About The Southampton Arms
On Highgate Rd, The Southampton Arms is a pub built around a long bar with a guaranteed minimum of 18 beers and ciders on tap, including cask ales from rotating UK breweries. The roast pork bap turns up regularly as a Sunday order, and the balsamic pickled egg sits alongside it as a bar snack. It's a walk-in pub, no reservations, with a fireplace and a garden adding to the small interior. Live piano nights bring 40s and 50s records into the mix as well. Pints run around £5 to £6.

“Absolutely incredible atmosphere going on, and the food and drinks are well priced. Was served by Ashleigh and she was so patient and enthusiastic, really knew her stuff when it came to what was on the menu. Definitely will be returning!”

“Unbelievable pub. They just don't make them like this anymore. Would recommend a Sunday afternoon pint with the roast pork bap. Space inside is small and intimate, so be prepared to chat with locals and visitors. They also have an excellent cider selection, which is worth working your way through.”

“A lovely spot. Wonderful garden and interior. Great beverage selection. Lovely staff as well. My one and only gripe was with the lack of lock on the bathroom stall. But I shall be returning.”

“Excellent ale house with great beer and food. And it looks like Nighthawks on a quiet Monday evening - what's not to love?”

Customer Review Summary
The hot roast pork bap is the dish reviewers return to most, and one calls it a Sunday classic after a walk around Hampstead. Close behind is the beer list, with rotating UK brewery taps, cask Kölsch and Mild singled out, and a cider selection one reviewer suggests working your way through. Live piano nights and 40s and 50s records leave one reviewer feeling transported back in time, and a balsamic pickled egg gets a mention too. Staff are described as lovely, patient and welcoming, and several reviewers call the prices good. The interior is small and intimate, and one reviewer advises being prepared to chat with locals and visitors. Complaints are minor and isolated. One reviewer found no lock on the bathroom stall, and another hoped for a lit fireplace and no screaming toddlers on the next visit. One reviewer says the pub looks like Nighthawks on a quiet Monday evening.
