Wells Tavern Review

Fun night ... Great service food is ok not amazing but still its a gastro pub and as such the menu is not bad at all ...

Sunday Roast here is a hack job. Go to The Flask instead if you value quality.

An old favourite that's now become a gastro pub - but they do have good guest beers.

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

Looks like a lovely pub with excellent food on the edge of the heath and doggy friendly. Service on the other hand is terrible. We put ourselves on the waiting list for a table, waited the agreed 40 minutes, came back after half an hour and were told we no longer had our space and we were at the back of the queue again. Dishonest, unfair, rude, avoid.

Perfect place for a well-deserved coffee, drink and/or meal after a walk on the Heath! Friendly staff, yummie food. Grab a table outside when the sun's out and watch the world go by. You might even spot a celeb in the wild!

love this place. great atmosphere. great food. lovely staff

Expensive but top quality food very relaxed friendly service

I ve been going here for over 10 years, in my opinion one of the best places to eat in Hampstead (very little competition however). Seasonal British food well executed. Feels more like a restaurant that a traditional pub, if it s a pub to brink you re looking for probably better to try somewhere else (although on a hot day the few benches outside are very nice). Request the dining room upstairs to eat, downstairs can get fairly loud.

Superb restaurant: the food, service, decor location and TOTALLY DOG friendly too

Had a great night there, had dinner, didn't dissapoint in any way.

Smart but welcoming ambience. Helpful staff. Tasty and emo presented food. A bit pricey with 12.5% service charge.

Visited here with friends for a group lunch. The place gets busy so book ahead to guarantee a table. The food was lovely, drinks list extensive and dessert was spot on. Highly recommended, though a little on the more expensive side.

This place is really a restaurant - don't think there is sufficient non-dining seating for it to even be called a gastropub. The inside is not sympathetic to the wonderful Georgian exterior. Feels a little tired. It was heavily staffed but none of them seemed a particularly happy and welcoming bunch of campers - gut instinct it could be down to bad management. Service was not particularly efficient - had to repeat our order several times. We had a Bloody Mary which was excellent and a great pint of Crate pale ale. We ordered a side of chips and some olives which were excellent - best portion of chips I've had for a long time! I understand the food is good and, the slightly iffy/frosty service aside, I would return.

Jan 2020 - to update my slightly snippy review from 2 year ago! and to add a star. Popped in today and again was served with 2 good bloody Mary's. The bar staff seemed a far more cheery bunch and service was efficient. The place was bustling. Couldn't get a portion of chips as the kitchen was closed but do think I need to return to dine here sometime soon.

Don't know the food, but this is a great pub in Hampstead for locals. Lots of space to sit outside on nice days.

Excellent food. Comfortable couches. Friendly service.

Great food, beer and service in a lovely pub close to the heath. Lovely stuff!

One of our favourite pubs in Hampstead. Been a while since we last ate here and we're all the more impressed with the quality of the food. Service was friendly and quick. Happy customers.

Nice neighbourhood pub with putside area, TV, good food and drinks. Pleasant people
