Cracking pub and the best I've been to in the area. One side has numerous TV's so good for football watching if thats your thing. The other side however is TV free and so you can have a chilled out pint regardless of whats on. The food is exceptional and the usual Fullers offerings are present & seemed well kept. I'll definitely be making the trip up here again soon.

Popped in for the first time last night. Very conveniently placed too, almost right on the 221 bus route from Mill Hill.
Had the TVs on in one side showing the golf, although very unobtrusive.
Large Thai restaurant area upstairs. Not overly busy for a Saturday evening, but maybe that's because you can eat downstairs too. Very reasonably priced and decent food.
Four Fullers beers on (ESB, Pride, Honeydew and Discovery). Think it was around £3.20 for a pint. Plenty of cider and lager on tap too and well as quite a few different bottles of wine - quite expensive for a glass but reasonably priced for a bottle, if that makes sense.
Liked the nice touch of a bottle of suncream on the bar if you're sat in the large area out the front.

By far the best pub in Finchley, I've been fortunate enough to live within 5 minutes walk of this place for the last few years and you couldn't wish for a better local. Shows all live sport (apart from golf) and you can count on a great atmosphere for big football matches - but one side of the pub is free of TV screens altogether so you can usually find a corner for a quiet drink even during the biggest games. Only negatives are the predominantly Thai menu, which is not to everyone's taste, and the fact that the beers are limited to the usual Fullers range, save for a very occasional guest.

The ale, whilst limited to Fullers, is reasonably well kept. The thai place upstairs of ok but nothing special. One of the very few decent pubs within a mile of Finchley.
