About Hunter S

Massive animal heads and racy photographs in the toilets give a trendy edge to this buzzing pub.

At times during the latter half of 2022 cask beer has not been available here but the position of having one or two real ales seems to have steadied. Landlord is favourite. The operators also run The Englefield in N1. The food hours are not shown on their website and are based on info we received in 2021.

Renamed from the Perseverance in 2012 and with it then came the introduction of real ale. Why The Hunter S? per their website; "Hunter S Thompson knew good food and drink and that excess (here and there in our case…) makes for the good life. We love Hunter's idiosyncratic style and have decorated the pub with his signature oversized taxidermy, risqué artwork (ahem…) and a uniquely crafted copper ceiling. We think the great man would definitely approve and would stick around for at least a few drinks."

    I am never one to complain & I have attended this pub last year November 2023 and the food was amazing! But sadly, today we left without paying and told the manager who had a massive attitude that we were not happy. My partner has allergies, to which I told them he wanted meat no gravy with chips. After a 35 min wait time for our drinks then a further 55 minute wait time for food we were served. My partner has a lot of allergies, they brought his out with all the trimmings plus chips plus gravy. I informed the waitress that he could not have gravy as he has allergies, after waiting 55…

    Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was amazing. Had the Beef-Burger yesterday and a week ago the Fish&Chips. The burger (medium rare) was juicy and delicious. Highly recommend it. The fish was great as well, crispy, big portion.

    We've been trying to find the best local for Sunday Roast and I think we have a winner! Honestly, a good price, a huge amount of food, and extremely tasty. The beef was in nice thick slices and was super juicy and tender. Lately everywhere seems to serve very thin slices that are tough and dry. Yorkshires had a tender bottom and a crispy top, utter perfection. The sticky toffee pudding is delicious and fine to share between 2 people. The venue is gorgeous and the bathroom decor is risque and interesting. Only small criticism is the super sticky tables. The girl cleaned them again, but it…

    I like this pub because it is different from other pubs but still has the pub vibe and because it has Aperol on tap 🤩 beautiful and efficient. The decoration is very cool and the people at the bar super nice as well! I come here often and really enjoy it

    Darcy, Saki and Catherine were so lovely and such attentive staff. All three of them were superstars and clearly very capable barmaids. DARCY MAKES THE BEST ESPRESSO MARTINI FROM SCRATCH! speedy saki brought our orders out so fast. Wonderful experience all round.
