Hampstead Heath, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

A pub has stood on this leafy site on the road to Golder’s Green for three centuries, and was made famous by Edwardian music-hall star Florrie Forde as a ‘little nook down near old Hampstead town’ where Cockneys would head on a day trip. These days a “stalwart still going strong”, it offers a “good-value set lunch in the dining room” (2 courses for £20.95; 3 for £24.95).
