The Queens, Crouch End, N8

Cannot really add anything to the excellent review below, as far as the superb interior of this large Victorian pub is concerned, just to say if you do find yourself in the area of Crouch end, it’s highly recommended to come and see it for yourself. On the first real sunny afternoon we’ve had this wet August. The pub was advertising its secluded courtyard garden on a chalkboard on the pavement outfront, so it was no surprise when I entered to find that this was where most of the action was. As described below, they only serve from one section of the expansive bar area, but at least on my visit there were signs clearly indicating the sections that were closed and arrows pointing to where you needed to go. Three hand pumps adorn this section and for my visit theses were Adnams Mosaic, Sharps Doombar and the Brunning and Price house bitter brewed by St Austell. So not a stunning line up by B&P standards, but I forgave them as the Mosaic was very good and the secluded courtyard garden was indeed an excellent spot catching the afternoon sun but with enough tables under shade for those that required it.

Superb looking pub with a smashing interior.Great to sit in a pub like this and imagine the glory days of yesteryear.Good pint of Thornbridge -lord marples and Doombar also on.

The Queens is a grand looking pub situated in the middle of Crouch End. Once inside the main drinking room is L shaped with the bar facing,there is an oblong shaped room to the left which is set aside for diners and there is a small room to the rear left,all rooms are bare boarded and have normal tables and chairs,the real ale pumps are in the rear room. There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of By the Horns Mayor of Garrat which went down well,the other beers were Sharps Atlantic and Doom Bar. There was quiet background music playing and food was being served. A very pleasant pub to have a drink in. Pub visited 4/8/2016
