| The first thing that caught my eye when approaching this pleasant looking pub was the sign on the board outside advertising the ‘Credit Brunch’, which consists of breakfast and a pint for £7.95, and I though here we go it’s another pub that‘s up its own arse. Upon entering I was presented with the gastro pub that I was expecting, except for the fact that I found it very inviting and I’m averse to the general gastro genre. The barman/manager was very affable and the choice of Ordinary, Landlord and Harvey’s Best had me licking my lips as the couple of pubs I had been in previously had no ale. I tried the Harveys and the Landlord and thought that they were on good form. There were no standard lagers, but the choice of premium was good enough. I spotted a projector screen discreetly rolled up above the front windows and the Arsenal v ManUre game was being advertised on a chalk board by the entrance, but this was only being shown as it was on ITV as the pub has no Sky. There is a dartboard in the corner of the pub, but the bar seems to interfere with the oche and if someone was sitting there you’d have no chance in getting a game. There is a small beer garden out the front of the pub, but it was closed off during my visit as some carpenters were doing some work to it. If I could change a couple of things it would be to get rid of the lounge music and the overpowering smell of food, but other than these things I really liked it in here and I would go back again.

| Since posting the brief comments in December last year have been back a couple of times and been consistently impressed by the high level of service from the people serving on the bar. Landlord's and at least another respectable beer are on draught (can't recall if hand-drawn or tap) plus a couple of better lagers also on draught in addition to the usual staples of Guinness etc. In addition to the Wednesday evening jazz I think there's a piano-based sing-song routine on Sunday evening as well, perhaps more on other nights? Good atmosphere, consistent standards. _grobag_ - 12 Apr 2009 11:50 |
| I am the daughter of PATRICK MORRIS (composer,musicion), who died last year. He was found dead in his house in 2a Southwoodlane on 16. Jan. 2008. The circumstances are rather suspicious and anyone who knew him and can tell me anything about when they saw him last and how he was found and who found him. Please, please inform me. I am living abroad and will come to London soon. Grateful for any information and links. Emma- Serena kaufmann_e@hotmail.com EMMASERENA - 7 Jan 2009 11:52 |
| Pleasant suburban pub, mainly relaxed older set on the Weds evenings I went there a couple of times early in 2008 to listen to the live (free) Jazz... performing were some of same musicians who have appeared at the Wenlock Arms nr. Old St. (If approaching from Highgate Tube: I found it easier/quicker to get to on foot by proceeding up Archway Rd, turning left into Church Road and then 2/3rd left into North Hill and walking south - seemed quicker than the TfL suggested route). _grobag_ - 16 Dec 2008 16:57 |
