The Wells is a food led neighbourhood pub at 30 Well Walk in Hampstead. Restored from a run down pub into a Georgian style destination, it combines an informal ground floor bar with three individually decorated dining rooms upstairs and a covered terrace for outdoor meals.
The menus are seasonal and designed to be inventive without becoming inaccessible. Familiar comforts sit alongside more considered restaurant dishes, allowing the kitchen to serve a casual lunch downstairs, a complete dinner upstairs or a traditional Sunday meal with equal confidence.
Private dining rooms accommodate small gatherings, while the first floor provides a quieter setting than the sofas, bare tables, fireplace and board games of the main bar. Walk-in tables are kept available, and the pub serves lunch and dinner every day with different kitchen hours through the week.
As a free house, The Wells can offer a broad selection of beer alongside a carefully chosen wine list and a changing cocktail special. Menus respond to the season, so guests with allergies or dietary requirements should check the current dishes and discuss preparation with the team before ordering.
