It is now owned by the same team that was behind the Dukes Head, Highgate. To quote, " We’ll be bringing a true freehouse to Crouch End, with an ample offer of the well conditioned, independent cask we’ve built a reputation for, alongside a large range of local London beer."

Three varying cask beers, one cider and around 12 keg taps. Small Beer specialises in small craft beer breweries (eg Beak from Lewes instead of Harvey's) - in fact there were no standard brands available at all in Feb 2023. In addition to beer they offer a wide range of cocktails.

Shop unit conversion which changed ownership in 2010. For a while named after Henry Reader Williams (1822-97) who was Chairman of the Hornsey Local Board and in whose honour the nearby clock tower was built.
