Operator: Twenty6
53 Highgate High Street, Highgate, N6 5JX (View on Google Map)

Operated by Twenty6 an independent pub group based in North London.

Following a brief closure the pub has now (Dec 2018) reopened under new management with an emphasis on "craft beers". In Jan 2023 - 2 cask beers - Landlord and Old Peculier. What we had as the Twitter a/c seems to be suspended. It is unlikely that the opening hours we list are correct but their website only shows hours for the day itself - not the whole week! We have taken the hours from their F/book page. No reference to food being 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.
