Join us for a classic Sunday experience: a roast lunch at The Spaniards Inn, followed by an optional walk through the beautiful Hampstead Heath. Enjoy traditional British fare and the historic charm of one of London’s most storied pubs.

NSH Sunday Roast & Walk through Hampstead Heath

Steeped in history, The Spaniards Inn is one of London’s oldest pubs, dating back to 1585. Once a tollgate between Hampstead and Finchley, it has welcomed poets, writers, and travellers for centuries — including Dickens and Byron. Keats is said to have composed Ode to a Nightingale in its gardens, while Bram Stoker drew on one of the pub’s ghost stories when writing Dracula. With its creaking beams, open fires, and tales of resident spirits, it offers a truly characterful setting for a Sunday gathering.

Each roast is served with a Yorkshire pudding, thyme-roasted potatoes, buttered Savoy cabbage, leeks, and roasted root vegetables. Please select your menu choice when signing up.

Meat options (£28):

• Rump of beef – with red wine gravy
