This place was boarded up when I went past on the bus the other day.

Nothing really remarkable about the place but good enough for a pint when watching the football in a friendly atmosphere.

I've visited here occasionally for years. Its ok but they never have more than one real ale on and often dont have any on at all.

We visited last weekend to partake of the "great menu", only to find that they no longer serve food.
It's a shame as we really enjoyed the meals that used to be offered when we last visited.

A very relaxed atmosphere with a great menu which provide's something for everyone.Also a great special's board with a good selection of fresh fish at a very good price,would recomend it to every one.Also check out the tree in the resturant.

The Thursday night quiz was brilliant, but I think they ditched it when they went up-market! :(

Used to be a decent down to earth boozer Sky Sports pool tables etc but now seems to have been taken over and turned into a gastro pub for the yuppies who are pricing the folk who have lived there all their lives out of the area.The expression mutton dressed up as lamb not the best place to leave at night with the drunks and muggers who inhabit the park across the road.Doesnt really suit the area if you want a gastro pub check out Crouch End

Previously one of those pubs I'd spent a lot of time walking past without giving a second thought to. Have revised this attitude after seeing some of the comments brought on by the recent refurb and found it well worth my while, especially for someone who is prepared to walk further than the end of his road if it gets him to a real ale pump.

A great pub that stands out with its tasteful interior, excellent food and good selection of wine & real ales. The attention to detail is impressive, with a well balanced menu including fresh seafood, tradional game, and vegetarian dishes. Friendly service as well. If only my local was like that! Must visit again.

Excellent food, great wine and a massive selection of beer, without a doubt my new local! The new refurb looks awsome. Guaranteed an enjoyable night out - well done!

Decent boozer, landlord a right cheeky-chappy - full of gags and chat who loves talking about Beckham, birds and beer. A bit of a cross between a second hand car dealer and Chris Tarrant. Worth a visit to the pub alone to check out his silver tongue.

Sunday roasts all day, fantastic. I went at four o'clock on Sunday 21st Nov with five other friends and we all had great meals. At last a pub that can serve good roast potatoes. The wine was superb and a bargain.The music was good too.
