Went in for a quick pint last week. They don't know how to look after real ale, as my London Pride was off! The toilets are in the basement and were damp and disgusting. Not enough places to sit either.

The Moon and Cross, Waltham Cross
The only pub in Waltham Cross that I really frequent. Great food, decent real ales, and they cater for smokers very well with large umbrella kind of shelters and heaters outside in the courtyard garden.

I last reported (below) in 2005, when it was great. Now its not so good, but I believe the management has changed again, so the future is looking more hopeful.

It has now closed. Shame really because it was where the youngsters used to go and they now have to go to the Griffin.

There has been reports in the local press about fights outside the pub, but I've not been in there recently to say if the pub itself is to blame.

Ditto on the dump comment, not been in for a couple of years (it was a spit and sawdust type of place then) but I'm not going back especially when there is the excellent Moon and Cross just up the road.

One of my favourite pubs in Enfield, it probably has the largest garden of all the Enfield pubs. Even good in the winter when the garden is not being used much. It now has two pool tables, in very good order too. It has a couple of fruit machines (25p machines, �25 jackpot) and a multigame video quiz machine. Food is good, and has a nice selection of real ales (but not well looked after).
The only niggle was that recently, on one of the hottest days of the year, they only had two bar staff on and the wait to be served was about half an hour at the bar.

One warning about this pub - if you're six foot it's easy to bang your head on the beams at the bar, the ceiling is so low! I know, I've done it a few times!!

Yes, its closed for good. I believe its going to be knocked down. A real shame.

The Griffin in Yoxford has a great atmosphere and friendly clientele. It's my mum and dad's local pub, and although the village has two other pubs (The Blois and the Queens Head), I much prefer it.
It has regular events such as a weekly quiz evening (on Thursdays) and live music - folk, jazz etc, usually on Saturdays.
It has a separate restaurant which is non-smoking, and the food is quite good. The menu includes game dishes and even some dishes made to Elizabethen recipes - for which a glass or two of mead goes down well with! I especially recommend the landlady's home-made icecream!
The pub also has a pool table and a quiz machine (so you can pack the kids away from the bar).
The pub also has some rooms available for Bed and Breakfast, which are very popular so I would advise booking in advance.
All in all, I would recommend this pub.

Vine Inn, Waltham Cross
Recently refurbished. Now has a modern style inside, done to a fairly good standard, however the atmosphere has been totally lost! Food fairly expensive for what you get. On a plus, the pub has a large garden, which is nice in the summer, however the garden is right by a busy roundabout.
