The Arkley in Barnet

Visited on a Sunday, early evening. Good food, good wine, we asked to try two before making our decision on which to order. Had a variety of food between us, including the duo of beef which was perfectly cooked. Love the ambience of The Arkley. Service was good too.

Thank you to Mat & Olivia who went up & above to fit a family of 6 into an already packed restaurant as we didn’t book beforehand. Food & service absolutely fantastic. I really recommend in every way & definitely going back. Thanks again you made our family get together a fabulous day.

I often visit the Arkley as it’s not only my local but a really good restaurant/pub. It’s divided into different spaces with an attractive bar, and two different seating areas - very attractive. It also has a terrace and parking! It serves excellent food, is child friendly and the welcome and service are brilliant.

I chose the Lamb Rump for lunch yesterday but what I got was a large lump of fat with barely a morsel of meat to be seen. I retuned the meal and was told via a Waitress from the chef that if he cooked another piece of Lamb rump it would be the same! Why is he serving something that is not fit for consumption. I was offered an alternative dish. The Manager seemed reluctant to come to the table until he was called. I felt that he should have come willingly and offered his apologies and not just left it to a part time student who was waitressing and doing a very good job. A poor experience for me and the other seven people we were dining with. Will give it s miss in future.

As soon as we walked in to the pub I was impressed by the decor. I haven't been there for many years and they have really smartened it up cso it looks like a nice comfy hotel. We went for Sunday lunch at really enjoyed it. The waitresses (old fashion term I know) were very pleasant and only made one mistake with the order which wasn't a problem. I had a feta and king prawn starter in the most amazing red sauce. Really great. The other starters were all well received. But the highlight was the Sunday roast beef duo which we all gad. Absolutely superb. A huge portion which is always a good start, loads of veg really well vooked and the beef was ever so tasty. We were so full up by the end of that that we just had a single scoop of honeycomb ice cream.

Amazing food loved the pizzas and linguine will defo be back and the sticky toffee was perfect wil be back washed down with a really good alberino

The food is presented well but tastes like a glammed up microwave meal which at around £16 + feels like a rip off. I've tried it, lesson learned wont be coming back.

Finn our waiter was brilliant. He helped settle in and made the birthday meal very enjoyable. A great night.

The staff service was excellent and very friendly when taking my order & the food was also amazing. Would definitely recommend to other friends and family as a great restaurant for a night out.

We have been for a number of Sunday lunches which have all been great so we decided to bring family here for Easter Sunday. The food was lovely. Nice variety on menu and all chosen dishes delicious. Stand out quality is amazing care on service. Some of my party have allergies and the server could not have been better in caring for all our needs from the 80yr olds to the young. May I especially commend our server Adele who exceptional in her attention and kindness to my family. Most wonderful efficient and kind attention. Thank you

Huge thank you to the wonderful Rajinda who was quite literally the hostess with the mostest! She was running around taking drinks orders, food orders, stoking the wonderful fire we were sat next to and just generally making everyone feel welcome 😊

Always sleeked up and down when you go there. Either really good or really not so good. Hope it is doing well and food is good because it’s a lovely building

Absolutely fantastic! What a brilliant find. Olivia and her team were just fabulous and the food was the best pub food I’ve had in a long time, the standard, portions and flavours were exceptional. Have rebooked for a birthday lunch already, 5 stars all round!

We had a great festive dinner at the pub. It was an amazing experience with great atmosphere and professional service.

Great lunch and an impeccable service for our mums birthday. They even sang happy birthday. Thank you.

Had a lovely meal out with friends. Our waiter Finn was excellent. Extremely attentive and helpful throughout our meal.

Went for a Christmas dinner was greeted very friendly and seated straight away. Food was really nice, great atmosphere and all staff very friendly and attentive. Would definitely be going back and would recommend!!

Having lived in Barnet for many years I’d never visited The Arkley because of mixed reviews but decided to pop in for a drink the other night just out of interest. Having arrived my brother and I went to the empty bar and waited to...

The restaurant was freezing cold. The main course took 45 minutes to arrive and it was below average food. We had the festive menu and it was unremarkable in ever way.

We visited The Arkley for lunch with friends and were delighted with the menu options. The pub had a great atmosphere and the food was amazing. I had the scallops and pork belly which were cooked to perfection. Definitely one of the best pub meals...

Another great visit to the Arkley the festive menu was very yummy! Highly recommend the beetroot & mulled wine tarte tatin / hand carved turkey with all the trimmings/ snowball smash 10/10

Came for a Sunday roast with my partner, son and his girlfriend. Three of us had the roast sirloin of beef and one of us the roast duo of beef. Absolutely delicious. The beef was tender and not a bit of fat in sight, roast...

like I said 4th time I’ve been here as couple as family and as Xmas do… gotta say if you book.. the experience is top drawer… the food is superb the staff service top class the beers and range class the only downside to this...

The pub had a really nice atmosphere. My husband booked this for my birthday dinner. The food was good and tasty. One thing I had never experienced is the fact, that my husband had an allergy and basically had "to sign a waiver" that he...

We were really impressed with the quality and portion size of the food. Delicious cocktails and friendly staff. Very good prices too. So much food at a reasonable price. Can't wait to return.

Had fantastic passion fruit martini cocktails from Dan the cocktail man. Would recommend ***** service awesome.

My family and I came to arkley to celebrate to my sister achieving a 1st at Uni and we could not have asked for nicer food and better service. As nice as the food was i must admit my favourite part was simply conversing with...

Had a few drinks and a really tasty burger here and I absolutely loved the pub. A great place for a few drinks and some grub. Highly recommend 👍👍 Thanks to Bartender Dan who served us and had a great bit of banter. Cheers 🍻

Amazing food and cocktails. Daniel who works at the bar made it a particularly enjoyable evening for us. Will definitely be back again!

Really nice little spot in Barnet. The Bar Man Dan was worth the trip alone. Excellent service and cocktails. 5 star all round.

I had a wonderful meal at the Arkley with my friends celebrating her birthday. Not only were we greeted and shown our table by smiley faces, but the meal was also delicious. I especially must mention the waitress Lexie, who tended to our every need...

Came in recently with a friend, we loved the music and atmosphere. The old fashioned I ordered was perfect and the Gentleman on the bar, Daniel, did a great job of customising the Margarita I ordered as I like mine relatively sweet.

I love the Arkley pub. The food and cocktails are spot on, and the staff are excellent. The Barman Dan is bloody super; he always has a smile and makes you feel so welcome; however busy it gets, he doesn't leave you standing for long!...

We popped in for a quick drink with our friends but decided to have food and what can we say it’s was really nice! the halloumi fries make you smile and the Prosecco and cocktails goes down a treat! Special shout out to Mr Dan...

Celebrating mums birthday, fantastic food and service. One of the best pubs we have visited where the food looked and tasted delicious. Will definitely come back .

We had a 70th birthday lunch for our dad here (50 guests). The venue and food were great. Olivia, Lexie and Ryan were welcoming, warm and flexible to meet our needs on the day. Olivia was a massive help as we tried to pin down...

I want to give a shout out to Inna, amazing staff. Very friendly. Always smiling. Honest gave me recommendations and actually was so warm towards us. Made us feel so welcomed. She was funny. But mostly fantastic customer service from her and the girls that...

If you are looking for a Sunday roast, where the food is varied and always excellent, go no further. Huge portions of roasts. Other varied items including curry and nourish bowls too for example. The staff are always a delight too and I really should...

Took a friend visiting from abroad there for lunch today. The ambiance of the place is so inviting. We got a good reception from the manager of the Arkley pub who guided us to our table. All three dishes we ordered were very fresh and...

Last Sunday I visited the Arkley pub and was greeted with a warm and welcoming smile from the lovely Evanthia. She seated my friends at I at a table and offered assistance in ordering our food as we had not been there before. She recommended...

Came for lunch last weekend. Didn’t disappoint… Portions are huge! Fantastic range of Gins. Only downside is that they don’t have a garden, but the terrace wasn’t too bad. Staff were very accommodating

Had a fantastic evening with friends at the Arkley great menu very reasonably priced. Great service from Evanthia who was extremely polite and very attentive

Sunday lunch with my family was excellent. All the staff were extremely helpful, friendly and attentive throughout and a special thank you to Evanthia, our lovely waitress. All the food was very creative and tasty, delicious Sunday roasts, good vegetarian options and very generous portions....

Can’t complain about the food which was what I would expect to pay but service wasn’t great. Had to keep asking for service. Not attentive at all in fact I would say non existent and a bit of a cheek to add a service charge....

The food was so delicious, they have a delicious vegan menu and the staff are absolutely friendly. Thank you to Olivia and Leanne who made us feel so welcome.

Food & service is excellent. Burgers are great + Caesar salad etc Nice to find a pub that has a carpet which means unlike most other pubs these days you do not need to raise your voice to talk over other people when the pub...

Went to the Arkley Pub on Saturday 4 June. At first was a little disappointed that the two duck dishes were not available, however we managed to choose other dishes - just! We were quite happy until the young waiter was incredibly rude and disparaging....

I recently visited the Arkley and was astonished by the service I received. Our waiter Stuart won us over with his charisma and friendliness. He suggested some incredible dishes which were to die for! He really exceeded our time at the Arkley and we will...

Visited for a nice Friday lunch with some friends, and was pleasantly surprised by the excellent service provided by Inna. The food was stunning and the staff were polite, helpful and attentive. Would highly recommed and will be visiting again soon!

First time at The Arkley and well impressed. Friendly staff . Great choice of food and not kept waiting at all. Definitely will return.

Amazing service from Amy at the bar, best cocktails in the area!! She provided excellent service and kept us entertained and put a smile on our faces. Really sad to hear that she's going, but I wish her all the best in the future.

Such a lovely evening at the Arkley tonight. Great service from Inna, she couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. Will be back soon!!

Lovely food, poor service. Following a hard day clearing our late Parents home, we booked a table at the Arkley. We waited ages for a server, after grabbing a passing waitress, she sent someone to take our drinks order. I have to have Gluten Free...

Very spacious and good facilities. But extremely overpriced £14 for a veggie burger and fries. £6-7 for a Coke and water. City prices for local hmmm

I had a great night and they served amazing cocktails. Their service was on point- lovely bunch working there. Food was banging, will definitely be back!

Best pub in Barnet by far! My third visit and just like always great food, friendly staff and top service from Adrian. Keep up doing what you are doing 👌

We had Sunday lunch today at The Arkley and was very impressed. We had some bespoke orders and Jessica took it all in her stride, providing excellent service throughout the meal. We will certainly be back!

Excellent service. Olivia is so efficient and very welcoming, the food is always good , you can rely on that so we will be back soon

Lovely, friendly happy staff. Beautiful decor and atmosphere and I didn’t realise dogs are allowed in the bar area which is a massive bonus for a dog mum like me that feels she can hardly go anywhere with her puppy. Fin and Jessica were so...

Excellent service from the lovely Fin. Welcoming & professional. 10/10 for his effort. And the food was delicious, great quality and fairly priced. Thank you 😊

Amazing staff special thanks to Jesse and Olivia for being so amazing to us and the kids. We had one of our best meals, thank you

Had a couple of cocktails Friday, they were fab and made by a very happy bartender (I think his name was Fin). Amazing service, lovely banter and amazing cocktails. Won’t hesitate to return soon for more.

My partner had his 30th birthday celebrations here and it was AMAZING! We all had such a fab time! We wanted some cocktails and were well looked after by our mixologist Fin. He was so hospitable and a lot of fun, and the drinks were...

Jessica (shout out) was amazing as are the rest of the team. Thank you for a great day out and lovely note to the bank holiday. Dirty burgers are also great by the way as well as the Squid for started and linguine dishes. Fairly...

Great meal and great service from Fin. We've been here a number of times and never had Fin serve us but his customer service made the evening and good to see someone who enjoys interacting with customers. Definitely coming back for another visit soon.

No words. Ellie Jessica and Finn are hands down the best servers I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting

Lovely food, nice atmosphere and very friendly staff, especially Ellie, Jessica and Finn! Reasonably priced, would definitely come again!!

Just enjoyed a fabulous meal with excellent, friendly service. New sticky chicken was superb. Can't wait to visit again.

We came in for a quick lunch and ended up staying for a full three courses. Jessica and Fin made the most incredible recommendations and entertained us all afternoon. From the wine selection to the cocktails and the brilliant food (by the fantastic Chefs Sebi...

Daughters booked here for mothers day, we went and were seated beside a waste pipe which absolutely stank! It was obviously noticeable by the owners as there was air freshners around it, and the waiter who took our order told it is was the waste...

Went to the Arkley and got served by FIn. He was so friendly, helpful with a great sense of humour! 5 star customer service! So so funny ask for Fin to serve you.

A couple of my mates and I came for a late dinner after our golf game. Jessica and the team blew us away. Service was exceptional and the food phenomenal although we weren’t allowed to get a pizza… but that can be forgiven due to...

Best pub in Barnet! Had a great catch up with old School chums. Staff were fantastic…. Got served the best Whisky Sour I’ve ever had! Will definitely return

Came in today with family and friends to celebrate my husbands birthday: everyone was thoroughly impressed with the service provided and the food was delicious. The place itself was beautifully decorated inside and we were made to feel very welcome and comfortable in our environment-...

Had another great lunch this afternoon. They’ve had a change of menu (which was a long time coming to be honest!) new menu didn’t disappoint. Normally we get lunch delivered but will definitely be coming out more often.

Thankyou to Jessica and the team for looking after us. We had a lovely meal to celebrate a birthday. Great food and service!

Fantastic food and cocktails…had my 50th birthday celebrations there and I’d highly recommend The Arkley friendly staff, good service and bartender that makes a mean Old Fashion cocktail

Had a wonderful birthday lunch today with the family. The staff went out of their way to make my aunts day special. As busy as they were they managed to do a ‘happy birthday’ plate with a candle and even gave her a complimentary glass...

We visited The Arkley for a friend's 60th birthday meal. We hadn't advised the restaurant of this, however they heard us talking about it and, totally unprompted, brought out a Happy Birthday dessert with candle, it was really appreciated and a lovely thought. The meals...

We had the most phenomenal lunch. We were so well taken care of and the food was exceptional. The Fish Cakes were so fresh and full of flavour and the atmosphere and decor were beautiful. Would 100% recommend this restaurant. We will definitely be back!!

The restaurant was busy as expected but there just simply wasn’t enough staff. We had booked a table and was ignored at the door as the staff walked past us numerous times avoiding eye contact. Once seated we waited a further 30 minutes for drinks....

Good food and good service make this restaurant a must, it’s part of a large chain but by far the best of them. Good service as always make it a must try.

We went several times there for dinner and have tried almost everything form the menu. The food is excellent, as is the service.

Would never recommend this restaurant , the burger was supposed to be medium, it came out so rare there was blood on my plate. The chips were ice cold. When I asked to speak to the owner the waitress said she was busy Extremely disappointing

Excellent food, well cooked and presented. Friendly efficient staff . But poor acoustics making the restaurant very noisy.

We came to celebrate our friends 50th Birthday. It was very easy to find, lots of parking, great location, very friendly and helpful staff, food was fantastic, cocktails amazing. Their was a great atmosphere from the time you walk in. I would definitely recommend coming...

Really nice food and friendly service. Highly recommended. Nothing was too much trouble and each dish was excellent in both presentation and taste .

Had a wonderful family dinner on Saturday. Staff really looked after us! My Nan Lives down the road from the pub and it’s her favourite place.

Had a wonderful Sunday Lunch. Roast trio was to die for! Staff were very friendly even though they were extremely busy. I’m would suggest booking ahead.

23 of us went for a three course lunch today and it was really lovely from start to finish very efficient and welcoming Thankyou!!!!

Literally just come back from lunch at The Arkley. The décor is nice and very comfortable, and our waitress was delightful. The selection of food is pretty varied. The food itself was OK. The Chicken Milanese was a bit over cooked and the chicken was...

Had a great catch with some old school friends today, we managed to book into their private area last minute. Had a very varied menu selection.

Had a wonderful ‘Post’ Valentines meal! Managed to get a table by the beautiful fireplace in the main restaurant. Staff were extremely accommodating due to my partner’s dietary needs. They really went out of their way to make our evening special.

I booked a table at the Arkley for a special Valentine's dinner. We arrived on time and found the restaurant quite busy. After sitting down and being given a menu, we ordered our drinks and choices for our meal from the special Valentine menu. I...

The food was amazing I had fish and chips with onion rings followed by apple and blueberry crumble with custard which was delightful. We had a waitress looking after us who was very friendly and helpful. However there was a young male manager on who...

Great food as always though a little on the pricey side. We ordered a bottle of new zealand sauvignon blanc without looking at the drinks menu (my mistake). I was a little shocked to find out from the bill that it was £31 a bottle!...
