Following a brief closure of the pub in 2018 it reopened under new management with an emphasis on "craft beers". It was operated by Twenty6 an independent pub group based in North London.It is now operated by Star Bars, part of Heineken. We are trying to find out the exact hours when food is served.

A small traditional pub dating back to the 17th century. A single horseshoe bar serves a surprisingly spacious wood-panelled room with a number of prints of local dignitaries from the past. It has a cosy, welcoming feel. There is a small, flower basket bedecked patio, favoured by smokers, out back facing the open space of Pond Square.

Underground: Archway or Highgate. Buses: 143 & 210 stop outside, 214. 271 bus has been w/d by TFL. 263 now goes directly up to Highgate Village and stops practically outside this pub.
