No cask. Keg offering was Guinness, Madri, Blue Moon, BT Gamma Ray and Neck Oil, Pravha, Staro, Carling, Aspall, Fosters.
Agree with the observations below. This has the feel of a working men's club and is a large oblong, bare boarded venue with the bar counter in the rear right-hand corner. Several TVs on with commentary showing the build-up to the Arsenal v Spurs game, lads sitting with their lagers and fish and chip suppers being the demographic here. Regular tables and chairs, a couple of ledges on the left-hand side towards the back protruding from the left-hand wall. A pool table in the back left-hand corner was much in demand and many here had their exceptionally well-behaved dogs with them. This won't be a highlight as a pub, but it was very friendly and served a likely valuable place in the community beyond several of the gastro type pubs and gentrification in the area. There was a preponderance of fruit machines in the venue, and it felt like it had an entertainment bias from the board of live events here over Nov and Dec but not updated for Jan and Feb at this stage.

Poked my nose in this one and can confirm that is is unchanged from the previous review some three years ago.
Still very much a sports bar with a social club for middle aged blokes and beyond feel to it.
Still no ale here and Guinness and standard lagers seemed to be the preference of the locals. I wasn’t in the mood for some John Smiths cold crap so went for a softie and it wasn’t long before I was heading further up Priory Road towards Hornsey for the Great Northern Railway Tavern.
It serves a purpose but I won’t be bothering with this one again over the nearby Elizabeth Stakes

The Priory is a sports type pub that is set in a row of shops and a Ladbrooks.
Once inside there is an oblong shaped room which runs to the rear,the bar is on the right side,the room is bare boarded and the seating normal tables and chairs to the front,settees in the middle area,there is a pool table to the rear.
There were no real ales on the bar,so it was a drink of John Smiths Smooth Crap which was crap.
The background music was from Heart FM.
There mainly older male drinkers in who seem to love the John Smiths Smooth crap.
Not really my sort of pub.
