The Flask in Camden

For a real fish and chips, I recommend this pub. The atmosphere is good, the waitress is very friendly and patient with my broken English. Thanks to Laurent for recommending it to us. Perfect.

A lovely pub for lunch. Service was good, food was quite tasty. Everywhere I looked there was a nice decorating touch.. good find!

Only reason for denying 5* is the wine prices. £32 for the only bottle of Chardonnay is very steep.

Perfect Sunday Roast at The Flask Pub - I had a wonderful Sunday roast lunch at The Flask Pub in Hampstead. The roast beef was cooked to perfection, accompanied by all the classic trimmings, and the portion size was just right. We did ask for extra gravy, which was promptly brought to the table, adding to the meal’s enjoyment. For dessert, we shared a delicious rhubarb and apple crumble with vanilla ice cream, which was the perfect end to the meal. The atmosphere was cozy, with pleasant background music that wasn’t too loud, making it easy to chat. A thoroughly satisfying experience and a great spot for a traditional Sunday roast!

We booked in advance for Saturday evening table in the conservatory dining area. Lovely service from staff. Food and wine was delicious! We came back the following day and sat outside having a drink watching the world pass by. Wonderful pub.

Just popped in for half of cask beer.

Always a reliable, tasty and pleasant experience.

Definitely one of the best pubs in Hampstead! Sausage rolls are delicious!

Scenic and cozy old English pub in a beatiful location

Sunday roast is very good although the gravy could be better. Good size portions and not badly priced. The fish pie is also very good.

Relaxed and authentic atmosphere. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. A special five stars for the waitress wearing bunny ears for Easter.

We had our second annual reunion at The Flask in October 2024 of our small peer group of former Hornsey College of Art Vocational Graphic Design students, met for lunch in the public bar with tables reserved, and spent another highly enjoyable entire afternoon there. Our key pub contact was, as in the previous year, lovely helpful Meg who made sure that everything went as planned and, along with the other very friendly helpful staff, it all went brilliantly. We are definitely having all of our future annual reunions at The Flask, a great iconic pub, great food and drink, and a great location! Many thanks again to Meg and all the lovely bar and kitchen staff!

Really good pub food with friendly service

I came in for dinner and it was a lovely evening, the wonderful Isabel served me a great drink. I loved the cauliflower soup and recommend for anyone who comes!!! 10/10 service and food 😆😆

Lovely place to eat, the fish and chips were homemade and delicious, with lots of condiments. All the staff were so lovely too and they allow dogs

We recently booked the private room for after my father's funeral, & I can honestly say, it was perfect. Staff were really amazing - there when we needed them & disappearing when we didn't... I had some initial concerns when ordering the food platters prior to the event, with what appeared only to be 'pub grub', but I was thrilled when I saw the platters - anything but ordinary, & everyone loved it, including older friends & family! Thank you Meg, Jesse, & all the staff on the evening.

Yes, very... of all things food and tasty beer... top

Amazing fish and chips and lots of seating! Recommend :)!

Excellent option in Hampstead. I’ve been going to The Flask for years. Good pub food. Extensive menu selection all prepared nicely and well presented. Decent sized portions. Staff were very kind, diligent and patient considering we were a large group (12). The room in the back is well lit and very pleasant.

Thank you for hosting us! We had the back room to ourselves, it was lovely!

I organised two U3a groups for lunch here. Everyone loved the food (high quality) and varied menu. They also allowed us to pay individually, which was a great help with 18 people for lunch.

Great experience. Helpful staff, great seating reserved (with a view, as I asked for) and great food and wine. We had a lovely date at the Flask.

The Flask is a v well attended popular pub, friendly staff and good food

First visit, very impressed and reasonable prices.

I’ve been to The Flask multiple times and each visit is always spot on! The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is fantastic, and the food is consistently delicious.

Visited here for drinks. Nice pub in a pleasant, quirky side street in Hampstead.

Absolutely fabulous lunch and great service in a very special pub!

Solid pub food. Excellent atmosphere

Fantastic roast dinner, and good service. Will return often!

The servers were very friendly and efficient. We chose from the set lunch menu which was incredibly good value. There was a reasonable choice, and everything tasted really fresh with great flavours. We had mackerel pate, truffled cauliflower soup, mushroom and feta tart and pork and fennel sausages. At around £37 for everything, we were impressed. Good beer too.

Great service and ambience, and the drinks were good too. The Guinness is good and the Espresso Martini was very good. The gin and tonic was okay, because of the Half Hitch gin, not my favorite gin.

Lovely little tucked away place with decent food. Seemed to be a little understaffed but the lovely young chap with a great smile accommodated and served us perfectly. On the pricier side but that’s expected given the location.

My first time there and I was surprised at how sparse and basic the interior was. Virtually no atmosphere. But having said that the service was good and friendly and the food was good. I was a little surprised at the prices, but it is the centre of Hampstead!

Love eating and drinking at the Flask. Great neighborhood pub with traditional ambiance and good pub food and beer selection 🙌🏻

Good pub atmosphere (but noisy), beer and main course (pie very good). Let down by inadequate tiny slice of treacle tart for dessert, served quite cold (warmed would be better). The server just said "portion control" when I commented on my disappointment and that was that.

We stumbled across this pub by accident and it had an inviting look about it and well patronised, so we decided to pop in for a light lunch and the lunch menu looked appealing. Food came out pretty quick, and was fairly decent. I had the truffle soup which was tasty and warming, as well as some fries. I realise Hampstead Heath is more on the pricier side, but we were shocked to see the charge for a lager shandy was £7.75… All in, the bill was more expensive than we were expecting, but the price was the price, and we kindly asked for the service charge to be removed (noted as a 12.5% “discretionary charge”, taking the bill from £95 to £107). Unfortunately, the waitress decided to take offence to this, despite my mum saying “it’s not personal, and nothing to do with your service”, but she did note the higher charge for the shandy. The waitress responded to which, “Well it is Hampstead Heath”, in a condescending tone. My mum proceeded to paying the subtotal and again, not to cause offence, my mum said “just to reiterate, this has nothing to do with your service” As she walked away, she replied, “well maybe you should have paid it then” 🤯 I think your establishment needs to consider the true meaning of a “discretionary charge” and that it is not a natural entitlement. Staff don’t need to question its removal and understand sometimes it’s a lot of money to pay in addition. I suspect this is a culture as well within the hospitality field that as customers, we should always take these added charges on the chin and just pay them. In my view, it boils down to choice and personal circumstances and it’s both unnecessary and rude to probe a customer’s decision to such an extent, especially when asked politely to remove it and having no prior issues. I have to tell you, we felt almost vindicated in not paying the service in the end… Btw, the girl serving had blonde streaks in her hair.

Great pub with a lot of character

A Hampstead favourite, proper pub, great team, good pub food and excellent beer / wine / drinks selection in a charming atmosphere and decor along one of the most wonderful streets, Flask Walk, in Hampstead.

Good Sunday roast. It was a busy rainy Sunday afternoon and they were able to get us in early for our reservation, which we greatly appreciated!

Extraordinarily bad. I've eaten better in sewage pit restaurants at the back end of 3rd world dirt tracks. The wrong order was served. When the right order was finally served the food was burnt and by that i mean burnt black. My friends fish was mostly badly cooked batter and the chips not much better. Just a big disappointment although the coffee was decent.

We had an incredible time at The Flask this Saturday. Trixie and Deborah and their team were amazing, friendly, attentive and professional! The food was delicious, and we particularly appreciated the space at our table that worked perfectly with our dog. Thank you!

It was very lovely. We were happy with our food and atmosphere. The service was amazing, especially Ugurcan was super helpful.

We recently visited this restaurant for their Sunday roast, and the food was absolutely amazing! The environment was warm and welcoming, making it a lovely dining experience overall. We had booked in advance and requested a quiet table as we were dining with a baby. They accommodated our request perfectly, which made the experience even better. The restaurant is also family-friendly, with a highchair provided and baby-changing facilities available. Overall, it was a perfect visit, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

First visit to the Flask very impressed by the amazing traditional decor and comfortable seating. The staff were great as was the beer and sausage roll. Best buzz and music heard during our weeks holiday 😁x

The Sunday roast was incredibly generous, warm, and served very quickly. The staff were all friendly and attentive. Even though we didn’t initially ask for extra gravy, when we did, the staff noticed that we were running low and promptly brought us more. Great service and a lovely experience overall! If you are a Korean tourist and want to try a Sunday roast, I do not recommend choosing this pub. There are many more delicious Sunday roast restaurants in London… I enjoyed the beef Sunday roast a bit, but the gravy was too watery. If you live in the UK, it would be okay to eat hangover soup for Sunday lunch without worrying about the restaurant. If you are a tourist, I definitely recommend eating at a famous place somewhere else. Still, it's not bad if you're satisfied with just the good atmosphere and decent service.

Just don’t buy a sandwich and you’ll be okay

Lovely old pub. Popped in for a coffee Sat lunchtime and atmosphere and food looked so good we stayed for lunch. Ploughman's board with hot scotch egg, sausage roll, ham hock terrine and sourdough was amazing (rubbery bland cheddar was only let down) and youngs beer (flat and malty) was perfect. Very busy so great atmosphere. Will be coming back for an evening visit. Just what pubs should be. Dog friendly

Great Pub. The atmosphere is great, the snacks are great, and the drinks are great too. Scotch egg recommended. Moreover, the neighbourhood is great. What else, the temperature is pretty great and the music too. Recommended.

Great to be back at The Flask for drinks in early 2025. It’s always great service and a really warm welcome! A wonderful pub and team.

Lovely hidden pub round the corner from the underground. Very oldie and atmospheric. Service was ok wouldn't say very attentive as we had to get our own menus for desert but the food was delicious! Fish and chips with a side of tarta sause and curry sause made it. My partner had the burger and was also divine. The toilets desperately need more attention as they were pretty grim but all in all was a nice evening.

Lovely old pub full of character. Good was great and staff were excellent!

Excellent food and very nice ambiance, I hardly recommend the Flask!

Lovery servic&very cleen lovery staff &drinkwe both had haf the winter walmer which wss nice..the food was ok wonderfull mem of staff a guy with black hair looked aafter us.thank u , have a lovery week hope to see al soon. I rang an booked the table in the morn thank u

Food took forever and when it finally came It was a sandwich that consisted of 90% bread and 10% filling. Also had to keep chasing up drinks.

We had an amazing Christmas Day meal. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. One of our favorite pubs in London.

So glad I booked The Flask for me and my friends annual festive meet up. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was impeccable! Thank you to the staff member who said we could stay a little bit longer than our allotted time at our table - really made us feel welcome and the atmosphere was lovely. Will def be visiting again soon 🙂

We came here for a nice lunch but we waited forever to be seen despite making a reservation. Once we finally ordered drinks, they sat on the side of the bar for so long going cold that we went and picked them up ourselves - they confirmed they were ours but didn’t even offer to bring them over so we ended up serving ourselves. We then waited even longer to order our food and it took a lifetime to come. I eventually asked someone how long it was going to take. Eventually, when it came, there was nothing to it. The steak sandwich had 2 strips of steak in the whole sandwich. The £5 side of chips consisted of 8 chips in total. Such a let down as we’d been recommended this place by a friend.

We love the Flask! Great food, fun atmosphere and wonderful service. What’s not to love?

Good Sunday roast, fun relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and good drinks. What is not to like?

A favourite pub of mine and my friends! Lovely atmosphere, great food and drinks and the staff are professional, welcoming and friendly!

Always a good place for a drink

Dirty toilets and rude staff as always.

Service was good. We had the special 3 course traditional Christmas lunch with main being turkey, pigs in blankets, leg ham, yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, brussels sprouts, carrots and parsnips. It was a huge meal. Would have preferred to pay less and have less of the main meal as we had to take half of each main meal home in a takeaway box, but it shows how generous the servings were. Also highly recommend ordering a lemon, lime and bitters drink. 🥤

Staff were nice and friendly, interior is cozy and it feels warmly welcome. Would recommend :)

Hampstead’da olan tarihi bir pub.Yer bulmak için 30 dakika kadar bekledik.Sunday roast yedik,oldukça doyurucu bir tabak,yanında bira.Tavsiye edilir.

Really delicious Sunday lunch - everything cooked perfectly. Jacob very friendly waiter on our table

Had a lovely meal and our waiter Jacob was brilliant. Great food and atmosphere, very Christmassy too!

Food was really good. Very fresh and great portions. Staff where all lovely and nothing was too much for them. Great selection for drinks.

What a great Christmas catch up with friends. Delicious fish n chips and the Rioja went down a treat too! Excellent service from start to finish. The Flask never disappoints.

Had a really enjoyable late lunch, the steak main was lovely. But my favourite was the scotch egg starter!

Cosy but not pokey. The snug with mostly young, posh types (many of whom French?) with their dogs out on a Sunday afternoon. And I, posh and old, seeing myself in them. Hair touselled, gumbooted, attractive and confident about things I know about while frightened of things I don't. This is a metropolitan England within London, I think, and drain my pint before walking around the corner to have a turmeric latte.

Busy Young’s pub with a few ales. Highlight was the Winter Warmer. Traditional wooden decor.

Eight of my family (4 adult couples) plus a baby had a wonderful Christmas lunch get-together at The Flask on Saturday 7th Dec 2024. Food was delicious and delivered super quickly and Meg, Tara & Ayisia were wonderful hosts. Very welcoming, attentive to our various requests and really contributed to a lovely relaxing lunch together. Thank you. We will be back!

We were a party of nine and the pub was amazing with some dietary restrictions, food was incredible service was top notch. We loved it.

The service was overal ok, friendly staff. We all ordered sunday roast. The annoying this was they came twice after we placed our order to say they run out of the Yorkshire pudding and then of some of the vegetables!..But the food was good and the portions very generous for a pub in central London.

Popped in for a quick Friday lunch. Service was friendly and efficient. Our server was able to answer our meal questions. Our sandwich options were all tasty, although the bread for the steak sandwich could have been more exciting. It started to get more and more busy after 1pm.

Great Young's flagship: beers beautifully kept!

The wait staff are really friendly and helpful, and the food is always delicious! This is one of my favourite local pubs for dinner!

Great pub and good value food. Very helpful service. Well kept Youngs beer, Good atmosphere.

Disappointed to be honest, Sunday roast was pretty lacking. Watery thin gravy, two dry potatoes, one lonesome carrot... It's a lovely pub but I wouldn't come back for food when there are so many Hampstead pubs who do it better.

A pub with a nice vibe on a cute street in Hampstead. Staff were friendly but the Sunday roast (we had the vegetarian roast and 1/2 chicken) was rather flavourless and not what we expected based on the reviews. Very dry potatoes, chicken was dry, gravy didn’t taste of much and the same goes for the veggie roast. Bloody Mary was also rather bland unfortunately. Fun to try but wouldn’t come back for the Sunday roast.

Lovely place, great atmosphere, and delicious food. Super friendly and helpful staff even if the pub was full of people and the service was slowed down a little. Will definitely going back next time I'm in the area.

Nice cosy pub. Great selection of beers and ales on tap. RECOMMEND.

This pub down a side street in Hampstead is an absolute delight.

Great food and service. We had the roast . Music a bit too loud hence 4 stars for atmosphere

Really nice place, but 84 decibel music is designed for the staff, not the guests. PS: the owner just replied, thinking the sound level must be from a different pub. I'm still here, and it's currently showing above 85dB. Have taken a photo and sent a message upstairs inviting them down to sample it. PPS: He came down and we chatted. Very nice guy called Jesse. We redid the sound test, and he said he didn't know anything about decibels. There's a quieter room behind, but it had no seats free.

Mia was very friendly and the food was scrumptious :)

Love this spot for people-watching and the very friendly, super-social vibe! If you're planning on dining, definitely book in advance - walk-ins don't work (as with pretty much everywhere in London).

First time visit as we were staying in Hampstead for the weekend. I had booked a table for Saturday night having read good reviews, good job I did as it was really busy. Good selection of beers, food was very good, we both had cider battered fish and chips - they were soooo crispy and delicious. Great atmosphere and great service. Would definitely recommend and revisit. Many thanks.

Great vibes, great music, fantastic roast.

Saturday evening beers and food - Fantastic bar team, and a very well run pub with a great vibe. Always feel looked after, thank you!

Traditional pub good service Enjoyed the hamburger a little less than a steak sandwich

The food was a hearty portion and everything was delicious. We ordered a sausage roll and the Flask roast.

Excellent service, excellent food. I recommend it

So good! Amazing cauliflower cheese and loved the nut roast. Would have liked more than 2 potatoes but everything was still delicious.

This pub and these people!!! We really, really love The Flask and visit every time we´re in London but never had dinner there. That will change now. Amazingly good roasted squash and a superb sirloin!! Just go there, folks!!!

Cute authentic old pub on the corner of a little back street. Nice spot to grab a drink.

Charming pub; fantastic foodie experience. I ate too much, but wanted more.

We came here with family for an evening dinner. The pub is welcoming with a buzz! as are all the staff who were very attentive to all our needs! We enjoyed a section of starters especially the cauliflower soup! And pate. Our mains were well presented and plentiful. Everything was delicious and piping hot!! They have a good choice of wines too. We had a lovely evening and would like to thank everyone at the Flask. We will be coming back soon!!!
