after a nice weekend walk around hampstead, london curry blog and i really fancied a good game of scrabble and a few nibbles. the wells has a good pub vibe and was fairly busy on a saturday afternoon... clearly all the cool folks of north london are hanging out playing board games too. our snacks of olives and almonds were decent and the food other people nearby ordered looked pretty good, but being in hampstead you're looking at an expensive afternoon if you settle here for a few hours.
michael was on top form and won at scrabble this time, so i'll probably be back at the wells for a rematch some time!

a nice lunch in hampstead, just an 8 mins walk away from hampstead heath. the location is picturesque with the old brick buildings around. great feature that it has a terrace for a nice hot summers day. recommend it for sunday lunch.

went for a lovely stroll with sarah m around hampstead and were in search of a pub with scrabble to amuse ourselves in. the wells duly obliged and we also sampled the greek olives and salted almonds on our visit. the rest of the food looked good and the all round quaint setting made it a lovely saturday lunchtime in the city.
ps. i won the scrabble ;)

very straightforward and good food but won't blow you away. cozy ambiance and options of the more relaxed (no reservations) downstairs versus the more formal upstairs, a good option in hampstead.

there are two pubs next to hampstead heath which are the perfect places to go for drinks and dinner after a long afternoon walk: the old white bear and the wells. the wells is slightly the lesser of the two, but that speaks more about the excellence of these two places than any deficiency in the wells. the atmosphere is wonderful (most weekday evenings its comparatively quiet too) and the food is out of this world. the range of ales and lagers isn't the best, but is adequate, and can't detract from the great dishes on offer. on mondays they also offer byob with dinner - a great option to save some money and enjoy the great food.

worth the trip. good food.. this old hanpstead gastro pub has a loyal following of regulars in this affluent area. the management is on the ball, attentive and friendly. athmosphere makes it easy to chat and talk., menu has all the choices, well cooked and presented. look at online menu. we prefer to eat downstairs. its a value for money place.. also easy to hang out here and just read the papers on the sofa or on the terrace. .dogs ok at the bar.

and what a thoroughly satisfying dish. the lamb was well-cooked; nicely tender and pink and generous in proportion. the jus was delicious – very bold and wine-drenched and thick too. carrot puree and green beans gave the dish a sunday lunch worthiness, it all felt very w

top notch food and atmosphere in a place where it's all too easy to spin out a meal all evening if you have a table. friendly service upstairs and down and ideal for special occasions.

quickly now, what comes to your mind when you hear the words french cuisine? for me, fine dining, regional, and an assortment of french translations for common ingredients that are clearly the fading remnants of my eight plus years of childhood education
