Harden's survey result
Summary
“Still one of the best gastropubs in North London”, this Archway tavern “bounced back” from the pandemic and “the food remains as interestingly reliable as ever”. It’s a “lovely place for a treat”, especially under the “beautiful vaulted ceiling in the dining room” (originally built as a ballroom).
Summary
“Our absolute favourite” is a typical verdict on this handsome Archway tavern, well-known across north London for its atmospheric interior (the dining annexe is a converted period ballroom), “imaginative menu and friendly service”. About the worst that anybody says is that it “can be noisy”.
Summary
Handsome Archway tavern that’s “hard to beat when on form” and is one of north London’s best-known gastropubs, accommodating a large volume of diners throughout, and in the large ex-ballroom space at the rear of the pub. It appeared “more variable” in the last survey in general however; in particular the fact that it can be “extremely noisy when full” bothered more reporters, detracting from what’s otherwise a characterful experience. Top Tip – “quieter in the bar”, where you can eat a tidy range of tapas.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
