The Bull and Last

On the Grid : The Bull & Last

"Just across the road from the Heath you’ll find this wonderful pub and restaurant serving sensational food in a cosy wood panelled interior. Dogs are allowed in the downstairs bar which is good news for dog walkers heading from the Heath, while upstairs dining is a little more formal. Booking is recommended although a row of small tables and stools near the bar are left unreserved for walk-ins. On warm days the bench tables outside offer a great drinking spot in the sunshine." - Chrissie Macdonald & Andrew Rae

Where To Eat Near London's Best Lidos and Swimming Spots - London - The Infatuation

"Swim and pint. Pint and swim. While probably not condoned by any lifeguards, it’s a glorious combination. For a cold one after an arguably colder swim in the ponds, head to proper part-pub part-restaurant The Bull & Last and warm up with a Sunday roast." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna

"Hearty British dishes which are big on flavour are the order of the day at this sympathetically refurbished Victorian pub. The ground floor bar has a lively buzz and the more sedate first floor dining room opens later in the week. The terrific mushroom tempura is a prime example of what this kitchen does well: straightforward, moreish dishes that come in generous portions. Lovely bedrooms and a friendly, attentive team complete the picture." - Michelin Inspector

The 14 Best Sunday Roasts In London - London - The Infatuation

"The Sunday roasts at the Bull & Last are legendary. The roasts of lamb rump or beef come served with all their accompaniments in one big glorious pile, covered in gravy and topped with a crispy yorkshire. There’s a great selection of cask ales, and the atmosphere is as pure traditional boozer as they come. It gets busy, so book well ahead, and don’t forget to trudge up Parliament Hill like an asthmatic hippo for the view afterwards." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley

7 Pubs With Outdoor Seating & Outstanding Food To Book Now - London - The Infatuation

"A pub, a pint, and a great big plate of roast beef overlooking Hampstead Heath is what we need ASAP, and you probably do too. The Bull & Last is easily the best gastropub around the Heath (though if you’re just looking for a pint and a pork bap, The Southampton Arms is down the road) and its menu of gastropub favourites is hard to resist. The scotch egg is strong, the fish and chips chunky, and the setting lovely." - jake missing
