Oh, Alice House is one of those places that just feels like a proper local gem in West Hampstead – you know, the kind where you can pop in for a quick coffee during the day or settle in for a full evening with mates. I've got to say, the Sunday roasts are a real highlight; they're hearty, well-seasoned, and just what you need after a long week, making it a go-to for family gatherings or a casual Sunday treat. The staff are genuinely lovely, always smiling and making sure everything runs smoothly, which adds to that welcoming neighbourhood feel. Plus, if you're into drinks, they've got a cracking range of independent beers, wines, and cocktails that pair brilliantly with the food. It's dog-friendly too, which is brilliant for those of us who like to bring the pup along. On the flip side, it's not perfect – I've heard tales of food not always coming out just right, like overcooked bits or the odd temperature issue, and one or two folks have had experiences that were downright disappointing. Still, with its cosy sofas and outdoor spots, it's a solid choice for a relaxed pint or a bite, as long as you keep expectations balanced and maybe book ahead for busier times. All in all, it's worth a visit for that community spirit, but go in with an open mind and you'll likely have a cracking time.
