Pub

Bounds Green/Wood Green

About the restaurant

Perched on the corner of Finsbury Road since 1870, The Prince has long been a centerpiece of N22. While its look has evolved over the years, its charm & unique character have always endured, making it a true neighbourhood staple.

Primarily a local pub serving great beer from independent breweries around the country, we also have a dining menu centred around modern English fare.

The Prince is only a 5 minute walk from Alexandra Palace station and a 10 minute walk from Wood Green Station & Bounds Green Station.

All the food we had was great - would’ve given it 5 stars if hadn’t sold out of veggie option and run out of Yorkshire pudding!!!

The Alliance

Gastro Pub

Brondesbury

About the restaurant

The Alliance has been a core part of Mill Lane life since 1826 and boasts a rich history and heritage. Now, after a brief period of restoration, the pub has reopened under the management of Hampstead-born brothers Ben and Ed, their childhood friend Adam and Scott Soteriou . The boys have given the beloved local pub a new lease of life, with a brilliant bar offering, relaxed, vibrant spaces and a food menu that shows off pub grub at its best. You could even manage a mini pub crawl between their other Local Pubs The Duke of Hamilton (Hampstead) & The Clifton (St Johns Wood).

Lovely food and fair pricing, manager was delightful however the waitress who served us initially potentially needs to find a more fitting vocation, as serving doesn't seem to be either her skill set or something she appears to enjoy.

Another lovely evening at Piccola. I cannot say enough positive things about the brilliant staff, who are so kind with my son (3 years). My husband and I both had specials (him, steak - me, fish) - food was fresh and delicious. My son devoured his spaghetti Bolognese (he orders it every time) - and discovered a new love for parmesan cheese.

It's a popular spot, especially for birthdays. The food is always fresh and tasty, well presented and good portions. The decor is modern and stylish and the staff are all friendly and attentive. This one of my favourite places to eat in North London and would highly recommend if you're looking for a lively spot with food that is great and value for money.

I was unlucky with visit to Pho Islington. There was a group of 20 approximate diners. Waiters clearly were not coping with a group this size and it caused issues with our food that arrived in dribs an drabs. Bar service was quick, but again had to keep asking waiters for drinks to be topped up. Food was great as usual. I will continue to use Pho
