Restaurants in Friern Barnet and New Southgate
The Arnos Arms
338 Bowes Rd, Arnos Grove, LondonI attended the Arnos arms on the 25th September 2025 whereby I was greeted by a lovely member of the team Alex. Unfortunately due to unannounced staff sickness Alex was having to serve food serve drinks pretty much single handed but she continued to deliver and do it with a smile. She made sure all customers were delivered a great service. All props to Alex.

Middeys Brasserie
11 Cockfosters Parade, Cockfosters Rd, BarnetI don't normally do reviews but we went to Middeys today and the food was really delicious for myself and our party. I have to say that service is lacking is so many restaurants but I was so impressed with all the staff at the restaurant. They have really got that right. We will be back.

Costa Coffee

Simmons Bakers
8, Station Parade, Cockfosters Rd, BarnetDelicious! I stopped in for the first time yesterday when it was so cold outside. I ordered a mocha and a tomato and brie croissant. The person behind the counter heated it up for me. I don't know what I was expecting but it was so delicious and just completely hit the spot and lifted my mood on a very cold day. The atmosphere and the staff are lovely, too!

McDonald's
Friern Bridge Retail Park, 11 Pegasus Way, LondonThis branch is located inside the retail park on the left hand side once you enter you cannot miss it. It is then followed up by Costa coffee and Subway. Ideally the retail park is easy if you arrive by car as there is a large set of parking spaces and you can have a browse do your shopping. The restaurant chain itself was clean, organized and the staff were very friendly. The doors were automatic and easily accessible for buggies. The layout was very easy to move through and it looked very modern with iPads for children to play, multiple baby high chairs and lots of space for larger parties to dine in too. The service was quick and seamless and the staff all have a great working relationship together. I felt like the team enjoyed their job and was genuine. Coming here with a baby I noticed the disabled toilet was locked which was where the baby changing table was and it was very clean. The table was much more sturdy than other places I have been too. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available as well as a drive through. The restaurant was well lit and and have large windows for the natural lighting too. This is one go the best McDonald's I have ever been too within the London. Definitely recommend if you are around here. The restaurant was constantly bering clean and maintained, when I arrived to when I left I saw the staff continuously check the flooring and the bins.
