This Pub is Closed Long Term
Reported closed 13 September 2025 with the operator in financial difficulties.
Re-opened in November 2012 . Tastefully extended into an open-plan area: although now food orientated the drinker is always made most welcome.
In November 2021, Masterton Leisure Holdings took over the running of the pub. They closed The Barnet Brewery, which brewed both Barnet and Hadley beers. But real ale is still thriving; the eight handpumps offer 3 regular plus up to 3 guest beers from both local and National breweries.
There is an extensive garden to the side and a paved area at rear, in front of the former micro brewery.
The garden is now split; the back section is now gated, making it child friendly. This part of the garden is also now designated a no smoking area; a very good idea!!
Note opening times are specific to January 2025, please check via website.
