Old Bull and Bush in Camden

I had a great experience at The Old Bull and Bush, thanks to the fantastic service from Tianna and Megan. They were warm, attentive, and efficient, making me feel welcome from the start. The food was equally impressive—classic pub dishes with a modern twist. I highly recommend the steak and ale pie, which was hearty and full of flavour. Overall, it was an excellent visit with top-notch service and delicious food.

Just had to jot down a few words about my experience at this cute and wonderful little pub in the heart of Hampstead, ‘The Old Bull and Bush’. Only came across it by accident with my wife and a couple of other friends as we were talking about how hungry we all suddenly felt and like magic, this pub just happened to be right there, so in we went. After a couple of glasses of wine, we ordered some food from their lovely menu and was served from the time we walked in by this beautiful angel, Tianna. She had such an awesome spirit and actually, with hindsight, I think she may have made us spend more than we had anticipated because she just seem to have a way of suggesting what she thought we might like to try, so we tried all her suggestions. (Very dangerous when you’re hungry) Either the Old Bull had trained her well, or she was just a dream waitress. We said that another visit to this fabulous pub was a must if only for the food, well and maybe that lovely young lady too. Honestly, check it out if you’re ever in the area. 10/10.

Surprised this is a 3.5 on Trip Advisor. Food is good, prices are good - especially for Hampstead, and the decor is great.

Best pub food in Hampstead! Fresh fish and salad, tender steaks with vegetables and a great selection of wines to accompany.

Great food and atmosphere, plenty of drinks and a great service from Julia, highly recommended for all people and all ages

What a great nite, with friends and family Food was delicious Will definitely visit again Julia was a fantastic host and a lovely young lady

Went there today with some friends to celebrate my birthday. Staff at the till inside was super unfriendly- borderline racist. They are not interested in doing business. Victim of their own success.

Best food experience with its elegant ambiance and exquisite menu. The buttermilk chicken burger is my new favourite! Exceptional service from Dorothy, with her warm smile and impeccable recommendations, made us feel like cherished guests. Highly recommended!

Very Disappointing. Service exceedingly slow, waiting one hour for main course after starter and then told it was our fault for ordering a starter and also told that they are very busy. Whose problem is it. Not good enough I'm afraid. This used to be a very reliable place.

Our waiter Clemmy was very helpful and the lunch and atmosphere were excellent. Also very good value for money.

Had very warm welcome brilliant dinner was amazing and the waitress with the name of Jade was excellent they can do more for us

Superb chef who cooks Linguine and Fish and Chips to perfection 😃 The Old Bull and Bush serves quality, hot, Steaming food in a friendly atmosphere! See you soon 😋

Great lunch and great server. Nice atmosphere. Soup was delicious. Jade was lovely. Thank you Jade! We will be back soon.

The food was delicious, we all had a roast followed by one of the mini deserts. Our waitress Jade was friendly, efficient and made a fuss of our dog we had brought into the dog friendly bar area. A lovely lunch and great experience! Thank you, we’ll 100% be back!

I came in with a very good family friend for my pre birthday dinner. Clemmy took care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious. The drinks were made perfectly and they sang happy Birthday to me which was unexpected but very much appreciated.

Lovely atmosphere - Jade, our waitress was efficient and friendly ,especially impressive as it was so busy .Thank you very much.

Food was perfect, hosts (in particular Jack and Iliana) were knowledgable, on the ball and very accommodating. Great lunch for my birthday. Thank you!

The food is lovely, dirty burger is so good! the service is good and they are friendly and welcoming. The is parking too which is free.

Food was amazing, best roast had in a while! Service was really good especially Jade who looked after us really well! Will definitely be back!

We three asked for rare roast beef for a much longed for Sunday lunch, as per the rare beef on the publicity photo on the board outside. Sadly, our beef was really overcooked, the meat was chewy and stiff to the eye. One of the pieces was an end and was so tough it was inedible. Several of the carrots were under done and hard, the roast potatoes were not crispy and it was a great disappointment. We found the service however, very helpful and friendly. A pity the kitchen let them down.

Had a amazing Sunday lunch with exceptional services from Jade helpful kind and efficient Great food Sunday lunch roast beef was to die for

We visited the Pub for a little lunch as it was my son’s birthday recently. We had three lovely meals served by Jade our fabulous waitress🙏🏻.

Friendly welcome and helpful staff. Prompt service and great food in a warm and well appointed environment. Thanks Jade!!

Always a lovely dining experience…. Recently had a family roast … service was amazing… Jade our server was smiley, engaging & super helpful with our orders & making our experience comfortable with one of our party being 18 month year old … she amended the baby’s order to suit & provided a high chair Food 10/10 Newly refurbished 10/10 Parking & online booking… with ease

A big thank you to Jade for a wonderful lunch experience. She was pleasant, patient and a brilliant hostess throughout. An equal thank you to the kitchen for a superb meal.

Seated in the restaurant as booked. Drinks order taken and delivered. Waitress came to take food order, starters ok, then told us there wasn’t much food left. Transpired that there were only 5 or 6 main course options available, none of which were attractive. Apparently...

Current rating of 3.5 is generous. Wish id done ny research beforehand and would have picked a better venue.

When we first walked in it did smell a bit but that didn’t take away the experience we had, All of the service was phenomenal with the staff being attentive and ensuring that we had everything we needed to ensure the perfect meal, and the...

we love julia she was the best waitress give her the wine!!! she was the best waitress i’ve ever had. she is so funny i nearly wet myself #yougojulia #getthatwine

Hi I received very poor service and really spoiled our day out! The restaurant was aware of my booking but they messed the times up and accused us of being late , despite my showing the email and texts , this ruined my anniversary lunch....

Was at bull and bush today for breakfast that is supposed to be until 2pm and we got there at 11:30 and was told the breakfast was over. she went to ask the cook and he let us get breakfast, took too long to get...

Tasty food, sides & dessert served in clean ambient surroundings by friendly, accomodating staff like Anna & her colleague. Diners need to be aware of registering their vehicles to avoid getting a Parking Fine while on the premises. The car park is quite restricted &...

Met up with an old friend, haven't been to this pub for 25years.....it's been returned and is absolutely wonderful.the staff friendly. The food excellent.after lunch, wondered next door to The other bar, equally special, cosy and warm, and welcoming.cannot wait another 25years, so returning very...

The Old Bull and Bush looks absolutely fabulous since its reopening after its refurbishment. It has a fabulous ambience and the staff are as lovely and polite and welcoming as ever.

We went for lunch and we’re wowed by the transformation. They have gone over and above and created a lovely space. Our food was good and service very friendly with enthusiastic staff. I would definitely go back another day.

We came today for the opening trial run day and were seated in the restaurant. I have to say the refurb in the restaurant was wonderful in shades of green and cream. All the chairs were covered in a green gold shade of velvet extremely...

Couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable lunch. My wife, parents and I were all pleasantly surprised at how superb the food was (in particular the grilled sole). And the long overdue British summer meant that we could dine outside and enjoy some sun and...

This pub/restaurant is part of the Mitchell and Butler chain. We sat outside as we had our dog's with us. The bar staff were friendly and welcoming, the bar was well stocked even though they were about to close for a refurb. Because of this...

Just a lovely pub with an excellent location, lovely food and drink. Staff are always so welcoming .

Booked for a family event at £10 a head just for the room, which turned out to be an alcove off the main bar. The furniture cannot have been cleaned in a decade. Tired, not very clean, espensive. Presumably this place survives because it's the...

Visited the Old Bull and Bush and it's becoming a bit of a regular haunt with some nearby family members. There's always a lovely ambience here and a comfortable, welcoming setting. Sunday roasts were great with generous portions (amongst us we ordered the chicken and...

Furniture needs some refurbishment but otherwise it's a very cosy place, love to be here. Service and food both amazing with affordable prices. Sunday roast portions are massive, dessert options are always lovely.

V sad how shabby, grubby,depressing the pub inside & out is now.Stained chair cushions, scruffy tables rotting wood window frames -needs a good clean & refurb. Staff lovely.Food average. Clearly no investment for years. Shame it was a jewel.

As it happens, we had a nice, alcove table that suited us perfectly as not noisy. As usual, the friendliness of the staff made the evening all the better, as while the quality of the food is alright, it is not as good as it...

This Pub unfortunately is losing it’s heart. It used to be one of the best pubs in the area but these last few years it feels like something is missing. Today we came in for lunch, we came without a reservation and the front of...

I simply love this place. Have been going for years and even had several birthdays there. The food is fab the vibe is cool the cocktails are great

I love this place. This charming pub situated in a quiet corner of Golders Green, North West London, offers a relaxing atmosphere with an amazing menu, outstanding food and fantastic service. The staff are friendly, have brilliant sense of humours and cannot do enough for...

Oh dear what a disappointment! Having booked a table the restaurant we told on arrival that it was closed because of another function. This should have been flagged up at point of reservation. We were directed to the pub interior. Extremely uncomfortable settee and a...

The Bull&Bush has been a favourite with our family for years but lunch there today was extremely disappointing. As many have reported, the interior of the premises are looking very run down and in need of a complete refurbishment including the dirty furniture (chairs). The...

Food very poor staff all temps with poor attitude Toilets absolutely fiithy The pub needs a decoration paintiver and a proper management structure put inplace. Avoid this place as dirty

Food overall good but the dining room is really run down - that is kind of okay but our table and chairs were dirty. Starters - the chicken parfait was very good. The mushrooms were terrible. Chicken burger, 3 meats roast and fish and chips...

Came here for lunch and cocktails with my friends and it did not disappoint, I highly recommend!

Went for Sunday lunch. Very average. A few points: 1. Olives and 2 large slices of bread at over £7 was poor value and not tasty 2. Soup was nothing special - rather acidic and heavy. No.butter served with the bread 3. Fish and chips-...

We enjoyed a mid-week lunch today. Both the bar and the restaurant were buzzing, possibly because it was the Easter holiday week. We had booked our table the previous day. We were welcomed by Anna who took our drinks (a pint of Doom Bar for...

I am absolutely shocked at the way I've been treated When a friend from overseas called me to say he was going to be in Swiss Cottage for an evening, I decided to take him to the Bull & Bush on North End Way in...

New menu has some excellent additions as well as a few old favourites. Service was attentive and timely. Atmosphere was pleasantly buzzy.

They constantly are bringing in new staff with awful attitude, clearly they are desperate for people to work there as they are taking on any under-qualified person off the street who clearly doesn't want to be there. The portion sizes do not match up to...

Such a lovely welcoming pub with a lovely interior and the food is well cooked and nicely presented. The choice of drinks is nicely varied.

Came here for food and drinks with a group of friends, sat in the restaurant. Table was nice, food and drinks were great. Service great too. Very cosy bar area as well

We specifically asked not to be put on the table that had 2 stools as we were quite an elderly party. Needless to say that's where we were put and when we asked to change we were met with disdain and as there were 8...

Received a parking ticket on a night out with friends. I was a paying customer, who spend 2.5 hours in the pub and 3 weeks later got a ticket - such a disgrace. I have been going to the bull and bush for over 20...

My friends and I visited for a Sunday Lunch and it was amazing. Service was great, really friendly and accommodating, the food was also amazing. Would recommend.

We should have taken note of other peoples' reviews as this pub lived up to them. Although the menu is weirdly eclectic with cultural appropriation faux 'faraway flavours' galore, the food itself was quite decent and London prices without being extreme. Salt and Szechuan Pepper...

Yesterday I met with my friend for lunch, as we walked in we told the front of house Mario that we had not booked he then didn’t even say a word and passed me some menus and pointed to the bar area! Myself and friend...

Easy to park in free car park Upon arrival we were greeted by Mario who clearly didn’t want to be there and was sooo rude! He told us that there were no free tables even though there were 6 empty tables in the restaurant and...

The stench of dog and cooked meat is one step too far for me to visit the place again. The tables were dirty, the decor was grimy and Im amazed that they have a 5 star hygiene rating, must be because the kitchen is much...

A consistently good Sunday Dinner and they allow dogs in the bar. Unless you are a hardened bitter drinker you won't be disappointed by what's on offer. In the area there is nowhere better.

Excellent lunch, we did tapas style with lots of small plates, fabulous lunch & with parking too. Also loved our super lovely Australian server.

Jayson was just incredible. What fantastic service with such a gorgeous smile. We will definitely be back! Food was also divine. Best pub around.

The Old Bull and Bush is our definite go to for Sunday lunch - the food is delicious, and we often take family and friends who have all enjoyed the experience. A special mention for Anna who always goes out of her way to ensure...

Lovely food and atmosphere, the highlight for myself and my girlfriends visit was Marius, who was not only really friendly but did some insane card tricks for us out of nowhere. Definitely recommend if you want a smile put on your face!

Great food and entertainment 👌 Marius the magician was very helpful,fantastic and he made us laugh whit incredible magic stuff! 🙌🏻 recommend! I

The magician Marius was fantastic, very impressed - he made us laugh a lot and helped us when we wanted to change an order. Highly recommend

Marius was so helpful and made us laugh with his incredible magic! Definitely recommend coming here!

Extremely disappointed. Was looking forward to visiting a historic pub. Upon arrival was told that we had to sit outside on a cold January evening with no heaters. Upon insisting we were allowed to sit on the only two available bar stools, with dirty glasses...

Total damp. Dirty tables,toilets, scruffy and unpleasant staff. Many items from the menu unavailable. Shame on management, shame on Mitchell & Butlers.

We had a wonderful Christmas Day lunch here, which exceeded our expectations. The turkey was tender and my dessert of lotus biscoff chocolate bombe was sensational. Courses and drinks were served promptly by delightful staff. I know someone else complained about not having a Yorkshire...

Apparently this is gravy! Dessert and starter were lovely - the main was GROSS, no Yorkshire pudding, the Turkey smelt terrible, the gravy was not gravy more like oil. Service: rude, miserable staff. We paid over £150 each and were expecting a warm welcome and...

Booked 2 weeks in advance, on arrival asked if it was for a Christmas Lunch. No table laid,when it was no napkins a few crackers, waited 30 minutes for first course, scallops were off. They did replace. Waited for main course and was told the...

We enjoyed a cocktail followed by a tasty Camembert starter with smoked haddock fish cakes for main. Efficient service in a festive setting entertained by Marco the waiter and his clever magic tricks.

Great evening here made all the better by the incredible service (and astounding card tricks) from Marius. Delicious food too.

My friend and I had a fantastic experience at the Old Bull and Bush. We were hoping for a table in the main bar area but our booking was for the restaurant, and the pub were completely fully booked so now chance of switching. But...

The restaurant food was amazing including the wine and the “magician” waiter who took our order and treated us wonderfully. I recommend this place if you are close to hampstead 5 stars

The food and service were great! Especially the attention of Magic Marius, he did magic tricks for us and looked after us very well. We will come back.

We had not pre booked but luckily we managed to get a table. Whilst waiting we got entertained superbly by Marius the assistant manager. Our kids who would usually be complaining about waiting for their food were totally mesmerised and loved all his magic tricks,...

Whilst waiting for our food an we were treated to an absolutely brilliant performance from a magician called Marius! 10/10!!

Marius was excellent during our visit to the pub for lunch. He was super attentive, friendly and also showed us some brilliant magic tricks which made our afternoon! Food was great too!

Attended for first time for my sister's birthday. It was a relaxed environment, and the kids had a good time. I had a lychee mocktail, maple glazed pork belly and triple cheesecake. (don't judge). Did not expect to have table magic from Marius, the kids...

We came here for the first time to celebrate a joint birthday and it exceeded our expectations! The food was delicious and reasonably priced, the environment was perfect, but the best part was Mario, who delivered some excellent magic tricks around our table! He was...

Wow the food was incredible but what an incredible staff and especially entertainment by Marius. Definitely place to come back

We often go to the Bull & Bush and the Sunday lunch is always excellent. Today however, it was even better as Marious entertained us with his card tricks when he had a few minutes. He was brilliant, not only he a lovely friendly; efficient...

Good pub food, but the really impressive thing is the magic card tricks by the deputy manager, Marius. Some incredible magic!

Came for a quick drink with family! We were approached by Marius who was very welcoming and started doing magic tricks! Incredible skill! Very entertaining and we were all left questioning everything! Great great person! Thank you!

Our waiter, Marius, really made our evening with his incredible magic skills. The food was great too but that was just a cherry on the top.

Marius was super friendly and welcoming! We enjoyed our drinks while he presented us with some of his cool magic. Such an amazing way to start your meal! Had a laugh - it was much needed :) bravo

I’ve been coming for seven years and always love it. Food is good, atmosphere comfortable and service is great. It’s lovely to be across from the park too.

Amazing experience, my wife and I had Sunday lunch on 23OCT which was great. The Icing on the Cake for our amazing dining experience was thanks to Anna, who came to our table checking if we're enjoying our meal. Anna was great with everyone in...

I have been going to this pub for over 10 years and highly recommend it. The food is great, the bar is great and it just works well. The one issue I’d raise is that when you approach the bar, you are met with a...

I was very much looking forward to a hot dinner today. Unfortunately the vegetarian roast was served a very tepid temperature. My son had the roast chicken which was also not hot! There isn’t a vegan option for the roast which is also disappointing for...

We were very happy to be eating at this lovely pub again. it is something we do regularly. The staff really make customers feel at home.
