Small and unassuming local's corner pub in one of the nicer parts of Enfield. It's improved in recent months and has benefited from a fresh lick of paint outside and management keen to host various entertainment on various...
Do you remember when pubs were just pubs? Dark interiors, patterned carpets, pool tables, dartboards, karaoke and old blokes propping up one side of the bar? If you do, you either remember the years before 1998 pretty well......
Hidden next to a green in a quiet corner of Enfield, this imposing pub's interior looks as if hasn't changed since about 1960. The public bar is just as it would've been back then, complete with bare floorboards and vinyl bench...
As a reviewer, its difficult to write exciting and interesting things about a pub when its part of a chain where every outlet is almost identical. We've looked hard, but like its brothers and sisters, The Ridgeway offers few...
Despite being one of the earliest in the (ever expanding) Wetherspoon chain and converted from an old dairy, this is a place which singularly fails to entice on any level. Despite the very high ceilings, it's strangely dingy...
Finally, a refurbished McMullen's pub which doesn't look like they had two days and £5000 to spend at Argos. Previously bland but pleasant, it was designed to be anodyne enough to offend no-one. Now they've chanced their...
No surprises in this unremarkable Enfield boozer on our weekday visit. Boarded up for a while, it's certainly better to have a pub open than not, but essentially this is a local pub for local people. Consequently, its sometimes...
Enfield can be a very mixed bag. Thankfully, for this pub we go to one of the oldest and nicest parts of Enfield. Set in a preservation area, it sits next to a small 17th century canal, complete with ducks and swans. The...
This pretty pub in the greenbelt is the kind of archetypal olde worlde country pub tourists would love to visit but never do. From the wood panelled exterior, to the small doorways, hidden nooks and creaky floorboards, it...
A refurbishment of this once grand old traditional pub finished a short while ago and despite initial evidence to the contrary, it's still a traditional - albeit improved - pub. A profusion of dark wood has been tempered with...
A pleasant looking pub from the outside, it doesn't disappoint inside either. One of an increasingly rare number of pubs that still retains two totally separate bars, inside it's warm and welcoming. With the addition of brass...
Not the most welcoming of places. Our suspicions were raised by noticing in the window those starry pointed dayglo stickers more often sited in chip shops. More often than not their appearance in pub windows (usually with the...
A good-looking and friendly pub in an area which has too many average pubs. The clientele appears to gravitate towards older locals. A great jukebox is a welcome sight, but we'll report back soon to give a fuller review.
The outlying areas of London are home to many charming pubs, but sadly the Rose and Crown isn't one of them. All ingredients are there: once supposedly owned by Dick Turpin's grandparents, the tiny doors, wooden beams and...
This vast pub had been through many incarnations in it's time and on our visit looked rather like it had received another makeover pretty recently, in an out-of-the-packet, no imagination required pub style. Without anything to...
Having removed the cosy U-shaped bench seating and frosted glass a few years ago now, how is Enfield Town's first upmarket pub faring? Not great, to be honest. The interior is pretty anodyne - there's too much pine and laminate...
The impact on our senses of White Webbs Toby Carvery initially blindsided us. On one hand, here was this most impressive building, housed in some beautiful parkland. We admired the Georgian architecture upon our approach and...
A huge pub on the outskirts of Enfield and at the edge of Green Belt land, The Jolly Farmers covers most of the bases pretty well. They serve the usual McMullen's real ales (not bad) and fairly predictable but hearty pub food....
