Ye Olde Swiss cottage in Camden

Nestled onto a traffic junction Ye Olde Swiss Cottage yells trap de tourism. From the title including Ye Olde to the architectural frontage, you know this isn't the norm for Finchley or Camden Town. The external beer garden has been made to look as good as it can given its location between two busy arterial roads. I chose to go inside as the emissions might be a little lower. The inside space was welcoming and quite pleasant, roomy with plenty of table space and seating. Where the venue took the Swiss stereotype too far for me was with the pricing. A pint of cider and a small (small side dish) of tomato salad came in at £14 .. even Heidi would have been shocked.

quirky, still has its place. Would recommend seeing it at least once. It's a shame they have such a limited offering beer wise.

Appalling place , dead , a ghost of a pub . Smells inside so sat outside. Pricey for the state of it too . Used to be a nice pub which seems to be the saying for most London pubs these days . Food ? You’d have to be stupid to even contemplate it . Wine glasses were filthy too. I’ve never seen such a dead pub in my life . Sad .

Flying visit for a quick lunch and half. Usual Sam Smith beer selection = superb and varied, great stouts. Friendly staff, cosy interior. Welcome respite, typical of this brewery. Great!

horrible place, please advise, mice running around, hair in food, staff were very odd. place was dull, and one of the staff looked like a drug addict , everthign we asked for they did not have or could not bring and the food was not very nice.

When I used to come to London we would often drive into the city and depending on where we were going we would sometimes come past Swiss Cottage. I was always fascinated by this unusual building which seemed out of place with the surrounding buildings. Recently I visited the Swiss Cottage for the first time and it's a nice little bar/restaurant. I found it very charming and tidy.

Overpriced and understaffed, promoting a 5.00pm - 7.00pm two-for-less meal offer unavailable - one bar person barely coping with customer drinks. £13 for a pint and a g & t but we had to wait 15 minutes for a slice of lemon. We used to like Sam Smith's pubs but premioum prices and poor presentation are driving the brand downhill.

Since we were staying at a hotel in the neighbourhood, we decided to have dinner at the closest pub. The atmosphere was cosy and relaxed, but we had to wait a while to be served. I think there was only one man working at the desk. We had fish and chips, and that was very good.

Had a fantastic time Wonderful staff very knowledgeable of the area I would fully recommend ye olde Swiss Cottage for drinks and food. The food is reasonably priced and the beer is at the correct temperature I would Recommend to anyone speak to Oliver he is very helpful

I know the area pretty well and this is the nearest pub to where I’m staying. Swiss Cottage is largely a big roundabout with Ye Old Swiss Cottage on the northern side next to Swiss Cottage underground entrance. I know the pub is a brewery owned, manager operated pub selling Samual Smiths beer, but decided to give it a try for a meal and a couple of beers. I ordered the Tadcaster ale. It was good and the correct temperature. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed, so I had my beer and left. I didn’t find the pub welcoming, and there are others in this area that are. This is not I would call a happy place. While drinking my beer I noticed a beer glass being filled from the drip tray and placed back under the nozzle. This is something I’ve never seen in a pub before and I question it’s legality with regards food hygiene rules. I will not be going back there again, and it compares badly with other public houses in the area.

Nice pub, lovely old feel, bar staff a little miserable, but could have been having a bad day just like the rest of us have.

Go during 12-3 or 5-7 for happy hour dinner special. Great deal! An honest best kept secret of London. There’s a reason the station is named after the place. Not for a date but for a drink w the boys or a casual dinner night for sure.

Lovely building with great atmosphire but the food was poor. How can one mess up fish and chips a bear and tea? The chips was over fried ons soo dry and they forgot the drinks compleatly. Such a shame to give a bad revew on a pitentially great place.

very nice building … the inside is very traditional english pub … good drink choices … they got my food order wrong but the food tasted good so i did not complain plus the person who received my order was friendly so it was ok

Fantastic Sam Smith's pub with friendly staff, standard pub-style food, and good range of beers and cider. Decor is amazing and nice to be in a pub without noise and TV sets.

Really mellow friendly pub with huge charm and great organic lager. The barman was so nice. He let me use his phone charger.

bonne bière pression brune ainsi que la lager bio. Le pub sert aussi à manger, type burger, fish and chip, un même menu vu dans plusieurs pubs de Londres. les calories sont précisées, ça peut faire réfléchir...

Welcomed by the new general manager Oliver, he made our evening, he is very knowledgeable helpful and could not have been more welcoming well done and thank you for a lovely evening

Stopped off for a quick drink - quite pricey - one thing i hate about pubs is when you can't see where the toilets are - are the owners really too stupid to understand signs?

Having driven past many times decided to stop to eat. Familiar with this chains offering, ordered the “ famous” steak and ale pie. What arrived was the size and texture of an ice hockey puck which had spent several hours in an oven and dried out completely. Inedible and at £13 plus an insult. The waiter seemed unsurprised that the food was virtually untouched and cleared the table without comment. No post COVID excuses here

Looking for an eatery before a theatre visit, found this place. Not very tempting to look at from the outside but decent enough inside. Staff welcoming. Was there mid week so really quiet. Enjoyed the food, nicely cooked and tasty, good portions. Only negative was it's so dimly lit indoors. I sat at one of the few tables that had a light over it so I could see my food, but really too badly lit.

This was a delightful experience with straightforward reasonably priced food in a great pub environment where all you can hear is the general chatter of people enjoying a social experience - what could be better? I’d happily go to any pub like this.

Nice Pub, frequented by people who complain and can't spell. It's a pub with beer food and warmth. Get over it.

Staff are very unwelcoming and rude. Don't waste your time head yo canden yiu will.have a better experience.

Lovely pub to visit with lots of atmosphere, good food, a diverse range of unusual drinks and a fantastic barman. We were a party of nine who they were able to accommodate on a bank holiday and the service was excellent. The barman was friendly...

Welcoming pub with a lovely barman. The pub is dated, but characterful. It was quiet when we visited. The orange juice was good quality and cold and the toilets were clean.

The First look from the outside looks a bit intimidating, but from the inside feels comfortable. I was happy to see something different then the old Guinness Stella Kronenbourg trio on the tap, their beer is actually delicious. We had 2 kinds of stout, some...

Food needed 10-15 to cool, not cooked !!!! Nuked in microwave !!!!!!!!! Relying on foreigners and tourists ! Like most London outlets they don’t care because they have passing trade and don’t need locals ! Barman said they serve what the company send 😂😂😂😂

The staff is rude and does not miss a chance to shout at customers. Disgusting practices used when pouring beers. This is a Samuel Smith pub so don't expect any known brands, they only have their own beers. Overpriced for the value of the product....

Absolutely horrendous! DO NOT GO HERE! I was greeted by a lovely lady who sat us at a table and told us to order at the bar when we were ready. Masks on, went into the bar and asked for a menu. Was told I...

Worst management I have ever come across and I have drank in a lot of pubs in my life time.no idea how to run a pub.

I think it’s a disgrace that this imbosil is putting the price of a pint up yet again.in the space of a couple of months It’s gone up £1.10 & from next week it’s going up another 50p making it £5.50,it’s a joke.sort ur life...

My friends and I were sat a table side-on to the bar last night and having a few drinks. We watched a member of staff empty the drip tray under a pump and pour it into a pint glass (about quarter full) and then replace...

Nice looking bar, but, and its a big but, the staff have a very poor idea of customer service, rude bordering aggressive. No idea how to treat and speak to people. Pubs in England are closing down at a fast rate, and this one needs...

I asked about eating after the cinema nearby on NYE. I was not told they closed early. We went there on NYE, then had to return home to change our plans. Gradually the place has decined with tired lazy staff and early kitchen closing. The...

Those hoping for traditional Swiss beers and food will be sorely dissapointed, those hoping for traditional British beers and food will not be. Portions of food are very generous and great value for money considering the affluent area the pub is in, service is very...

very nice pub and not too busy just outside the Odeon cinema! A nice atmosphere with friendly staff and a nice cosy feel My brother and I enjoyed our meals - beanburger for him and steak and ale pie for me!

Planned on going here to eat, but after walking 15 minutes to get there walked in around 6:15. This was on a Sunday. They lack a website as well so couldn’t find any information about that either. Only shows what time they open and what...

Este bar está lleno de cervezas del norte. Cerveza encantadora No puedes usar tu móvil en el bar y está desprovisto de música.Genial para conversaciones y relajarse en Chesterfields.Estaba esperando a algunas personas del norte con gorros planos y látigos.No hay señales de nada suizo. Sin Toblerone, sin queso holey, sin relojes de calle Bernard o de cuco. .

Took my mom to our first British Pub. Nice area clean pub. Service not the best not the worst more of a self service situation. Large medium or small wine like a slurped. I myself enjoyed the large wine. Was ok. Would go back for sure. Seating inside and out which was also nice. Food menu was limited which is why only a three out of five.

Pasé meses en Londres por negocios hace muchos años y este lugar era mi pub local. Veo que la comida es la misma y fue fenomenal. Me encantó el tradicional Fish and Chips. La gente local que conocí fue muy amable. Conocí a todos y fue mi lugar de reunión local mientras estuve en Londres. Cuando regrese a Londres, sin duda volveré a pasar por allí.

Visité el pub The Swiss Cottage el viernes pasado, ya que se estaba convirtiendo en un lugar habitual para conocer amigos el viernes después del trabajo. Mientras esperaba que aparecieran 2 amigos, estaba usando mi teléfono para llenar el tiempo hasta que llegaron. Me contactaron con un miembro del personal que me dijo que el uso del teléfono móvil estaba prohibido. Cuando cuestioné esto, enseguida se me mostró una declaración enmarcada. Cuando uno de mis amigos llegó, tomamos la decisión de irnos de inmediato y contactar a los demás con nuestros teléfonos móviles, debo agregar para concertar una cita en otro lugar.Entonces, ¿qué pasa si la barra en los dispositivos electrónicos está destinada a fomentar la conversación? Ciertamente no voy a comenzar a conversar con la pareja que estaba a mi lado y además. Estaba usando mi teléfono sin molestar a nadie más para jugar un juego y usar la aplicación ereader Kindle para leer un libro. Dos cosas que se han hecho comúnmente en pubs durante siglos. Podría entender si estaba reproduciendo música, videos o juegos con el volumen encendido porque eso realmente es molesto, pero no lo era. ¿El dueño de los pubs de Samuel Smiths, Humphrey Smith, de 73 años, también va a prohibir libros y periódicos, incluso hacer crucigramas? ¿O es solo un ludita y odia la tecnología?Habiendo hablado con el personal, simpatizaron completamente conmigo y también expresaron una sensación de temor de que los ENCONTRARÍAN si no se acercaban a los usuarios de teléfonos móviles y les pedían que dejaran de hacerlo. Le pregunté qué pasaría si recibiera un mensaje de texto o una llamada que requiriera una respuesta. Me dijeron que tenía que ir afuera. ¡Entonces los teléfonos móviles son los nuevos fumadores! ¿Habrá refugios para usuarios móviles en el invierno? Yo creo que no.Bueno, mis amigos y yo votaremos con nuestros pies y no volveremos a visitar el lugar hasta que se levante esta ridícula violación de derechos. Si quiero sentarme con una cerveza tranquila y leer un libro, ¡debería hacerlo! Ciertamente no se me dictará ni se me obligará a conversar si no quiero.

I am a bit surprised by some of the negative comments because we did not encounter any issues. The food was great, portions were good and the service was on point.

Visiting London with my family we decided to go to the iconic Swiss Cottage pub...what a mistake that was! Dont be lured in by the quaint flowery window boxes and promise of a great British pub experience. The service and attitude of the staff was beyond rude and unhelpful. The food portions were small compared with the pictures on their website and I only received half a piece of fish for my fish & chip meal. When our meals arrived we politely asked for salt and vinegar, (as you do when eating fish & chips), we were very rudely told that they 'Dont do table service' and that she wasnt prepared to get us any as she was busy! We sat there in disbelief having spent over £120 on fish & chips for 7! Engish was not the first language of any of the staff we dealt with but this didnt stop them from being well versed in rude comments and remarks. If people do not want to serve clients and create a pleasant experience for guest and diners then they shouldnt be in the HOSPITALITY trade. It was the worse pub experience I have EVER had. The owner should be ashamed!!!

Var vår närmaste pub, och ett härligt ställe att koppla av på. Maten var rätt ordinär, rmen hittade en god stout, Samuel Smith, som jag tycker är bättre än Guinness.

Paré aquí para tomar unas copas antes de dirigirse a Wembley, bajando deliberadamente algunas paradas de metro temprano con la esperanza de que encontráramos algo, y lo hicimos. A pesar de tener solo una sidra de barril, que era decente, disfrutamos de unas pocas pintas. Había algunos otros fanáticos alrededor, y algunos locales, pero el lugar no estaba abarrotado, que es lo que esperábamos.

I've been very disappointed. I young lady told us the kitchen was closed when the Internet says that closing time was at 10.. Staff was very arrogant and lacked motivation.. This place really needs a change cuz for me it has a lot of potential.

Nos encantó este viejo y encantador pub y solíamos ir allí hasta que sucedió este triste incidente.

Schönes und ungewöhnliches Pub mit viel Platz, vernünftigem Essen zu vernünftigen Preisen und einer richtig guten Auswahl an englischen Bieren.

Hard to believe, but here it is. No choice of wine only one available, no ice bucket, no crisps or nuts... Really !!?

Pub muito tradicional, luz baixa, muito carpete. O ponto alto é o espaço, maior que a maioria dos pubs, com várias mesinhas, sofás e combinações para sentar, além de uma área externa com muitas mesas. Cerveja de qualidade, comidinhas gostosas. Nada de excepcional, porém bem honesto e com atmosfera de estar realmente em Londres.

Have not eaten here, but used it for after theatre drinks since it is so close to Hampstead Theatre. Best part is that it is so spacious. If you are lucky, some nice leather chairs to settle into and chat. Service good (but pub wasn't heaving) and even though there was an exceedingly irritating bunch of drunken punters trying to watch videos on their phone at high volume last night, it is big enough to allow you to move away to another section

Schönes uriges und gemütliches Pub! Super um dem Trubel in der Innenstadt zu entkommen. Immer wieder gerne. Eine Portion Fish & Chips kostet £ 11.95 ist ok, die Portion war gut und der Preis ist auch ok, in der Innenstadt kostet es im Schnitt £ 14,99 und die Pub's sind voll.

a cracking selection of beers and ciders. The food menu is varied with all the traditional favourites. Prices are fair for London - we had 1 pint /2 soft drinks/3 main courses £40. Good value , efficient friendly service

Había visitado la parte alfombrada de la Casa de Campo Suiza antes, pero esta vez tropecé por casualidad en el otro bar. Parece que no hay acceso interno entre las dos barras. Se accede al "bier keller bar", como lo describiría, a través de la zona de tiendas de campaña al aire libre para fumadores. En el interior, los pisos son de madera lisa, con un acabado adecuado, tal vez alguna vez fue un salón de baile. Inmediatamente dentro de la puerta hay una especie de área de vestíbulo vacía y vacía. Adelante está la entrada a una sala con mesas largas, que en esta época del año es muy popular para las fiestas de oficina. Llegué justo detrás de uno de estos grupos, y luego otro grupo llegó y preguntó si había más sillas disponibles para los que llegaban en el último momento. El propietario respondió que su reserva se había hecho más temprano en el día y que ahora no se podía acomodar a más personas. Creo que le oí decir que las sillas no podían colocarse en los extremos de las mesas.

Paramos con amigos para tomar una copa. Qué lugar tan extraño. Primero, tienen una buena variedad de cervezas, lo que obviamente es bueno para un pub.

Cute place and great location. Food was just average. One of those places where the tables feel sticky. Very dark true pub type location.

Tisch aussuchen, Karte studieren, an der Theke bestellen und bezahlen. Die Tomatensuppe war nach Zugabe von Salz und Pfeffer wirklich gut was man vom Rest leider nicht sagen kann. Die Beef- Lasagne war vollkommen geschmacksneutral. Das Personal war freundlich und bemüht. Alles in allem keine Wiederholungsgefahr. Schade

Visited for end of term drinks with colleagues, this pub is very well located right next to Swiss Cottage Station, the pub it’s self is an amazing work of art

Nos topamos con este pub al azar y decidimos comprobarlo para una comida de domingo después de leer las críticas en el haunted interior. Realmente me encantó el ambiente de estar aquí para el almuerzo, me encantó el fantasmas del interior tranquilo y privado y cómo se sentía.

We stopped by here for a drink whilst walking past and our eye being caught by the interesting exterior. Drinks were reasonable prices, plenty of seating inside and a large patio too.

Hermoso para mirar como antiguo lleno de nueces, así que patatas fritas preciosa historia.

Este pub parece ESTUPENDO desde fuera, muy original. Dentro se siente como si Fagin podría venir de una esquina. Oscuro y misterioso con un montón de planta, vacío en el momento en que llegamos después de un matinal de teatro. Mesas alrededor de los bordes, pero muchos de ellos. Tomamos nuestros asientos alrededor de una mesa y encontramos el menú de bebidas un poco limitado. Vino en botella era ordenados aunque cuando Sauvignon solicitado nos dijeron que no había nada de marca! ! Jajaja nos quedamos sólo por red. . . . .

A different looking pub and a bit quirky but nice. Right near the station and cinema, quite old fashion but nice, clean and good service. Food was pretty average but no complaints.

Nos alojamos en un hotel no muy lejos de este pub y estaba literalmente justo al otro lado de la calle de la estación de metro Swiss Cottage. El único estilo suizo del pub nos dibujó en una cena. La comida estaba bien, la selección de cerveza era buena y el servicio amable. Sin embargo, el interior necesitaba un poco de actualización. Yo no haría un viaje especial a este pub ya está un poco lejos de la zona turística en una parte mayormente residencial de la ciudad. Parecía tener un buen local siguiente, era bastante tranquilo, y bastante grande para un pub de estilo inglés.

The food took a long time to come and was hot in some places and cold in others. The flavour was disappointing, and although standard low level, pub mass produced food, it could have been a bit better. Staff were pleasant, pub was overheated.

Close to Swiss Cottage underground station. Nice exterior and pleasant interior. Staff were friendly and beer reasonably priced. Was just passing and probably wouldn’t go out of my way to visit. But a decent pub if you are in the area.

Cualquiera que conoce en Londres Pubs Samuel smiths será consciente de que normalmente están bastante bien cuando se trata de o interiores. Con este edificio, que preside el entorno, aunque todo lo demás fue construido a su alrededor. . . Y allí. Hay numerosas referencias a la historia del edificio.

Not sure what people are wanting after reading some of the reviews! This is a pub not a west end wine bar. A pub steeped in history and traditional character with good beer, larger and bitter. And they actually have a sprinkler on the hand pulled beer which is very rare in London to give a perfect pint. A nice relaxing pub warm and cozy with ambient lighting wood panelled walls comfy settee's. So if you want a fancy wine bar or restaurant go up west. If you want a nice friendly pub warm in winter and a great beer garden for the summer come to the ye older swiss cottage. We love it and visit evey time we are in London.

It's not often that I have a pint of bitter and think - "that's not good", but I did here....

la cucina chiusa già alle 21 di sabato sera, quindi non abbiamo potuto cenare. diversamente pulito. buona la birra.

Nos tomamos una copa aquí en nuestro camino de vuelta al hotel, después de un día precioso. Está cerca de la estación de metro Swiss Cottage. Personal amable. Decoración retro. La media de los precios.

Corriendo pub en una zona donde hay sólo otro pub, y eso es incluso peor. Uso solamente en la desesperación.

This pub was close to our hotel so we stopped by a few times. The building is pretty cool for...

La mayoría de entradas pueden estar bloqueados por camiones y camionetas, tardamos una eternidad para negociar nuestro camino a Ye Olde Swiss Cottage, que ocupa una posición privilegiada en el centro de la encrucijada importante fuera de la estación de metro Swiss Cottage. Cuando logramos...

Avevo un po' di timore visto qualche recensione non eccezionale. In realtà ci siamo trovati molto bene, con cibo assolutamente nella norma (abbiamo evitato i pasticci) e una grandissima scelta di ottima birra organica.

Buenos lugares para comer, pero el lugar está bien de moda y mobiliario antiguo y alfombras mayores. El lugar no ha conseguido un lavado de cara en un tiempo

Fui con mi novia para un almuerzo de estilo inglés. . Y después de un par de entradas (cursi nachos y buñuelos) yo personalmente tenía una tarta de carne y mi novia un cordero hígado. mi pastel tenía un delicioso salsa y la carne dentro de la tarta se parece a la misma que la carne utilizada para "salsa". El hígado de cordero era ridículo; 3 piezas en toda la placa y que 3 piezas verde y púrpura, donde alrededor de color. Después de probar asquerosa. justo por el bien que llamamos el camarero que era muy suave y después de haber hablado con el gerente de volver a diciéndonos que podíamos tener algo más o un reembolso. . Una vez allí elegir. para tener algo más. . Así teníamos dos bistec sobresaliente. . Supuestamente la parrilla. Pero como duros que obviamente se ha dejado como estaba en la placa después de un poco de prueba. De todos modos historia hemos estado 2 días con diarrea vómitos y virus en el estómago. Este es el resultado de 40 libras en un lugar desierto de pasar. Nunca volver!

Great experience to in a English pub. Visited this pub with couple of my friends this august. The location is amazing right in middle at a fork. The interior is of a vintage pub with arm chairs and other furniture. The beer is good. We didn't eat anything there but it smelled amazing. Worth a visit once to this historic pub.

I wanted to experience a typical English Pub, and Ye Old Swiss Cottage lived up to its name. I had a delicious pear ale which was perfect! However, I was not happy with my fish and chips as they were very bland. There was no salt or seasoning of any kind and the fish itself was a bit tough and appeared to have been frozen and not fresh. My friend had bangers and mash which were really good. I also had the sticky toffee pudding, which was really quite good, but wasn't exactly a pudding...more like a carrot cake or banana bread consistency.Our waitress was great and started singing. She had an amazing voice! She made some great recommendations, if only we had met her our first night and not our last.

Looking for a Sunday roast ! It came ! 3baked spuds ,dollop of mash side plate of tasteless veg and a couple of slices of dried up overcooked beef. Sad Avoid if possible !

avendo preso alloggio in un hootel nelle vicinanza una sera leggendo le recensioni positive sui pasticci (pie).ne ordino uno steack pie etc.mi arriva il solito pasticcio avvolto dalla pasta frolla con delle patate che non erano nè fritte nè in padella... bho e delle verze bollite, con un bricco contenete una salsa bruna dal sapore e odore terribile.apro la torta e ne esce un odore terribile di interiora, eppure ho scelto una steak pie proprio per evitare le solite interiora inglesi.mi è andata male, o mi hanno dato un'altra cosa oppure era una bistecca di un mese fa.cerco di farmi forza e lo provo ma proprio non va giù, anche le patate sono tiepide e moscie, ma intrise di olio. mangiucco la pasta frolla.poi una coppia di anziani avventori del posto si prende a pugni al tavolo di fronte.faccio un salto al bagno e ne esco due secondi dopo con la nausea.purtroppo i bagni a londra sono spesso terribili.mai più.peccato perchè la location è carina, forse solo per una birra potrebbe andare bene.

Das Pub liegt direkt an der U-Bahnstation Green Park und bietet mehrere im britischen Stil eingerichtete Räume sowie einen Biergarten. Die Atmosphäre ist gemütlich.Im Pub muss man die Bestellung selbst an der Bar aufgeben und auch gleich bezahlen. Das Essen wird einem dann an den Tisch gebracht. Wir hatten Fisch und Chips (9,95$) und Kassler Steak mit Chips (8,95$) und waren mit der Menge und der Qualität sehr zufrieden.

It was recommended to us by a local shopkeeper on Finchley Road. It is a traditional pub. The food was reasonable and the beer plentiful. If in the area again, I would certainly stop in for a drink. They had a big outdoor patio/seating area and on a warmer evening it would have been good to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere.

Descubrí este pub una de las veces que cogí el autobús desde Hendon a Marble Arch. Cuando lo ví, me atrajo en seguida su estética, primero la exterior y después la interior. Tiene una parada de metro al lado y una parada de bus cercana, así que está bien comunicado. Tienen de todo y no es muy caro. Lo recomiendo, porque es un pub con aire distinto.

Very beautiful pub and very British pub. I love this place. Is very nice and in the same time a peaceful pub. You can have a chat with your friends and you can stay comfortable. Good

After 2 hours of heaving my laptop across Regents Park and Primrose Hill searching for pokemon, we were on our way home for Dinner and we decided to stop off for a beer at a pub next to the station. The outdoor court yard is huge with plenty of space, the inside has comfortable chairs. The beers are great, I personally like the wheat beer and my girlfriend likes the taddy lager. Definitely worth a visit in the summer or on a dry night for a post work beer and scratchings session.

This used to be one of London,s Iconic pubs. In the seventies and eighties there were five bars and a smart restaurant. Now there is only one functioning bar serving pub food and snacks. The rest of the building has been neglected by the present owners who do not appear to be trying to keep it going to the same level it used to be. However I still call in when I am in the area and the place still has a friendly atmosphere, and good staff. They serve a god selection of real beers along with the usual proprietary brands. The food is good and varied, and very reasonably priced. I would recommend it as a good place to meet friends or for a business lunch. it is well situated for rail and bus stops and the West End is twenty minutes by car and less on the tube.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon and was amazed to find it had hardly changed since my last visit 32 years ago! It was quiet with no football on tv and no loud music playing. We had the Sunday roast dinners which were delicious and were large portions. Roast dinner and pint of Sam Smiths bitter for £12, couldn't fault it!

Great to get an excellent pint of hand-pulled Sam Smiths OBBThe barstaff/manager were very helpful, friendly and knowledgeableDidnt have a meal but they looked good!

I stayed in a hotel near the Swiss Cottage tube stop. Ye Olde Swiss Cottage is right there when you emerge to the street level. The Swiss cottage themed architecture seemed kind of corny in a residential London neighborhood, not what I would have expected for a typical pub, so I didn't think much of going inside. My trip plans made an early evening quick dinner necessary, and in this neighborhood there aren't a lot of options, so I gave Ye Olde Swiss Cottage a try. Inside it was a warm and friendly English Pub. Good service, good beer and pub food that was tasty and well prepared. Price was about what I would have expected to pay for a pint and plate of pub food in London. Locals were friendly and I left quite satisfied with my choice.

Nice friendly place. Not a wide choice but Welcoming . Old fashioned pub with friendly European staff. Recently improved food menu.

Been here a couple of times now and found it to be a proper little gem in the middle of a busy area. The staff are great and the beer/ciders are awesome (Samuel Smith I believe).I'll be visiting again in Feb and can not wait for my couple of hours in the Cottage!!!

Right at the tube stop and the Swiss cottage look seemed kind of corny in a London residential neighborhood. Initially I avoided it but gave it a try as having dinner near my hotel (not a lot of other options) fit my plans. Inside I was pleasantly surprised. Very clean and sort of classic pub decor and friendly staff who worked efficiently. Food was pub food but tasty and well prepared. Not expensive, about what I expected to pay for a plate of food and a pint. All in all good pub experience and adequate for dinner unless you were expecting an upscale meal.

I offen come here to meet friends on business occasions. This pub is certainly underrated. It's friendly and welcoming the atmosphere is relaxed. Food and bar snacks are delicious and fairly well priced. Ample room for families socialising and huge range of tables both inside and out. Recommended for all

この近辺は、地価が高いためか、チェーンのお店が多い中、ローカルパブとして頑張ってると思います。ガーデンもあるんですが、とにかく、交通量が多い道と道の間にあるため騒音と排気ガスで、せっかくの外飲みも台無しな感じが非常にもったいない。ビールは、オーガニックビールなど珍しいものも各種取り揃えているので、仕事帰りに一杯立ち寄る程度のパブという位置づけでしょうか？

We had tickets to a play so we took the Jubilee Line, all the way across London from our 'home' tube station, Southwark, to the Swiss Cottage tube stop. It took us less than 20 minutes to cross this enormous city by underground train, which was impressive. Once we departed the underground via Exit 2, we emerged onto Finchley Road and were but a few steps away from the Swiss Cottage Pub. The Hampstead Theatre is right around the corner, so everything is close to one another.We opted for a pre-theatre snack at the pub. The architecture makes you think that someone long ago removed a real Swiss cottage and placed it in this London suburb. The building's exterior is fashioned like a genuine Alpine cottage whereas the inside is a typical pub. Staff and customers alike are relaxed and friendly. The menu is a good one for a pub. It is varied and you can have a light or full meal. We had two large bowls of homemade creamy tomato soup followed by a sticky toffee pudding and a raspberry chocolate brownie. No ales this time or we would have slept through the play, but there are plenty of ales available as well as hard liquor and wine. Our meals cost an affordable 10 pounds each.

Although this is very close to where I live, I have not been there much. It used to be a really run down old pub without much life in it but my last visit during a sunny day when I stopped by for a pint under the sun in the garden I was positively surprised. Probably changed hands since I can now see many people sitting in the garden and enjoying the variety of beers on offer. Might worth another visit.

Popped in here while working away as we'd driven past and though it looked really unique. Inside was dinghy and the room at the back smelt very very very much of sweat and body odor. We sat outside with our drinks and were approached by two complete fruit loops coming out of the pub. One of them dribbling everywhere and the other swiftly declothed himself infront of us to show off his tattoos - err nice can see the sort of people that come in here

Ye Olde Swiss Cottage is situated at a tube stop along the main bus lines we used along Finchley Road. We feared it was full of cuckoo clocks, dirndl dresses and lederhosen. Not so. It was a comfortable local English style pub with very good food and drink, ordered from the bar with several inside nooks and a large outdoor area. It was perfect after a day of site seeing.
