The Queens in Haringey

I always find the staff friendly, the ale and bitter well kept and I like the bar snacks. Fried chicken and also had their chicken wings, very good.

Got the veggie roast, Wellington was nice but was a bit plain. Unlimited gravy (and roast potatoes) were a welcome touch but the roast potatoes looked and tasted deep fried. Got busier when we left about 4-430, was quiet and easier to get a table when we arrived at 3pm. Friend who got the beef was much happier.

Nice atmos, great for drink outside in garden.

Had dinner here on a Monday evening. The food was very good, freshly good and good quality.

Good beer and great service! We had come from another local pub where the service had been poor so it was nice to be greeted by friendly staff.

Banging fish and chips - great service - classic London boozer

The vegan pie was totally amazing. I had a great birthday experience. Thank you to the queens. Very lovely staff very friendly. I hope the staff enjoyed the cakes I gave them.

Had an amazing experience today and our bartender Lana was so helpful and sweet. Such an asset. Nobody had to wait long as immediately when you arrived at the bar she was there to serve us. Amazing vibes and staff

Went for a Sunday Roast as a bit of a treat today and WOW, the food was unbelievable. So good. Absolutely loved it. The roasts were out of this world and the cauliflower cheese was on a whole other level. The perfect meal from start to finish. The staff were also really friendly and the service second to none. Thank you!

Fish and chips X3 plus 6 pints. 2 Peroni and 4 Asahi. can't fault any of it. Service was great and food was spot on. The batter was unbelievably good

Really nice place to get a drink in the evening. Speedy and friendly service.

Had a beef burger on the weekend. Beef patty was of a very poor quality, and they didn’t cook off the beer battered onions - the whole burger was sour. Service was lovely though.

Not the best food, starters were ok although stupidly overpriced for the size, don’t recommend the steak burger, smelled strange, wouldn’t eat here again but been for drinks plenty of times

Very unfriendly to our baby and dog, made to feel a nuisance, it’s a shame as we thought they were a friendly local. We are very disappointed.

Great service, lively atmosphere.

One of the best roast dinners that we have experienced in London. We made the visit to Crouch End purely to visit The Queens on the recommendation of a number of locals. A very cosy restaurant with a large seating area, we were seated at a table for 2 in the far right corner by the food counter - arguably the nicest table in the place. Could not fault the service, the food was perfectly cooked, plentiful and of a very high quality. The only minor comment that we both made was that we would have liked a few more roasties (but then who doesn’t). A definite must visit!

12.5% service charge automatically added to the bill - staff are little off hand as they don’t need to try in order to receive a tip. Tips should be discretionary and staff should ‘earn’ them. Food ok but nothing special - pasta slightly under cooked and the steak burger was made with onions which overshadowed the flavour of everything else. We could hear the kitchen staff from our table who were swearing at one another. The best part was the building itself - lovely. We’ll be giving this one a miss.

Thank you for a very enjoyable New Year's Eve. Great music, friendly and efficient staff and a lively atmosphere with everyone up and dancing. Congratulations to all involved!

Excellent food and service. Traditional pub atmosphere.

Place was packed, so atmosphere was good and friendly, staff were ok. Some seemed friendly compared to others, definitely worth a visit and would go again.

4 of us Had a great 3 course Christmas lunch at the Queens today. Food was lovely and very generous portions. Had to asks for box to take some home. Staff were attentive and polite. Very reasonable prices for the amount of food we had. Highly recommend.

Visited here for a little Christmas meal with friends and was invited to a lovely pub with beautiful architecture The waiter working was really kind and attentive and made sure we were happy at all time I had the Cumberland sausage - coming from Cumbria, it wasn’t the best but it was good, portions were quite small however The main downside was the price with salads being listed at the same high price as a burger (£17.50) Otherwise it was a lovely meal 😊

I was upset because my Milanese Chicken I had yesterday evening, was horrible. It was over cooked and very dry and difficult to eat. It tasted of burnt oil, I didn’t complain as I didn’t want to upset my host, but I won’t come again. It’s a shame as your food used to be so good, and I love the ambiance and service was great.

Disappointing, not sure what has happened to the place or if it's under new management. Choice of beers not great, limited menu. I had a steak burger, it looked great on paper, not on the plate. Wetherspoon's special would be many levels above. Wasn't even asked if we were happy with the food, you know, the usual mid eating question. At a £120 for 3 people, Wetherspoon's definitely would have been the better option.

Held a book promotion event here, the staff were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere and decor of the pub was lovely. I have been there for drinks previously and sat out in the garden, great place

Decent Pints of Guinness. Good Friday afternoon atmosphere. Pleasant service. Would Return.

We have been going to this gorgeous pub for years now. The Sunday roast is so delicious and the portion is generous too compared to the other places that we have been. We also order fish fingers for our little one that turned out to be a piece of a fish cured into few pieces ( not a shop bought fish fingers) which was delicious. It’s usually fully booked on Sundays in the dining area so better to book a table in advance. They also have a heated garden area and the bar side where they serve food as well as drinks. They don’t do chicken roast any more which is shame and I hope we see that coming back to the menu in future . 😊

Impressed with Sunday roast, good food quality for all the dishes we had. Service fairly good for a pub and ambient atmosphere proper pub style. Nice options for food and drinks and wine !! Indeed five full star experience. Would go again.

Wonderful meal as normal, gluten free fish and chips are awesome!

I can only offer a five star as a default. The welcome from the young Korean lady at the bar, amazing and maybe we shall argue over Welsh or Korean for some time to come. The place is a super late Victorian pub but with the most fantastic Art Deco windows, simply amazing. The ceiling is also stunning. A great privilege to be able to have a beer with these people.

Stunning old-world style (large) pub with fabulous staff and a fantastic atmosphere. Beer garden, food and amazing selection of beers. Love this place - just love it!!

We love this pub, relaxed vibes and dogs welcome, what more could you want! Also there's a covered outdoor area which is really nice 🙂

Good real ale. Nice Oktoberfest bier. Pricey but decent decor and surroundings. Buzzy atmosphere.

Beautiful pub, with a lot of architectural caricture, various rooms & places for a good chat.

Lovely, place BUT do not ask for bleu or rare for your "onglet", they will NOT do it. great shame. PS: this is the correct cooking for such cut.. ;-)

Great pub for dinner and drinks. Service is also great.

Planned a roast before the hottest weekend in October. Hand some lighter food, salads, fries, chicken snitzel. Excellent.

I am having my 50th birthday party 🎉 there...!!

Went out with my family when we were splitting the bill one of our party got called a fat ba***** by the man on the bar because we were taken too long in his opinion splitting the bill. My girlfriend got confronted with one of the bar women outside of the pub when she said nothing to her and just seemed like she wanted a bit of the drama. At the end of the day the bar staff was very rude and I wouldn’t be spending my money there again.

Came back four times for pea and mint soup!

Bello, cordiali, spazio interno ed esterno...

Me and my husband came into the Queens to grab a bite of dinner. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and the food was AMAZING! My husband had the Fillet steak sandwich and I had the crab and king prawn linguine, both exceeded our expectations. Also, a great selection of drinks for drinkers and non-drinkers alike. The real star of the show was definitely the staff though. Well done Queens crew, 5*

Have always been in the area but have never paid a visit, went last night the place was packed, a good selection of lagers and a nice court yard garden the pub also has a massive bar and original decor throughout which you don't get much these days. Well worth dropping by.

The Queens' Sunday menu had been recommended to me. I checked the menu: it said the sirloin of beef is served pink. It wasn't; it was brown. More to the point, it was too tough to eat (and I've got all my teeth!) and fairly tasteless. The carrots were OK. The green veg was somewhat overcooked. Since I was lunching with someone I don't know that well, I let it be. She ate maybe half of her porchetta. However, I was surprised that my uneaten meal was removed without a query about why it was practically untouched. The coffee was good.

I must say, after all my years of going around London I finally found the one. As soon as I walked in I felt at home The friendly faces, the warm lighting, the vibrant windows and the beautiful staff. I ordered my drinks and was served by two lovely boys named Luis and Ferris. Very friendly, pretty and welcoming. I was new to the area and they gave some great recommendations. Ferris made this joke and I still tell my friends to this day. It was outrageous and not one for Google reviews. The food was amazing as well, Harvey and Jake the chefs and I must say they know how to throw it down. *chefs kiss* This weirdo Seth was there, apparently hes there quite often and he loves it and no wonder why. I’m now with him everyday. Ps. The ginger ones quite fit

Wonderful old-fashioned pub, interesting drinks menu

I love The Queens. I feel so lucky to have such a gorgeous local. We used to eat here all the time, too. Not anymore, though, alas. The prices have wildly outgrown their britches. It's silly- I can eat at that lovely new French place on Middle Lane or really pretty much any of the fun Highgate options for better food and more reasonable prices.

Very large place, lovely building, lots of games to play, no cash option to pay. Didn't try the food but offers look good.

Great chicken schnitzel. Warm and cosy atmosphere especially in the winter!

Great staff, great atmosphere. Shout out lui ❤

After many years of coming as a local especially when I went the last few times the food was just not up to scratch. I had a few month break and as the weather was nice I decided to give it another go. I was very surprised to see Queens went all cashless, the garden was painted all grey making it feel like some kind of facility and just it lost charm. :(

Food drinks and service went right downhill you will pay an absolute fortune and on top get descriminated upon. We spent a lot of money there until their food services and common sense went down the drain Sad show even worse service Maynard or la Fabrica provides a much better value for money with delicious food…. Also a cashless venue must I say more

Great service all round!! Friendly and welcoming staff and great food. It has a fantastic intact Victorian interior, and a generous sized outside space to the rear for alfresco dining. Will definitely go back!!

Excellent pub. There Sunday roasts are to die for. Had the mix roast and is one of the top roasts I’ve had in London. Desert of chocolate brownie is heaven. Lovely wait staff. The pub has a classic London pub feel. Will be back.

Great pub in Crouch End with a nice garden in the back, excellent food and a wide range of beers. Some of the best pub food in London - particularly liked the steak sandwich and chicken Milanese

We, as a family of 4, had a brilliant experience. The food was truly delicious and the staff were incredibly warm and professional.

Only had a drink, so cannot comment on food (tho' had a brilliant looking menu pinned up, may come back to try!). Beer was fine but main thing is the incredible Victorian architecture and internal decor. Friendly staff and relaxed lunchtime atmosphere.

What don't more pubs just serve simpleton pints like Fosters. Yes it's unsophisticated but people like it.

I've been going to the Queens for over 20 years - but only infrequently, when I visit a nearby friend. The pub has changed over the years, of course, but has managed to keep something of a 'village pub' vibe. Architecturally, it still has true Victoriana. Refurbs over the years have not been allowed to kill that. Long gone is the live band in the large room, but also the slightly pretentious 'gastro pub' that it was swaying towards at one point, maybe a decade ago It's now back to being a 'friendly local' - even for those of us who are not truly 'local'. In summer, or for the smokers in winter, there's a good rear yard with plenty of seating, covered & heated when necessary. I hear the food's still good, but I haven't actually eaten there in a while.

Went for a family birthday and was really impressed by the attentive service and good food for a Sunday lunch. Nice stained glass, too!

We had a 27-people party at this wonderful gastropub. Their long bar gave us a good sense of enclosure. There was a good range of delicious food to choose from. The portion of a fish and chip was incredible. The service was top-notch - friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this pub for party/gathering or simply for a meal. Wonderful!

Great cocktails! Really nice outdoor garden space to sit for the summer. Service was friendly and good. Pity I didn’t try the food, although it smelt great when the surrounding tables food came. Menu looked like it had a good selection that wasn’t just the usual pub grub. Prices are slightly higher than your usual local pub

Wow. This is one of the most gorgeous pubs I have ever seen. Spacious, with old wood panelling and fabulous stained glass windows.

So friendly , until I told them I only had cash.( I am olds school). their whole attitude changed , and the ‘ manager’, even turned her face away from me mid conversation. It put a damper on the evening. Plus the beef was really fatty, and cold too. Wouldn’t bother

It's a bit worrying when you walk into a pub for lunch and the staff kind of ignore you. The manager could see we were waiting and came over and took us to a couple of reserved tables. He seemed to want us to sit next to another couple, with about a foot between the tables. We didn't and sat at the table next to that. It wasn't busy for a sunday and it was odd that he did that but whatever. Logistics? Anyway nice young woman came and took our drinks orders and was very pleasant if a bit flustered. Ordered starters and the porchetta. It's a lovely Victorian pub and we had a nice natter before the padron peppers and bao crispy beef turned up. Both were really nice, and well cooked. Then things went a bit pear shaped. Firstly my roast arrived but not my partner's as the waitress admitted she had forgotten to order it, just having asked for one main. She offered a comp dessert and was super apologetic. Mistakes happen so we were all fine with that but not so much with the porchetta. Expecting pork wrapped around a herb stuffing instead I had cremated meat next to a weird disc of paxo. The meat was so overcooked three hours later I could still taste the it and not in a good way. How the kitchen had thought it ok to send this out was beyond me. Yorkshire was also charred and the potatoes were pretty crap. I asked for more gravy and got a jug of what tasted like stock, it was so salty to be inedible. When my partner's food arrived she was already off put by the state of my plate and was massively unimpressed. Her yorkie arrived, burnt a few minutes later. We ate here a few months back and it was superb despite it being super busy, yesterday it was half empty and so not sure what was happening, there were two chefs in the kitchen and only maybe 10 tables. We complained to the manager without making a rumpus and pretty much said the above. He comped the mains without any argument which was good of him but he could see how bad it was just looking at the plates. Shame because this is a decent pub.

I am 63 years of age, and use only cash. The staff were really friendly when entering, When the bill came and I said about the cash, the waitress, and then the manager, totally changed their attitudes. From friendly to actually very rude. In fact the manager actually turned her head away when I was mid conversation! Rude

Always a good visit, food, beers, nice people

Good honest pub staff were good and on the ball the beer was in good condition as well. A nice good friendly pub

Appropriate for Coeliac as they have a good selection of Gluten Free food and a couple of beers on the menu.

We were 3 friends who had one main course. Each one was different. The steak burger was one of the tastiest burgers I have eaten for some time. The chips skin-on were good. My wife had haddock fishcake which she loved. However, it could have done with a side of green vegetables. The chicken milanese was also enjoyed. The Adnams broadside bitter was very good.One of us had Estrella lager. So we drank 1 and half pints each. Plus a very large glass of red wine. The bill with service was £86. The service was good, attentive and friendly. The pub itself dates for early 1900s and is rather attractive - great stained glass..

Amazing service and amazing food.

Lovely staff, good drinks, pretty building, chilly and lacking atmosphere.

I still can't get over a place like this still closes a bit to early it's such a nice cosy place.

I really like the restaurant here

I go quite frequently and the food has always been good. Great service too.

One of London's best pubs; classic building, great outdoor space, attentive staff, decent food.

Fantastic gluten free fish and chips at The Queens tonight with a Friday night deal of a free glass of prosecco. I love this place.

I love this place. Great atmosphere, great service, and just a lovely all-around pub.

Excellent 'pub'.. Old school with character.. Pricey

Nice Pub right on the edge of Primrose Hill park. Welcoming bar, with a nice ambience. Dogs friendly with lots of dog bowls and free dog treats. We didn’t eat but enjoyed a nice pint of Camden Hells.

Good pub, good place. I will return to try the food. It looks promising!!!!

One of the best fish and chips I’ve had at a pub! The fish was perfectly cooked although the batter maybe was just a tad over crunchy. The portion was big and it was served within a really decent time (approx 20 mins). I’d definitely recommend and will be back.

Visited last night with a friend. , I ordered the vegan burger which I was told was made from mushroom and beetroot, neither which I could taste . My friend ordered the stake which he said as stake goes was nice . The massive disappointment was the chips that both meals came with . They were frozen standard chips that one could get in a local cafe ,put on the plate . Sorry but at the price we paid and the standard and reputation of the Queens I would have expected hand cut chips as you get most of the pubs in crouch end and other good pubs that do food . The only pub I would expect chips of this kind would be Wetherspoons , and if I am honest the chips in the Mosey in Muswell Hill Wetherspoons are better , sorry The Queens but on this bases I would not recommend you to anyone .

Best pub food in the area. We tried a venison pie and the lamb shoulder. Both delicious!

Great food and very helpful staff

Cute local pub with spacious back garden.

Great selection of drinks 🍸 nice food too

Not changed since my last visit, just the same fantastic venue.

Personally, I think it was much nicer years ago when it was an old fashioned boozer, before all the Crouch End newcomers moved in. You could often be the only customers in the place during the day. I'm being nostalgic and selfish at the same time. But there was a time when this Victorian Gin Palace was a lovely quiet retreat with high vaulted ceilings. Perfect for sitting with a cryptic crossword for an hour. Nowadays it's noisy and crowded, especially in the Summer months in the garden. At least it's survived. Can't rate it any more than a three these days.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff good food

Nice pub in heart of crouch end

Lovely spot but Guinness is terrible

Very friendly good décor wish we'd stayed instead of moving on.

Great pub with a fantastic atmosphere, great grub and brilliant staff. Had an absolutely banging Christmas dinner this year which was tasty, beautifully presented and plentiful, making it excellent value for money.

Best pub in Crouch End. Spent Christmas Day here and the food was out of this world. The staff work so hard and always wear a smile. Hope it never changes.

Shocking Christmas dinner 2022. Took 1 1/2 hours for starter, another 1 1/2 for cold dinner with dried up inedible roast potatoes. Dessert served 3/4 hour later. Gave up waiting for drinks service and went directly to bar. First experience of Christmas dinner out. Cost me £700. Claiming refund.

Good beer in a fantastic building. Probably the best pub in crouch end.

Lovely old school exterior. Nice staff.

Very unprofessional. Me and my partner booked for a Christmas Dinner as proposed in a printed menu exposed in the pub. The Christmas Dinner menu included 1 starter, 1 main course and 1 pudding at a fixed price. On the day of the booking, after being seated, we are presented with a completely different menu, similar to the usual menu with only some Christmas additions. Importantly, this menu did not have a fixed price but individual prices. Inquired, the waiter told us that running the Christmas menu was "too much for the kitchen" and they decided to cancel it. We don't question the decision of changing menus but we should have been informed of the change before the day of the booking. We traveled far to eat the Christmas Dinner we had previously booked and, honestly, knowing it has been canceled we'd have canceled our booking. As a compensation for having been lured in on false premises we have received n°2 mince pies free of charge.
