Toll Gate, Hornsey

19/05/23 - "It’s keeping the same name. They’ve replaced faded signage with new ones exactly the same. The only difference is that Wetherspoons branding is gone. " Now has 6 handpumps and likely to feature just national brands. The thoughts behind the selection named is that those three were chosen “because that’s what people want”. There do not appear to have been any other fundamental changes. The provision of food is not known, that and the hours are a guess.

NOTE - as this is no longer a Spoons, the CAMRA Voucher scheme no longer applies.

In Sept 2022 Spoons announced this pub as being for sale. It closed its door on 26/03/23. It was a large early (1989) Wetherspoons pub with central bar. There is an outside seating area in front. With lots of wood panelling and stool seating facing the outside area, at the rear the large seating area is well lit by natural light through two large celing lanterns.

Has 3 regular beers and up to five guest beers. Very much a local community pub. Can be very busy and loud on weekend evenings. TV screens running silent.

Takes its name from the toll gate erected in 1765 where High Rd meets Green Lanes. It was dismantled soon after the system of turnpikes (private roads) was abolished in 1872.
