The Mossy Well (JD Wetherspoon), Muswell Hill, N10

Steve of N21 left this review about The Mossy Well (JD Wetherspoon)

Opened in 2015 on the site of a former Milk depot, this is one of the better spoons. Small outside terrace to the front, large internal space on two levels and then a rather splendid, tiered garden that can seat in the order of 200 out the back. As others mention below, pre covid the lower level of the outside space was used more as a children’s play area, but this all changed with the pandemic and the tiered garden out the back with its large areas under cover is a fantastic spot for hanging out on one of our increasingly frequent summer heat wave days.
On the beer front I’ve always found the beer options here to be decent, as they were again on my last visit. Alongside the usual trilogy of doom were Hadrian Border Brewery Northumbrian Gold, Adnams Double Ghost Ship IPA, Robinsons Trooper, Lymestone Brewery Lymestone Cowboy Golden Ale, Bishop Nicks Divine ESB and a very fine Titanic Plum Porter all priced at £2.55 during a Monday to Wednesday.
Yes, it suffers from all the usual ‘Spoons ailments, slow to get served at the bar because there’s usually only one person working the bar whilst others are busy doing the app orders, and dirty and uncleared tables especially on the mezzanine floor which usually gets forgotten about at the expense of downstairs. On the plus side the pot boy mentioned below was also spotted albeit downstairs and I never saw him venture to the higher level.
Where this one also scored for me was that all the guest ales were available to order on the app, which hasn’t always been the case in many others, so I could take a seat, order my Plum Porter and relax reading Tim’s latest propaganda rag.
