The Tav is hands down the best pub in the New Barnet/East Barnet area. It’s a fairly big ol’ place, with seating at the back and a relatively recently re-done outside patio area. There’s no airs and graces or anything like that. It’s just a good boozer with friendly staff, easy-going crowd and decent food(look out for the chicken kiev, chips & beans combo — probably can’t be beaten). It’s the sort of place you can go for a quick drink after work, a longer 5 – 10 drinks after work or if you can’t face being at your desk for 1 minute more and desperately need some lunch.
