This pub is great in summer as there is lots of benches and outdoor seating area, just try to get one that is on the flat area and not on the hill, it's a different experience eating on a slant =P I didn't order much food, just a bowl of olives and some fruit cider. My friend ordered a prawn cocktail, she said it was very nice. The menu is pretty extensive and there are a variety of dishes for vegetarians, the only down side for me was that their selection of salads didn't really exist (that made me sad). Great atmosphere though and very pretty inside, if you are looking for somewhere to hang out this is the place to come.

What do you do when the weather is nice? Head to the pub garden of course!…read more This pub is hidden down some country lane, it is extremely cute and there is a lot of outdoor seating. There is also a lovely play area for children. We ordered food and was told that the food would take an hour and a half (they weren't joking) on their menu it states 'we don't make fast food, we make good food' something like that, well boy was that far from the truth. We ordered: Onion rings, garlic bread, breaded mushrooms, potato skins, tuna sandwich, and a burger. Garlic bread was awful it was a baguette with loaded cheese, the tuna sandwich was also awful. All that food came to £40. This pub got 3 stars just because of the location and the outdoor seating and even that is generous. There are much better pubs that have a good garden.

The King and Tinker is a very old pub (the oldest in Enfield, apparently) situated in a rural…read morelocation by White Webbs Park. It is in the London Borough of Enfield, not far from the border with Hertfordshire, but you wouldn't think you were anywhere near London. We'd passed the pub a number of times before while out walking but yesterday decided to stop for a drink and something to eat. We had a hot salt beef sandwich (a pub speciality) and poached fish of the day. Both meals were good. I also had a pint of Hobgoblin ale (not great, but drinkable) and a second pint, of London Pride (very good). The staff were very polite, friendly and helpful. What I particularly liked about the King and Tinker was that it hadn't been modernised or made to seem fancy (the dreaded 'country pub & dining'). It was just how typical country pubs used to be, with photos and pictures of local interest on the wall, regulars sitting at the bar chatting with each other and the staff, and no piped music playing. It seemed like it was more or less the same as it would have been 30 or 40 years ago, except for the fact it offers a full food menu, which many pubs didn't in those days. We enjoyed our visit so much we made a note to come back again when out walking in the area.

I was shocked, and pleasantly surprised on a recent visit, to see that the old pub had been demolished and replaced by a very nice building. I am supposing that the Health and Safety squad got in there. The garden, at the rear, overlooks wonderful fields and woodland. Great on a warm evening sitting out there with a pint, or two, of McMullens real ale. The pub is in the middle of Epping Forest and can be hard to find. It is worth the look. One funny thing, which hasn't changed over the years, is a large tank full of water with a chain hanging into the water. On the tank is a sign saying 'Beware of the water otter'. Needless to say, kids have to see this otter and pull up the chain. On the end is a kettle LOL.

This pub in the past has had a succession of worthless managers who were "only here for the beer"…read more They were rarely seen except for when they and their mates wanted a good time "on the house". Thankfully, this pub now has a professional manager who treats his staff and customers with the respect they deserve. In the short time that he has been here he has transformed the pub from a drinking hole for a few regulars and for a few underage louts to play pool to a modern stylish establishment providing good real ale and first class food. The pool tables have gone, along with the youth element and any drug problem there was has been totally dealt with. There is a visible increase to the amount of regulars that now comes in and these are of all shapes and sizes. Literally! What I mean is there are more women and families coming in especially on Sunday's for the excellent Sunday Roast. Money has been spent on the decor along with new windows and big screen TV's. There is a warm and friendly atmosphere here now which is a complete contrast to years gone by. The best endorsement I can give to back this up is to say that my wife said she would be happy to walk in to the pub on her own for a drink, and wouldn't feel uncomfortable. I have sampled all of the pubs in the area and I can honestly say this is the best in all departments. Good Beer, good food and as said a good atmosphere. I have also been told that they have a good golf society in there too, with over 70 members. All things considered a very good experience and one I strongly suggest you experience for yourself.

We noticed the Sun Inn with a "Beer Garden"... although one in the group described it as more of a beer drive-thru. We sat outside and were quickly greeted by a member of staff. While it is certainly pub food, it was very inexpensive... meaning more money for drinks ;). In fact, three of us ordered mains that were less than a fiver! The most expensive was the Sunday Roast at £6.50. The lady who took our order had a great sense of humor and was really lovely. She was also very accommodating when one of our party had some special requests because of her gluten allergy. I had the Tempura Prawns with chips and salad. The Prawns were lovely and the Tempura batter was crunchy, but light! We must have sat there talking and drink for about four hours, but we were never rushed off. However, after we finished our meals, we had to go inside to order more drinks. While it seems to be a place for a lot of locals to grab a drink, there were also cyclists that were just passing through that stopped in for drinks and lunch. And when it was time for us to leave, they were happy to help us call taxis so we didn't have to walk in the torrential rain. It isn't fancy, it is just a nice quiet pub!

On nights of big matches, they charge 5 pounds or so to get in, which is really just two drink tickets. They try and avoid people just watching games. Every bartender was Irish, and the locals who frequented the pub were friendly. I got to know some of the regulars, including one guy who i swear wouldn't leave if he didn't have to.
