As a postcode, NW5 is rare in London for many reasons – as most readers will testify. But it’s also one of the few areas where the pub and hotel group Young’s have three pretty fabulous watering holes: the Lion & Unicorn on leafy Gaisford Street, the Lord Palmerston up in the heights where Tufnell meets Dartmouth Park, and the iconic Bull & Gate right in the heart of Kentish Town.
We all know what a tough time hospitality has had this year – and so what better than buying festive vouchers for friends and family? The perfect gift for every pub-lover, the vouchers can be spent on cocktails with friends at, say, the Bull & Gate’s glam upstairs Boulogne Bar (our main pic, above), a famous Sunday roast at the cosy Lion, or post-Heath walk pints at the Palmerston.
Further afield, they can even be spent on up to 200 Young’s establishments, including romantic retreats in country hotels.
As it’s unbelievably our 11th birthday this week – not to mention Black Friday weekend – we’ve teamed up with Young’s so that if you buy a £50 or £100 voucher you’ll receive a free £10 or £20 bonus voucher to spend on yourself in the New Year. Cheers!
But be quick, this offer is only available for three days over the Black Friday weekend, ends Monday 29th November. Buy vouchers now.
What’s on this Christmas in NW5?
Bull & Gate
Step into Christmas at The Bull & Gate: Joe and the team have got the wine mulling, the fire roaring and mouth-watering festive meals which take centre stage on their menus. Each room of the beautiful Victorian pub is unique. The light and airy dining room at the back of the pub is ideal for tucking into their three-course Christmas feast and a magnum of bubbly. Their drinks menu boasts one of the best espresso martinis in North London. Trust us.
If you’re looking for a private space, don’t look past the Boulogne Bar. Head up to the famous cocktail bar on the first floor for a cosy night in this decadent bar, or privately hire the whole room for your Christmas party. If you’re looking to push the sleigh out, treat yourselves to a spot of Beer or G&T Pong.
