| This Pub was closed for much needed refurbishment over the last few weeks but has now been redecorated & reopened. I Had a few pints in here on Saturday evening and it seems much better than before by 100%. Gone are the Pool Table & Dart board on the left hand side as you walk in which has been made into a much better quieter Seating Drinking & eating area making the place feel much more friendly and less rough. I found the staff and other customers very welcoming & polite. Theres still a few large screen TVs for football Etc so its best avoided when theres sport on if your going in for a meal or quite group meeting. Theres Three hand Pumps available with Green King IPA on Two And Old Speckled Hen on the other Prices are very reasonable for Ales & Food with a good selection on the Menu. I would say its definitely worth a visit if passing and I will call in again when I'm passing Alesonly - 27 Feb 2011 10:28 |

| I went in here a few Months back that was a bad mistake there was only around five other People in and place at around 20.00 Hrs on a Saturday night was a Absolute dive really filthy & run down. Music was on full blast it was so loud it was distorted had trouble hearing staff there was No decent Ales on at all. They sell is Abbot which I tried but it was disgusting so I left it and walked out went too across road. Definitely got worse since I last went in here. Alesonly - 1 Jun 2010 20:30 |
| It's definitely a 'geezer' pub. I don't think it's as rough as it was, but I can see why it can be a little intimidating. Beer is crap if you're into real ales. They occasionally experiment with the odd barrel of 'Abbott', but I don't think the staff know how to keep them. Weird thing is they do a roaring trade in the bottled beers. It's the nearest thing to a local for me, so I wander in 4 or 5 times a month. It's always the same guys there, sitting in exactly the same place as they were the last time I visited. But isn't that what a local is all about? bobnessuk - 24 Jul 2009 14:45 |
| One of North London's more hostile pubs - full of low-lifes. Would avoid like the plague. Staff seem nice enough and shows the football on loads of screens - but the customers!!!! p_tiger - 26 Jun 2009 13:53 |
