this place is getting worse probably owing to the average age of the clientel--getting younger by the day,,keep away on a sunday as the place resembles a kindergarten

Visited this pub on Saturday, 4 November. I thought it was much better than the usual run of Wetherspoons. Admittedly it was during the day but it struck me as a good example of a 'local' pub.
The range of real ales was limited as they were expecting a delivery following the end of the festival. However, they had some good deals on curries, which we ordered, and the receipt showed 'New Curry Club'.
Staff were quick and efficient. To me, probably not to others who read this, it was enjoyable drinking in here.

This pub had at least 3 flat panel TVs, and had widescreen properly set up, unlike many other pubs that just stretch the picture, even on the widescreen channels.
Well done, Mr Wetherspoon! Find out more about my pub widescreen campaign at www.radiofeeds.co.uk/wide

i take it thailand works for wetherspoons, i have sent emails to them and never got a reply and i know of others who have the same lack of response, as for prices all wetherspoons seem to be the same,,,,so what makes the byng special ? well i suppose it is special for 15 to 17 year olds since they can get served without any trouble

Yes, its basically a good pub and the drink prices are to be rivalled - thats wetherspoons policy, and its a great one. But let me enlighten you to a recent experience, all leading to how they make it all back on food. An all day breakfast costs 1.99 (great value I know) but on the new menu you can now buy an all day brunch. The all day brunch consisits the exact same ingredients except one; chips. What would charge for the extra potato pleasure? 50p? as splashed all over the menu for the privelage,NO!, 2.50 extra is the new renamed all day brunch surplus you can and will be expected to pay. I've had apologies from wetherspoons and they have passed my comments to the catering dept.. but alas said I paid the price on the menu so tough. Please anyone who feels this is wrong please send an e-mail through thier website (www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk) and follow the easy link to thier e-mail complaints, your guarenteed to get a response within 4 days.I know I'd sure appreciate it, and it will help to stop this kind of profiteering.

Just like to say I had a great night again last night in this pub after work. And was lucky enough to get the chance to see the famous s Barnes, who always seems to make this pub a pleasure to drink in.

I personally feel that with out this pub in Potters Bar it would be a very quite town, and think that this pub has done a great deal to provide the town with a great deal of pleasure. I have been to this pub on many occassions and always fell a warm feeling in there. Friendly locals such as Steve Barnes who is a credit to the town as well as the pub. Keep up the good work

agree with jurg, sometimes with kids under age (i know this for a fact since live in area), sometimes resembles a kindergarten,a typical wetherspoons in regard the total ignorance of wetherspoons policy in that children should have a meal (unless a bag of cheese n onion crisps is a meal), the beer range is very poor , alas though near the station so handy, mr jd (tim)needs to do better

As winter approaches this pub is sure to offer a great range of novelty nights including drink promotions and bar promotions including Halloween. I cant wait ! I was in here a few days back and the staff all dressed up it was great just like the price of the drinks. The bar stools are a bit grubby and they could do with a few more !

This pub is a great pub on a friday, Cheap Drink, Livley, Good Location. You may even see Steve Barnes one of the most famous pub crawlers of Potters Bar

This pub is nice, cheap, good food (although I fear standards are slightly slipping at present). Friendly, Jovial bar staff (except that miserable chinese woman) and usually a nice friendly atmosphere.. does tend to fill up with chav morons on a friday or saturday night, but it's to be expected of pretty much everywhere these days..

I first came upon the Admiral Byng when visiting a friend in nearby Cuffley. Its pleasant glow shone forth across Darkes Lane beckoning me towards it like a moth to a bright shiny light. Once in there they have a tremendous selection of fine ales and oktober fest is well represented, yes its a chain but these allows the prices t be reasonable rather than the rtificially high tabs in other local bars. Curry night is also well worth a peek. As for the students, they're alright bit rowdy sometimes though. I say bravo to the Byng!

i totally disagree wiht the above comments, the Byng provide a homely and fullfilling atmosphere with lots of virile young men and women. wednesday nights have a "special" theme provided by the athletic totty of the local vet school. experience of a hot sweaty wednesday night is essential for any sleezy old man... you know who you are!

Full of drunks by day, kids by night. Promise of a good range of beers - lucky if your get one decent pint before it runs out!
Safe if you're a lager lout.

This pub is a joke. After casually ordering five pints of fosters for my four chums and i, i was forcibly ejected from the premises! I believe the word is grievious.
