The Hadley Oak Bar (Barnet - London)

June 27th, 2008 · No Comments

The Hadley Oak Bar

The Hadley Oak (ex. Bar Square) places fine drinking and plush outdoor gastro next to the money-to-spend neighbourhood of Hadley Common. Inside one can fine shiny taps with the names of obscure (yet commercial) Belgian beers, fine ale and one or two other premium off-the-cuff drinks. The tables are a bit obstructive and […]

Weaver’s Wine Bar (New Barnet - London)

Weaver’s Wine Bar

An extension of the existing “the Weaver” pub next door, this is for those who dont really want to associate with playing pool, watching football or listening to drunk men rambling on in a corner about better times. This more up-market experience tries to push a wine-bar image with leather couches, candle-light although […]

South Barnet Club (Barnet - London)

October 19th, 2007 · No Comments

South Barnet Club

A private club of moderate size on Mays lane. In fact the only place which is allowed to serve alcohol along the extensive road. The venue contains a pool table and like most private clubs, a badly stocked bar, attracting the sort of crowd who seem to have invested in the same charity-shop-clothes […]

The Prince of Wales (East Barnet - London)

The Prince of Wales

A large imposing pub in the heart of East Barnet village, this ember inn pub seeks to crush the image of tracksuit-wearing ruffians packing into the pubs in this area but sadly you cannot change the population of a place by introducing a brand name chain. This pub can be entered from […]

The Cat and Lantern

Nothing could be more well hidden on a high street in plain view of day than the Cat and Lantern, a pub totally famous for that gut-felt pain you get when you are stabbed casually with a butchers knife and no-one comes to your aid. Yes I am talking about the violence, […]

The Bell and Buck

One always knows when this author has fallen on entries of hard times. This grim establishment was always going to be a bad choice from the start but one must take the good with the bad, and what could be worse than the old “buck” – a literal school hall occupied by […]

The Crown and Anchor

10/10/1999: The Crown and Anchor has now shut down
An old and proud pub sat on the hill of Barnet beside the church which stanbds as a monument to the area and overshadows this venue along the quieter end of High Barnet high street. Entry is swift in from the street with no […]

The Gate (Arkley - London)

The Gate

No doubt, this is a drive in to what can only be described as North London countryside but its worth every penny in petrol for the sheer quality of the food. Yes, this is not your traditional run-of-the-mill boozer but a place where lamb loins, pork and beef roasts, rich BBQ chicken breast and […]
