The Spaniards Inn is a historic pub on the edge of Hampstead Heath, housed in a Grade II listed building that the venue dates to 1585. Its timbered rooms, open fires, secluded corners and large garden create the feeling of a country inn despite its London location.
The pub’s long story is closely connected with Hampstead folklore and literary history. Its official account links the inn with Charles Dickens and John Keats, while stories about highwayman Dick Turpin add another layer of character to a visit.
The menu balances traditional pub cooking with seasonal dishes such as handmade Scotch egg, fish and chips, beef brisket pie, seafood, salads and vegetable plates. Sandwiches and smaller dishes suit a relaxed lunch, while puddings and British cheeses offer a familiar finish.
Sunday roasts are a major attraction, with meat and plant based choices served alongside roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Cask ales, craft beer, wine and spirits complement the food, making the inn equally suitable for a meal after walking on the heath or a leisurely drink in the garden.
Address: Spaniards Road, Hampstead, London NW3 7JJ, United Kingdom
