The Spaniards Inn

Dip into the colourful history of The Spaniards Inn, perched on the corner of Hampstead Heath.

Rumoured to have been frequented by notorious highwayman Dick Turpin, what is certain is that the pub has featured in famous literary works including Charles Dickens’s Pickwick Papers and Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

A pub for all seasons, there’s a warming fire for colder days and a secluded walled beer garden with patio heaters, perfect for alfresco dining or relaxing with a cold drink.

Enjoy tasty snacks, sharing plates and a contemporary take on classic pub dishes, such as wild boar, pork and ale sausages with savoy cabbage mash, or black treacle beef brisket and portobello mushroom pie. Small plates include mushrooms on toasted sourdough and pan-seared scallops.
