This place seems to have improved vastly again in the last year or so since my last visit. Theres now no long waits at the Bar and theres plenty of staff on duty. I also found when ordering food the service is also a lot quicker now and staff also remove used plates and dishes from tables once customers are finished all good improvements. Theres also a Dart board & Large projector Screen along with several large TVs for watching the football or Rugby now as well in the bottom bar. The other good points are the Ales on tap are usually in good condition and staff are always friendly & polite. The last time I was in there was around Six guest on Tap along with the usual Abbot & Ruddles thats good for a Friday evening. Then again I would try to avoid Friday and Saturday evenings after around 21:00 as it gets full of the young loud larger crowed later in the evenings tanking up before going up west or to a club.

Overall I would say its improvement since last time I was in and well worth visiting if passing or in need of a good food fix.

a great imposing looking building from the outside,we almost walked straight past the place as were looking for a typical London spoons with blue shop sign frontage and gold scrolled writing with the pub's name,the service inside was quick and the pint of weltons "haka" was good although as said before was one of only two guest ales on,nice sized beer patio available for smokers and people with a taste for traffic fumes at this traffic island located pub,7/10,better than expected but could be better

How much difference a Year makes. Since my last review this place has now been left too go to down hill for instance the only cubical in the gents has not had no door on it for over Two weeks and the general cleaning standards have been a disgrace. Also the most off putting thing is the amount of smokers always hanging around the doorways allowing smoke too drift into the Pub and it is not just roll ups there smoking by the sell of it. This needs addressing as it puts customers off coming into the Pub I watched at least three family groups turn and walk away whist I was there. The only good points are the Ales on tap are usually in good condition but last time I was in there was only Two guest Ales on Tap and the usual Abbot & Ruddles not that good for a Friday evening thats when you manage too get served why is it theres never enough staff in these places on a busy night

Best avoided on Friday and Saturday nights when half the adolescents in Finchley descend on it, but for the rest of the week this is a decent Wetherspoons in a part of town that really struggles for good pubs. Clean and tidy after a refurbishment last year, and four or five separate drinking areas give it a bit more character than many Wetherspoons pubs - plus there is an room upstairs with a second bar reserved for diners. Add in the usual range of beers and regularly changing guest ales, and it's definitely one of the better places in the area.

Now Its been redecorated In traditional style Its much better than before. Its One of the best Spoons in north London in my opinion being A traditional Old Pub It reminds me of what it was like in the 70s only better. There were several good Ales were on tap this visit all in good condition. I would recommend this Pub too anyone Its well worth A visit.
