The Flask, Highgate

The Flask is a well-known ‘North London institution’. Dating back to 1663, it sits unobtrusively at the back of Highgate’s main street and gets its name from the flasks that people used to collect water in from the springs across Hampstead and Highgate.

It’s had, and still has, its fair share of well-known people adorn its tables with Byron, Shelley and Keats all reputed to be regular visitors during its lifetime.

It’s a cosy, family-(and dog-) friendly pub today with an authentic fireplace adding to the atmosphere. It offers a broad pub menu featuring refined pub classics crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients including Salt-baked beetroot tartare, Brazilian mixed seafood stew, and the usual pub favourites – sausage and mash, fish and chips and a varied Sunday roast line-up.
