The best restaurants serving British food in Alexandra Haringey London

Freshly opened when Alexandra Palace Railway Station was refurbished mid-2014, The Yard is a very welcome addition to the area, not just for commuters, but for locals too. Serving home-cooked seasonal food, including salads, sandwiches and a range of delicious cakes, the family run café is an intimate place to enjoy lunch, meet a friend for a coffee or to grab a hot drink and snack for the train journey. Open in time for the first train of the day and into the evening, there's always a warm welcome from the friendly staff. You can also pick up one of the home-made preserves to enjoy at home - I'm already addicted to their lemon marmalade - as well as deli items and cut flowers.

Underwhelming food. The kids menu roast was stingy with half a carrot, half a parsnip and about ten peas. The Yorkshire cut in half also added to the generally ungenerous feel. Two puddings appeared on bill we didn’t have. Server was very nice and helpful but left feeling unsatisfied
