Pied Bull Enfield in Enfield

We booked a table for 9 but, when we arrived, were sent (not taken) to a table for 8, and it just continued going downhill from there. 10 minutes later, I had to get the attention of a member of staff to ask for menus. There were 5 adults and 4 children at our table, but the guy came back with no kids menus. We asked if they had a kids menu, and we got one. Literally one. Food arrived in dribs and drabs but, after another 10-15 minutes, neither of the starters my wife ordered (instead of a main) had appeared. When she asked and the waiter went to check, he returned to tell her “the chef forgot to make them, so we’ll take them off the bill”… I don’t know which half of that sentence is the most messed up but, unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of it. We ordered one portion of chicken, chips & cucumber and one portion of fish, chips & sweetcorn for the four children to share, and these dishes were put in the middle of the table with no extra plates provided. When we asked for plates for the children, we got two… for four children. We also did not get any sweetcorn as again they “forgot”! One of our party ordered the pork belly, which was served cold and inedibly gristly, so it was sent back and a promise to remove it from the bill was made. For obvious reasons, we didn’t stay for desert and just asked for the bill. When it arrived, the pork belly hadn’t been removed. There was no threat of customer service whatsoever. Nobody asked us if the food was ok, we had to ask for ketchup twice and were brought a tiny little dishful (about the size of a 50p piece) for 4 children to share. What an embarrassing shambles of an establishment. We’d been before under the previous management with no issues, but we definitely won’t be going again.

Had lunch yesterday, new management since May. Beautiful food and wonderful service. Definitely recommend!

37 quid for one cocktail and a double gin and tonic no wonder you was empty never again

Pleasant staff but service was terrible,no service once food order was done and no check back ,we had to ask for everything we wanted . Food was ok ,lots of it ,feel like most of it is pre cooked though as it came out way to fast . Not sure if i would pop back or not .

Very nice Sunday Roast, the chef bought the food to the table and was very friendly. Great interaction from all the staff, and reasonably priced for tasty roast with wine. Will definitely go back

Quiet and historical. Good food and selection of drinks. Friendly and helpful staff. Allow dogs.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with friends. Great atmosphere and service and not too busy

Tilly was so helpful with the antique roadshow style valuation day we held on Thursday, can’t wait for the next one

Great place with simple rustic food. The chicken in garlic is exceptional.

Had a lovely roast dinner today. Was greeted by the lovely new Manager, Tilly. She is a ray of sunshine ☀️ food was amazing and I’m looking forward to seeing how it develops over the coming months

One member of staff was weird 😕 with her service. Very abrupt and cold 🥶 Ordered two pints of Level Head Pale Ale and it was £7.50 a pint! Extremely expensive for what it was and the area - if we were in Mayfair, okay but this is outer London and it is a Greene King pub chain. The pub has a good sized car park and front and rear beer gardens. The pub was once owned by King James the 1st and is a local community hub - apparently. I didn't get a nice feeling and won't be coming back. Considering there isn't that many pubs left in the area, it's a shame that the poor service will only lead to more pubs closing. You may spot a Tottenham Hotspur football player or two in there as the training ground is around the corner 😮

OVER PRICED....AND LESS CHOICE ON THE MENU..... WE VISITED THE PIED BULL JUST RECENTLY.....WE HAD A TABLE FOR 4 PEOPLE..... WE JUST WANTED SOME PUB FOOD AND DRINK AND THE BILL WAS JUST UNDER £200 ....NEVER GOING BACK.....IT WAS BETTER BEFORE...

The Pied Bull Enfield is a strange restaurant. Food is not necessarily bad, but above all expensive. The Pied Bull Burger (with double Patty) is fine. Beer is expensive at £8 a pint. I'll pay for that downtown. I think the biggest disadvantage is the staff. If you ask questions they are quick and correct, but if you don't they don't clear things from other tables and they are mainly talking about things. And that's a shame, because if they change this attitude (simply buzzing the tables outside and inside), then you have a perfect (but somewhat expensive) pub/restaurant.

Potatoes were hard Said long stem brocolli, we got cabbage . Red cabbage was lovely though.

Lunch for 4 people. Steak sandwich was sliced roast beef, hand cut chips were reheated roast potatoes. Greek salad was ok so my friends said. Poor service had to ask for drinks & menus - gruby pieces of paper with food stains! No service after main - no drinks or dessert menu offered. Music head banging. Used to be such a lovely atmosphere and great food - Place was empty usually Fridays could never get a table as was so busy. Sadly won’t be returning - awful experience.

We decided to have dinner at Pied Bull and were very pleased with both the service and the food. The staff was also very friendly and personable. Thank you very much, we can happily recommend the pub!

New management and a big improvement in our view! Especially with the food. The food is now fresh and more inventive as well as tasty. Dogs are very welcome and the atmosphere is as pleasant as it always was. We had the lovely Sunday lunch a couple of times now and, apart from the roast beef being a little overcooked for our taste, the lamb and the pork have been great! The vegetables and the trimmings were great too as were the sweets and starters. We recommend it

Enjoyed the serene country setting, perfect for a weekend outing with delicious locally sourced food. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

You get what you pay for - Average

New management since beginning of May. New menu is limited, plus way overpriced.. Seared Salmon & mediterranean veg was really a small portion. Also expensive are the drinks, 2 Soda & lime juice cost £6.30. Soda in most pubs is cheap or free. After many years we won’t go back there. Joan Wright.

Good atmosphere and staff are friendly and kind.

This week, run out of food so we left. Menu limited and quite expensive. Previous visit ran put of crisps and were having a night off from cooking so no food. Wouldn't make tea or coffee.

Visited last night for its "re-opening". Pub has been closed for a short while and a change of ownership has taken place. The place was packed, atmosphere was buzzing and we had live music also. Lots of happy punters, I think the staff were a bit overwhelmed by the sheer numbers. Lots of people coming back to enjoy a refreshing drink after a hot day. We had a 2 course meal and a couple of drinks, came to about £120. Food was good and very reasonably priced. Thanks Pied Bull.

Most unwelcoming pub. Miserable staff and the place stank of dirty dogs

Popped into the Pied Bull for a drink whilst out on a bank holiday walk. Lovely old quaint low ceiling pub with friendly staff. Menu looked good and will definitely go back and give it a try!

We held my Auntie's wake here to celebrate her life. It was lovely 😍 Everything was perfect. Highly recommend 👌

Went here on a Thursday at 3pm so it was very quiet, therefore no atmosphere. The food was less than okay, not much choice and expensive. I won't be going again.

Lovely friendly, quick service , food was ok 👍

It was my husbands birthday so I asked if they had candles to pop on the desert and the lovely barmaid came out singing happy birthday too. The food was delish as always.

The lady was so rude and unwelcoming. First and last time in the pub. If staff are this rude and not welcoming to people who don’t look English I don’t see them staying open for long. Enfield Isn’t a white only area but she made me and my wife feel out of place.

Appears to be closed for a long time now and no one has done anything with it.

Good selection of food. Friendly. Old atmospheric building

On Sunday my 93 year old dad and 89 year old mum were taken for a special treat to the Pied Bull by their granddaughter. It was the worst meal they have ever been served. My dad was served a pile of unidentifiable mash with two small dried out sausages on top with gravy poured over the top. No vegetables and the parsnip chips which were supposed to come with the meal, on being served the food, were told parsnip chips were not served midday. The menu was very restricted, nothing like we had experienced on a previous visit, so mum had the only fish available, pollock, served at cod prices, tasteless and wet. The person serving was quite surly and disinterested when they said that they had not enjoyed their meal. So disappointing.

Recently held my Mothers wake at this lovely quaint pub. Service was excellent, Hot food and drinks were plentiful and served on our arrival, food was lovely, staff excellent and attentive throughout. Thank you

The last 3 times having lunch in this pub I have asked for a Mocha coffee. Twice I was refused because the bartender was too busy to make it and today he couldn't do it because he didn't have a clean glass to put it in. It's a small detail but annoying enough for us to be looking for a new venue from now on ....... one with a bigger reserve of friggin" Mocha glasses!

Really nice place, it's a struggle if your 6ft tall as the roof is very low, but all the beams have been protected with foam and brushed leather so it's not to hard on the head. Staff are nice and pleasant but could have a smile with the service Food was ok, i had a burger and was burnt but edible, decent portions, but the price is way to high for the quality and portion you get. This isn't the pubs fault, but it's a huge shame the pub just catches the ULEZ charge. This wouldn't be my first choice to eat at, but I would return.

Pretty decent lunch, wild boar sausages and mash. Couldn't eat all the mash and not enough gravy and peas. Sausages were tasty though. Friend has the beef stew, a bit watery bit she said it had flavour. Xmas pudding was small for £5.50. Cheesecake was nice. Not the cheapest of pub grub, would probably have a sandwich next time.

Good beer! That's all I popped in for.

Nice cosy pub ,we had a works reunion and everyone enjoyed the pub and atmosphere, there service was quick and polite, no rush returning

Amanda and her excellent team provided an absolutely exemplary service for a family funeral reception. Food excellent and great value; great private bar area, cosy and full of character; friendly staff; booking professionally and impeccably managed. Highly recommended.

Fantastic pub, staff are very friendly and the food and atmosphere are great 👍 highly recommended.

The food was good but the service was a massive disappointment, the bar man was incredibly rude and tutted at us ordering drinks, making comments about us ordering due to the kitchen staff going on a break soon, and even snapped at my friend for offering a 20% tip due to him wanting the amount and not having to calculate it. Generally just made us feel unwelcome and an inconvenience for being there as customers, it was a massive let down on the experience and I wouldn’t return for this alone due to him being so unprofessional. A shame given that the food was quite good, it just ruined the atmosphere.

We didn't have a problem with the food , but when it came to paying the bill I noticed we were going to be charged for a bottle of wine that we didn't have , also the price of a glass of large wine is at £9.75, the same if you were in a pub in Mayfair, London I wonder why the pied bull was empty in the afternoon, the atmosphere of the pub in like be at a funeral, dead , put some soft music on.

Visited as meeting place after funeral. Food was very nice. It was clean and tidy and the staff were friendly and helpful

Ideal for a funeral tea after service at Enfield Crematorium

Lovely pub, with a great Sunday Roast.

Go here if you want to feel sad and down.. the atmosphere here is worse than anywhere I've been before and the roast pork is more like 2kg of stuffing surrounded by a slim portion of pork. Disgusting roast potatoes and parsnip chips, soft Yorkshire pudding, horrible coleslaw with the burger. Avoid like the plague

Love this pub, very dog friendly too and lovely staff. Food is very good and reasonable prices, with a selection of ales available. Would definitely recommend a visit. Update: been back many times since this was first written 2 years ago, the food just seems to get better and better if that's possible, but the five of us cleaned our plates yesterday lunchtime.

The bar service I experienced was as poor as you could imagine. No smile or friendliness. Note to staff, if the pub is so unpleasant to work at, then leave. There are plenty of pubs seeking staff.

No specials. Small portions. Could have gone to Asda and cooked better. Staff unsmiling

Avoid!!! It does not even deserve one star. Food very poor, microwaved and expensive. To top it off manager is very unhelpful and rude. Please do not be disappointed, choose somewhere else. I wished I read reviews first.

Thank you to the staff at the Pied Bull for making our wedding reception run smoothly. The food and service were fantastic and all our guests were very impressed.

Beautiful place.. Delicious food and great service

food was medium, needed to get a vat receipt for my own meal (not the whole table). asked so upon ordering, lady on the counter sdaid to come back after everyone ordered. came back after lunch and she presented me with the receipt for the whole table, unable to change it stating i didn’t say so on order. bit useless and can’t be that hard given every other place i go to can do this.

Decent food for the price and friendly.

Excellent food Excellent Guinness

Booked a 2nd lunch visit to catch up with friends, having had a good experience the first time a few months back. However we will Not be returning, after what can only be described as the 'full fawlty towers experience '. If you like being shouted at from the minute you walk in, told you'll have to leave within an hour as they have a children's party booked in the adjoining conservatory, in an otherwise empty pub!!, then moved to the smallest table for party size we had, grubby menus for mains, no drinks/dessert menus just the staff shouting the options or showing you their ordering tablet with no prices, lack of customer service, decency and manners, generally feeling like you're being told off whenever you ask for something, and being asked for £100 more than the actual bill then this is the place for you!

Went in for a quick drink on a Sunday afternoon. We weren't eating but wished we were as the food coming out looked amazing. Young lad offered us a table and gave table service despite only wanting drinks, will definitely go back to try the tempting sunday roast.

A medium but varied menu. Outdoor, conservatory and indoor seating. Food was great and a fair price

Quick drink with the one turned messy. Again. Great place

Main meal was fantastic. Highly recommended. However, when we couldn't eat the apple dessert, because it was flavourless, the waitress was Clearly annoyed by this, and could only keep telling us that a customer nearby had enjoyed theirs. Was given a reduction, but only £3 overall not individually. But don't let this put you off rest of menu, it was genuinely gorgeous (just avoid apple dessert!)

visited as en route to holiday and called too see family , 4 adults 3 children , 4 x roast dinner and 2 x chicken nuggets 1 x sausage and mash ... desserts for children ice cream ..... the food was warm ... just and the veg were not al-dente but undercooked .... the children are theirs and were happy with the ice cream ..... drinks were fine ... would happily say food was edible but wouldn't recommend and say the food was nice . deffo worth a visit

Lovely Sunday roasts, but so much more besides. We also had two wonderful desserts. The staff are friendly and the outside areas were great in the hot weather.

Feels like it's stuck in the past: no low-alcohol beers, no milk alternatives. Looks like it needs a bit of TLC to smarten it up. Food was OK. Service functional rather than friendly.

I like this place, proper old school pub vibe, just a pity it can be so quiet of an evening, should be buzzing! Food is good, service friendly and a nice garden in the summer months

The Caesar salad special was actually just a chicken salad with mixed leaves, tomatoes and cucumber for £15.95, I did mention this to the waitress but she disagreed with me, hilarious actually!!!! I suggest they get some training on classic dishes next time before advertising them. Anyway besides that the Batman was very polite and the front garden was lovely. My partner also agreed that it’s always lovely to have a tidy front garden.

We recently had our Funeral drinks at the Pied Bull, it was a lovely venue for the occasion and the food was excellent

Fantastic service good food. Friendly staff will be back!

Lovely liver and bacon meal. Lovely staff.

Very dated inside - a mixture of not-very-good styles - not sure what image it wants to have. No greeting from Staff who seemed as tired as the venue. Disappointed in the "salmon & prawn linguini" which only had 2 small pieces of salmon &, literally, 2 tiny shrimps - cost about £15 if I remember correctly. It's a shame. It could be a lovely place if some heart was put into it.

Absolutely shocking service from start to finish. My family and I had been saying for a long time that we wanted to try The Pied Bull as it looks so lovely from the outside and has so much potential. However, our visit was one of the worst experiences we’ve had in any pub in Enfield. We all agreed the food was very tasteless (we all had roasts) - but to be honest, this wasn’t even our main issue with the pub. Everything seemed like an effort for the staff, our plates weren’t even cleared and we weren’t offered any dessert for around half an hour, so we decided to just get the bill and leave. To end our visit, we didn’t even get so much as a “thanks for coming, have a nice day”. Definitely won’t be returning.

Food lovely. Manager a C..T Rude as ANYTHING!

Friendly staff but very busy so you do have to wait in-between courses. Food very good . Amanda did not stop trying to serve everyone as quick as possible. Will definitely be going back

Lovely birthday meal. Almost 5 stars

Dog friendly. Great food. Lovely staff. Xx

Arranged a wake at the Pied Bull, the Buffett was fantastic and great value the staff were very polite and helpful I would highly recommend

OK pub but it sometimes is not open and closes early

Really friendly staff. Good food (chicken burgers for two of the family and liver and mash for me) and excellent kids menu (proper chicken in the nuggets). Would recommend if you are in the area. Just be careful if you're tall as it's a traditional low ceiling pub.

Lovely place, friendly and helpful staff. Food fantastic, lots of empty plates on tables. Brilliant

Went for a beer, waiting 15 mins for a beer. Still nothing. The lady was rude. Shocking. There is a pub called the King and tinker down the road, served right away all nice people. Cheers 🍺

Friendly atmosphere. Nice beer. Free parking. Brilliant

Nice food and eloquent pub, portions slightly small

Went in today for a drink and sat at the bar for approximately 25 minutes being totally ignored. I appreciate that the lady behind the bar was very busy but she didn’t even offer eye contact to acknowledge that we were there. When I brought this up to her she was very rude didn’t care and brushed me off! Absolutely disgusting attitude!!!

Had my aunts funeral here it was great the staff are great fun time recommend 100 percent

Very accommodating. Table for 5 plus a dog. Great range of food. Ordered 2 roasts, burger, ribs and a kids meal. Very little waste. Very happy customers

Great selection of food, with extensive choices and vegetarian options. Service was good and very reasonably priced

Still a Stella pub food service and a lovely lunch

Hadn't been here for absolutely ages, happened to be near by and popped in. So glad we did, liked the food, the staff and the service a great deal. We're definitely going back. Another one to add to our favourits list.

Lovely little pub, nice people, delicious food, highly recommend 😀

Nice friendly atmosphere. Nice food.

Cutie little pub cosy with log fire 🔥

Very nice olde worlde country pub.

Popped in for lunch good lamb shank and beef stew. Had run out of our first choices but was 2pm. Would go again if in area and wanted to eat. Oh a nice open fire to keep you cosy

Lovely little place, really friendly staff. Thanks

Amazing Sunday Roast. Worth every penny. Lovely friendly staff. Book to avoid disappointment as it can get busy.

Staff are lovely and friendly, had my father in laws wwake here and the family were well happy with the choice and ample food.

Cosy crackling fire, beams, scrumptious meal.

Nice local pub with good food. Easy access spacious car park which is important to me for taking my elderly mother. Just wish they had a few non picnic bench seats outside too then she could also sit outside. But anyway, it’s very nice inside.

Kamen an einem Samstagabend mit 2 Personen um 19:10Uhr rein und man sagte uns, dass die Küche vor 10min geschlossen hätte. Wir haben uns dann mit einem Getränk in eine nette Sitzecke gesetzt und nach ca. riner halbe Stunde beobachtet, wie ein Tisch mit 6 Personen freundlich mit reichlich Essen bedient wurde. Danke für Nichts!

Fantastic meal excellent service great price what more do you need . Lovely setting.
