About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for groups
Charming

The great British pub is back and it's right at the heart of East Finchley.

The Bald Faced Stag pub, on the corner of High Road and East End Road and only a 2 minute walk from East Finchley tube station, is a beautiful pub with hints of old and new creating an amazing contemporary atmosphere throughout the week. With a menu filled with seasonal specials, pub classics and Sunday roasts to knock your socks off, our dining room is a must-visit for foodies around East Finchley and Muswell Hill.

We take pride in our huge pub garden, which is available all year round thanks to our heaters and covers. Our beautiful mother tree stands proud in the center and makes for a romantic spot.

Our waiter was pleasant and we had no issue with his service. The food was ok, but maybe not worth it for the cost (though it was mother's day so should have expected a bit more). We had a wonky table and the bathroom sink had cut hairs on it that was overly pleasant. Unfortunately the 2 key starters were not available which was disappointing as it is what we wanted for starters. An ok experience as a whole but nothing particularly special.

A good, reliable pub. We enjoyed our Mother's Day meal, with decent food and service. It was evident they were very busy, but they managed well. I'd consider eating here again, though it's not a top priority.

We arrived having booked a table. No server came to take our order. We spoke to the chef who said there was only one person on. After 25 minutes we left.

Nice, friendly, warm pub. Great ambience and a really fun quiz night. And great way to spend an evening and I love the pub garden in summer. A little bit pricey for the area perhaps, but honestly most gastro pubs are priced similarly, and the food does not dissapoint!

Hi Jay, thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. We really appreciate your feedback and thanks for your kind comments. We're looking forward to the summer garden too now that spring is on it's way! We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best Wishes, Team Stag
