On a narrow bend by Hampstead Heath - where the danger of being knocked down by a school-run mum is as real to today's visitor as was being hijacked in Dick Turpin's day - you'll see signs proclaim 'Spaniards Inn 1565 AD' (said inn now stands by a large car park). They say Turpin was born here in 1705, a century before Keats wrote 'Ode to a Nightingale' in the beer garden.
The range of beers (Sierra Nevada, St Austell Tribute, Adnams Broadside, London Pride, Franziskaner and others) are as big an attraction as any historic tie-in, as is the huge outdoor eating area. The food menu might include Barnsley chops with Greek salad; the cheese plate favours this green and pleasant land. Expect a tussle for tables on bank holiday weekends.

To begin, the menu was almost empty - hardly anything was left. The staff were rude. The toilets had bloody tissues and tampon wrappers on the ground, the toilet doors had no locks. The food took forever and my supposedly medium rare steak (£16.75) came out well done and dry. The rosemary potatoes had never seen rosemary in their life! My friends halloumi salad was a disgrace, it was so over cooked she couldnt cut the deep fried halloumi and it was cold and bland. The satff couldnt have cared less, and frankly they were a bit rude! I will never ever go here again.
Lovely old pub, just as dog-friendly as I'd read, good choice of beers and the food was excellent. Friendly staff too.
Not even worth one star. When we ordered food they said 35 mins, at 45mins someone came over and said sorry we forgot about you. Then the manager denied they had forgotten, 10mins later we got cold fish and chips. Toilets we dirty and need repairs. Not going back!
Stopped in here after a ramble on the Heath with our dog last Sunday. After being told the pub was "very dog friendly" we happily entered into the warmth and hubbub to wait for a spare table to come up. After a long wait and engaging in some table warfare with other patrons we finally were invited to share a table with a nice couple. Worth the wait though - delicious hearty roast meals were just what we were after. Loved the atmosphere that the open fire and low ceiling created. And the dog loved it too! Will be back, but hopefully to avoid the late afternoon rush of walkers.
