The Queens Pub and Dining Room in Crouch End

This lovely ornate Victorian pub, mentioned in Pevsner, was originally built as a hotel, just down the road from the Clock Tower in the middle of Crouch End. It has two lovely rooms, the big bar with its central counter, and the dining room with its wonderfully ornate ceiling and open kitchen. In addition, it has an oasis of a garden at the back (heated in winter) which is probably Crouch End's best- kept secret.

The Queens serves fantastically well- kept beers and ales, as well a long list of wines by the bottle and glass. The food is delicious: fresh, seasonal and constantly changing to use the best of what the markets have to offer. In keeping with our fervent wish to provide good value as well as exceptional quality, there is a weekday £5 Lunch, with 3 daily-changing dishes (Fast, Fresh and For a Fiver) in addition to the longer daily lunch and dinner menus. And Thursdays are always special with something always happening for our customers, whether it's a beer or wine tasting or some free tasting plates of our chefs' wonderful food.

A great gastro pub for a drink, a snack, lunch, dinner, sitting outside in warm weather and just enjoying.
