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.

Lots of flat screen tvs all around and a pool table and big screen in back make this the perfect spot to watch futbol. Since you are well outside central London, only 5 miles, its cheap. A Guinness was 2.65 pounds and their Green King IPA was 1.85. Both nice prices. There is a beer garden outside area which is bloody awesome (I had to throw bloody in this review). 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.

Fortunately, en route to visit the gardens in Capel Manor College down the street, I was able to spot the Pied Bull before things got out of hand. The monster reared its head, and I did an immediate U-turn to feed the beast. Expecting the usual pub mystery meats covered in clotted cheese, we were surprised to find that this establishment considers itself something of a gastro-pub serving a variety of odd "fusion" dishes, including a crepe-like ratatouille pancake, decent vegetable puree soup, chorizo covered in what apparently passes here for haloumi cheese, and a tuna steak that is of course cooked all the way through until it is dead, since, although great strides have been made, you Brits have a long way to go before you become acclimated to seared raw fish. Not a bad diversion. My grandmother was serene as butterfly fluttering about the gardens the rest of the afternoon.

My friend ordered a prawn cocktail, she said it was very nice.

There's also a large garden at the back which is quite nice during the summer months.
