Lived in Barnet for many years and have always walked past this place but never been in. For some reason I always thought it was (no offence to old men as I am one) an 'old man's pub'. I was delighted to be wrong. Warm and welcoming with a gorgeous interior with varied seating areas either in the bar, out the back or in the large garden at the rear. Really good selection of ales (had one of the Christmas specials which didn't disappoint) and they even sell gourmet pet food for your four legged friend. Think it's also CAMRA officiated. So with friendly service, great drinks, homely furnishings and pet friendly definitely one to recommend. I will certainly be back!
Easily walked by, this cute little grade 2 listed pub is likely Barnet’s oldest coaching inns. Although gas rather than a real log fire, the fire is realistic and a welcoming warmth out of the cold. A little like sitting in one’s one home, but with a tartan carpet and a silent knight to look over you from the hallway. It was quiet when we visited during office hours. The covered beer yard out back, shelters tired ears and souls from the sounds of the busy road out front. The staff is friendly and were welcoming to a teddy bear!
This is a beautiful old pub. I'd become jaded re pub food , however we had a lovely meal. I recommend the burger and my wife had the bacon and chicken sandwich. Both were great. The stuff were friendly and welcoming. Needless to say the beer was fantastic! Thank goodness it's local and we will definitely go back soon.
