Emily and Sergio were so friendly and chatty, really made us feel welcome. The music was just right, not too loud. A lovely spot for a relaxed dinner.

A really nice spot for a drink with your dog. The staff were so friendly and even brought water for mine.

The wine list is really something, mostly French. I was impressed by the range of options. The food was lovely, classic French dishes. I appreciated the fresh, quality ingredients in my coq au vin.

The Mexican Benedict was fantastic. As a vegetarian, I was pleased to see so many thoughtful plant-based options clearly marked on the menu.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. The Caesar salad was fresh and the burger was cooked just right. Portions were generous for the price, which is always a plus. Staff were friendly too.

Been coming here for years, and the owner always remembers my usual order. That kind of consistency is what keeps me coming back. Ted the pub dog is a nice touch too.

Upstairs dining area is a quiet break from the pub downstairs. The shrimp cocktail starter portion was very generous. Staff were efficient, but the upselling attempts were noticeable. Main course pie crust was on the dry side.

The Iberico pork was so tender, and the lamb skewers had a lovely char. But the real star was the shellfish &ndash; cooked just right. Their wine list had a nice Spanish red that paired beautifully with the pork. A solid spot for authentic flavours.

The fish and chips were spot on. The batter was crisp, not greasy, and the chips had that proper fluffy inside. The mushy peas were a bit too thick for my liking, but the fish itself was perfect. That&#39;s what I come for.

Had a Sunday roast here with my mates. The beef was spot on, really tender. Veggies were nice too. The sticky toffee pudding was the star though, so good for sharing. A proper cosy pub for a chilled catch-up.

Popped in for a light lunch. The food was quick and tasty. Their house white was a surprisingly good match for the simple salad and cured meats. Crisp and dry, just right. A solid spot for a casual bite with a decent glass of wine.

The live band on Saturday was spot on. Really added to the vibe, made it a proper night out. Pub&#39;s got a good, lively feel to it.

The three-course deal is such good value! Perfect for a catch-up with friends, we had a great time in the outside area.

I love that they rotate their seasonal beers on tap. It&#39;s nice to have a fresh, new option to try each time I visit. The selection feels really thoughtful.

The staff were really careful with my allergy, double-checked everything. Felt safe eating here.

Lovely garden out back with covered seating, perfect for a drizzly evening. The Mediterranean twist on the menu was a nice surprise. Staff were really friendly too. A solid spot near the station.

Lovely spot. The staff were really attentive and knew their wine list inside out, which made choosing a pairing easy.

The beer selection is fantastic. Seven cask ales on tap, including a black IPA, and the prices are really good.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s dead handy being right between the two stations. The main room&#39;s fine, but I usually head to that little extra building out back - feels a bit more cosy. Decent spot for a quiet pint.

Popped in on a Monday for the half-price food deal. Got the fish and chips. Crispy batter, decent portion for the price. Beer was cold, taps looked good. Solid spot for a cheap bite.

Cosy spot, clean and well-kept. The real highlight was their rotating craft beer selection - the porter I tried was a great match for the relaxed, welcoming vibe. Perfect for a quiet pint after a walk on the hill.

Loved the hand-pumped ales here, a really nice selection. The space inside is great too, loads of room to just stand with a pint and chat. Food menu looked decent, though I just stuck to the beers this time.

The jerk chicken was huge and really juicy, which was a nice surprise. I also noticed they had a decent selection of non-alcoholic options, which is always a plus for me. The space itself felt a bit cramped though, especially when it got busy.

Dasha was a great server, really knew the menu. The steak was cooked just right, juicy and tender. Drinks came out fast, which was nice. Good spot for a relaxed dinner.

Love the vibe here, so much character. Spent ages checking out the walls. The music was spot on, really set the mood. Had a great local IPA that went perfectly with the whole experience.

Popped in for the Sunday roast. The lamb was spot on, really flavourful. Yorkshire pudding was great too. Probably the best one I&#39;ve had around Primrose Hill.

Eric at the bar was a star! He kept checking on our group, making sure our drinks were topped up without us even asking. It let us just relax and chat properly. The vibe in here is spot on for a casual catch-up.

Love the vibe at The Spaniards Inn. It&#39;s this old pub with loads of character, feels really cozy and lived-in. Perfect spot to warm up after a long walk on the Heath. Just a nice, relaxed place to be.

The brunch rush is real here. Had to wait a bit for a table even with a booking. But the staff were on it, really efficient and kept things moving. Felt looked after without being hovered over.

Just popped in after the renovation. Love the new chilled vibe. The staff were really friendly when we arrived. Had a couple of drinks and the fish and chips&mdash;crispy batter, nice chips. A solid spot now.
