The Garden Gate is a pub and restaurant at 14 South End Road in Hampstead. It is best known for a large beer garden that gives the venue a strong outdoor identity, while the interior retains the comfortable character of a neighbourhood London pub. The kitchen serves lunch, brunch, dinner and Sunday roasts throughout the week.
Seasonal pub cooking provides the foundation, ranging from sandwiches and small plates to substantial main courses. Lunch choices include a steak sandwich, chicken and bacon on sourdough, a vegan rainbow club and battered cod goujons, each served with fries or salad. Halloumi fries and salads can be added for sharing or a lighter visit.
Sunday brings roasts with Yorkshire puddings, thyme roasted potatoes, root vegetables and gravy, alongside snacks, main courses, sides and desserts. Vegetarian and vegan filters help diners identify relevant dishes on the current online menu. Because recipes change and the kitchen handles the major allergens, guests with allergies should use the live guide and speak with staff before ordering.
Beer, wine, spirits and alcohol free drinks make the Garden Gate equally useful for a casual drink or a complete meal. Families are welcome, and the garden gives groups room to settle in during good weather. The combination of fresh pub food, a broad drinks selection and an unusually generous outdoor space makes it a distinctive Hampstead local.
