Mossy Well, Muswell Hillback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Very pleasant 'spoons. Unfortunately not many ales on at noon Thursday but the Daleside Monkey Wrench, 5.3%, was excellent.

Back to the present and I started off a visit to North and Central London with a breakfast and a pint. It's a Wetherspoon's pub bang in the centre of Muswell Hill. The exterior is inviting and the interior is fairly spotless and spread over a couple of floors. A nicer drinking environment than most of the chain. The regular ales are Greene King IPA & Abbot, Sharp's Doom Bar & Fuller's London Pride. Guests as part of Wetherspoon's London beer festival being held this week - Kelham Island Pale Rider, Portobello Central Line Red, Exmoor Beast, Wolf Granny Wouldn't Like It, Signature Brew Session, Cronx Yallah Mild & Windsor and Eton Guardsman & Lumberjack. The real cider was Old Rosie. Locals were commenting that it was busier than normal and there were a fair few in.

Very Pleasant surprise for a Wetherspoons pub.
Nice and spacious, looks always spotless.
I have used this pub around four times now, and always the Ales are in perfect Nick, itself an eye-opener for much of North London's Wetherspoons.
This pub does seem to have much more up-market clients than other local Wetherspoons, but none of the local snobbishness.
Food is perfect, and you can see it being cooked.
All in all a pleasant change for a Chain Pub.

Nice spacious two-level refurb with covered patio at the rear, good selection of ales (that's me happy), food looked basic but all cheap as chips. The curtain-twitchers and muesli-munchers in N10 will be deterred by Wetherspoons clientele but no loss there - they can all carry on ruining The Clissold Arms! If you don't like Wetherspoons, there's nothing here that will change your mind but I happily put up with all their flaws for the great range of pwopa ale at rock-bottom prices. The Red Rye ale was a treat! A work in progress. I think it will be a runaway (to the point, perhaps, of even being a victim of its own) success
