First visit since it arrived in Crouch End.

Excited to try the menu.

For a Friday evening in November, it wasn't busy at all.

I ordered the ox cheeks but the portion looked minimal. We ended up ordering triple cooked chips which tasted nice, all five pieces. It's tastes ok but I felt the sauce was rich and salty. Disappointing.
My friend orders the lamb and really enjoyed the dish.

For dessert we ordered the cookie dough and sticky toffee pudding, it was extremely sweet and the ice cream scoop looked like it shrank.

For the price of the meal, it didn't seem good value or tasty either.

Although it wasn't busy for a Friday evening, there were times where we couldn't see wait staff around, or they'd be serving the table near us but would walk off despite us calling them over.

I dont think I'll be in a hurry to revisit but I wish them well.

Second visit on a Saturday evening, we like coming here for coffee and dessert. Staff were polite and friendly.
We all ordered a hot drink with a selection of desserts, my personal favourite was the creme brulee, just the perfect amount of crunch and creaminess...
I noticed other dishes ordered being served looks very appetising... Hopefully we'll visit again for a proper evening meal...

Fantastic service!

Update on 24/9/22
Lunch with a friend, birthday drinks too.
Ordered the Chicken, ham and leek pie, our server said if you're a fan of pasty, then this is for you, well it was, it was absolutely delicious.

The pastry was fresh, crunchy, the chicken was succulent and the tarragon sauce was too die for. Only slight drawback was the ham and couldn't really taste the leeks. But overall we reallt enjoyed it, my plate was clean!!!

Just a note on the ladies toilets, seems they are refurbishing, so they've incorporated the ladies with the disabled loo (just the one toilet). Not sure how long this will be for... But the ladies are accessed through the mens main toilet door....if you're confused, go and see for yourself 😅

We also sat in the beer garden, nice and warm with those outdoor heaters... 👍

Arrived around 6ish for drinks and dinner.

Ordered lime soda spritzer with fish and chips (£11.50).

Staff were polite and friendly.

Good food options on the menu, whereas the drinks menu was on another level.

The fish didn't smell very fresh, batter was hard yet crispy, but the double, triple cooked chips were blooming amazing!!! Told them I didn't eat peas, and they were happy to swap for a side salad. Very accommodating indeed.

Good atmosphere, but at times, staff were too busy chatting to the kitchen staff, had to wait a while for them to finish and notice us.

Would visit again!
