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.

Agree with the other review, the place is brilliant, it is frankly just the sort of pub everyone…read morewould want to have in their village!!! The decor is nicely done and clean, with two warming fireplaces, very comfortable chairs and very welcoming people working there. There are three real ales - one guest local ale (currently Tring Blonde). Also Greene King London Glory and IPA. There is an impressive food menu with very tasty freshly cooked imaginative dishes on offer. There is a light-bite type daytime menu and an a la carte for the daytime and evening. The quality of the food is as good as a posh London restaurant, the fish & chips (triple cooked chips!) is a favourite, as is the flatbread pizza, the Candlestick burger and the beef & ale pie. Good deserts, great coffee machine too. Can't fault it. On a nice footpath walking route and stunning scenery round about just the sort of place you want to midpoint after a walk in the country.

We had booked for thirteen but as days rolled by we had to ring the pub at various times to bring down bookings. I must say they didn't moan. I would hate to have had a table laid out for 13 when only 7 arrived, unfair to the staff and their bookings. Anyway, we arrived to be met by a charming young lady who showed us to our table. She took drinks orders and left us to look over the extensive menu. Various starters were chosen and everyone had one of the roast dinners, well it was a Sunday. I must say that all the meals were average. I will, in no way, say bad but we have had better elsewhere. However, it was edible and filling. The service by the young lady made up for that. Cheery, chatty and smiling all the time. Prices were extremely reasonable. Would I go back, tettering on 'doubtful'.

The tables are well-spaced out and there are lots of wooden beams and low ceilings, giving the pub a very cosy and intimate feel. There's also a terrific fireplace, so get there early in the winter months to grab your seat by it. The Robin Hood backs onto some fantastic countryside and eating al fresco in their large garden, on the rare days when we have some good weather, is a real joy. The pub is also child-friendly and a great place for a roast for the whole family on a Sunday afternoon.

The pub has been divided into several areas with couches and tables and chairs dotted around. There are many nooks and crannies, so it's possible to have a cosy, intimate drink for two.

Back inside and there's a good selection of real ales and wines and the food is OK.

Food was good and freshly prepared, but not all of it. We did go for a soup of the day, pea soup, delicious, then a mani. We took a home pie (moroccan style) - very nice, a beef burger with stilton and bacon, and rib eye steak. As a side order we got chips and onion rings, which we have been told they were home made too. I was sincerely disappointed from the steak, a 10oz rib eye that we paid as a matured one but that wasn't matured at all. Idem for the onion rings, which clearly were the McCain ones. The olive bred served with the soup was frozen too. The apple crumble was fine, but with a purchased custard. The service a bit too slow although there were not so many people in. In essence I would probably return, but I will expect the personnel to be more sincere on what is home made and what it is not.
