As usual this pub is warm and friendly. We use to go there at least once a week ton either enjoy a beer, a sweet treat or for their perfect Sunday Roast.
Food menu is complete and the soup of the chef is always perfect !
Sunday is also the quiz day. Fun ! -

Some places have bad food.
Some places have bad service.
This place has both.
This is a bar. It is not a pub. Nothing wrong with that. Drinks and some sport is fine but that is all this place does remotely well. -

This is a cute pub in West Hampstead. We had a large party and luckily the Black Lion took reservations. The pub itself is cute with a great patio. I had a Pimm's, which was very tasty. We tried many different dishes between the 6 of us including the fish and chips, the saffron risotto, the various dips with bread, the ravioli, and the duck salad. The food was a bit of a mixed bag. The risotto was not super flavorful and the duck salad was dry. The rest of the food was good, especially the ravioli...those were amazingly tasty. If you're in the neighborhood, this is a good place to stop.
PS the price points were a bit high, but not outrageous. -

Very confusing that there are two Black Lion pubs in West Hampstead, but luckily I made it to the right one for our Xmas do ;) The ambience is nice and the table were decorated with crackers, poppers, and my personal favourite, little solo menu cards!
I was a bit sceptical of the only veggie main on the special Xmas menu, but ordered it with good grace. When the tagine arrived I was knocked out; the subtlety and taste were excellently done and I could have eaten all of it, were I not saving myself for the sticky toffee pudding (which was gloriously sweet and sticky and yes toffee-ee!!)
Small gripe is that the loos are definitely in need of TLC - basically a refurb is crucial for this place to hold its own in this rather posh area! The staff were attentive, despite the place being chocka and I felt like were were treated perfectly. Lovely-jubbly :) -

My experience with the Black Lion Nw6 is limited. Had a pint in the back patio area. Suffice to say the selection of beers is good and the inside and outside seating is copious and attractive. The amount of front terrace and back patio seating is truly a distinguishing feature. The inside atmosphere is welcoming and warm. Didn't get to experience the menu, but hope to rectify this soon.
