| The Three Compassess genuinely deserves it's good reputation. Visited for the first time the other day, beer range & quality excellent, staff friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. reynedd - 1 Aug 2011 23:49 |
| Simply superb. A lovely building with comfortable and airy interior, just about the best service I've ever encountered, a good range of well kept beers ("Landlord" and "Bitter & Twisted" were both absolutely out of the top drawer and even the lagers were good), and prices that are fair for the area. Food wise, both the Sausages and Mash (three plump, meaty, tasty cumberland bangers on a lovely light bed of mash and a rich and flavoursome onion gravy) and the sticky chicken breast were delicious and portions were good. Price wise, it could have been a little cheaper, but you couldn't argue that what you got was anything other than value for money. Entertainment wise, there is background music and a pool table on the average day (such as this afternoon), but apparently there do have other activities on specific evenings, as well as the ubiquitous TVs. There are pictures of the area and its history on the walls including one charming shot of the owners and the regulars all proudly beaming at the camera in a shot taken just after the pub was refurbed in 2004, the enduring image is of pride in the place, and based on my encounter it is well founded and continues to this day. All in all, absolutely lovely and well worth a visit. I shall be returning as soon as I can. Mr.Monkfish - 11 Aug 2010 19:18 |
| This is definitely the best pub in the area with a good range of beers and, on this occasion, I had a lovely pint of Waggledance. I make an effort to walk down from Crouch End to get here and it's always worth it. Nice mixture of the local residents and friendly staff - I'll be back! jenny200 - 28 Jun 2010 15:34 |
| Fine pub, friendly staff, good mix of locals. It does have a telly and does show football but it is down one end so it is easy to avoid. The food is reasonable and simple. Well worth a visit. Avoid the quiz, you need to be a serious rocket scientist to understand the questions! Nevans - 18 Jun 2010 19:01 |
| Absolutely agree with the comments by David 68. This is a great pub that does it's best to please most of the people most of the time and that's good enough for me! Go in and judge for yourself - you won't be disappointed. The staff are friendly and the roasts are well worth their price. earlydoors - 1 Jun 2010 16:44 |
