Tucked away in an anonymous looking road, it was quite a surprise to find such a lovely pub, its interior appropriately festooned with anything vaguely nautical or watery - barometers, paintings of ships - even bath taps.

Two beautiful model boats sit in front of a large stained glass window alongside fresh flowers, whilst a scattering of Tiffany lamps create a warm, glowing atmosphere. There are no sideway glances when you come here (well, apart from the pub's menagerie of dogs and cats) - just relaxed regulars and pleasant service.

Along with three well-kept ales, you'll find some really great food, freshly prepared by the landlady herself. Repeated visits cemented this pub's position as Barnet's first (and only) award-winning five pinter.

FOOD REVIEW: Small traditional menu, such as Lamb shank for £5 - yes a fiver - and various desserts, including Jam roly poly, for £2.50. Everything excellent. Served every day until 9pm (ish).

FOOD RATING: 3 FOOD VALUE: 1

CLIENTELE: skewed slightly towards older locals, a sheep (recently baa-rred)
NEAREST STATION: High Barnet station
PHONE NUMBER: 020 8449 7249
FEATURES: real ales, dog friendly, outdoor seating, quiz night Thursday, TV (small screen)
