| in the last few months this place has really gone down the shitter. they've lost their chef, one of their barmaids and a fair few punters if my last few visits were anything to go by. midweek it's like a morgue! staff are scruffy and unproffessional and the last few times the ale hasnt tasted right. a shame, because it was really good. one to avoid from now on.

| Having just moved to Barnet, we decided to try the Monken Holt on Sunday. We found the Monk to be a very friendly traditional pub with plenty of real ales (I highly recommend the Sharps Doombar) and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her (bottle of) Merlot a little bit too much if you ask me! We both had a roast beef dinner which was hard to improve on and apple pie to follow. The bar staff were very friendly and even though the pub was busy with football etc, they always had a smile for you. Very welcoming. We will definitely be back and would recommend the pub to anyone.

| Best pub in the area by a country mile and much improved since the Irish guy was put in charge. Popped in last Sunday for their weekly jam night and the place was rammed. (Talent varies but usually a good mix). The food is worth trying, always fresh and very reasonable. No idea what the previous reviewer is on about. They must be confusing a roll-up with a spliff because the staff here have eyes like hawks and you'd never get away with smoking anything illegal in their garden. Very kid friendly during the day.

| Great pub if you don't mind the staff and customers freely smoking drugs around you in the beer garden. I won't be bringing my family back in future. D.J. - 19 Apr 2011 15:57 |
| This is a friendly pub where you see people of all ages mixing together. I've been three times now, on different days of the week. Once on a Thursday for a steak meal. That was a huge meal, good quality too for the silly price of about £7 if I remember rightly. The wine selection was good too and not badly priced for the quality. The next time I popped in was to catch a band and see what the crowd was like on a Saturday. It was straight after an England match in the World Cup and thought there would be nothing more telling about the pub than what is was like after a big World Cup match. What a great night! The pub was full of people who may well have been out all day due to the football, but they were very well behaved and spent the night enjoying themselves. The live music wasn't a band as such but a really good duo, guy on guitar and a woman singing a really nice range of songs. Nothing heavy but a good mix. The punters seemed to enjoy it. If this act was placed where the bands usually go though, I can see why people have made comments as there was just enough room for the duet. I also returned a couple of weeks ago for the open mic night that a couple of the regulars told me about. It's not just an open mic night, it's a fully fledged jam night with muscians, singers, dummers the lot. There's a little bit of Barnet that has a lot of talent. It was also mildly amusing to watch teenage boys having a go at prog rock and doing very well at it too. Really very recommended. Crawler1966 - 5 Jul 2010 12:52 |
