Due to pub closures this is now the only remaining pub on Green Lanes south of the North Circular before you get to Wood Green. A single room that wraps around the L shaped bar there are 3 ale pumps on the bar, but I have only ever seen one in operation with a decidedly average Charles Wells Bombardier. In an area dominated by Turkish and Albanian restaurants it is popular with the locals when there is sport being shown on the multiple screens and it’s fair to say the fizzy keg taps get a lot more use than the one operating ale pump.

This is a One Bar Pub is not too bad For a few quick Pints But it can be noisy when theres sport on TV. Its Reasonably cheap and servers a good Pint of Guinness and Bombardier Ale is normally on Tap.

This is a Barracuda chain pub complete with Sky and Setanta shown on a multitude of plasma screens and a pool table. There are a couple of hand pumps and Bombardier was available on my visit with the other pump not being used. There is also a standard draught selection available at very reasonable prices as is to be expected in a Barracuda owned pub.
I'd use this pub for the football if I lived locally, but I don't.
