Very nice young lady who served us. Decent Chardonnay which is unusual in local pubs. Apart from one table ( which was down to messy customer ) the pub was clean. Which again is unusual in local pubs. Will definitely go back.

This is a fantastic little pub. The landlady Katie is extremely friendly and welcoming, and some of the rest of the stuff. Fantastic part of Guinness Beergarden in the rear is really nice. They don’t serve food here as it’s a small pub but there are lots of snacks on a Sunday lunchtime all for free.

'Regular Customers Only' Not sure why anyone is reviewing this pub as 'welcoming' or 'friendly'... There a sign in the door stating 'Regular Customers Only'. This may or may not be legal, I don't know - although the management seems keen enough to spread their tables onto the public highway, maintained at the cost of all taxpayers, not just their 'regulars'. This sign has appeared a number of times over the past couple of years (I think they've been told to remove the sign on occasion, but it has gone up again at a later date). Whether legal and 'their right' to do this or not, it's…

Been going to this pub on and off for the last 20 years, not regularly since the 90s - when it used to be a solid traditional old man pub, definitely dipped through the years but now really good. Live music at times - can be a trifle loud for a small pub, but lots of nice touches these days. Very cosy

A lovely well-run pub, with nice locals. Really enjoyed watching the north London derby there in a friendly and good humoured atmosphere!
