The Bull and Last

"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. Expect plenty of locals, a great selection of cask ales, and a Sunday roast that we’d maybe (definitely) sell our souls for." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna

"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

"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

"If you have a dog to walk then try Parliament Hill, before having lunch at the dog-friendly Bull & Last." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

"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. Lovely bedrooms and a friendly team complete the picture." - Michelin Inspector
