| "The best pub around crouch end and finsbury park by a country mile" You have got to be joking, what about the 'Railway Tavern', 'Haringey Arms', 'Faltering Fullback' It's a lovely building, but that is all I can say in it's favour. And the 'Larrick' threatening!!! you really should venture into the real world dalglish - 25 Nov 2008 15:24 |
| Good food, but overpriced by 20-25%. Service has picked up a bit recently, this place used to be *shocking* for under-staffing the bar. As previous comments have said, they have a habit of serving a (very) short pint. Note to Old Dairy management : Stop being so TIGHT. urbanite55 - 19 Oct 2008 12:41 |
| My gripe about this otherwise charming boozer is that they often seem to dispense short measure. When you are paying £3.20 a pint you expect a pint. Rarely. This is a common problem these days with untrained bar staff. But on the occasion when I complained and asked for a top-up at the Old Dairy some months ago, the barmaid rudely informed me that this was how the manager had instructed her to serve the beer - far from a full glass. I hope not - if it happens again I'll be off to Trading Standards. mikefromlondon - 5 Oct 2008 00:21 |
| what or who are 'dorito advert types'? my wife and i live around the corner and visit the old dairy quite a lot. the food is excellent, especially for a pub; the atmosphere is laid back and the crowd seem to be comprised of 30 something media types - very crouch end. on my last visit simon pegg was in here with his little dog - and i've seen alan carr in here before. i agree with the last reviewer about the beer (they always have some good bitters on), and the fact the pub is less threatening than the larrik (i'd go as far as to say the place isn't threatening in the slightest!). i'm not saying its the best pub in london, not by a long way, but in my humble opinion its the best pub around crouch end and finsbury park by a country mile!! rhood - 3 Sep 2008 15:38 |
| Not as good as it could be - seems to perhaps have delusions of grandeur associated with the gastro grub. The music is too loud, it's a bit dark and there are a few too many 'Dorito's advert' types for my liking. That said, the beer's pretty good and the atmos is less threatening than the Larrik over the road. BlueSteel - 2 Sep 2008 17:51 |
