About De Beauvoir Arms
Food-centric pub with no music or TV, an adventurous Mediterranean menu and an extensive wine list.
Large corner Victorian pub which was the Jolly Farmers for more than a century until it acquired a poor reputation. The person who took it over called it the Dog & Dumplings, he looked through a list of pub names and chose that because there was only one other in the country.
In 2013 changed ownership and name from Northgate to De Beauvoir Arms and underwent a subtle refurbishment that has made the place into slightly more of a pub and slightly less of a restaurant. It's a single island bar pub opened out into one large bar with typical bare boards floor and open kitchen to the rear.
On the edge of the De Beauvoir Estate an area of architectural interest. The original De Beauvoir Arms was the name of a pub in Stamford Street, later the Trolley Stop, and the name survives in the ironwork even though it is no longer a pub. Operated by Stanley Pubs Ltd who run two other North London pubs.

A lively bar, to the point you probably wont find a place to sit if you come to get a drink on Friday or Saturday evening. There is quite a big outside area but they close it at 10pm. Nice vibe and people tho and a really cool area. They have a non alcoholic beer options which is great! We paid ~13£ for 2 beers (one regular and one 0%)

Service was standard. I had the Sunday roast beef. Food was not piping hot so got cold quickly. The food also needed salt, which to be fair they provide the salt and pepper so I guess you season it yourself? Not a fan of that. But the beef was tender and melt in your mouth. The atmosphere in the pub was nice, family friendly environment.

The De Beauvoir Arms on is a delightful food orientated pub offering a fine selection of keg beers, just one cask ale (today) and an exemplary wine list. Service is as good as anyone could hope for and the club chairs are very comfy. A super place to stop off and put the world to rights.

The place reeks of desperation, the fact the people eat meals in squalid conditions surrounded by people 6/7ft tall and can barely extend their arms to bring their fork to their mouth, just shows that. The people of the area couldn’t possibly fathom going spacing out a bit and going elsewhere. I only pass in here to go to the comedy above, but this place needs to be avoided. Unless you like extreme discomfort, palpable anxiety and having to literally scream to hear someone less than 20cm in front of you.

Great place to meet locals. Beers was fresh and delicious and the food was great. Had olives (£3.5) and chorizo (£9), best Spanish cuisine in town!
