I always love getting my Sunday roast fix at The Maynard - best roast porchetta in town. Also the beetroot hummous and flatbread starter is perfection on a plate! The team are always very welcoming, the service is super efficient and I love their vibe.

It was lunchtime and not good weather so very quiet but we didn't mind. We sat outside undercover and listened to the rain pattering on the canopy. There seemed to be only two staff but service was attentive and the food was delicious.

I wanted to give feedback on your staff last night. They were brilliant. We sat near the food counter for the football last night and they were efficient, unphased and attentive. Even when a table nearby seemed to have many complaints. So well done them. I think stick to a few dishes when the euros or large numbers are in. I’d like to see a few more vegetarian and vegan options. Good job!

Sunday lunch was excellent - veggie wellington pastry not the flakiest, but was delicious, and trimmings were imaginative - kale and red cabbage, alongside perfect roast potatoes. Cauliflower cheese generously portioned and highly cheesed. Took a week till i felt like i needed to eat anything again... Service v friendly and efficient.

Always enjoy a roast at the Maynard but this Sunday we booked for Father’s Day: Afrer waiting over 45 mins for our starter we were informed it would be a further 20 minutes wait. Really not cool so we left and had a delicious Italian over the road instead. It’s not like they didn’t know they were fully booked and would be busy. Really need to sort out the staffing situation to avoid those kind of waiting times.

I am vegan and found the Sunday option very unpalatable, the gravy had a strange tart taste whilst the Wellington tasted sweet. Others on the table were not blown away by the food. Our server was really nice, we made the mistake of asking a different server if she could take our money for the bill and she snapped at us saying she was doing something else (lovely lady with glasses).

Great terrace but veggie roast was a bit disappointing. Served rather cold and potatoes very hard and dry. Felt like they were ready for several hours. The heavy could do with some spices.

What a cracking Sunday lunch with my family and my puppy. The food was delicious and Meet our server was charming and efficient. We were seated in the covered garden space and had a lovely leisurely Sunday lunch. We didn’t feel rushed and the tables were nicely spaced. I am definitely coming back again.

Without doubt the best Sunday Roast I have eaten in London in a long time. The starters and mains were huge. The table in the garden was covered and kept the sun off our back. My puppy was sitting happily under the table. We had roast porchetta, chicken and beef. My son had Mac and cheese. Everything tasted good. I will be back again soon and may need to skip starter so I can try out the dessert. Overall a wonderful place for adults, children and four legged friends.

We've just returned from the Maynard Arms. Our first time there, although we are fairly local. The food was good, as pub food goes. But, more importantly, we were very well looked after by our server MEET. We would like to express our thanks for the exception services. His attentiveness, friendly demeanor, and professionalism made our evening memorable. He truly embodied the spirit of excellent service.

What bought me here was the best fantastic food and great service back on sunday, which I got yesterday as well from our server Meet. He’s really a very friendly person, he really gave us a very great service both the days.

First impressions count. Despite booking a table, we had to join a long queue to be seated. There were simply too many bookings taken for an average sized pub restaurant. Although the staff were pleasant, there weren’t enough of them which meant service was very slow. The roast we ate was nice but the wait wasn’t worth it. We won’t be rushing back.

Firstly, the service was slow, i felt sorry for the staff as either they had some people call in sick or were over booked, but also there were new members who were overwelmed. we got the wrong starter and didn’t receive one of the drinks ordered, and pointed it out, still not to get that drink The food was OK, not much beef with the roast and a lot of fat, cold yorkshire puddings and somehow burnt and undercooked potatoes. Either there is some cost saving going on here or bad preparation. Great Pub, but will not be coming back to eat here again as a local

This is the 3rd visit to The Maynard which I have previously given 5 stars each time. However, yesterday’s visit was just a little underwhelming as far as the food went. My chicken roast was generous and the veg delicious but the chicken itself and gravy were very under seasoned which spoilt my overall enjoyment. My friend ordered the beef and said the same. The meat was also quite tough and chewy so once again, this spoilt her overall enjoyment. That said, on a positive note, the service was excellent and our bottle of Pinot Noir, reasonably priced and delicious which made up for the slightly disappointing food. We will check out the regular menu next time we visit. Which we definitely will.

Great pub, been here regularly on various occasions, and food is very tasty. Today I was left somewhat stunned when ordering a cocktail: bartender finished pouring it, quickly licked his fingers, and then took a straw and stuck it in my drink. Everything was perfect except the finger-licking part. He could have licked them afterwards, but doing what he did defies common sense. Unlike Vermeer, this bartender with a pearl earring did not garner my admiration.

The Maynard is a very reliable pub for a Sunday roast. The pork belly is especially good. Their cheeseburger is also delicious. Very small complaint: cauliflower cheese is way too runny and cauli undercooked. Sort that out and it'd be 10/10. Nice staff and pleasant atmosphere. Nice pub garden for when the weather is warmer, too.

We were hungry and ordered the rump steak and the burger and boy did it hit the spot. Both meals were plentiful in size and packed with flavour. The steak was tender and soft to chew while the burger was probably the best I’ve had in a restaurant for a long time (the way it was built and the ingredients that were added) so credit to the kitchen staff for this.

Delicious food. Service was good and pleasant but they were struggling to be as responsive as we would have liked purely due to the number of covers. Main negative issue was noise. Music was far too loud. Also, the management need to address the issue of behaviour from families attending with young children (adults’ behaviour, not children’s). We don’t think that “children should be seen and not heard”, far from it, it’s important children join in family meals. But allowing children to play video games and YouTube etc out loud (bring headphones!) at high volume on tablets and phones ruins the atmosphere for those of us who want to talk to each other and catch up. Also children were running around and screaming, this isn’t their fault, children can’t sit still for long periods of time, so encouraging parents to keep meals short so that they can take their children out for a runaround is essential.

Booked a table for two at 2 pm for a Sunday roast, and the place seemed very nice, but sadly when I went to order the food I was told the kitchen was overloaded and were too busy to serve any more food. I get that these things happen, especially at busy periods, but it was still pretty disappointing, and surprising, particularly since we'd booked beforehand and made the journey specifically there. Left and went elsewhere in Crouch End.

Really strong roast dinner and sides. Service was good up until the bill which took a long time to come and then even longer to pay. Just such a disappointing way to end a meal and such an easy thing to get right hence the three stars for service. Everything else was pretty good. Solid recommend for the area.

2 of us turned up initially to be joined by 4 others later for lunch, we were informed by a small sign on the bar & the staff that they only accepted cards which is ridicules, we then cancelled what would have cost in the region of £550 + worth of business & went to the Victoria Stakes.They must be making so much money it doesn't matter. This is a nice boozer with excellent staff but you have to realise most people don't want to give 2% to -ankers every time we buy something.

Went for a veggie Sunday roast and it was spot on. Really good pie with gravy. Great ratio of veggies to pie on the plate (that means not a stingy amount of veggies) with excellent red wine cabbage. Combined with a solid choice of local things on tap, couldn't recommend more. Also had a wonderful playlist on the aux.

I used to love coming here but every other time I buy a pastry from them, the cream inside is gone off and cheesy. It’s gross. I’m pregnant and really don’t need the extra hassle of biting into something that is completely gone off. Others should be aware that they need to check things are fresh first before leaving the shop. A little tip: How about some stickers to show when produce has been made, and then rotating produce so you don’t sell it past it’s sell by date? You need to sort this out as it’s illegal to sell gone off food to the public! Check the food safety act.
