    Staff are beyond lovely and accommodating. I'm vegan and quite picky about textures so I tend to be the headache of the party. But they are always so nice, helpful, and understanding. I've had their vegan pie once and their vegan burger twice. I prefer the burger but I'd be happy to see their vegan menu expand in the future. I tried their vegan ice cream as well but it was much too sweet for me.

    as usual from the minute you walk in you are greeted with the most friendiest staff, and this service lasts throughout your stay, whether you are there for a meal or just popped in for a pint. Megan looked after us on our last two visits and was exceptional.

  • 4/5 Leaon M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very clean. Nice staff. Can accommodate events for births and receptions/wakes for funerals. Two separate car parks, but the bays in the smaller car park aren't very big.

    Food here has always been lovely, we live local and come here so often. It’s our first choice always when we want pub grub, but unfortunately our last two visits for food have been disappointing, I don’t know who or what has happened but both times after biting into food the middle was stone cold, rushed & just chucked together, quite a shame as we love this little pub, hopefully food becomes great again soon :) staff are ALWAYS pleasant and very very polite all the time, no fault with any staff member , always feel welcome and here.. :)

  • 2/5 patrick h. 1 year ago on Google
    Ok. Just found it loud. Asked the barstaff if they could turn the music down. Apparently they couldn't! It actually got louder. Met a group of old friends. Literally had to shout to each other, on a quiet Wednesday night.!!! For a local pub on an estate ,. Its not Broad Street !

    Something as changed at the Hamstead, unfortunately not for the good,.. last week we were served burnt food which had to be sent back, again this week burnt food sent back but replaced with still frozen in the middle substitute. Shame really cuz it's a lovely pub with great friendly staff.

    There after a funeral but haven't been there in many years and what a lovely pub it is. Nice staff and they provided a fine buffet of hot and cold food. Would go again as I'm sure their meals would be very good quality

  • 4/5 Pat K. 1 year ago on Google
    I always enjoy an evening at the Hamstead or an afternoon lunch with my friend to catch up on family gossip. Added bonus it's across the road from my house.

  • 5/5 Andrew W. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly atmosphere pleasant staff clean nice pint never had food but looks nice

  • 3/5 Amanda H. 2 years ago on Google
    The sports doesn't work half the time which is pretty annoying when you're watching football etc. Quite pricey here for drinks compared to 90% of the pubs in the area. Most of the staff are nice and the foods quite good and good value for money.

  • 4/5 Mark W. 2 years ago on Google
    Quick service and tasty food. Chicken Katsu curry was very good. Uses the My Pub application so you can order food and drink to your table. Lost one star as not sure listing the Ales available as simply Ale 1, Ale 2, Ale 3, etc was particularly helpful as not obvious what you were ordering
