The Alliance has been a core part of Mill Lane life since 1826 and boasts a rich history and heritage. Now, after a brief period of restoration, the pub has reopened under the management of Hampstead-born brothers Ben and Ed, their childhood friend Adam and Scott Soteriou . The boys have given the beloved local pub a new lease of life, with a brilliant bar offering, relaxed, vibrant spaces and a food menu that shows off pub grub at its best. You could even manage a mini pub crawl between their other Local Pubs The Duke of Hamilton (Hampstead) & The Clifton (St Johns Wood).

Quite good but room for improvement. Meal was slightly overdone. Impenetrable crackling, well done yorkshire puds, roasties had that re-heated taste all solved adequately with copious amounts of tasty gravy, so not a problem.

Was not aware that dogs were allowed , we were not asked before placing our reservation . Had to ask where our lunch was after at least 20mins . No bottles of house wine only carafes from a box !! Roast beef very chewy , and difficult to cut . Not worth £26 ! Real shame as The Clifton is great , we have never had a bad meal . This is why we came here . But sadly will not be returning .
