The Flask, Hampstead

First time having Sunday roast in Hampstead and first time for my friends from abroad to have Sunday roast, scotch egg and sausage roll EVER. Great food, friendly staff and lovely location in a small bustling alley near cafes and ice cream shops, tucked away from the main high street. Do note that they have two entrances - one side for drinking and one side for more spacious restaurant seating. We were able to book the night before for a 12 noon slot and were given really spacious seating. It gets more crowded towards 1pm, but has a very comfortable and vintage vibe. We were worried about the food being oily from other reviews but it wasn't at all. Portions of the roast were very filling. We got the roast beef and pork - it was all around wonderful. Before the roast, we ordered scotch eggs, sausage roll and fries whilst waitng for our friend. Those were delicious too. According to one of my friends, these were the best fries she ever had. To quote my friends from abroad - "Feels like a typical English pub experience. Wish we could have visited more often." Will definitely be back again!

I come to the flask fairly frequently, mainly just for drinks, but came for a late lunch on my last visit. I had the fish and chips and my partner had the sausage and mash (we've both had these before). The fish was nice and crispy and the sausage and mash were OK, but the portion size seems to have become smaller, whilst the prices are almost eye watering for pub food. I would recommend, but I'm not convinced those dishes were worth nearly £20 each to be honest.
