  The sharing platters of fried chicken and beery cheesy chips are to die for. Along with a good selection of beers, whiskys and cocktails in a really nice setting it’s a must visit in West Hampstead. theculturemag.com

  The Gallery has a lovely setting and really great staff – that and some pretty good reviews were hopefully going to make for a decent Sunday roast, always such a civilised way to spend a day off from cooking.So, let’s just get down to it. As always I like to start with the positives, however depressingly few of them there are.As I first said, the two girls on duty were on form, as it were. Professional, cheerful and very good at their job. The atmosphere was sunny and the place bright and nicely laid out. The Italian Pinot Grigot blush was a very pleasant drop that had the palest hue and a fiercely dry finish to it. The gravy also made me very happy and when I asked for extra it was happily given.Here’s where it ends sadly. The beef was overdone and fatty, the carrots, whilst sweet were cold, the cabbage nearly raw, the chicken dry, the Yorkshires burned. Even the potatoes had no crunch on the outside – it was as though they were some sort of over sight.I was still hungry as I couldn’t finish my main so went for a starter of broad bean and pea puree with goat’s cheese. I’m sorry but what a bland offering it was. Nothing to lift it at all and I couldn’t wade my way through it.Our waitress was apologetic and the starter and coffee were on the house, but I’m still rather lost for words. I can’t for the life of me think how something this bad could emerge from a kitchen. I won’t be going back for more, that’s for sure. mindingbellieswell.blogspot.com

  A hidden gem right near the tube station, The Gallery features good eats and good cocktails. Over two stories, the Gallery’s top floor is really more of a cozy balconette that looks over the floor below. Unique and well crafted drinks.

  I used to love this tucked away little restaurant when I used to live around the corner. There were times we had a night of drinks and showed up again in the afternoon for brunch. They have a good variety of burgers, beer battered fish and chips as well as salads.If you plan to show up a bit late for just drinks, this place gets crowded and noisy real fast and someone just might knock over a glass of red on your white jumper, so always find a safe spot to sit. That being said, it is always one of my favourites in the area and a must check out.

  The Gallery is tucked away off West End Lane, and is one of the livelier places to go in West Hampstead for post-work drinks or a weekend booze-and-grub fest.It’s a cute space, with tables on a mezzanine upstairs, a large space in the basement and people sitting with their legs peeking through the windows when it’s sunny. Serving wine, a good selection of cocktails priced around 7 (or 5 until 10pm on their popular cocktail club Thursdays) and surprisingly good food, it delivers a winning formula.A great choice to accompany drinks is their tapas selection, which you can choose 4 of for 20. Particular favourites sampled there include crispy pulled pork croquettes, grilled halloumi with an incredible berry jam, sweet potato fries, and salt & pepper squid.The portion sizes are generous, so 4 between 2 of you is a LOT of food, but at a tenner each good value. Alternatively you can get 3 for 15.50. I haven’t tried their large plates (burgers, fishcakes and the likes) or Sunday roasts but if they are of similar quality you won’t be disappointed.
