I think I detect a slight improvement in the real ale here recently - whereas it used to be Butcombes, Youngs and something else bog standard, there is now Butcombes plus a guest ale (and Youngs), so a bit more interesting. They've also improved the sound system for the quiz - a long overdue move. A nice pub albeit can get a bit busy at times, especially on quiz nights. I suspect that along with many pubs it'll need a good clean when the smoking ban comes in, but it's still just about the best of the bunch in Highgate village.

Had a perfect pint of Butcombe Bitter here with parents, sitting out back on the tiny patio area which overlooks the village green. Lovely place. Interior was just as nice and barman was a friendly bloke.

Other beers were Youngs and Courage Directors.

Serves thai food, with thai kitchen staff. Didn't eat here so can't comment but I am sure its of a decent standard, considering the quality of the pub and the area.

Not a bad pub. small but with a quaint little patio out the back looking over a nice green. at least it is a pub and not a trendy wine bar like a lot of the other 'pubs' in highgate appear to be.

A dark and dingy little local pub. Were serving butcombe bitter, directors, and youngs special. Had one of each and all were fairly well kept. A nice place to sit and read the paper over a few quiet pints as it never seems to get busy during the day. Staff were pleasant enought. Certainly less pretentious than some of it's neighbours.
