The Kings Head

"Nice pub in Crouch End which offers rarely found cask ale and cider. Has a nice relaxed atmosphere and the odd event like music and quizzes all at a good price. Food and drink is generally good value when done well but sometimes the quality drops which makes it feel a little pricey for what you get. Last visit the staff knowledge of the menu was poor and the service wasn't as good as normal, the burger had been under a heat lamps so long the cheese had disappeared and chips portion was skimpy. All in all a very nice pub that just needs a little more effort to keep up the high standards set the majority of the time."

"I kindly spoke to a young female working behind the bar tonight and said this is not personal but why do you wipe your fingers down the side of my glass when you overfill it. The head bar staff (another female said just get him another drink and walked off). They both went to the kitchen area and was obviously talking about me. When I asked the head bar staff if there was a problem she was very rude and unprofessional. I have been comming to this pub for over 10 years and have never had such a bad experience. The staff obviously need some customer care training. Please let me know your views on customer service and hospitality etiquette. Paul"

"Great for drinks and the comedy nights - 4 stars. Very disappointing and overpriced dinner though and rather uninterested service- wound only give 2-3 stars. Steak pie was rock solid, contained barely any steak and was served with bland cabbage and mash which sat so long under the heating lamp it had a crust. £18 burger had a tiny 4x4cm chicken piece. Will be back for the comedy nights but not for food."

"When a guy wants to take off his hat, lift his feat, and warm up with an ice cold brew, this spot will certainly hit the spot. Not to mention, you might start to get hungry after a long day; not to worry! They’ve got you more than covered with one the most authentic fish and chips a guy or a girl could ask for. Crispy batter and fresh fish will grace your pallet, followed by refreshing beverage, and one might think they are in heaven. The tartar sauce pairs well with the main and adds a tangy sophistication. Such an enjoyable meal on a cold afternoon, will make a guy want to stay for a few more cold ones."

"Nice pub, good atmosphere, nice staff. And they have a really good offer where if you say it’s nice you get 20% off your next round. Did I mention it was nice?"
