Great atmosphere. Lovely staff. Has football on a Sunday but doesn’t bring usual football crowd and didn’t even notice it was on from dining room. Spacious and well laid out. Good for groups or pint at bar.

The staff are lovely, but sadly our food was not great the sirloin was very ropey and chewy, we had to complain about it and they gave us a discount. It was a special occasion that could have been more enjoyable.The pub is accepting of kids and babies but I had to clean the changing unit before use, this should be better.

Really good pub with good atmosphere. Staff were super friendly. Good selection of beers with some of them surprisingly cheap for London! Would recommend the vegan burger too!Vegetarian options: They have a Beyond Meat vegan burger

Friendly bar staff and a great pub to have a pint and enjoy a conversation. Sometimes there's a bit of live music, which is a bonus to the area, but none of the overbearing 'pumped' music found elsewhere - so you can actually talk (if you want too!). Environment is 'traditional and quirky' rather than the sterile 'All Bar One' style and all the better for it! Recommended.

Used to be a regular in here. Not anymore. The most expensive pub in Stroud Green for very average beer and lager.Like the majority have said the toilets are an absolute disgrace. Reading the comments from the owner from six months ago who said they were going to sort them out, but if anything they've got worse in that time. If Health & Safety saw it they'd shut the place down! The owners are treating their customers like mugs. Only gets two for the big screen football and the staff. The rest makes me feel ill.

Had a great time here. Big lounge area, great for groups too. Board games, fire place. Unfortunately no food but great for beer, wine and shots. Sports screen and board games. Used to be plain but a few decent decorations and quirky furniture here and there has done it a world of good. Recomended

Great pub except one bartender. We asked why they were showing the Liverpool vs west ham game on the big TV and her response was - "there are more Liverpool fans coming to the pub, if you had been here the last few years you would know". Really rudenand obnoxious. She looks about 24, I've been living in the area 37 years and been coming to the pub on off for 15 years. Thanks for the condescending remarks. Everyone else is lovely.

I hadn't visited the pub for many years. It was called The Stapleton Hall Tavern in those days after the local road. Forgotten how large it was. Great for groups.

Great pub. I’ve always loved this place and amazing staff! Real shame about the new menu. Very limited and can’t understand why it’s changed might have to go somewhere else to eat now as there’s not much to choose from that I like. The menus brings this pub down. I want to come but it’s giving me no choice when it comes to eating. But can’t fault the staff and the general environment

Friendly staff, good ale and the pooch got a plate of sausage and gravy, what more can I say!
Lovely place, usually good beer, top staff, great quiz.You asked what you could do better. You claim to be a gastropub but only have four things on the menu. Food's good but could be cheaper. The wine is generally poor.Do you still have a picture of a member of the royal family on the wall? If so, you've fatally misjudged your demographic. Why don't you just have a full-frontal of Enoch Powell and be done with it?

Been for drinks a few times. Whether quiet or crowded bar staff are friendly, helpful and prompt. Good selection at the bar. Personally preferred our weekday visits as the old building amplifies the voices of a busy Saturday night crowd.

Great pub with friendly service, good selection of beer and dog friendly. Quiz on Thursday and football to. Would definitely recommend.

Was on a first date and nice space and great staff members and they have lots of activities eg pub quiz etc

Ordered fish and chips and they brought it out in about 5 minutes, which was worrying. The fish was dry and overcooked whilst the batter was pale undercooked.The worst of both worlds for 15 quid.
