The King & Tinker, Whitewebbs, Enfield

This is another isolated pub that’s miles from anywhere. This one does look to be food led. On the left as you enter is a small area with a fireplace and a couple of sofas; in front of the bar counter is a table that seems to reserved for dog walkers but seems to be bookable; with the majority of the seating being on the right and forming a dining room. All the tables on the right had reserved signs on them, but as the place was nearly empty on Friday afternnon we decided not to notice the reserved signs. The décor was a bit arty, including things like prints of ballerinas, dogs, a naked woman (every pub should have one!), and Paul McCartney smoking. Other stuff included a gold disc on one of the walls, a set of antlers on another, plus I saw a pub quiz advertised for Tuesdays. There’s masses of outside seating as well as a car park. On the surface the ale selection seemed quite good (GK IPA; GK Back of the Net; Bombardier; Hobgoblin Gold; and Thwaite’s Wainwright). But the Wainwright was in poor condition, but readily replaced by Bombardier – which although not brilliant was drinkable. This place doesn’t seem to be the sort of place that tries to attract drinkers, as opposed to diners. I don’t think that I would be hankering for a return visit, even if I did live a lot nearer.
