The Gryphon In Enfield in Enfield

Friendly efficient service - great food and good value

Lovely visit with my father, we go there regularly for dinner. Service is usually good although it's really busy on quiz night and hard to have a conversation sometimes. I now order on the app to save waiting at the bar but it's frustrating as my visit is not automatically stamped on the app for my rewards which seems pointless, I won't get any benefit and will discourage me now to go as other restaurants/pubs etc it's easier. Edit: Disappointingly, as soon as I posted the review above on Google an answer popped up immediately from The Gryphon/Ember Inns thanking me for my review - this just confirmed to me that it was AI automatically responding and just looking at the number of stars rather than what I actually typed in. This just makes me more synical about reviews and how establishments use them as I'm sure many actual reviews are also AI generated!

Great atmosphere and great service from Hannah behind the bar

Hannah served us was great polite and nice and chilled pub atsmosphere and great prices

Enjoyed a great lunch here today!! Lots to choose from a very good menu. Cosy atmosphere and really nice ambiance. Big shout out to Anna who looked after us so well. Anna delivered our drinks promptly and even suggested something on the menu which helped hugely! And all with a genuine smile and friendly conversation. Will definitely be back here very soon!!

Haven’t been for a while but popped into the gryphon today for lunch with friends. Food was delicious and the service from Anna was fantastic. Will definitely return more often.

Booked a space for my birthday celebration. Everything was super well organised. Upon turning up the tables were well designated and had enough seats for all attendees. We were looked after by Hannah, who ensured everyone was seated and that each person got their first drink, swiftly. (Very important for a large party). Our orders were also taken promptly, and lucky me, there was also some excellent music on that evening. (There is always live music on the last Friday of each month at The Gryphon). The pub was rocking, people were having fun and all the time Hannah was ensuring that we were having a great evening. Thank you very much Hannah. Your attentive service and attention to detail made the occasion memorable and run very smoothly. Everyone commented on how considerate, kind and courteous you had been. 5 STARS to Hannah.

Hannah was a wonderful waitress, really attentive and funny. She was great with my little one too. Would highly recommend and return.

hannah was the best ever honestly reconvened coming here just for her service she’s just genuinely so lovely

Hannah is so good at her job, her attention to detail and sense of humour is next level

A warm and friendly pub… special thanks to Hannah who works there - she always greets us warmly and goes above and beyond when serving food and drinks.

Food was good Staff were polite and friendly

Lovely local pub with a good menu. Very friendly staff.

Good environment, good crowd and good laugh.

The quality of the food I had here was very poor... The toasted sandwich was burned and the coffee was lukewarm. After I complained, the staff made another coffee, but still charged me for the first... The pub is nicely maintained and comfortable.

Friendly local catering to a retiree crowd. Vast majority of the staff are great. The pub grub food can be hit or miss, but in my experience, it has far more hits than misses.

Negative experience. Won't be going back.

Staff are so friendly, so professional, polite, when booking i asked for a warm place, my needs were met, food was amazing as always, my only thing was some of the menu wasnt available, but other than that, we were happy

Very good roast rib of beef, excellent service and not rushed

Relax and cosy atmosphere friendly staff and lovely food

Excellent service and warm welcome. They are a great team!!

Usually got to Ridgeway which is also an Ember Inn. However this week we tried the Gryphon as we had a 50% off main meals voucher. I had the large mixed grill which was cooked to perfection. Service at the bar was quick and friendly. Great atmosphere in the pub.

A really friendly and hardworking staff who always put the customer first. Had lovely food and great atmosphere. Sally

The pub was within a 10-minute walk of the family location that I was staying in at Enfield. It is also a 3 minute walk from Grange Park National Rail train station. There is plenty of free parking for vehicles in front of the pub. There is also a wheelchair accessible ramp at the entrance. The pub is brightly lit, clean and very popular with the locals. The staff are efficient and friendly. There is a game machine nearest the door. There is a Kids Menu, as well as the regular one. The main menu includes the usual Sunday Beef and Chicken Roasts. There are also a variety of desserts available. Finally, there are plenty of liquor and soda options.

Great little pub, so glad to have it as our local. Food and drinks always good and staff are very friendly 😊

Great community pub. Beers are always good and the staff are all really friendly and nice. Nice garden for the summer too.

A really lovely place, good staff, food good, good atmosphere, really enjoyed my visit here

Staff are amazing. Food is terrible but the atmosphere is great and as I say the staff are really nice.

Very noisy due to large number of middle-aged men shouting over each other. Fortunately was able to move to a table further from the bar.

We have been coming here for a while now. The food we find is above pub standard. Staff are always friendly when they see us. Prices are very good with lots of offers. Several casks beers and good wine selection.

For the second year running we went to the Gryphon today to have a family Christmas celebration brunch. The service was exceptional and the food was really lovely. Would definitely recommend. Very good value for money.

Bright clean pub with friendly service

Went for the breakfast with Santa, fun for the kids, decent food, lovely staff (especially as they had to serve lots of people food and drinks and do a bunch of Christmas extras)

We had a fantastic night. Food was great. The entertainment was brilliant. And sam our cocktail maker was amazing that girl deserves a raise. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend this this place.

Great pub with lovely food, beer and service

We had the pleasure of spending the day at the Gryphon today as my daughter had a stall at their Xmas charity event. Well what a day. Real reindeers, lovely set up and mix of stalls. The pub was fully booked, but they managed to fit us in with a last minute table. The food was lovely, being a Sunday we went for a traditional Sunday roast, I had rib of beef, it was wonderful, fell off the bone, good potatoes and a decent amount of veg. My husband had the mushroom, spinach wellington and very much enjoyed his too. The pub was as I said very busy, it was partly due to the charity event, but also due to returning customers, but although it was busy there was a great sense of community, lots of laughing, chat and general joyfulness. The staff were polite and smiling through the constant stream of customers. It was like being in a film, where the pub is full of happy customers enjoying their time together and making memories. I then look out the window from my seat, through the slightly steamed up window to see the reindeer. Like a film ❤️. Honestly, fantastic staff, fabulous food, great location with free parking 😜.

Our waitress Hannah was really nice, her hospitality was second to none. Hannah was really patient with our children and made them feel special. The slow cooked rib of beef was sublime too.

Magnificent English brunch, and very well priced for London

Hannah was amazing, we loved the feel of this tradition pub. Food was great for all the family

Fantastic service. The food served quick and hot.Defo back!

Always love coming here. Wonderful team and brilliant food. Will be back!

Friendly, helpful staff. Good food and atmosphere. Just a small issue with the app but ordered food at bar and all was fab.

No longer a Harvrster, average food now

The Gryphon is a gem of a pub that delivers on food, price, and atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal or just a cosy spot to unwind with friends, it’s well worth a visit. I’ll definitely be returning to sample more of the menu!

We think the staff are really good all of them are well trained and we like the Gryphon

The Barmaid Rebecca was very friendly on my arrival. The waitress Hannah was very friendly and efficient. She checked up on how we were doing and gave advice on the menu.

We only went for Sunday lunch. Initially disappointed as one of the two advertised roasts was unavailable. Fortunately they had an alternative in the form of turkey which was OK. The beef ribs were a disappointment - two large bones with a very small amount of meat attached. Roast spuds were OK (probably frozen) and the veg was nice, as was the small boat of gravy. We ordered a side of stuffing wrapped in bacon. Sorry to say it was terrible! The bacon was barely cooked - white, wet and flabby, it needed another ten minutes in a hot oven or under the grill. The stuffing was hideously salty and had an unpleasant smooth pasty texture. On the plus side, the pub was relatively quiet, with a lovely warm open fire. The staff were great - polite, friendly and happy to help. Would we go back? Yes, just not necessarily for a roast lunch.

Had a lovely meal here this week. It was a good size meal of sausage and mash with gravy. It was a Monday and after 2pm. The pub was not overly busy and there was plenty of seating to sit and eat, the staff were helpful and pleasant. A large pub with a garden.

We had a family farewell meal here on Monday evening for 15 people. Hannah served us and she was polite friendly and very helpful. She was wonderful, really made our experience special.

Lovely family meal with great service from the team. Hannah took care of us and went out of her way to make sure my family had a lovely meal! Thank you!

Descubrí que este lugar sirve para fiestas de cumpleaños. Celebramos la fiesta de cumpleaños de nuestra hija 2 aquí y fue la mejor decisión que tomamos! A todo el mundo le encantó! Ubicación - Es muy fácil llegar a este lugar. Había tanto aparcamiento disponible dentro del aparcamiento del restaurante y también fuera en la calle. Nadie tuvo ningún problema con el aparcamiento. Lugar - Teníamos mucho espacio dentro del lugar para nuestros huéspedes. Teníamos aproximadamente 22 invitados. Prácticamente teníamos la mitad del restaurante. Fue brillante. Teníamos las puertas del jardín abiertas también. Teníamos un montón de mesas y sillas. Teníamos un montón de sillas altas disponibles también para los niños. Comida. El chef, Bernie, preparó una brillante selección de comida para nuestros huéspedes. Todos lo disfrutaron. La comida era genial! Las alitas de pollo desaparecieron en cuestión de minutos, eran tan populares y los mini pasteles eran tan sabrosos. Había una gran selección de comida disponible para todos. Había dedos de pescado, pasteles, alitas de pollo, bocados de pollo, nachos y mucho más. Bernie merece un diez de diez por eso, literalmente a todos les encantó la comida! Teníamos una cuenta para las bebidas y quien pidiera una bebida la tenía en cuestión de segundos. Sin esperas y sin retrasos, eran de precios muy razonables también. Servicio - El personal era fantástico. Siempre venían a nuestra zona y preguntaban si necesitábamos algo. Fueron muy atentos y muy amables! La calificación general fue de diez sobre diez para todo. ¡Gracias a todos los que hicieron que el segundo cumpleaños de nuestra hija fuera genial para recordar!

Great experience stuff are so friendly was a great night thanks for a lovely evening will definitely go back many thanks guys si

Thanks for a lovely evening to celebrate my mums birthday. E was a most attentive and helpful member of staff. I heartily recommend a visit here.

Lovely to have a decent place locally but roast dinner could be made better with homemade roast potatoes and fresh vegetables. Frozen veg spoilt the otherwise great meat. Only posting as hoping it might change policy on frozen veg.

Waitress was lovely,however three times I said can I have a salad without bacon,over comes a salad covered in bacon. No dressing Asked for basamic vinegar.dont have it. Awful food for both of us. Wouldn’t ever eat here again as tried it three times now and all terrible. Lovely pub for a beer tho.

Good pub for a quiet pint - reasonable selection - very close to Grange Park train station - not eaten here so can’t comment - very friendly regular staff.

Lovely pub and restaurant, relaxed atmosphere. Large party of us went recently and we were looked after by Guy, really friendly and helpful. The whole team always make you feel welcome.

Very tasty chicken wings and good portion sizes. Can order online via qr code or at the bar

Staff are lovely and always friendly. Food is brilliant. Couldn’t ask for a better local pub

The staff were lovely. Sharon was delivering food to everyone and didn't stop for a second. Ellie and Jeremy at the bar were so sweet and friendly.

Sharon was absolutely amazing. I came with my gather who is disabled in a wheelchair and my 2 year old and she was such a star. Everytime I needed something she was so helpful and never tutted or made me feel unwanted. She was absolutely brilliant we need more friendly staff like her in restaurants. I will definitely be coming more often thank you so much Sharon.

First time I've been to the pub in a long time and thoroughly enjoyed the the visit. Staff were very helpful and service was quick. Only drinks this time, but took a look at the menu whilst there and will certainly go back for food at some point.

Vengo aquí regularmente el personal es tan amable y acogedor aquí! Me encanta este pub, una gran selección de vinos, refrescos y comida.

Debo decir que la comida aquí es absolutamente brillante. Hoy he probado la parrilla mixta y he mejorado para un filete más grande. Pedí un filete cocido raro y salió exactamente como lo quería. De hecho, me impresionó mucho el tamaño de la parrilla mixta, tanta comida y todo estaba fresco. Fue tan sabroso. Mi esposa tenía la costilla de res y eso se veía increíble. Dijo que se cayó del hueso. Probé algunos también y definitivamente fue un plato encantador. El goteo de carne era tan sabroso. Nuestra hija tenía la comida de los niños y ella realmente disfrutó de eso también. Fue agradable y tranquilo hoy, un montón de asientos disponibles y un ambiente muy tranquilo. Parece que este será nuestro lugar para esos encantadores almuerzos de la tarde. Nuestra camarera era Anna y ella sabía todo sobre el menú que había que saber. La comida que Anna recomendó fue lo que elegimos y fue una recomendación brillante. 10 de 10 por la comida y 10 de 10 por el servicio de Anna. Muy recomendable.

Currently sat here trying to eat a terrible sticky toffee pudding which is dry and tastes stale. Nothing sticky about it. Vanilla icecream served in a very hot glass so it was slop. Veggie lasagna was ok but very small portion. More like a starter. Burger was also a small portion and the presentation awful. Children’s meal, a few beans, 3 little nuggets and a side salad consisting of 1 slice of onion, a small slice of tomato and 4 small bits of lettuce. This is such a shame as we come here often (since the last 20 years) and it’s really put us off returning. We were here 2 months ago and it was lovely. We all left still hungry and not at all impressed. I’m going home to have a sandwich.

Love this place. Was there again last night. Hannah served us and couldn't have been more attentive. It was easy to book. Table ready for us. Everyone enjoyed their food.

Siempre excelente comida, servicio, ambiente y relación calidad-precio en The Gryphon. Domingo Almuerzo ayer delicioso. Muchas gracias a todo el personal y especialmente a Hannah, que hizo todo lo posible para asegurarse de que nuestra comida fuera un placer, encontrándonos una mesa tranquila y servirnos con una gran sonrisa y su eficiencia habitual.

The food is good I highly recommend for lunch Not Christmas dinner

Disappointing as so many things on the menu were not available and this wasn't the first time this has been the case.

Un maravilloso pub que sirve deliciosa comida en un entorno encantador, recomiendo encarecidamente visitar para disfrutar del jardín y áreas interiores

a wonderful pub which serves delicious food in a lovely setting, I highly recommend.

A nice traditional pub. Good selection of beers and very helpful staff.

Good pub to pop in for a pint or for family meals. Beer and wine selection is good and food great for informal family meals. Staff always friendly .

Amazing friendly staff and food was brilliant

Me and my mum had a lovely lunch here today :). Very tasty, well cooked and excellent service. I loved the seating area in the garden as it enabled me the accessibility I needed as I have autism and anxiety. Thank you very much for a lovely experience and for the peaceful and calm setting :)

I’ve been coming here regularly for far more years than I can begin to remember. Everyone is so friendly and service always exemplary. Delightful, varied menu and sensibly priced. Perfect atmosphere and plenty of parking. Very lucky to have The Gryphon nearby!

The staff were wonderful in this place, everyone is lovely and friendly. Live music was nice and not too overwhelming. Food was tasty too.

We had a very good server, Hannah who was very nice and nothing was too much trouble

Great food. Sunday roast beef rib was lovely and the Eaton mess sundae was delicious too. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Feels like home

Hannah served our table today and her attention to detail and customer service was first class. We had an excellent time, thank you!

Nice family-friendly place to eat or just enjoy a drink with friends,

Hannah was amazing! Great service

Thanks to the kitchen team tonight, Harry, Emma and Paul, loved my Halloumi skewer!

Great meal and service at the Gryphon today. Thank you to Hannah, best wishes x

First time went to try the brunch menu.. Lovely hostess who greeted us made us feel really welcoming huge credit to her .. Food was fab had the full English was lovely definitely going back again !

We had a very enjoyable lunch at the Gryphon today. The food was delicious and plentiful and the service excellent. The tables are nicely spaced and there is no loud music which is very welcome. Parking was easy in the spacious car park.

Modern feel pub. Lovely indoors and outdoor area too.

Lovely food and pleasant staff. They always find us a table when we turn up.

My last two visits to the Gryphon in April/May '24 have been surprisingly good experiences. The food and service has improved dramatically from what it was only months before. I believe the menu has been changed to good effect and the staff are just brilliant. I would recommend the Gryphon for both drinks and food.

Service excellent, staff lovely but 3 of the main courses we wanted were sold out and another only had one remaining

Ten of us enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch. Ann, Sharon & team were very helpful and attentive. Food was excellent and good value. We will be back. Thank you

Anna and Sharon served our group of 9 very well. Really pleasant, efficient and helpful. Wonderful to be in a pub not playing music so we could chat comfortably.

Popped in for a quick coffee a year or two after my last visit. Staff were quite matter of fact. Latte was very strong. Had the decor, feel and atmosphere of an upmarket chain pub not a local. Having said that there were a few groups of people in the the area that seemed local and knew each other so it has regulars. I haven't eaten there for a while so I gave the food rating the benefit of the doubt based on previous (Harvester) experience.

*EDIT* So the Gryphon has changed a lot over the years. Latest iteration is by far the best yet. Well managed (David) and brilliant staff (Clara, Sharon etc al). New menu actually ok! Its a harvester so you know what to expect. Local, staff are actually pretty good. *update* Now an Ember inns. Let's see how it goes. I notice the response to my last review took 7 years by the way.....
