If you're searching for the perfect Sunday roast in London, look no further than The Stag in Belsize Park. This charming pub has consistently delivered an exceptional experience, earning its place as my absolute favourite spot for a weekend feast. From the warm, inviting atmosphere to the impeccable service and, most importantly, the mouthwatering food, The Stag truly excels. Recently, I booked a heated pagoda in their lovely garden for a birthday celebration with friends. Despite a last-minute change in our group size, the staff were incredibly accommodating and understanding throughout the booking process. We were blessed with a beautiful, sunny day, and the patio heaters ensured we remained comfortably warm in the slight chill. Ordering drinks was a breeze thanks to the convenient app/QR code system, and the staff were exceptionally attentive, efficiently handling our multiple rounds of drinks orders. As for the main event, the Sunday roast, it was nothing short of spectacular. Our group opted for a variety of choices: Roast Beef: Tender, succulent slices of perfectly cooked beef, rich in flavour and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Crispy Pork Belly: A delightful combination of crispy crackling and moist, flavourful pork, a true testament to the chef's skill. Roast Chicken: Juicy and perfectly seasoned, providing a comforting and classic roast option. Each plate was generously laden with all the traditional trimmings, including perfectly roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and the undeniable star of the show: the colossal Yorkshire puddings. These golden, airy delights were served with copious amounts of rich, savoury gravy, poured from a gravy boat, allowing us to indulge to our heart's content. My partner and I opted for the sharing platter for two, a truly immense feast featuring all three meat options. The sheer amount of food was astonishing, and the quality was consistently outstanding. Each meat was cooked to perfection, moist and packed with flavour. The service was consistently friendly and efficient, adding to the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. As it was my birthday, my partner brought a cake, which the restaurant staff graciously allowed us to serve. Otherwise, we would have undoubtedly indulged in their amazing sticky toffee pudding, a personal favourite. To top it all off, our delightful northern waiter surprised me with a complimentary glass of prosecco, a thoughtful gesture that made my birthday even more special. The Stag in Belsize Park offers a truly exceptional Sunday roast experience. The consistent quality of the food, the warm and welcoming service, and the charming atmosphere make it a must-visit for anyone seeking the perfect Sunday lunch. We'll be returning soon!

We had booked a table for 4 people, only to be told upon arrival that the booking hadn’t gone through and there wasn’t space. We showed the booking email but were told it must’ve been a “typo”. The staff made no attempt to make up for this error.

I don't often write reviews on here but this one deserves a good one. I came here for Sunday lunch with 5 others and we all agreed it was one of the best roast dinner experiences we've had. The candle -lit tables add to the cosy winter pub feeling when you walk in, and the servers and bar staff are all so welcoming. I am gluten-free (coeliac) and so I struggle to find pubs that offer full roast dinners for me, however this one catered to my needs and I had an unbelievable roast beef which was cooked to perfection. Along with attentive service, chilled ambiance (we sat upstairs as downstairs was full, but still great), and good wine offering too, I will definitely be looking to go again very soon. Also, very fairly priced, a roast with wine that came to about £30 pp.

Fantastic pub which I found in a Reddit thread. I was looking for a place we've never visited before and came across The Stag, one of the things that caught my attention was that it is family run and also pictures of the delicious food which also matched our experience. We didn't have a reservation but they do have a great heated area in the back, both covered and open air. The service was excellent: friendly, savvy and efficient. My husband and I were very hungry and ordered the spinach artichoke dip, chicken wings, veggie wellington roast and "bit of everything roast". I loved both roasts and dip but for me the star of the show were the dhicken wings, I think they're called blue cheesy buffalo chicken wings and they were just fantastic. We also received very good recommendations regarding the food and which beers to get, they have quite the selection and would have loved to try them all! On this occasion we tried three fantastic sours and will make sure to come back and try the rest. If you're ever in North London, this is the place to drop by!

Great pub but they need more staff! Offering cocktails when it’s busy is always going to be tricky. Nice atmosphere, good choice of drinks but couldn’t get served easily. We had booked a table of 15. There were other groups too so they should know it’s going to be busy. Appreciate it may be tricky getting staff, but if it is don’t take so many bookings or maybe get some other way of taking orders at Xmas/busy times?

I was at the Stag twice in two weeks recently - first for a party in the upstairs room and then for a work Christmas dinner down in the bar. Both nights were great, really friendly and attentive service and delicious food. The toilets could do with a bit of attention (!) but generally I really recommend this pub, it’s a lovely spot and the staff really make it special.

The Stag – A Festive Dining Experience Nestled between Hampstead and Belsize Park, The Stag is a charming pub that truly comes alive during the festive season. With its warm, cozy atmosphere and Christmas-themed interior décor, it’s the perfect spot to escape the winter chill. We visited for dinner with friends and were impressed by the menu. For starters, we tried the chicken wings and tempura prawns—both dishes were packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. For mains, we opted for the classic cheeseburger and chips, which were hearty and satisfying. The food was undeniably delicious, but the pricing leaned on the higher side; the bill came to £45 per head, including one glass of wine each. One standout feature is the large beer garden at the back, which, while less utilized in winter, promises to be a fantastic space during the summer months. In summary, The Stag offers excellent food and a welcoming ambiance, making it a lovely choice for a special evening out. While the prices may be a bit steep, the quality and atmosphere justify the occasional indulgence.

This is a family run pub, a concept I really like. They are known for their extensive beer selection including 3 cask beers and countless kegs. They had a large whisky selection, I opted for a double Balvenie 12 year old at £14. They have a large beer garden and have recently opened the upstairs area, including balcony (mainly for functions but open to all on Sundays). They offer a typical pub food menu at reasonable prices for the area (their Sunday roast gets good reviews). They have live music, comedy etc (check their website for details). Check out their special deal, £3 for a cask pint from 5pm on Mondays. The service was excellent, both friendly and informative. Don't be put off by the black exterior, this pub is well worth a visit.

Food is pretty good amongst the likes of pubs. I tried some of the fish & chips, chicken schnitzel, chicken wings. They were all on par. Portions are also good. This old establishment in Belsize Park has quite a lot of character & is a popular haunt with a lot of locals & young professionals. I went there twice, both with big groups. First time upstairs in their special room for catering & second time in the garden. The spaces are good for what they are. Service can be a little hit & miss as it is so busy. But I must add staff are joyful & helpful.

We chose the Stag as a place for our American friends to experience an authentic Sunday Roast and we were not disappointed. Both the quality and quantity were superb and surpassed expectations. My wife shared a Lamb roast and I had the beef which was outstanding. The lamb portion was huge and we ended up taking most of it home. The wings and scotch egg are long running classics which I can never resist. Service was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere had a warm family vibe. A perfect autumn destination.

Was guaranteed that the private room would be held for a large function. The manager Jonathan even said he'd hold it for a few days until we confirmed how many people would be sitting for dinner. When we finally called to confirm, they told us it had been booked and reserved DAYS before. Don't think they know what they're doing there...

Domingo temprano a la hora del almuerzo después de la cita en el hospital, necesitaba un regalo! Mamá y yo fuimos cálidamente recibidos, pero tristemente todas las mesas en la barra delantera totalmente reservado. Nos llevaron a la zona de tiendas de campaña en la parte trasera, bromeando con el personal que teníamos un comedor privado. Elegimos una mesa junto a la ventana con vistas a la concurrida zona de terraza y debajo de un calentador. Bebidas pedidas rápidamente (casa grande roja y un rosado grande). Primeros: Una taramasalata compartida y mantequilla extra, herby pitta caliente. Excepcionalmente delicioso. Chef confirmó casa hecha con huevas frescas de bacalao fuera de la bolsa. Clásico! Hamburguesas, patatas fritas, ketchup a seguir. El bollo de brioche tostado también. Somos locales y notamos que la reunión es de Barratts, Inglaterra Lane - no es de extrañar la mejor calidad! Personal v atento, servicial, amable, servicial, divertido. ¡Y la cuenta final sorprendentemente razonable! Volveré pronto con amigos y creo que reservaré nuestro comedor privado en la parte de atrás, también la próxima vez. (Se llenó rápidamente). Gracias 🥰😍🤩

The food is great here. The atmosphere is also a vibe. 1 waiter was all good. The others I had to wave my hand for 15 minutes to get their attention, and when I did, I got one lady (Alice) who took the order but was rushing to get my payment and asking about tab... I don't want a tab, and I don't want her attitude either. (Throwing down the cutlery holder on the table and huffing and puffing) Not today, please. Diff waiters, better experience, maybe.

An absolute delight of a pub. All of the staff were so friendly and it really does just make a place what it is when you find that. Akeem, the bouncer, was so lovely- we'd been at a picnic at the park nearby so at first he was hesitant about us bringing all the carrier bags we had, but after seeing it was just leftover cake he let us in. Most bouncers would not be accommodating like he was, we very much appreciated him and his excellent hospitality. The drink selection here is also fantastic. Highly recommend :)

Beautiful pub, nice atmosphere, lovely staffs. However, their food menu needs to be more precise. I ordered here the other week, and I had a problem with the described items. I came back today with my partner and friends and ordered a different dish and there was a problem again. The problem with the food menu is that they need to work alongside the kitchen to describe the correct dish items with what is in stock. The food is good but was rather disappointed when it arrived with missing items and then finding out the kitchen doesn’t have it vs the menu. I would have been ok with it if the FOH knew this and told me when ordering. Nevertheless the pub is amazing drink wise but the kitchen and FOH needs organising when it comes to the dishes and menu. Alongside this staff should be giving cutlery and sauces etc before the food arrives. This will eliminate staff running around and having issues with patrons. Overall we were supplemented for this mistake this time round but this is notice for the GM to look into this. Cheers

Fui el domingo por mi madre en el almuerzo de cumpleaños de las leyes. Cuando llegamos temprano con mis hijos. La camarera tomó mi tarjeta de débito para reservar la comida por si acaso - en caso de que no pagamos. Lo cual es justo. Pero después de una semana he estado entrando en pánico sobre dónde está mi tarjeta de débito. Entonces pensé que la camarera de la mesa NUNCA ME LO DEVOLVIÓ. He estado llamando y llamar no es responder. He enviado un correo electrónico y todavía estoy esperando saber si tienen mi tarjeta de débito. Cuando pagamos la factura esto debería habérmelo devuelto inmediatamente. Ni siquiera estaba tan ocupado para que la camarera olvidara devolver a un cliente una tarjeta bancaria. Agradecería que alguien del pub me devolviera la llamada al correo electrónico. ADVERTENCIA!!!!

Came to this pub as part of a birthday party. Nice atmosphere and good food. However I had a real problem with an order I made via the QR code for table service. After waiting over half an hour my drink didn't show up. I went to to bar to chase this up but I didn't get served after waiting 40+ minutes (it was really frustrating seeing staff serve people who arrived after me). I eventually found a member of staff who was really nice and helped me get my drink, but by the time I got served I missed a lot of the party. Really frustrating turn of events. I would come back, but probably when it's quieter and there's a better chance of being served.

I recently had lunch at The stag and was thoroughly disappointed with the Sunday roast. The portion size was incredibly underwhelming, consisting of just two thin slices of mediocre beef, accompanied by lackluster sides. To be charged £24.50 for such a subpar meal, plus the additional service charge, felt like a complete rip-off. Regrettably, this experience has ensured that I will not be returning.

The Stag, staggering on service and staff interaction. One staff member deliberately disregarded my friends call as he passed by. The same staff member who forgot to give us cutlery with our very messy starter. Also the stags online menu doesn't match up with their hard copy (paper) menu, might be best to order drinks online and food with a member of staff; if you can grab their attention that is. And I'm still waiting on that extra gravy I asked for... thankfully I wasn't charged for it. Let's delve in to the details as service was the poorest thing and there's no more I can say on the matter. The food was decent, not outstanding, and that is why this critic gave it three stars instead of two. If a half-star rating was possible, it would have been awarded. The stag do have one of the nicest gardens I have been in and the atmosphere was very energetic, buzzing with the summer vibes we have long awaited. Suggestion: I recommended making a reservation in advance to prevent any potential disappointment, as those who did not reserve ahead of time struggled to secure a table outdoors. Or if you're a kind soul with a small party, offer to share your table.

Beautiful pub with a beautiful beer garden. The burger was so great but the compulsory tip when you order outside is wild. £7.70 is steep for a pint and when you consider the area it’s fine. But the compulsory tip of £0.96 per drink is WILD? I went back and forth on the app to see if I can take it off but I couldn’t. Also coming from someone who also works in management within hospitality: the replies by management on any comments less than perfect are super unprofessional. We’re allowed to give our feedback and it’s off putting to do so when owners of an establishment are super defensive and use guilt tactics as a response.

Wine to sparking, beer from the best breweries in cask and keg in different varieties. Food was delicious as I tasted couliflower wings. Must book your table otherwise it will be hard to have seat btw they have very nice beer garden at back. Serve was noticeably great and staff was friendly & helpful to make things better for you.

This used to be my fav place for burger over years. However seems the chef has changed recently, I was very disappointed with the burger we had, meat is still good but thicker than before, bacon is not crispy anymore and you need pay some efforts to find it in your burger and no salad anymore. Had no clue about Dijonnaise in the burger, am really disappointed. Drinks are still good, if you come for drinks you will be happy.

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the treatment my family and I received during our visit to The Stag, Belsize Park on Saturday, 11 May. As loyal patrons who have frequented your establishment for the past 20 years, we have always enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and excellent service that The Stag is known for. However, our most recent visit was unfortunately marred by the behaviour of both the manager and a member of the floor staff. We were dismayed to find that we were not treated with the courtesy and respect we have come to expect. Despite our long-standing patronage, the staff were dismissive and unaccommodating, which was surprising and deeply disappointing. When we attempted to address our concerns and asked for the names of the individuals involved, our request was refused, further exacerbating the situation. As regular customers who have always appreciated the quality of service at The Stag, we found this experience to be highly uncharacteristic and troubling. We trust that this matter will be taken seriously, and we hope for a prompt and appropriate resolution. We remain hopeful that our next visit to The Stag will reflect the positive experiences we have had in the past. Please do let us know how this issue will be addressed, as we are keen to continue our long-term patronage under more positive circumstances. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Yours sincerely, Bujar Haxhiu

Firstly, I think the food here is excellent and I would highly recommend. The outdoor area is lovely in the sun and drinks/food are quick to arrive if you use the QR codes on the tables. However, the service if you are sitting inside leaves something to be desired. We had to ask behind the bar more than once for someone to take our food order and when we wanted another drink, there was no one in sight (again) and they said they couldn’t take our order behind the bar, and we had to wait for a waiter (??) Staff seemed to be busy organising the straws but couldn’t take a drinks order… I think if they could sort out the service/tables inside, this would’ve easily been a 5 star review.

Today I had lunch at this pub and ordered chicken roast. I was with my colleague. We ordered two portions but were brought a whole chicken and quite a few roasted vegetables for an obvious meal for more than two people. I asked why they served me a whole chicken, the waitress told me they only had whole chickens. I asked her why she didn't tell me this in advance, she didn't answer me anything. I told her no problem. My reservation was for 2-4, at 2.35 the same girl came and asked me if we were still eating, and obviously we were still eating because I had food in my mouth, I swallowed my bite, smiled politely and without sarcasm replied as a joke “What do you think” when I pointed to the chubby chicken in front of me. After 5 minutes a woman came and gave me the bill and very meanly told me to pay the bill and get out of the pub and never come back there. She said I was rude to the staff. I paid £70 and we left and trust me we will never set foot there again. They obviously don't know what table service means and that the most important thing is customer service, in this case they crossed the line into mediocrity. It's frustrating and sad how someone just comes along and puts you in a situation where they accuse you of being rude without even asking what happened. But it's sad for those people who do that because I'll find another place next Sunday and they've lost a customer. It is a shame that nowadays they have turned these establishments into places where the staff have no idea of service and managers like this woman have positions of responsibility even in the neighborhood pub. Otherwise, a beer costs £7, fish and chips £20 Shame!

Celebrated my 30th Birthday in the Stag's new private marquee! 10/10. Massive thank you to Natalie and the team for making the evening so special! Hannah in particular was excellent at making sure everyone was having a good time and well cared for with drinks and food. Everyone commented on how great the space, the food and selection of drinks all were. Tables and chairs could be set up however we wanted for sit down meal / standing etc. Atmosphere created by the lighting made it all feel very inviting!

One of the better pubs in the Hampstead area. It’s a perfect place during the summer as it has a large outdoor seating area equipped with heaters and shelter. The food is tasty but some of the side portions were particularly small. Their selection of beer is the main attraction. They are also dog friendly but this is expected if you are in Hampstead. Music was good as well. If you are looking to host a party in Hampstead this venue is the one.

This place has really fallen off. The wings used to be perhaps the best in London and generous as well. I returned last week to find that they are both more than expensive, half the portion. On top of this, they lacked any buffalo sauce, were dry and overall very disappointing. The burger as well has suffered the same fate. It’s very disappointing to see pubs losing their local charm and to see standards dropping so low.

Very busy. Keen to push the food side of the business.

My partner and I have been coming here for many years... sadly the portion sizes have really changed. What felt like a local now feels quite empty and no wonder... with the extortionate prices.

We used to regularly visit for the ambience and Sunday roast in the rear courtyard and to have the famous wings. The portion is much smaller not even half of what we had before! the price was the same. It is so sad! Unfortunately won’t be our go to any more.

A very nice pub, the food is amazing, the staff are friendly, they have a great selection of draft and cask ales, even Lucky Saint for those looking for kicks without the effect. They are well known for the chicken wings, they are spicy tasty and creamy. Goes well with a side of parmigian truffle fries. They have vegetarian options, are doggy friendly, and family friendly, until a reasonable hour. Most lively over the weekends so book a table online, during the week just pop in for some fun. The beer garden in summer is soooo nice, with many tables and loads of space. I have no complaints, even the sticky toffee pudding is just well disgustingly good. And if for any reason you do feel unwell, hey the Royal Free Hospital is right next door, so win win.

Ive been a couple of times, the beef Sunday road is very tasty but very stingy, portion wise. Plus there's always a delay getting the gravy. I tried the beef burger the other day and it was very good!

Great location, proper pub downstairs with wonderful service, and the room was excellent. Very walkable to multiple train stations that can get you anywhere in London or broader UK. Add in that they're an Everton pub and 😊❤️

We were looking for a English pub experience and the concierge told us about this place. He was absolutely correct. This was everything we were hoping for. Food, beer, atmosphere, people all is great

Has the basics and location is good. However the rooms are very small and there are some simple things that need addressing. Lack of iron and places to hang more than two shirts or jackets. Showers are showing signs of age with mould around all edges There is no where to hang towels in bathroom. General paint and condition of walls leaves a lot to be desired there’s a lack of general maintenance about the rooms. Rooms are not bad a little noise from the road but that’s to be expected. We had the hotwater not work on one night. It’s really a 2.9 start hotel at best. It might get up to 3.5 if did some maintenance and added the basics. Wouldn’t stay again.
