About This Pub

Ah, The Roebuck in Hampstead is one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, tucked away near Hampstead Heath and handy for a post-walk pit stop. I've got to say, the atmosphere is spot on – it's all about that country-style charm with smiley staff who make you feel like you're chatting with old mates from the get-go. The food really shines, especially their Sunday roasts; I've heard from a few folks that the pork belly and chicken are absolute winners with generous portions and bags of flavour, using top-notch local ingredients. Pair that with a pint in their spacious, heated garden, and you've got a cracking spot for whiling away an afternoon. On the flip side, it's not all perfect – one time, someone mentioned the beef roast was a tad chewy and underwhelming, and let's face it, prices can sting a bit in this part of London, so it's worth keeping an eye on the bill if you're on a budget. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for anyone wanting a relaxed pub experience; just pop in early on busy days to avoid the crowds, and you'll likely have a brilliant time.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • The food is a real highlight, with delicious Sunday roasts and pub classics that hit the spot – think big portions and flavours that keep you coming back.
  • It's got a fantastic beer garden, perfect for soaking up the summer vibes or enjoying a cosy heated spot in cooler weather.
  • Dog-friendly and family-oriented, it's a great place to pop in with your furry friend or catch up with mates in a relaxed setting.
  • A wide selection of drinks, including cask beers and whiskies, pairs brilliantly with the menu and adds to the traditional British pub charm.
Cons
  • Some dishes can be hit or miss, like the beef in the Sunday roast being a bit thin and chewy at times, which might disappoint if you're after perfection.
  • Prices are on the moderate side for London, but they can add up quickly, especially if you're treating yourself to a full meal and drinks.
  • It gets pretty busy, particularly on weekends, so you might need to book ahead or arrive early to snag a table without any hassle.

Sunday afternoon went and had a Sunday Roast with a pint of beer. Cost about $67 Australian dollars - the Aussie dollar not great at the moment. Beef in the Sunday roast very thin and chewy. Otherwise food average. Great beer garden out the back and spacious pub. Good environment for family / friends /partner. Enjoyed - probably wouldn’t get the beef Sunday roast.

Busy pub in front of the Royal Free hospital with varied clientele - families, friends, couples. Service is friendly and efficient. I had bangers and mash and it was so good, I didn't want my meal to end. Sausages and gravy were full of flavour, mash was creamy and smooth, and the caremelised onions - well I could eat that every day Friends all enjoyed their meals. I think the burgers were another stand out meal. Recommend!

Fantastic Sunday roast. Best pork crackling I think I have ever had, and a tasty piece of pork. My wife had the chicken which I tried and it was equally delicious. Dog friendly too. Worth getting here early on a weekend as they can generally find you a table even though they were pretty fully booked.

A nice spacious pub situated opposite the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead. They had 4 cask beers so I opted for a Youngs original at £5.65, quite reasonable for the area. They also had a selection of around 20 whiskies. They have a nice, quite large, heated garden area. They offer food, mainly typical pub grub but with some items that are different e.g. stuffed sardine starter at £8.50 and a roated squash gnocchi main at £16. They had a good choice of wines with prices for a bottle starting at £24.50. I was here at midday on a Tuesday so it was rather quiet. The service was friendly. In summary a nice pub, worth a visit if you are in the area.
