Clissold Arms in Haringey - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had a wonderful evening for my husband’s birthday party . The planning was superb, The spaces were delightful,an outside terrace and an atmospheric inner room. The home cooked food was exceptional and all our guests loved it. Costa and the serving staff looked after us superbly and couldn’t be more helpful . The whole experience was really special. I would highly recommend the venue if you love good food and a great atmosphere.

I arranged a surprise 60th birthday party for my wife. The venue was great, the private room was perfect. The staff were very friendly and helpful, before, during and after the party. The food was very good, in which all our 50+ guests commented, saying the same thing. My wife enjoyed the surprise and party, as did all our guests, a great night had by all!! A great venue for a party ….. we returned since for the Sunday roast, which i also highly recommend.

We hired the whole venue - for a big party. The food, atmosphere and decoration - along with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff - was incredible. We are forever grateful!

I have been meeting a group of friends here for coffee on a monthly basis for a couple of years now. The staff are really friendly and the space is perfect for a catch up.

What a great place! We live locally but never went here before… until now. Food is really good, and they take pride in it - quality ingredients, generous portions, and truly authentic Greek. My mother is a genuine die-hard foodie and she enjoyed it very much (which is no easy feat). The outdoor seating and atmosphere is lovely too, especially on a beautiful day. We usually go to another Greek once a week, but this just might become our new regular!

I have never seen such BAD HYGIENE. Stand where the till is and see inside the kitchen. The chef was eating from a bowl into her mouth with her fingers and then placing food on customers plates with her fingers. The young waiter took a phone call in the middle of talking to customers, and came across as arrogant. I had high expectations but sending the open kitchen video to the Food standards agency because there are laws that restaurants MUST follow and what goes on here, is a contravention of said standards. No parking was available, we parked quite a distance away.

A gastro-pub with a garden, famed for the 'Kinks Room' which has some memorabilia. Facilities for parties and a good sized indoor dining area. Parking space is limited to approx. 6 cars. Food is good and at fair London prices.

Great Guinness - lovely outside space. Didn't eat but will be back to try out their food.

Came for a private party .. my nephew got 💍.. lovely food.. snacks and also the staff were very helpful.

We felt super welcome. Amazing service of waiter Nico with great recommendations, passion and knowledge about everything. We had great conversation with him and other staff. Definitely we'll be coming back

I was a teenager growing up in NZ & loving British bands in the '60s so a visit to The Clissold Arms was a must on my very recent UK trip. Spent 30 mins alone in The Kinks bar having a pint, a good look at the amazing memorabilia & absorbing the amazing "feel" of the bar. If you're a Kinks fan like me, this it baby, a must do!!

Brilliant, personal service. The waiter took time to explain every dish in detail and gave the background of where all the ingredients came from, which really made the experience fun and interesting! The food was delicious and having grown in North London, not all greek food blows me away like this place did. It was fresh and authentic and highly recommended! We will definitely be back soon!

Cute Greek pub that even feels vaguely Mediterranean when you're in the 'beer garden'! Good food and great for gatherings. Pleasant, informal atmosphere.

Staff not good , overpriced, expensive drinks.

I hosted a dinner party with some music and dancing for 17 women, the service before the event with regards to coordination, and the service on the evening was incredible! The space was perfect, they let us decorate in advance and were super flexible. It was very good value for money versus other private rooms I looked at in London, and it opens onto the courtyard which was great for a summer evening. My only slight feedback would be that there was way too much food, so much that people had a little bit of an anxiety around what to do with it all! I guess that’s a nice problem to have, but I would recommend making the portion sizes smaller, especially when you have multiple courses

Lovely place great staff and food is great

We recently celebrated a birthday here and the customer service both organising the private room in advance and on the day was amazing. The food is delicious and consistently good. It offers authentic Greek cuisine but also does a fantastic Sunday roast! Staff are always super helpful and go above and beyond, they are also very tolerant of kiddies which we always appreciate ✨

Quick dinner post work on a Friday evening. Great ambience. Slow service but they were very very packed. Good quality -price. Compensation for the slow service with complimentary dessert was much appreciated. Will definitely repeat!

Great Gastro Greek food , service , atmosphere and food were excellent and large portions. Will definitely recommend and return what a great place for a family meal.

Amazing meal and the staff couldn’t do more to make our day really special. Food was outstanding. Very authentic and the seafood was so fresh!

Held a private event for 180 people. Highly recommend. Great venue and incredible helpful staff

Fantastic vibe, delicious food and great service - thank you Themis! 😊

Clissold arms offered us the venue with teas and coffees for a charity event we did. The staff were brilliant in helping us set up and during the day.

super nice atmosphere, great hosts

Decent service, but younger guy was rude and not friendly, at all

Great food & extremely attentive staff, Nikos made us feel very welcome & the lamb kleftiko was particularly amazing - we will be back!

I hosted a surprise 50th birthday for my husband in the kinks room and it was a great event. Bianca kept in touch with me and went through all the details and was so helpful. Kosta and his team were amazing and went above and beyond to help me pull the party off. Everyone complimented the food and said it was great. Would definitely recommend this place to all friends and family especially if you want a private event. A massive thank you to Kosta.

My friend and I are huge Kinks fans, we visited from Australia. We experienced the most lovely hospitality from Costa, we had the most delightful and relaxing time in the Kinks room listening to a huge selection of their albums. The food and wine and hospitality were second to none. We will be back. Thank you Costa, we appreciated you so much.

I went to a party here in the back room, from start to finish everything was excellent. The room was the venue for the first ever public gig by The Kinks and is full of wonderful memorabilia. The staff were so welcoming and the food was amazing, genuine Greek mezze - I think a lot of people were regretting having eaten earlier as what was described as ‘light nibbles’ was enough to feed an army! A perfect party venue.

A mixed group of friends (8) booked an evening there with live entertainment ‘Greek and International music night’. The Venue- have been a couple of times for a drink and always pleasant and nice atmosphere. The Live Music-very poor, we are Cypriot and we all reached the conclusion that the musician was not Cypriot or did not know the lyrics. The Food-overall we happy with the quality. Quantity, very questionable portion sizes for the price. We had 5 starters, 8 mains, 4 spirits, 5 beers,7 soft drinks, but read comments under The Bill. Service-not enough staff, a little slow but average. The BILL-we asked for our bill which came fairly quickly. We do not normally check the bill too closely as once we divide it equally we know if it’s acceptable or not…..£60 per person, total £473..we carried on talking and laughing preparing to pay when I asked’ who had soup’? Nobody had soup. We then checked the bill and went to question it. Whilst waiting and on further examination we discovered charges for 3 full types of starts but only received around half, the soup, pork kebab, chicken kebab, kleftiko and lamb cutlets all we never had. When directed to our waitress to question she just told us to go back to our table and she’ll come to us. Within 2 minutes she brought us a new bill of £366…how?…..sorry I gave you the wrong bill was the reply. Very strange coincidence that the only other large table of 7 had same plus more food than us foodies and exactly the same drinks. She was also telepathic because she never asked us what the problem was before bringing us the new bill. Not an inexperienced waitress but more like a well trained professional. Conclusion-AVOID The story didn’t finish as one of the group called and was offered a bottle of wine on the next visit.

I privately hired the kinks room for a birthday party. The staff were super friendly and super helpful, supplying everything we needed for the night. And for a very reasonable pric!

Visited for the first time with friends. We were warmly greeted by Dimitris who was a fantastic & very attentive host the whole evening . The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly & the greek food was superb. All the ingredients were super fresh/home made and of the finest quality (explained to us with passion and pride by the wonderful Nicos!). The kalamari/dips/souvlaki meze and the deserts were amazing. If you love greek food you then the Clissold Arms is a must !

Thank you for hosting a surprise party for my mum's 70th birthday. Everyone had a great time and commented on how amazing the food and service was from start to finish. Would highly recommend. We'll definitely be back for another event!

Good service,,, Excellent food and a very nice atmosphere 👌

Nice enough. Big family meal (22+). Staff put up with our faffing. Decent greek cuisine.

Beautiful venue, superb food (the lamb is to die for!) and wonderful service, so kind, welcoming and friendly. Have been a few times to eat and meet friends for drinks. This time we had our baby shower here and it was fantastic. Great venue for events and the staff were wonderful and so helpful. Highly recommended as an events venue, restaurant or place to meet friends for a drink or two!

Lovely place for a family get together. Best mezze and friendly service!

Amazing food, great service, lovely drinks and great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. Veg moussaka was brilliant and all of the food was great.

The Clissold are a great pub and regularly let us use the wonderful Kinks room for our live music events. The atmosphere is always buzzing, the staff are always friendly and really helpful (special shout out to Nicos who is an absolute gem) and the food and drinks are great! Thank you Clissold for making every event a really lovely experience!

We've been coming to the Clissold arms for nearly a couple of years now, and always have a great visit. They're always welcoming, helpful and we love their fantastic garden! Can't wait to be back!

Family friendly, chill atmosphere and great food. Surely recommend it for large bookings !

I had a brilliant 70th birthday party in the Kinks Room in the Clissold Arms. The venue was great, the food fantastic and very plentiful and the staff especially Kosta and Ahmed were just wonderful. A great night to remember and treasure.

Brilliant night we had celebrating a birthday, excellent food and service, so memorable. There was Greek music which gave a fantasy atmosphere, wonderful

I am so glad we chose the Clissold Arms to host my daughter's 18th birthday! The whole process from start to finish was so easy and we really did not have to worry about anything on the night, it was all taken care of. Special thanks to Bianca, events manager and to Costas and Dimitri for all their hard work on the night. I would highly recommend the venue for food, drinks, parties. Nothing is too much. Thank you so much Clissold!

We visited the Clissold recently for lunch and it was a great experience. The service and quality of food was outstanding. I had the special lamb kleftiko my wife had the baby breast of chicken. Both were well seasoned and tasted great. The restaurant was busy with a number of functions going at the same time. They have a good wine list at reasonable prices. The service was really friendly and attentive and the servers Dimitris and Kostas made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We have now booked to return on Mother's Day and sample their traditional Sunday roasts.

We were welcomed as soon as we arrived. We asked for a window seat as we wanted to overlook the garden area. All the staff could not have been more helpful. The food was excellent, the restaurant was traditional and warm, and we were looked after very well. We have been here a few times for family get events as they serve excellent roasts and grills.

We hired the function room for a wake after a funeral. The whole process was straightforward, from menu choice to payment. Service on the day was excellent, attentive but respectful, and the food was excellent also 1 tasty and generous portions. Guests took home the baklava because it was so good.

It was unfortunately a strange mix, Sunday toady plus Greek menu. The experience and cost £180 for four of us was not good value my wife’s starter of two prawns was charged as a main dish for £28 to include chips which were not ordered. Overall food ok but high prices for a pub.

We had one of the best Greek meals for a long time. The service, ambience where fantastic. Vanue for money for a great night out.

So we booked up for about 40 friends. The food was really good. We had the meze and our sons the burgers. The service was top notch. Dimitris (Who I think owns the place) could not have been more friendly or helpful. My Greek brother...

This place cancelled a Conservative run event that was going to host Posy Parker. It was stopped due to pressure from the local Labour Party. Shame on you for standing against free speech and women's rights. I'm never coming here again.

Best Sunday roast in North London! This is my third time eating at the Clissold Arms. I had a beef roast and absolutely loved it and came back with my dad twice to dine on a Sunday. The lamb roast is also out of this world! (My Fav roast option) They also make their own cranberry sauce which is also amazing and tried the apple pie this time round which I loved! Apart from the delicious food, the service is just top notch! Both Nikos and Dimitri are very attentive and made us feel welcome. In addition, they are just very passionate about the food and ingredients used which makes the experience so much better. Will definitely be back and recommend to my friends!

I visited yesterday for the first time for a lovely wine tasting event, great evening and wonderful hospitality. I stayed over afterwards for dinner and everything was great and very authentic. Excellent food and a service which made the difference! I will definitely visit again...

My birthday was made special by Nic & Romeo He bought me out a cheesecake and was very polite. Lovely greek restaurant ans great times

Friendly, passionate family run. Food is really delicious, I have tried the Greek dishes which are the best I've had anywhere. Very welcoming to our young son. We are new to the area but already visited a few times and will be regulars!

I was DJing at a private party so this review is not as a customer. Staff were very helpful, buffet food was excellent. The Kinks - iconic British band - are associated with the place and their memorabilia adds to the atmosphere. All in all it's a great venue.

We had a lovely Sunday roast at The Clissold Arms - tasted amazing and served in generous portions. The service is very friendly indeed and we were made to feel very welcome. They kindly gave us some baklava, which I think is the nicest baklava I’ve had, and a lovely slice of chocolate cake, as we were celebrating a birthday. We’ll be going back to try some of the Greek options on the menu.

Went along tonight for a family meal 5 people in total . Have not visited for quite a few years despite living close by . Was really impressed . The food was excellent and the service equally great. We had a mix of starters , hummus , king prawns , calamari , halloumi and octopus . All were excellent and served with some lovely warm pita . Mains we had moussaka meat and vegetarian , chicken souvlaki and Burger King. The waiter came over and asked us how the food was and explained how they make the food fresh and it really showed in the way it tasted . Good food takes a little time to prepare so if in a hurry maybe order smartly. Really a lovely meal and 5 people with drinks was under £200 . If you haven’t been I would recommend 👌

I was looking for somewhere local(ish) for my party and decided to try the Clissold Arms. From the moment I got in touch, I knew I had made the right decision. In the lead up the party, the staff were incredibly helpful and very responsive....

We held my sister-in-law’s baby shower at the Clissold Arms over the weekend and we couldn’t have picked a better venue for it! Beautiful venue, delicious food and incredibly friendly staff helped make the day perfect. Bianca, Kosta, Dimitris and all the team went above and beyond to make sure the event ran smoothly. In the lead up to event they were on hand to help ease any planning/logistic challenges and on the day they were checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Couldn’t fault the service! For food we had the meze which was delicious and the portion sizes were generous. All guests (approx 30) commented how tasty it was. If you’re looking for a great party venue I would highly recommend the Clissold Arms!

I have been for first time on a Suturday, lunch time. It was my friend 's baby shower. Everything was great, nice location, we had a secluded area for ourselves ( around 30 people), excellent service, food was delicious, especially the tempura prawns and calamari), very nice mocktails and prosecco. Atmosphere was very nice and the staff very friendly and always checking if everything is ok. I believe everyone has a lovely time. Recommended for events like this or just for a nice meal.

The Clissold has very good food and is also a great place to hold a party. The staff are excellent and made a birthday party held there a very fun and smoothly-run occasion.

I went to the chess club here which was quite good. Not many kids but friendly. The pub itself seemed lacking in character. They had a huge garden though with pretty lights.

We had a fabulous experience from start to finish. Period pub setting, warm welcome, exceptional service and delicious food. This was without any doubt the best food, hospitality and overall dining experience we had during our return to the area after several years of being...

Everything was so nice. The starters were all nice, we had gigantes, pastourma, calamari, kolokoto-keftethes, tiger king prawns - all very tasty and fresh. Hot pittas and dips a plenty. Main courses were all great - chicken souvla superb, better than Cyprus! My 13 year olds loved the burgers too. The specialty cheese cake was nice more of a Greek style dessert on a biscuit crumb. Excellent and attentive service throughout and 3 children with us, we all enjoyed the whole experience from the minute we arrived until we left.. very welcoming warm atmosphere.. our guests drove from Bromley and loved the meal.

Came here for my mum's birthday. Staff were very friendly and informative with the menu. They were very accommodating with our toddler and the food was delicious. We had a range of starters and mains and everyone enjoyed their meal. They even brought out a slice of chocolate cake for my mum. We will be coming back to try a Sunday roast!

We had a great time. Was very dog and toddler friendly. My daughter was playing with the staff and having a great time and the food was great

The food was amazing. I need to go back to order the other dishes I didn't have this time.

Freshly made food and very attentive staff served us with great care and professionalism. Nikos made sure that the meals were to our liking and was bending over backward to make sure our family meal was the most excellent experience we could have possibly had....

Always a warm welcome, high quality food and a buzzy atmosphere, coupled with great service. One of my favourite places to eat.

This is a great spot and we had a really memorable experience at this gastro pub serving a full food and wine menu as well as perfectly chilled draft beers. Our server Nikos was delightfully informative as were all the staff. We have never had...

Lovely pub, great selection, amazing staff. The venue has great history and a piano! Just a shame we didn't have time to order food. We're sure to return.

This is a local Greek restaurant with real delicious cooking that was a pleasure to eat. Extensive menu with a good number of choices. Excellent and knowledgeable service from people who have worked for the restaurant for a long time. This is a place to...

Authentic Greek cuisine: great Meze & Lamb Chops + Mousaka 👌

Such a lovely authentic Greek restaurant, the staff are so passionate about the quality of the food and preparation. They go above and beyond to cater for you, bringing food for you to try

On our way back from Go Ape, me and my girlfriend were staving. I searched up “best roast in North London”. We arrived to see authentic Greek food on the sign outside. Skeptical they could deliver a proper roast, we walked in. I ordered the lamb roast. Absolute Gorgeous 10/10 would highly recommend. The tender Greek lamb with the roast is a synergy I never knew I needed. Niko, the friendly gentleman with the moustache had story’s of Greece which enhance the atmosphere, as well as the light jazz throughout our meal. I will be coming back.

Really enjoyed our visit. Excellent service by Dimitris and the Greek meze was one of the best we ever had. My Kleftiko was tasty, tender and the meat melted perfectly off the bone. Even the side dishes were very nice and tasty. Not oily or...

I celebrated a special birthday in the Kinks Room. The support I was given in the planning stages was faultless. Every query and suggestion efficiently dealt with. On the night the service was excellent and the food delicious.

The Clissold Arms put on a great Xmas party for us.The food was lovely and the entertainment was excellent.The staff were particularly attentive and couldn't do enough. Highly recommended !!

Popped in for food as we'd been travelling all day. Although it was relatively quiet (apart from the kids party in another room) brilliant absolutely brilliant. Service was excellent and the food was awesome. Thank you 👏👏

We hired the Kinks room for a private event, and the team at the Clissold Arms went above and beyond to help make it a success. I highly recommend!

Very average food. Lacks atmosphere

Had a funeral here recently and was really impressed with the food and the service. They were really helpful especially at short notice organising.

This historical pub is an absolute gem! Its charming atmosphere and rich history make it a standout venue. It's perfect for accommodating sizable gatherings. The staff's hospitality is exceptional, and Costas especially offered a remarkable service. I can't stress enough how much I'd recommend it!

Fantastic pub. We held a Christmas/band party in the Kinks room. The atmosphere was perfect, the food excellent and the staff welcoming and professional. Highly recommend the Clissold Arms, especially if you like Mediterranean food.

One of the best service i have received! The foods amazing too!

Great experience eating in with a group of 6. Enjoyed the atmosphere and very friendly staff. Our waiter explained every dish and where all ingredients are sourced from. Good quality greek food.

We had a lovely team time, really warm hosting from the staff and a ton of delicious food for veggies and meat eaters. Thank you for great evening

Amazing food and really kind waiters. The manager was very welcoming and kind and has great stories about each unique dish.

We always love going to the Clissold. We like to dine at the bar for the interactive experience. The bar tender Anetta was friendly and attentive and made wonderful cocktails. As soon as we sat down she was making our favourite drinks (Pornstar Martini). The...

This venue has the most amazing authentic Greek food in London freshly prepared on site including their desserts (Baklava with honey, rich butter and dark hazelnuts). plus the best customer service. This pub/restaurant in Muswell Hill makes you feel like you’re in Greece. Dimitris and...

Beautiful pub/restaurant lovely staff so friendly and accommodating!!! Food delicious and freshly prepared.

Had work Xmas event including dinner, music, dancing and quiz - the later arranged with DJ Pat who was great! The food was also great as was the customer service and having a dedicated room that accomdates 50ish with the above. Lovely people and food!...

We held the wake for my mum in the Kinks bar. The staff were wonderful and did absolutely everything they could to make us comfortable. The buffet food was wonderful and there were many compliments from our family and friends. Exceptional value for money.
