    Restaurant | pub was refurbished recently. Very tasty Sunday roast! Thought it was pricey but after tasting it you can really understand why! Ingredients are very fresh and the beef was cooked to perfection. HOWEVER, service was not very good and staff weren't particularly friendly. and to my surprise ..this waitress dropped a plate that was covering a dish and she just picked it back up and put it on the food!! It was so gross. Really need to have some serious staff training !

    Sunday roast!

    Loved the Sunday roast! Yes its pricey (£15 over without drinks) but the quality of the roast is worth the money.

    Yes, it hit the spot! Good Pub Food. Highlights: Food was delicious, cooked great with ample quantity, Location was easy to find, Staff was friendly with good decor and set up. Can improve: It gets crowded sometimes but overall a great local pub with good food and drinks. Dined in June 2015. I have dined here multiple times and it is one of my go to local pubs.

    A Classic British pub in the residential East Finchley neighbourhood. Surprisingly it wasn't very busy despite it was Saturday evening but they did have a few dishes that were sold out like the mussels in white wine. But the burger was good with crisply chips, the meat was tender and came with lots of onions and cheese. The best part is that it's dog friendly and there's quite a lot of seating space so ideal for a big group too. It's definitely a good local pub to go to when you just want to wind down. The choices of food are limited but they won't disappoint you and there's pub games if you get bored!

    Always a great atmosphere with a great selection of craft beers and spirits. Premium yet affordable, definitely worth a visit

    I think the Highgate Inn is best described by what you can find inside. You get all the necessities…read morefor both casual and committed drinker alike, fruit machines, heavy oak tables and even the unbalanced bar stools but that is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. This pub seems to have all the little extras that make a great pub. For a start the Juke Box (something which you really don't find in enough pubs) has an amazing array of songs, from the popular to the obscure allowing you to adjust the backing tracks to your night accordingly (although I did get some dirty looks when I put on 5 James bond themes in a row). The sofas (found to the rear of the bar) are incredibly comfortable and very easy to get enveloped by, I would recommend heading to the Highgate inn for these alone, the beer access is a plus. If that isn't for you there are plenty of normal seats and even the option to stand if you would like. In terms of drinks the array on offer is diverse (not ground breaking but certainly not dull). On occasion you may see the odd alcohol dispensing nick knack behind the bar (I once witnessed a bottle holster that caused a desperado bottle to float in mid air). Little props like a frog fountain that spews fog, 4-5 ft tall wooden horses and the occasional seal teddy hanging from the many abstract paintings create a hint of a quirky atmosphere without making that the theme of the pub. Should you feel the need to smoke you will be forced into the street but before you hit the pavement you can take refuge in the outside chairs complete with matching tables, not the best in the winter but better than having to dodge pedestrians. All in all this is a very under attended pub. The staff are helpful and polite, the locals and newcomers seem to get along well and the atmosphere is on par with most of the other pubs in Highgate (better than some).

    A decent 'old school' pub on Archway road a bit further on from the Woodman as you head up the hill…read morefrom the station. Inside you find lots of beams and dark wood, fruit machines, TV's for sport and plenty of seating dotted around including some sofas. It's all a bit mismatched and thrown together the way a pub should be. It reminded me of being in a little out of the way place in some village somewhere where the pretentiousness of London had passed by unnoticed. The beer on offer was ok, my London pride was pretty good although nothing special but for me the appeal of this place is the ease of getting a seat compared to the Woodman, the fact inside it's like pubs used to be before they all became identikit carbon copies of one another selling overpriced dismal food and trying too hard to be the next big foodie destination.

    Fish & chips, one of the better ones. Good fry surface, good chips, fresh white fish, no grey bits,…read moreI like the sea salt on top. Was supposed to be minted peas, but was plain regular. Salmon on gnocchi was also good. Bit of a Gastro style pub. Not a cheap menu kind of pub. Nice patio. Handsanitizer was very sticky, like they had mixed it with honey. This is on the corner of Billionair's Avenue, where dictators do their real estate money laundering. I wonder if the House of Saud ever come here to eat fish & chips, because apparently they own 10 houses on the nearby exclusive avenue. The only thing I didn't like was that to use the bathroom you have to touch a rusty old dungeon lock key attached to a century old metal mug to open the door, because I guess we can't be trusted with an unlocked door that is locked from the inside. My Diet Coke wasn't very cold. But I had a nice time here and the service was friendly.

    The style of the Old White Lion is not really my taste. It has old fashioned furniture and art deco…read morelamps sort of 50's style. In fact it reminds me very much of an antique furniture shop. They have 3 ales on tap, no surprises though (fullers). Food is nothing special, the portions are abit skimpy but they do have a lot to choose from. You can get all the usual pub food here. They have a really nice beer garden though but again smokers ruin it when the pub is busy. All in all this place is not really my taste.
