Good Beer Guide pub in Hornsey.

It has one main room at the front, with windows looking out onto the High Street, and another darker room at the back with a pool table, more seating, and at least one sofa.

Kake and bob visited on a Sunday afternoon in August 2010. There were five real ales on; three were the regulars (London Pride (£3.20/pint), Deuchars IPA, Timothy Taylor Landlord) and two were guests (Black Sheep Golden Sheep, Ringwood Boondoggle). A sign on the bar pointed out that third-pint glasses were available. They also do cocktails, which seem to change with the season menu photo.

They have several board games behind the bar photo of list, which you can borrow for a £5 deposit (we went for Trivial Pursuit — bob won). Music was playing throughout our visit, and there was also a football game playing on a screen in the back room, though this didn't really disturb us much in the front room. We noted that the staff were quite diligent at cleaning tables.

As of August 2010, food is served 11am-9:50pm Mon-Sat and noon-9:20pm Sun, including bar snacks menu photo, hot sandwiches menu photo, main courses menu photo, "hangover cure brunches" menu photo from 11am-3pm on Saturdays, and Sunday roasts on Sundays.

According to an advert in the Spring 2009 edition of the North London CAMRA newsletter, there's a quiz from 8pm on Mondays, poker league from 8pm on Thursday, and salsa dancing from 8pm on Sundays.

Accessibility: One of the entrances is step-free, and it's also step-free through to the accessible toilet, which is in the back room past the pool table. The menus on the tables state that a large-print menu is available from the bar.
