Ye Olde Mitre Inne in Barnet

Always enjoy going to the Mitre.

Best pub in Barnet. Always has been 🍻

Lovely flight of Beers at The Mitre with a packet of Nuts - entertaining locals made my visit even better! Nice variety of Beers & Other drinks with a nice short Menu with a special of Wild Boar Bangers & Squeak

cant fault this pub Its brilliant

Real ale well kept;Vocation Best Bitter (Hebden Bridge,W Yorks) normally drink the TTLL but this was absolutely stunning and served by friendly bar staff 10/10 see you all soon.

Nice old pub atmosphere but terribly cold sitting out at the back of the building. Had to keep our coats on.

Super cosy with a great beer garden and warm pub vibes

Great pub, great staff and great food, would definitely recommend!! The pies are great and local ales are reasonably priced. Bit of a sting for level head though £££!!

Friendly service, great food and reasonably priced drinks! I’ve never had a bad experience at the Mitre. I’d recommend ordering the steak and ale pie!

The mitre pub in High Barnet is so homely very warm during the winter amazing atmosphere i love the decor and architecture the drinks taste fabulous and food is fantastic never had a issue

A very friendly pub with a great range of ales, especially the guest ales. The staff are very friendly and attentive. A great place for a friendly drink. I have been using the Mitre for many years. Elinor, the latest manager is doing a great job.

Really nice building but didn't feel at all welcome. My wife got dirty looks for breastfeeding our 4 month old and the bar staff made it clear we had to leave by 7 because of the baby - a shame but we won't be going back

Chilled place to meet friends for a drink and meal.

Lovely little pub, fab menu, great choice of gins and tonics too

Only had a drink but good old fashion pub.

Really professional and friendly staff

Oldest pub in Barnet. Lively place, nice heated outside space. Good selection of beers.

We were visiting family in Barnet last week and we went for a quick drink in the Mitre with my Mum before going home. It's a pub I was already familiar with, having drank here many times over the years. I like the fact that it dates back to the 16th Century and retains much of its character as part of an old coaching inn. On this occasion, I was particularly impressed by the number of cask ales on offer (there's usually a good selection, although I've sometimes found myself disappointed); there were also several 'craft' beers available, according to the blackboards. It was busier than I expected (there was a large party in at the time) and we ended up sitting in the old stables at the back - the pub extends a fair way back from the High Street. My one minor gripe (and it is minor) is that it took a little longer than expected to be served; I'm mentioning this because it isn't the first time I've experienced slow bar service in the Mitre. However, we weren't in a hurry, so it wasn't really an issue. All in all, I'll be returning to the Mitre when I make a future trip to Barnet!

Went for a quick drink on boxing day. Great selection of drinks for all tastes. My beer geek partner was impressed by the selection of cask ales. The building is steeped in history and extremely cosy. I have never been in the summer,but beer garden looks fab. Lots of greenery and shade.

Classic and traditional English tavern with a wide variety of draft beers and fast food. Good atmosphere!

On a cold, dark, and windswept Sunday Night The Great North Road through Chipping Barnet was a bleak place to be searching for a traditional hostelry. Having rejected several, alas, modernised establishments nearby, I peeped through the not very promising condensation-obscured windows of Ye old Mitre, and risked popping in. Thawing out over a mulled cider served by a very pleasant bar-person, it gradually dawned on me as I took in the details of this lovely old rabbit warren of a coaching-house, that it is one of the last real pubs left around London. Marvellously-curated real ales, and all manner of intriguing beverages freshly chalked-up. In every direction there are inviting nooks and crannies, very comfortably furnished, with beautiful fireplaces. A reassuring buzz of conversation amongst friends, rather than the strident yahooing so prevalent elsewhere these days. As a regular of such establishments as the French House, the Dog and Duck, (Soho), the Nags Head (Hyde Park Corner), and even the old Lamb and Flag, Covent Garden, during its heyday, I can see that Ye Old Mitre is a splendid discovery, beautifully looked after by its Owner and Team, to which I shall return right speedily!

Really like this pub, it has good food and the staff are lovely. Great pub food and the portions more than adequate. 😀

Nice pub friendly staff Shame about the prices my lager was £1 more than other pubs in Barnet

Extremely atmospheric pub indeed especially with the Halloween 👻 decorative theme. The staff are very friendly and helpful when choosing a drink to have. I chose a pint of Abbott Ale🍺

Halloween weekend, brilliant band, staff all dressed up (all had made a great effort) and cliental all happy and having fun.. then a power cut happened around midnight, maybe it was the rain, maybe it was the pubs ghost who knows!! But one thing was for sure, the staff were amazing! I'd like to say how professional and understanding all the staff were in a sudden crisis. People were told what was going on and it was clear safety was key. When people were told the pub was closing everyone understood and this was clearly a reflection of the staffs management. Massive congratulations to all the staff and the manager on handling a tricky situation which happened out of the blue when everyone was having a great night.

Quite unwelcoming staff. Not great atmosphere at all.

Absolutely lovely, historic pub and the pride of Barnet. Draught Tim Taylor Landlord and GK Abbot were on beautiful form tonight. Delicious food and friendly, welcoming staff. I asked my son where he wanted to eat for his birthday and he said: “Old Mitre”. They kindly gave him a free dessert! Top place

Not a big pub goer but this is a nice one and historic. It's an old coaching stop. Landlord is happy to pour a snifter if you want to try something you're not sure of.

Good pub in High Barnet, very good pub quiz on Thursdays too.

Great outdoor seating area with heaters, good Beers and spirits. BUT NOT IF YOU WANT something non alcoholic! The only non alcoholic Gin was a Strawberry flavoured offering & they didn't have any Sparkling water.. call themselves award winning.....not if you don't cater for people who can't drink alcohol (on some occasions!)

Clean glasses, clean tables, good selection of beer, nice outside area which can be covered quickly if it rains. Food was good although we only had the Halloumi and some onion rings.

Tried to go for dinner here with my parents, husband and 2-month-old baby on Saturday evening. My husband arrived first and ordered a drink before we arrived. The pub wasn't busy - we were the only customers inside and there were a couple of groups outside. Our baby was being quiet. We weren't planning to stay as they had stopped serving food (it was 8:20pm) but as my husband was only halfway through his pint, my parents and I ordered drinks while we waited for him to finish. After we had paid, one of the bar staff said unfortunately the pub has a policy of no under-18s after 7pm and they hadn't noticed the baby when we walked in. We agreed that we would finish our drinks then leave. A couple of minutes later another staff member came over to have the same conversation with us, even though she was aware this conversation had already happened. This seemed unnecessary and we reiterated firmly that we were going to finish our drinks which we had already paid for, then leave. We also observed that the pub's policy was discriminatory against me as a breastfeeding mother, as my newborn baby needs to be with me so effectively their policy bars me after 7pm. The staff member said she didn't make the rules and had just been instructed to speak to us by her manager. A few minutes later the manager came and said he heard there had been a conflict. We had the same conversation with him and he confirmed it was fine for us to finish our drinks then leave but he remarked that there was a sign on the door advising of the no-under-18s-after-7pm policy. We checked this as we left and couldn't find any such sign. The policy itself is unpleasant and possibly illegal but the way the staff handled this was appalling. As they had only told us we couldn't be there after we had paid for our drinks, they should have either offered us a refund or just let us peacefully finish our drinks then leave, rather than making our time there so uncomfortable.

Very pleased that The Mitre hasn’t changed since Greene King took over. If anything it’s improved. Great beer choice and the food is better. The biggest relief is no changes to the interior. I have visited this pub for over 30 years and the history of it has always been a big motivator. Long may it continue in an age where still many pubs are closing

Best pub in Barnet! Great beer - good options and well kept. Friendly staff. Atmospheric bars. Large outdoor seating area. Live music a couple of times a month too.

I can’t recommend enough, the pub is amazing and carries a lot of history. The drinks taste outstanding! The best part is the staff being so accommodating and attentive

Lovely old style pub and great outdoor space at the back

Awesome historical pub in teh heart of Barnet - nice outdoor seating area, food well priced and enjoyable.

Love coming here on the weekend, the guys behind the bar are super welcoming and the atmosphere is always warm and inclusive - would recommend to everyone.

A very good local pub in Barnet, staff are very friendly and they have a good selection of drinks to choose from. Would 100% recommend that you pop in for a few drinks either on your own or even with friends!!

Extremely old pub with a quirky front door, excellent selection of drinks and pub fayre, all served by friendly & knowledgeable staff. Can get busy on a weekend evening.

I really enjoyed getting a few drinks here. The customer service was really amazing and the team all worked really hard. Would definitely recommend. The building is also lovely.

Love this pub. The beautiful building, and friendly and hard working staff make this the only pub in Barnet I'll frequent.

Great staff, great beer and great service. 10/10 would beer again

I have frequented this lovely pub multiple times and have always had great service and food. The atmosphere is always nice and chilled which is to our liking. However, loved the drag night too, was a great time that even my elderly mum enjoyed. Highly...

Great service. Great atmosphere. I was served by inez. Great customer service. Definitely recommend.

Great service. Great pub. Lovely atmosphere. Was served by inez. Good customer service.

Friendly, cosy, warm hospitality and atmosphere, fantastic range of ales and ciders, lovely beer garden! Oh and the place is ancient! Which automatically makes it a superb place to visit!

Lovely pub with Friendly staff and nice outdoor sitting area

Really nice pub lived the building and atmosphere the cider was really nice and gluten free too

Excellent proper pub! Friendly team, good atmosphere, lovely beer. And I'm visiting from South London. 28 Nov 18 dropped to 4 stars. Still good, though some empty pumps i.e. less choice and I think maybe under new management. Fingers crossed 🍺 Visited recently (June 23) and would recommend Ye Olde Mitre and definitely back up to 5 stars! A good range of ales, friendly bar team and sheltered outside seating area. Lovely sunny afternoon spent here. Thank you.

Beautiful cosy historical pub with different areas and a gorgeous beer garden. Quiet fit for families and banter. Pet friendly

A fine old London boozer. Didn't eat, just a quick pint. Recommended.

Great, very traditional pub. Great selection of beers and a nice outside space for warm evenings.

Good old fashioned pub selling a fine variety of real ales, lagers and ciders. There's a quirky beer garden and lots of interesting historical pictures and newspaper cuttings on the walls. A real find.

I ordered a couple of drinks at the bar and was told that the bill came up to £10.65. Since I only had £20 notes in my wallet I gave one of them to the bar maid. I asked her if I could give her...

Excellent pub! Good beer and friendly service

Really nice historic pub. Decent real ale range too

WONDERFUL PUB....LOVELY LOCATION....NICE STAFF...

Excellent, friendly pub in the centre of town.

Order a triple cooked chips with your beer - and the beers are great too

Amazing pub with great food and staff! We walked in here Thursday for a pint and was pleasantly surprised by how good it is and welcoming. We’ve lived in Barnet for a year and always walked past but never went in and we wished we...

Amazing pub, and lovely friend staff. The food was amazing! Couldn’t fault anything! Mine and my partners new go to! All the staff were very welcoming and lovely! and the dog menu is great if you have a pup xx

Even older than my mum and the toilets are posh,theres a horse by the snug ! Don't ask just know it's a great pub

Friendly, ancient watering hole with an excellent Moose Head 'home brew'

Typical Barnet pub. Good Ales, some beers on draught. Worth a visit

Best nachos I’ve had for a very long time and good beers, always a good vibe and perfect environment overall.

First time I have been here in 20 years. Great atmosphere and pleat if shelter out side space for those warm evenings. Friendly service and the food menu looked good, although I did not eat.

This pub has had its ups and downs in recent years but the new team has revived it, although at the cost of heroic noise levels at times. Still, the rambling structure and excellent courtyard garden leave plenty of room to escape to. Food is...

The Mitre is the best pub in Barnet and probably the oldest. With a great selection beers, new craft and traditional ales.

Oldest Pub in Barnet. I like the atmosphere here. Good selection of beers too.

Historic pub in busy Barnet large selection of beers and other drinks. Low ceilings and beams and steps inside might limit access. Food served large outside seating area at rear.

Historic venue, great atmosphere, great beer and friendly staff.

Less guest beer than there used to be. Not enough staff when busy. Much quieter these days. Brewary run now and it shows.

Excellent choice of beers. Their bar food is very good and delicious 👍

Great coffee. Very welcoming old fashioned boozer with some live music.

Great, local pub. The Mitre has lots of original fixtures and parts dating back many hundreds of years. A fab outside courtyard garden is a delight on warmer days and inside their are different areas do you never feel overwhelmed with people. Good range of...

Great atmosphere shame it's Greene King owned who have ripped me off in the past

Now this is a pub to feel at home in. Traditional features, comfortable seating and good range of good beers. I was surprised how spacious it was as I goind it stretched back so far. Have to visit Barnet Hospital nearby so hope to return here a number of times

Great Stuff, Great Management, Amazing Atmosphere and Very Reasonable Prices….. #upperCutzBarber

Excellent olde world pub with good ale.

Gorgeous historic pub with friendly bar staff and diverse group of customers. Great selection of beers on tap and gins!

Great pub! Lovely outside garden, friendly and helpful staff! Lenny created such a great atmosphere! Thankyou for making our evening more enjoyable!

Wonderful place to go and relax after work, friendly staff, nice clean and cosy with a wonderful heated garden hidden out the back will defo be returning

Had a really great time at this fab pub! Customer Service was 5star and the vibe was A* - myself and my group will be back soon! Might even become a regular place for us!

Really good alcohol selection and amazing food really clean with very polite staff

Lovely place great staff, perfect traditional pub while visited family. I’m from Devon so this place while I was in London for two weeks became my local. Will be back again 👍👍

Love this pub great ale and traditional English beer

Lovely place with friendly staff and a good selection, always made to feel welcome

Friendly staff great atmosphere, nice food

Enjoyed the variety of different beers, friendly staff great atmosphere. Will go again

Great selections of beers and friendly staff. Nice to walk into a old english pub with character.

A most wonderful pub! The service is warm and friendly, swift and pleasant. The beer is always good quality at a very decent price. Wine selection is perfect and also a good price. The public areas are always clean and well maintained. The gents toilet is always clean and fresh. I highly recommend this Barnét Boozer to the masses!

Everytime I visit this lovely old pub it has been a great experience. The food is tasty and good value for money and the staff friendly and efficient. Can't recommend it enough

Ancient pub deserves respect. Ye ye!

Absolutely lovely pub Very friendly and welcoming. The staff are great. The manager is well above average. Professional and recommended. I will definitely recommend it and make it my regular. Best pub I’ve been to in years. XXX Tim

Rude staff, no explicit information regarding no children allowed. Approached our table to kick us out. Should be informed that this should be done by a professional door supervisor and not someone from behind the bar. Such a shame a historic pub represented by rude people.

Visited once. Not going back. Unwelcoming and rude staff who refused to serve us because we had a child, when there is no information children are not welcome. What a disappointment

Rude staff and unpleasant smell. Do not recommend

Dreadful experience tonight. The mitre has been our local for the past 30 years but atmosphere and service have been affected since Green King took over. Staff look miserable. Greeted by an unsmiling bar server with a ‘you’ll alright?’ Drinks ordered, only to then have to leave at 7pm because my 22 year old daughter (drinking a non-alcoholic Appletiser ) couldn’t provide proof of age. Apparently you now have to be 18+ to enter the pub from 5pm onwards. Dreadful music now playing from speakers and bright overhead lighting to rear seating area. Such a shame ….

Lovely cosy traditional pub. Perfect for Christmas cheer.
