| It's a beautiful art nouveau building that serves a wide selection of beers - including all the usual Fullers stuff. During the day you can have a nice quiet pint and some great food - they also do pretty good pizzas. I think the food is served until fairly late. The food will be good but's not cheap, particularly for the ares which has more than it's share of excellent Turkish restauranrs. last Friday of the month = Salisbury Circus. Live music in the back room (soul/funk/blues), everyone dancing - and it's completely free. If it's not your thing it's a big pub and you can just sit in the main area. I would say it's worth a trek even if you're not in North London - just get the tube to Manor House and head down Green Lanes! MarkAdrianCorbett - 6 Mar 2010 05:06 |
| One of the finest interiors of any pub in north London. The beer was good if expensive, although I would not go out of my way to consume any more Jack Frost this year. meurglys_iv - 13 Dec 2009 11:47 |
| A Fuller’s pub now I suppose, as there were only Fuller’s ales on when I visited on Saturday lunchtime, with the ubiquitous London Pride; Discovery; Gales HSB; and Jack Frost on. I didn’t see a pump for either Chiswick or ESB. As meltwaterfalls mentioned back in May, they do generally have two Litovel’s Czech lagers on, and these were both still on when I was in there. They also had on Aspall’s Suffolk Cider and Hooegarden. I went for the Fuller’s Jack Frost, which was my first pint of this seasonal brew this year, and although it was very good, it was also very expensive (in my opinion) at £3.40 a pint. The pub itself is an absolute tour de force of late Victorian interior pub decoration. It rightly features on the CAMRA inventory of heritage pubs. It really still is the big, rambling “gin palace” that it was in Victorian times. All the extravagant features are still in place, including the separate rooms, mahogany fittings, etched and cut glass everywhere, and the mosaic flooring is the best I’ve ever seen. It’s big enough that I’m sure it would take a couple of hundred people in there to make it look crowded. The service was friendly enough, once I had followed the sound of voices to the bar where the only barmaid was working. There was a food menu, but it was a bit too “gastro” for what I fancied at the time. Sometimes you don’t want anything too fancy, and I didn’t fancy paying nearly £9 for a burger or £3.25 for some chips. The pub was empty on Saturday lunchtime, but I suppose it might be a very different place in the evening. In any case, it’s certainly worth a visit to see what a Victorian gin palace looked like in all its glory. RexRattus - 12 Dec 2009 18:31 |
| Fantastic architectural twin of the Queen's in Crouch End, but bigger, more spacious and more impressive. We had the best pub food we have ever had in here - rib-eye steak and sausage and mash - and the prices were reasonable too. There was also some very odd pear cider on offer with 'blueberry', from the Channel Islands. It was literally lumious turqoise (didn't taste as bad as it looked)! I am a big fan of this place, but it can have a bit of a cold atmosphere with all the uncomfortable seating, spaciousness and hard surfaces. Check out the Beaconsfield down the road (opposite the station and Sainsbury's) for more impressive Victiorian features but a cosier (although grottier) atmosphere (but no food).

| As has been mentioned, this is a good looking pub with some interesting beers and the full Fullers range. The service that I received was woeful, but that seems to be the norm in these big island bar pubs with ‘hotel’ tagged on the end. It is the first time that I have been into a pub and had an alco pop spilt over me by the pot boy, an apology would have been nice. I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink here again.
