diagnosed with covid-19
Comilona total ..
Good but carillo
Only went in for a quick one. Looked ok but needs a further visit to confirm.
Bland food, crisps & drinks. The upmarket exterior is not matched by the offers inside.
Such a shame about the poor service at my friend s lunch at this venue. Staff were really pushy and not understanding about late arrivals, which put a lot of unnecessary stress on friend trying to enjoy her Birthday. Also not impressed by the only vegan options given to me.
Gorgeous food in a lovely setting with a great atmosphere, situated in what for me is the best part of London. Fairly reasonable prices for some truly excellent food. Very highly recommended.
Great ambience, good atmosphere, child friendly. No reservations but people were queuing before open... Great place especially on a sunny day
Excellent beer, good food, efficient service and good for families.
Great place. What makes this place is the service and the food. Both equally amazing and superb!
Amazing idyllic pub set in the middle of a historic residental Hampstead area
Stunning venue with contemporary interior and facilities. Some of the finest food I've eaten in London. If you are planning a meal for two here, expect to empty your bank account though.
I must say, The Wells is a special place. If you are staying in central London it's nestled about 4 miles up the northbound line. I highly recommend you load up your oyster card and jump on the tube to eat and drink here. You can take a stroll in the park, look at the skyline of London, and stop here for a bite to eat and a few drinks. Food was rich with flavor and delicious. Drink were perfect for a summer day. Some of the best food I've had here yet. I'm very happy we stopped here, sat outside, and enjoyed this part of the city. The Wells will be on my go stop at list when I return.
Nice setting and friendly. Great starters but the roast dinner was a little average. Roast potatoes not that crispy, vegetables sparse and a couple of Yorkshire's and maybe some stuffing would have boosted it a bit.
Really lovely gastro pub. Wonderful service. The menu needs adjusting. Same dishes on offer each time for dinner. But the food is great nonetheless.
For once, food that is worth eating, Well-presented, in a civilised setting and style.
Generally good for dinner. Taps were broken when I went (no beer!) and they don't take American Express!
Lovely setting away from the high street - worth the walk up to see the local streets and houses alone. The servings were generous - we tried the burgers, sea bass and apple and rhubarb crumble with vanilla ice cream. The crumble was large enough to share between four!
Absolutely loved it! Definitely will be back. The okonomiyaki sauce barbecue short rib was my favourite.. such an ingenious dish! Sticky toffee pudding dessert was probably the best I ve had to date.
Food consistently good. Can reserve upstairs not downstairs but - Doggy food and water also available and same human ('modern British') food as at reservable tables. Occasional interesting local artistic/musical celebrities.
Great pub with outside seating in summer. Great food as well
Went to The Wells for dinner, but thought I'd get a drink at the bar first. It was a Friday evening the bar was small and very busy. The bar staff were preparing drinks for the restaurant and dinner tables downstairs, this seemed to take priority over those wanting a drink at the bar. So don't try for a quick drink at the bar on a Friday evening! When our friends arrived I gave up on waiting at the bar and went to our table in the upstairs restaurant, this was very pleasent and did not feel cramped.
Should have done this on arrival! The staff were immediately attentive and took drinks orders.
Menu is very sensible with some interesting elements. I went for the Chateau Briand (for two) it was truly excellent cooked to perfection. Side dishes were also very tasty. Each portion was just enough.
The staff were not pushy and at no time did we feel rushed. We will be going back. It is important to book.
Pretty insane and lightly unsatisfactory yet irresistible, a beautiful mix of absolute vile tastings and absolutely unbelievable food. The taste of the crushed bugs were in my mouth all week. Would recommend, yet if you were thinking of going I would advise against it.
A fantastic pub! Hugo was incredibly professional, welcoming and dare I say, humourous!
We will be back for more skinny drinks on the terrace.
Myself and a few friends were looking for Sunday roast options in Hampstead on a sunny day, with Google suggesting the Wells which had glowing reviews. We waited outside for 20 minutes or so until the doors opened at midday, which was More
It is undoubtedly one of the most pleasant places to eat or drink in Hampsted. The atmosphere is elegant and cozy, very clean, well decorated, the music is very good and the attention is also great. Worth a visit!
A pub with excellent food and attentive service and a pleasant atmosphere
Ridiculously amazing veggie burger and mussels were huge. Fries cripy, even the dog had some . Would highly recommend. Great service too.
Thanks.
Not really a pub, much more a restaurant, but you can just about perch and have a pint at the bar. Clientele mostly the chattering classes of Hampstead.
Place look nice, but staff cares only about profit, but not about people
Great place for Sunday lunch but you must be there early to get a place
Delightful gastro pub slightly uphill and off the main roads with lovely views and vibes. The pub staff is very welcoming, to the point and friendly. The food and service was good especially after a long walk on the heath. I would definitely recommend this pub for after walks drinks and or food!
Ostentatious tavern located in a charming "town" in London. It has a good terrace
Great food, the dining room is lovely. Good wine selection and comfortable atmosphere for our small group of friends. Will be back!
Always a nice place to enjoy a glass of wine on the couch, and we recommend the duck. Attention service too!
Food is exceptional, but the interior is deceptive insofar as it's a little run down and cheap compared to how beautiful the pub is positioned and appears from the outside.
Went here with my girlfriend for last night before she goes away. Good service and good menu. Enjoyed food and Good atmosphere . Place was busy for a Tuesday night so gather it's popular
Cozy wee pub with great food . Really good for a pint and sum food
So far the best Sunday Roast in London! The Wells is my favourite pub in London to go for lunch or dinner. It is located near to Hampstead Park and the Menu is amazing!!! Don t miss out to try the desserts as well, they have all the British favourite desserts homemade and also my favourite the Pavlova Mango & Passion Fruit!!!
The best gastro-pub in Hampstead. Michelin level food in a friendly atmosphere...
Top-notch food, friendly attentive service, relaxed pub vibe
Amazing. Unexpectedly good. Great service. Priced reasonably. Sat in the restaurant. Ordered the duck and it was brilliantly cooked, not a hint of dryness and perfect texture. Deserts were all excellent and the Rhone wine was top drawer for the second cheapest on the menu. Negatives? Service wasn't especially fast but it just meant we had more time to enjoy the restaurant and its a moot point considering how friendly and accommodating our waitress was.
The food is good, but simple. slightly overpriced. Great place for drinks. excellent ambiance near Heath.
Popped in on New Years Day after a walk on Hampstead Heath. Busy, but warm welcome and worth the wait for some lovely food.
Generally good for dinner. Taps were broken when I went (no beer!) and they don't take American Express!
I am glad to see that they are opening at 10:00 now.
Very pleasant place for an informal meal. Good food.
The food and drinks are always excellent. Great atmosphere, and usually packed.
Top spot post walk in the heath for delicious food and lovely atmosphere.
This is a great pub. Not cheap but good food, great service and a beautiful location
Very nice, after a walk in Hampstead heath is the perfect stop for a pint. Unfortunately is super busy so if you want to eat better book in advance, for Sundays probably you need to book on Thursday or earlier. Personnel are quite friendly and helpful. Beer selection is actually good too.
Stylish environment and friendly service, the food is good. Thus is a high end gastro pub. It is also very dog friendly.
Great place to grab a drink in a really charming neighborhood.
Went here for a meal after a leisurely walk on the Heath with our friends. We were made to feel quite unwelcome and then enjoyed very rude service during our 3 course meal. They didn't even say thank you when we paid our bill or left, which I find astounding and incredibly rude. It's the first time I have ever felt like I wasn't good enough to eat anywhere. Will avoid this place in future unless I want a side order of snobbery with my dinner.
Excellent customer service and great location.
Thank you.
Great if you like dry Sunday roast, also had to ask for a Yorkshire pudding to have with the roast. When it came it was like stale bread. Then when the bill came was offered 10% off. Waitresses seemed to take the feedback personally. Not like it was back on 2008.
Worst customer service I ever received. I wasted a Sunday afternoon
The best pub in Hampstead, and nicely tucked away so that it's not too busy.
An oasis after a morning of walking on the heath, as well as being a fantastic destination for dinner. The Wells really has limited competition for food in Hampstead, but it is certainly the best place for it.
Surprisingly reasonable drinks prices, too
Great pub, really nice atmosphere and v dog friendly
Great pub and restaurant. Also perfect if you're with your dog as they are allowed on the ground floor. Good idea to book if you want to eat as it's often busy.
Good food and atmosphere, but the beer on tap is always diluted. Buy bottled beer
Really excellent pan-fried seabass with fennel, chorizo, greens, red pepper and sauce vierge - and that from a dedicated carnivore! Nicely full and satisfied. Best to get a seated table rather than couch&table though. Will definitely be back.
Busy and bustling. Everyone has come in for Sunday lunch and appear to be enjoying themselves. Good beer and attentive staff, worth a visit.

Great Sunday lunch. This is Fay Maschler (Evening Standard food critic of many years standing) sisters place. Get a seat upstairs, and get comfy, prepare for a good couple of hours of pure culinary pleasure.
