Arkley Barnet in Barnet

Was a really lovely experience ! Everything was amazing , from staff, service , food and atmosphere as well. Definitely worth going back ! Manager , Olivia she is a warm host , very polite and happy to welcome guests with an honest smile and positive attitude .

I went in to the pub carpark out of opening hours to see if there was a menu on display to see what food is served but never got the time to return and was issued a parking fine through the post when I challenged it I was told that as I was in the carpark out of hours the fine could not be contested

The pub was understaffed which meant that we waited 30 minutes to order. A bit annoying especially when I saw one of the waiters standing there talking to what looked like one of his friends… Food was okay. It came out on the colder side. The plus was definitely desert which satisfied all my sticky toffee pudding cravings.

The food was delicious. Amazing service.

Delicious food especially the Sunday Roasts Great service Child friendly Great for large groups with kids

We went for a Sunday Roast, food was tasty, atmosphere was good. I'd recommend it.

Horrible Sunday roast, under cooked, cold,

Second visit recently to this very good pub/restaurant. Warm welcome, efficient and attentive staff, Varied menu, excellent well presented food and good value for money. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We dine every week at The Arkley. Worthy of high praise was our delicious lunch today (21 November) served by the friendly, delightful and efficient Olivia and Rayinder and prepared by the talented chef Tudor. Updated again on 16 September 2023. We were welcomed by the professional, very friendly and highly efficient triumvirate of Mahmut, Adrian and Olivia, where we enjoyed a first class lunch. We are astonished by the negative review of Adrian who is welcoming, helpful and highly professional with all his customers, without exception, in our experience.Updated 9 May 2023. We have just had yet another superb lunch served by the affable and extremely efficient General Manager, Mahmut. There is no longer a need for us to travel to the West End of London when outstanding cuisine and service is available locally. Delicious food and friendly and efficient customer service from the managers Adrian and Olivia and their helpful staff, all in a tranquil environment. In our opinion undoubtedly the best Pub in the vicinity and also within a much wider radius. Highly recommended by our family.

Food was very nice as always, very lovely lunch with my colleagues, friendly waiting staff We'll be back soon.

We booked a table for four inside for Sunday lunch. It was a very warm day and asked if we could instead, sit outside. The service and reply was great. Very friendly and of course it was fine to sit anywhere we wanted to. All the staff were ever so friendly and approachable. Evanthia was a delight to chat to. Maybe because we have the same surname (haha) and no, we're not related. We've already decided on returning this sunday. I don't want to mar the fabulous service at all but what i would like to say is that the inside did smell rather fishy and I'm glad we sat outside. Yes I know it's a bar/ restaurant but some more ventilation would be good. Apart from that. Excellent.

Had a lovely evening with friends. Our server Olivia was amazing, knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations. I ordered 2 starters. the Grilled octopus and the seared scallops that were delicious. The passion fruit Martini was tasty and it was great ambience for a Thursday night.

Adrian went above and beyond as a server and Sorim’s food was absolutely delicious. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at The Arkley - we will definitely be back for more!

I had the pleasure of being at The Arkley last Friday to celebrate my retirement. We started with lunch, which was delicious, especially the carrot and coriander soup. Then stayed for the evening. In the end around 40 guests attended and the Arkley, was so a welcoming and comfortable, we spent over 7 hours there. Olivia the manager was so cheerful and accommodating. Thank you Olivia and team for a wonderful time at The Arkley, I will definitely be back.

Good selection of VERY good food, above average prices. Great atmosphere.

Time kept changing and was later than the original time. Otherwise enjoyable meal.

Lovely leisurely mid week lunch. We especially liked the carrot soup, pan roasted lamb and mini desserts. Good, friendly service.

Very nice place… very clean and beautiful interiors.. After long had fresh plant base burger… Olivia was a excellent host.. will definitely visit again

My 2 friends and I have just returned from another lovely lunch date at The Arkley. The food and atmosphere were brilliant as always. Olivia and Mattan looked after us well. We shall definitely return soon :)

First time here and we definitely enjoyed it. Great roast and lovely service from the team

I booked the Arkley for a 'Celebration of Life" reception in a private area of the restaurant for 20 guests. I pre ordered from the buffet menu and brought a celebration cake with me and opted to offer an open bar to our guests. Overall the food was very good. The staff were extremely friendly, from making the booking to the day of my event.

Very welcoming people in there, milad and Reza were friendly , perfect service , if you looking for somewhere to get excellent service is right place to enjoy

Quality of food always good Service excellent young waitresses very personable.Manager very polite and welcoming

Well done reza! We hadn't met each other for many years and he made our reunion a great success!!

Very nice place with great service and nice waiters and waitresses, especially Mr. Reza and Mr. Milad. They are great customer service agents with good attitudes.

Excellent, high end pub grub served by competent and polite staff who took trouble to quickly find an indoor table as the evening chill set in and even waived cost of a glass of wine when I clumsily knocked it over. Very kind staff appreciated and the mains and puds enjoyed were top notch. Many thanks!

Amazing! Great service and ambience. First time here and already thinking about when we can come back. Very nicely done bangers and mash, and well executed duo of beef roast (wife loved it). Sea bass received compliments from friend too. MR Reza very nice and good service we are happy for choice.

I was here a few days ago, everything, food, drinks and customer service was excellent, the communication and behavior of one of the staff named Reza was very friendly.1

We went to the Arkley pub for Sunday Roast. We had half chicken and Pork belly scallops. The food and drinks were spectacular and the service was great. Reza took care of us very well.

Shocking service. The place was not busy, we got there around 7pm yet many items from the menu were not available. The food we did have was at best mediocre. We asked for our waitress to be replaced as she couldn't be more lack lustre if she tried. The new waitress was apologetic and obviously was embarrassed and did her best. Last time we went to the Arkley I said it would be the last, but foolishly gave it another go.

We sat outside, the outside area was filthy. The patio area was covered in napkins, bags and just general rubbish. We were disappointed to be honest. The outside area looks tired

Late Sunday evening visit. Fairly quiet which suited us! Friendly and pleasant Bar Staff.

Delicious food as always lovely staff,sign up to get offers,had a lovely meal again today 15th March As always Amazing food and service from all staff (14,8,24) ty again

The Atmosphere was good but it was just a bit cold for me.

We had a nice relaxing lunch time meal for four hours! Three couples had a lot of catching up to do haha

Lovely lunch at The Arkley today with fantastic, friendly service from Olivia. Would definitely recommend.

Visited this place recently for a baby shower. Really nice atmosphere and food was good. Staff are really helpful and polite will visit again when in area.

Disappointing as the grill wasn't working, so no burgers or steaks were available. Had we know before would have cancelled and rebooked.

We had a good experience here at the Arkley, food was great 👍 staff were very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed a nice cold beer with my meal.

Would like to say a huge thank you to Olivia and the rest of the team for making our visit a very pleasant experience. Food was delicious and the cocktails were on point. Even though they are very busy Staff are very polite and attentive. We will be back to see you all soon

Warm welcoming atmosphere, with a fantastic front of house team. Food here is absolutely delicious. Well done to the chefs. Thank you 😋🥰🍷

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Arkley Barnet is a hidden gem! From the warm, elegant decor to the delightful menu, every detail is thoughtfully curated. The staff is incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. The food is exquisite, with each dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. I highly recommend the Sunday roast – it's perfection on a plate! Whether for a casual lunch or a special dinner, The Arkley Barnet never disappoints. Can't wait to visit again!

Lovely atmosphere, delicious food and wonderful service

Popped in for a quick pint and had a lovely conversation with the deputy manager. Lovely atmosphere and I was was made feel welcome. Good prices. Will be back with my family to dine in.

Very nice atmosphere. Loved the sharing dessert platter. The waiters are helpful and very nice too. Loved it, will definitely come to chill there again.

The food was delicious Service was a little slow, but I still go back

My father and I visited for some Friday beers and dinner and unfortunately it wasn't the meal we'd hoped for. I won't go into detail but we ordered two meals and they both came incorrectly. Disappointing to say the least. The staff were friendly enough and did everything they could to rectify it and I appreciate their efforts.

We chose from the new wine & dine menu all the courses were delicious and the staff were attentive and friendly as always we really enjoyed our visit.

Very good Sunday Roast. The chicken was a bit dry

Well done higher-end pub grub. Great service and ambience. Clean and accessible baby changing facilities (and high chairs). First time here and already thinking about when we can come back. Very nicely done bangers and mash, and well executed duo of beef roast (wife loved it). Sea bass received compliments from friend too. Billionaire fries were meant for baby (she ended up sleeping through) which meant we got to enjoy it - very more-ish!

Lovely place food very good staff very friendly and chilled out places

Georgia was great - took our order promptly and served with a smile !

Amazing experience with Georgia! Thank you

We recently went to the Arkley for dinner and had a great time with a wonderful waitress called Georgia, who took great care of us! Will definitely be coming back

Thanks to Georgia and chef Alex. We had a really good time.

Amazing atmosphere and food :) Also my waitress Georgia was very friendly. would recommend :))

I went to the Arkeley last week with my family, and we had a great time, largely thanks to our server, Georgia. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations and always checking if there was anything more she could do to help us. The food was great, with lots of vegan and vegetarian options. I will definitely be coming back!

My sisters and I love The Arkley. The welcome is warm and friendly, and the atmosphere is filled with great food smells, lively conversations, topped off by FAB service! Thank you, Reza, for your engaging smile, efficiency, and attention to detail. We appreciate you.

Visited The Arkley once again and what can I say : service with a smile from Georgia and Olivia ! Will definitely back and highly recommend it!

I took my mother here for lunch, after a hospital visit for her to cheer her up and we had a really wonderful 3-course lunch. We have been a couple of times before and this is our favourite pub for lunch when over that way, as we live in south London. As ever, the food and service were superb. Our waitress Georgia was so friendly, kind and attentive. She was a real credit to the pub and even went above and beyond in opening the disabled toilet for my mother when we asked for the key, a very kind & thoughtful action from her. The manager Olivia we remembered from previous visits and again, as always, she was so friendly and thoughtful in how she helped us. Really friendly and relaxed, which we loved. As ever, the food was superb. We have never have a bad course, let alone meal since we started coming a couple of years back. The scallops were delicious and the lamp rump superb. The sticky toffee pudding was perfect to finish. There is also a great wine list, which went well with our food. Thanks to Alex & Adrian in the kitchen for the great work on the food. It was lovely to be informed of who our service and cooking team were, so that I can personally thank them here. Also helped us leave a tip worthy of all the team as I sometimes feel as a customer everywhere that the kitchen staff get missed out of personal positive feedback. Gave a real personal touch to our lunch which we very much appreciated. It is very clear there is a brilliant team here, who enjoy working together. This shows in the great pub they are running together. Great venue, great food & drink and superb service. Cannot recommend this pub enough. Well done and thanks very much for taking such great care of us. Many thanks, Jason & Vivienne.

A wonderful venue for a private party. Food was served hot and was delicious. Staff were extremely friendly and helped whenever asked. Parking was great too. Our guests were very complimentary.

Great service from Georgia friendly and pleasant

Went in two days in a row, hospitality, food, atmosphere is just brilliant alongside services and the staff are amazing especially Jake who went above and beyond to ensure we was well looked after and was very intentive alongside the duty manager Olivia - would definitely be going more often and recommended this amazing gastro pub to anyone looking for a lovely meal/drink!

We had fabulous experience in The Arkley Barnet for my mom's birthday. The dinner was amazing and reza served us with attention and passion.Thank you for a wonderful time.We will definitely go there.

I visited Arkley Barnet a couple of days ago. MILAD took care of me very well. Scallops, the Rebye Steak and sticky toffee pudding are my favourites in Arkley. Keep up the good work 👏 🙌

I recently visited Arkley in Barnet with my family and had the pleasure of dining at a charming country club. Adrian, the manager, provided excellent service and was attentive to our needs. We indulged in a delightful feast of Spit-Roasted Chicken, burgers, and gammon. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere at the country club was also fantastic, creating a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience for everyone. Overall, it was a memorable culinary experience in Arkley, Barnet. #doctorfoodielondon

Food was great! Excellent customer service. Would visit again.

Lovely friendly Romanian barmaid nice and chatty . Nice pub

Lovely service, food and staff were exceptional.

Me and my friends came here after we had spent the day at the studio tour. We were greeted and sat very quickly. Our server was Jayke and he was a pleasure from start to finish. He even stopped to have conversation with us even though there was only the two staff members on shift. Jayke is a real credit to the team and was very patient with us and allowed us the time we needed to choose the food and puddings. Thank you so much to everyone the food was gorgeous. The diablo pizza was delicious and my partner enjoyed their salad. I will definitely be returning.

Reza adriam - waiter, provided an excellent service. Was attentive at all times and Reminded us of the voucher we had been sent which actually saved us a considerable amount on this visit. He said he appreciated us as customers Food is up to its usual excellent standard

Been here several times for lunch/dinner/tea, always amazing service from Olivia. Food quality is high and ambience was great. Looking forward to coming again.

Thank you so much , great service and manager was amazing, i can forgive my lamb being overcooked you did the hardest bit perfect scallops

come here many of times and olivia is always more then enough she always has a great welcoming voice and will definitely be back soon

Service is way too slow. Waited over 30 mins just to order

Was a lovely experience and the food was awesome

Great service and great food as usual

Had a Pizza which was average. Service was slow and the place was not busy.

Superb experience. Food and service flawless.

Great pub serving the best selection of foods - specifically Sunday roast dinners.

Everything was fine. Service was prompt and professional.

Excellent service and delicious food,I was tuesday and I was served by Olivia ,such a lovely girl professional and verry kind.thank you

Didn't eat Very quiet at lunchtime and afternoon It's ok

Absolutely lovely ambience. Very friendly staff. Asked to put a candle on the dessert as a surprise...and they pulled it off so well. Special thanks to Jaswinder too..{hope I got name right) she was amazing. X

Thank you to Adele for excellent service!

Enjoyable evening with friend. Great food and great service, especially from Jayke

Jayke. Was our waiter. He was attentive, welcoming and patient while he took our drink orders and gave us time to choose our menu. Food was delicious. Lamb tender and cooked to perfection.

Lovely place, great cocktails, nice atmosphere.

We had a lovely roast dinner here - this is a nice gastro pub/restaurant to have a Sunday lunch at. The portions for the roast dinners are huge - we have been a couple of times and never have starters or desserts if we're having the roast because it's plenty filling enough on its own. I would say that the one roast which is a bit disappointing is the chicken - on a previous occasion I opted for just the roast chicken and found some parts of the meat were rather dry. On this occasion my husband chose the trio of roasts and found the pork and beef lovely, but again the chicken part of the roast was very dry. The rest of the roast was excellent - this time I had the pork belly and was very impressed, well flavoured, melt in the mouth with a good ratio of fat to meat. The sides (potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire, gravy) were all excellent and very tasty. You can ask for more gravy for free with the roast. The only other slightly disappointing part was the stuffing. Some of the roasts (the pork and the trio) come with "stuffing wrapped in bacon" - the stuffing is a tiny ball of packet stuffing with a little bit of bacon around it and quite dry - not terrible, but not a particularly worthwhile addition to the meal as it stands. There is a good drink selection, and plenty of non alcoholic options including some nice mocktails. The Arkley is easily walkable from chipping Barnet - approximately 20 minutes from the high street, although they do also have a car park and you can hop on a bus from Barnet. Very easily accessible to get to, and seems accessible when inside too.

We had a lovely lunch . The food and drinks were delicious. The service in the Arkley is relaxed and friendly. Thank you.

Went today for my birthday lunch .excellent service and food. Added extra of happy birthday song - thank you . We will definitely return. Thank you all so much

Enjoyed the set lunch menu on a friday. Kids had colouring activities to keep them busy. Lovely decor and friendly staff. Clean toilets and baby change.

Olivia is the bar attender, she was very friendly and made our cocktails. The cocktails were amazing. We will ensure that every time we visits that our cocktails are made by Olivia.

I came here with a few friends for a drink after work. Olivia served us and was making us cocktails which were absolutely delicious! Olivia was very friendly and a tentative and made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back again. She is a credit to this place and we will be back because of her.

The restaurant was nice and cosy, staffs were great, helpful and friendly. Food was normal, I had a burger with was well done and normal. The starter (cheese) and ketchup beside it, was really delicious.

The staff were really thoughtful and friendly. Service was quick. and the food was excellent and good value. Will be back again soon. Thank you!

Rajinder makes the best coffee in North London. The coconut macaroons compliments it perfectly. The beer is very good also. Arkley's best pub.
