Tufnell Park Tavern

Delicious and affordable Mediterranean food. Everything is fresh. Nicely decorated place. Friendly staff. You do not need to wait for long to be served.

I absolutely love this place. The interior is so welcoming and warm thanks to the fireplace, the outside patio is brilliant, and the food is the cherry on the cake. I cannot recommend it enough.

We live in the area and like to go there every other week as a treat. Lovely menu, great space and facilities, and the breakfast bar is also excellent. The cured ham croquettes are just the best, and I’m Spanish!

Great pub — spacious, nice outside area, good vibes and delicious pizza! The best pub in the area as far as I’m aware.

It took me ages to go into this pub, mostly because it’s a bit nicer looking than my usual pub-​style. After a few months of walking past it with my dog, to and from Foxham Gardens (dog friendly! shameless plug!), I decided to pop in for a drink with a friend. Since then, I’m hooked.
Things I like:
They have great pizza, lots of sitting room, nice nibbles, and nice indoor/​outdoor options. They allow dogs in, and have never once complained about letting him sit on the couch with me. As someone else mentioned, they have a farmer’s market on Sundays or Saturdays or something… And they are open in the mornings for breakfast and brunch. Work-​friendly, you can always bring your laptop there and sip your drink while enjoying the free wifi. Plus, it’s super family friendly — there’s the pub area, the outdoor area, and a restaurant style area. Sunday roast, etc… Okay, there’s a lot of things I like.
The things I don’t like:
On occasion, you can find yourself being snubbed. I’m not sure if it is because I go in solo sometimes, but certain employees make you feel rather un-​welcome. It’s not a posh place but some people like to put on airs…
And it is a bit more expensive than necessary. Debbie downer, but still a good place.
I’ll keep going back, mostly because my dog can sit on the couch while I have a beer!

I really like this pub.
The space:
— It’s huuuuge, so I have never had a problem finding a table, even with a large group
— They have a nice beer garden with plenty of tables if you feel like soaking up the sun like a lizard OR if you fancy shade, there are shady tables too.
— As well as the pub, there is a large dining room on one side
— There are nice hot fires in winter next to comfy sofas
Extra reasons for me to like it:
— They have an art gallery upstairs (I think it’s called the red hand gallery)
— The pub is dog friendly, so you can spend time cuddling local pups
— They have a farmers market outside on Saturdays
— It’s the closest pub to my flat (I realise this won’t help most of you, but I am soooo glad that this pub is my local!)
— Their cloudy cider is lovely in summer, and the mulled wine is lovely in winter
— Almost everything I’ve tried food-​wise has been good (the pizzas aren’t the best in London, but ours wasn’t bad… I just prefer the non-​pizza options)

The ratatouille was solid with some well cooked veggies included, but the taste was a bit heavy/​greasy and the flavor was less involved than I would have liked.
Certainly not bad though!
I tried the pizza my friend had and was let down.
It’s okie dokie.

This pub is my local pub, unfortunately it is not great. The beer is good quality however only 3 – 4 ales on tap. Prices very high £4.50 for lager. The atmosphere is ok, overall in short if this wasnt my local I wouldn’t go out my way to vist it

On our way to the Emirates stadium we stopped at this Pub not knowing what to expect and we had a great dinner! If you come early on (before 7.30pm) there is a great 2-​course menu for £12.50. The starter with asparagus was delicious and so was the main course (guinea fowl). Fast and friendly service, spacious restaurant area, separated from the pub and it seems like there was a nice outdoor area as well. Sounds like this is a great local, a gastropub that does merit its gastro label. Worth a try.

Nice looking pub, but expensive and full of the ‘yummy mummy’ set with their screaming kids. Sounds like a crèche on a Sunday so don’t expect a quiet pint!

One of the friendliest and happiest taverns I have seen and been into in a long while… And as a bonus once a Month Tuf Poets have a large Ground floor room next to the bar for a poetry evening. The food menu is excellent as is the selection of ales. Only a two minute walk from Tufnell Park underground station (Northern Line).If you’re not keen on poetry just go anyway for the great atmosphere and beer.

Nice pizzas and a very good atmosphere.
