I had the roast beef today. The beef was excellent but the potatoes lacked flavour and roastness. They could have done with more care. We were shown to our table and left to figure out that you need to order at the bar. Not once did a waiter check on us throughout the meal. When we called them over they were pleasant, nice and accommodating enough but mo table service at all. It's the table service that makes the experience of eating out as important as the food.

This is a magnificent family local pub. Caters for everyone. Families, football supporters, young and old. Outstanding. If they do a community pub of the year then this place should win it.

I’m posting this only because I have been asked to by the venue when completing an emailed survey. If you’d like me to delete it I’m more than happy to just let me know:Been here twice. First occasion was about 3yrs ago and decided we wouldn’t return. Primarily because it was a little dirty ie. Cutlery, plates etc. but nothing that would cause an issue. We were served our lunch and manager had his thumb in our food on the plate. That wasn’t for me. Then I saw a marketing campaign advertised on Facebook and thought let’s give it another go. We live locally so it wasn’t too much trouble to get to. Venue full of energy and busy but it was enjoyable. We were seated by an attentive host and everything seemed friendly. We came with appetites and were looking forward to a full roast. I immediately noticed that the table hadn’t been wiped down and there was ground in food on the cutlery on the table. I didn’t moan because I grabbed another set of cutlery off another table. We ordered starters and had a side plate which I immediately noticed had something black on it - like a small piece of burnt food or something unidentifiable. It was a side plate so I didn’t care but alarm bells were now ringing. Our mains arrived and I had to ask them to clear the starters before putting our food down - although I accept this is a common problem in the UK where staff only care about dumping food down and not clearing tables - that attitude would account for dirtiness I suspect. The main roast was absolutely fine and lots to eat. Honestly, it perfectly edible but that’s where the interest stopped as it was distinctly average with honestly zero taste. It wasn’t unpleasant but it was just totally tasteless. Not sure what else I can write tbh. Dessert was ok. It did have flavour but a little light on the substance side. I had the crumble which seemed to be more crumble that it did anything else. Again, was perfectly edible though. Then the bill. Service charge is added which is absolutely fine but then I was asked for a tip which apparently would go direct to the server. Tbh I have in because I was having a nice day with my family but that was the final straw and an absolute piss take! Categorically, I won’t be back. Interestingly I was speaking to my neighbour who said they’d had a similar issue there and didn’t think much of it. I’m not bashing the place but you wanted feedback so here it is. I apologise if this upsets or bothers you but I won’t ever be back so honestly not fussed. Shame because it really could be something good there but it’s clearly the same old problems. Edit:tbh I wasn’t going to leave a review but I received an email requesting one. Having posted it here and being bored, I looked at other reviews. It seems cleanliness is a key issue with this venue including the toilets; lipstick on wine glasses, graffiti in the toilets, dirt on tables and cutlery. Upon further research it seems this is simply owned by a business (see other reviews) where they will churn out the same stuff again and again. That sort of pub isn’t for me and having read the reviews, clearly isn’t for others. Edit after response: Ah now you see I was happy to leave the ‘seemingly’ negative review at that and frankly wasn’t even going to post a review but you asked me to. As with ALL business in the UK it seems you don’t actually want feedback unless it’s positive.So because your response virtually puts the onus of responsibility back onto me I am now compelled to respond to you directly.Firstly, how about accept the sh1t experience and feedback and say “sorry about that,we’ll try harder and out things in place”?But no,you’ve chosen publicly to explain that it’s all my fault because I didn’t tell you about it at the time!Well maybe (and here’s just a thought) you employ staff that can actually wash dishes and cutlery on the first place!It’s not my job to tell you how to do yoursOr maybe I should cook the food for you as well?I’m pleased everyone on the net can actually see your true colours responding in such a pathetic and negative manner.

I was very disappointed to have ordered a hamburger from the kids menu to find out it was a toy burger, so small I had to order a second one for my child. You can see how small it is from the photo in comparison to the ketchup cap. Even the normal hamburger isn’t that big or tasty specially for the high prices. Spending £62 for two normal hamburgers and two kids ones and a half lager, I find it quite expensive. Complaining to the waitress she said that other families have complained about the hamburger from the kids menu and that it was already reported to the pub company but nothing has been done. This pub for sure will never see me going there again. Also in the man’s toilet there are rude graffiti not suitable for kids. My kids and I had a very bad experience.

We had our baby shower on a Saturday day time at Salisbury arms and had a lovely experience and a memorable day. We ordered from the buffet menu and the food was great, there was something for everyone, with big portions. It was very good quality with lovely options. The service was lovely and they let us get on with decorating our area how we wished too. Thank you!

Mixed experience with this pub. We didn't expect to have a football match on the screens. I may have missed this but I don't think the website mentioned it. The pub side should be clearly separated from the restaurant side. The Sunday roast (chicken and beef) is huge and unfortunately, the burger is tiny in comparison. the service is very correct.

The food quality has declined and seems below average, possibly due to a change in the chef. A year ago, it was much better. However, the atmosphere and service are still excellent

Of the three pubs near Winchmore Hill Green this is the one I like best. Inside it is bright and spacious whilst outside there is a large seating area, some of which is covered. They have 3 cask beers and a reasonable whisky selection of around 15 bottles. I opted for a double Makers Mark bourbon at £9.30. They do sell food and have a specials board in addition to a set menu. The food did look good. The toilets are upstairs. If you use the pub car park give your cars' registration number to the bar staff to avoid getting a ticket. In summary a nice pub well worth a visit.

Having had a good pint in the Dog and Duck, an excellent pint in the Orange Tree and visited the Little Green dragon where the ale was excellent I was disappointed with the pint of Ghost Ship in the Salisbury. It was awful. If you like lager and wine go for it. Real ale go elsewhere.

Food quality in the past was mediocre, however the menu has been refreshed since and I am keen to try it soon. Drinks wise I came on a friday night & there were many students and security on the door. The crowd is very young , in case you are curious. Did take a while to get served. It is a beautiful building outside and inside!

Went to this pub for the Thursday 'steak night' 2 steaks and get a bottle of red, even checked with the staff that the deal was on, (this was also clearly advertised on the board outside). Found a table and went to order the 2 steaks and wine to be told by who I think was the manager that they were not doing the offer!? No apology or reason as to why, more annoyance from her that it was dared to be asked for. Very disappointed as we were looking forward to trying the food, but we decided to leave and drink and eat elsewhere, where false advertising was not on the menu.

Service was not a disaster but wasn't great: Asked bar dudess on 1st visit to the bar if they served wheat beers. No idea was the response. Need to find out ourselves somehow. 2nd time up, despite being free, another bar dude motioned we have to come to him to be served. In our order was a 'signature cocktail'. He said an ingredient was unavailable so we went back to table to seek out an alternative. Choice was made and returned to the bar to order a different signature cocktail. Bar dude said he doesn't know what drinks are on the menu. Need to find a menu and bring it to him. Maybe it was all just a bad day and not representative of the place usually. But I can't speak to that and I'm just relaying what we encountered.

Lovely pub, gorgeous decor and artwork. Busy and relaxed atmosphere. Food was lovely and very tasty but we did notice that those of us who chose roast lamb received a very poor sized portion of lamb. Rest of the roast was really good. Cocktails were lovely and dessert was gorgeous. Coffees also good. Toilets - awful. For the standard of service, food and decor - the toilets were not pleasant and not maintained to the standard you'd want or expect.

I was late for my table booking, I didn't know I could call to them know. I arrived there my table was taken. The manager was really kind and helpful and advised he would see if he could get the people occupying the table to move to another available as I had booked the 2 hr slot for that table but didn't call 2 say i was running late. He said he would do what he could. I got the table the people were understanding and gracious. Just wanted to say the Manager always goes above and beyond to accommodate me and others. Always very helpful and the staff all greet you with pleasantries. Shows they are happy staff. Music always good and a good vibe always and there is security for safety.

Went last night. Took ages to get served and some of the clientele quite ignorant pushing their way in front to the bar and staff don't seem to care who's waited longest. My main issue is that I noticed today I'd been charged over £13 on my card for one pint. Difficult to challenge this of course. I was the only person there over 40, not an issue, but it really is a bit of a towny suburban place for 20 somethings to cop off. Maybe on a week night its better, but being overcharged on my card annoyed me. Not impressed.

This was my second visit to the Salisbury Arms. One of our children recently moved to Winchmore Hill and uses the pub regularly. We booked a table to watch the football the first time and for a late lunch the second. First impressions are its an amazing space. There is loads of room outside with heaters and good views of screens for the sport. We were inside on this occasion. The service was very good. Friendly and efficient, If you are of a shy disposition you can order from the table and hardly need to engage with the staff if thats what you prefer, but we are a bit chatty and so found them all to be really good fun. The food was only okay the first time but really good the second. I wouldn’t expect super quality food at a football pub but my fish and chips were a bit disappointing, On reflection that may have been because they were so busy. On the second visit I had the seafood pasta and it was very good. I’d recommend it very highly for what it is. Very friendly, great value and decent food
