The Vine in Hampstead

We hosted a pub quiz here on Tuesday and had the BEST time. The Vine were so great at replying to emails and helping with admin in the leadup.

Thank you so much to The Vine and to all its wonderful, helpful, friendly staff members. We hired the Highgate Room for a meeting + for lunch + early evening drinks and it was... incredible! The food was delicious and brilliantly presented. The room and the wider pub decor was beautiful. The service was exceptional. Couldn't recommend them highly enough :)

🚇 Kentish Town 🍺 £6.80 Estrella Galicia The Vine is located on the border between Kentish Town and Gospel Oak in Northwest London. The nearest Tube is Kentish Town. Just up the road is Little Green Street, one of the few intact Georgian streets in London. This pub has a history dating back to 1836, the pub you see today was built in the Edwardian era between 1901 to 1910. This pub is part of Greene King’s Metropolitan pub company stable of pubs. The is a deceptively large pub that has a contemporary feel with some nice traditional touches. As you enter the pub you arrive into the main bar area which has a good sized servery. The decor consists of a boarded floor, exposed brick walls, a Dunville’s mirror and a mix of seating. To left of the servery, through an arch, takes you into a sizeable dining area with an atrium above. To the side of the dining area is a raised section with two shuffleboard tables. At the front of the pub is an attractive front patio garden. The beer selection was pretty decent and offered a choice of local London brews, one cask ale and some familiar keg favourites. I decided on an Estrella Galicia, my pint was spot on, price point was punchy. There is a classic pub grub menu available, Fish & Chips costs £18.50, roasts are available on a Sunday. We arrived around 5pm on a pleasant Saturday afternoon in May. The main bar had a dozen or so punters in, most punters were lapping up the sunshine out the front. There was a nice convivial atmosphere around the pub as we supped our pints and watched a bit of the Fury V Usyk build up with a soulful house soundtrack playing in the background. The service was good, the team member who served us although rushed off her feet was welcoming and courteous. Visiting @thevinenw5 was a pleasant pub experience, this pub is well worth a look if you’re in the area. 📅 18th May 2025 More London Pub info @londonpubmap 🍻

We visited for Sunday lunch, sadly would not be returning. Food was mostly nice although the roast lamb was very tough and the mushroom strudels came out cold! Service was very bad, friendly but absolutely glacial. We even had to wait 20 minutes for the bill even though we asked 4 times.

A great pub set back from the main road with an outside terrace/garden area. Perfect for a sunny day. Deceptively spacious inside pub with a large dining and games area round the back. We visited around 1.30pm so the pub was pretty quiet which suited us after several hours walking in nearby Hampstead Heath. Food was excellent and friendly service. Would definitely come back again if in the area
