The Queens in Haringey

Good food with a regularly changing menu, wonderful staff and a great atmosphere. A little pricey but worth it every penny.

Fantástico pub con la clásica selección de cervezas y un Sunday Roast simplemente delicioso (muy pero que muy recomendable). Tuvimos un poco de frío ya que la calefacción no estaba puesta e hizo que no nos quedaramos más rato. Sin embargo fue una gran experiencia y repetiremos

Very nice interior. Drinks on the expensive side. Service was lacking

The Queens 📍26 Broadway Parade, London N8 9DE 🚇Hornsey The Queens is located in the bustling heart of Crouch End close to local landmark The Clock Tower. The nearest station is Hornsey mainline. This grand public house was built between 1898–1902 as The Queens Hotel. The Salisbury in Harringay which has similarly grand, was built by the same Victorian developer, John Cathles Hill. The Queens features in one of my favourite London gangster film’s, Love Honour and Obey. Once you walk through the impressive corner entrance you arrive into a magnificent bar that is full of original period features. At the centre of the bar is an ornate island servery with detailed wood panelling and a curved counter. The main bar area is divided into four sections with a dining area and an open kitchen at the rear. Everywhere you look around this palatial pub you’ll see beautiful Art Nouveau stained glass, attractive intricate plasterwork, and swathes of dark wood panelling. The beer selection will please most with a choice of mainstream beers, London brewers and three cask ales. I decided on an Amstel, my pint was great, price point was average at £5.80. The food menu is classic British pub grub, Fish & Chips is priced at £17.50. We arrived at 12pm on a sweltering hot Saturday lunchtime in August. The pub had a few punters in the main bar and a good crowd in the courtyard beer garden. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, whilst we sat enjoying our pints, the topic of conversation was all about the majesty of this pub. The service was welcoming and pleasant. Across London there are many iconic Victorian structures, none more so than the Victorian built London Pub. The @queenscrouchend is at the pinnacle of Victorian pub architecture and decorative design and is also a great place for a pint. We loved our time here and would definitely recommend you visit. 📅 17th August 2024 More London Pub Info @londonpubmap 🍻

Went for a veggie Sunday roast and it was spot on. Really good pie with gravy. Great ratio of veggies to pie on the plate (that means not a stingy amount of veggies) with excellent red wine cabbage. Combined with a solid choice of local things on tap, couldn't recommend more. Also had a wonderful playlist on the aux.

This place smelled like pee but looks so cool. 5/5

I try to go for a roast most Sundays and 90% of those are disappointing and overpriced. I've been coming to The Queens for 3 years, mainly only Sundays, for their roast and it never disappoints. One of the best roasts in London - I've never had a bad roast here they're that consistent. They don't skimp on the veg or roasties either. I should've taken a pic but I'm too busy eating it...next time! In addition, the staff are helpful and the pub has a great atmosphere. Get thi' sens down for a feed and a pint!

Horrible beer They must not clean the glasses/pipes Pint of Amstel was disgusting as was the pint of Camden hells. Don't bother coming here unless you want a horrible taste in your mouth.

Good pub, good place. I will return to try the food. It looks promising!!!!

Beautiful pub. Feels like old London

Wonderful establishment. Not only is every drink crisp and clean- the food cannot be faulted at all. And I'm a ridiculously fussy person when it comes to food and drink quality. Fabulous bar staff and management- honestly the best place in crouch end

Oh wow! We popped in for a drink and were bowled over by the stunning interior. Original decor throughout and an absolute treat for those interested in stepping back in time. Nd what a lovely atmosphere - young families, dog friendly, people helping themselves to the board games on offer. Definitely coming back to try the Sunday lunch!

We had an incredible mixed roast with bottomless Yorkshire pudding which was incredible. My partner quoted “it’s my dream to eat a roast with unlimited Yorkshire puddings”. His dream was fulfilled. Staff were lovely. Thank you!!

Good Sunday roast and I enjoyed the hand drawn cask ales. Garden in the back is a nice place to have a pint and chat.

Really enjoyed the fantastic Sunday roast, served in a beautifully restored Victorian interior. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

Manager is exceptional 10 out 10

Much better now they've taken the silly canvas roof off the garden. Got some sun bathing in while enjoying a cold (and surprisingly inexpensive) beer

Feels like the menu is improving all the time. It isn't quite back to its pre-pandemic glory days (leg of lamb steak with lyonnaise potatoes!) but it's getting very close. Good rotating selection of cask ales, happy staff and a splendid Victorian interior.

Tried this pub 2 times and both times the Sunday roast we tried was just yummy and the bread pudding was delicious. I highly recommend this place. Food is delicious and the service is great and quick, the atmosphere is nice and relaxed. 🤩

En serio, el MEJOR asado que he tenido. Catered para ser intolerante al gluten sin ningún alboroto hasta el hermoso pastel de queso de mango y helado de coco. Cielos. No puedo recomendar lo suficiente. Ven aquí. Estarás encantado.

This pub isn't for anyone who looks "intimidating," according to the new bar staff. I am a firm believer in not judging a book by its cover. My husband is 6 ft. 5" well built and in a well-paid professional position of work. However, he was treated less than because of the way he looks , the staff should be retrained on manners and inclusivity. This pub used to be a nice place to have a social drink under the previous management and staff, but it appears to be run by people who are obviously scared of their own shadow.

Lots of tables and you can see the kitchen in front of you which is a nice touch. The stained glass windows are very pretty. The garlic prawns starter was delicious and tasted very authentic. The portions are huge and the fish and chips were fresh and tasty. The cod fritters were disappointing as chunks of fish in batter when I was expecting flaked fish mixed into batter - please change it. The pasta dish looked delicious. Fantastic quick service and the man was very hospitable checking everything was ok and bringing sauces and cutlery as needed. Clean toilet with baby change facilities.

Este es un magnífico pub, vale la pena venir solo para mirar la arquitectura sola. El personal es excelente y trabaja muy duro. Lo que vimos de la comida se veía bien. Pero me temo que aquí es donde se detienen los elogios, 6 de nosotros aparecimos a comer aquí como un regalo, pero nos dijeron que se negaron a dinero en efectivo que era todo lo que teníamos, esto es totalmente inaceptable en este día y edad, especialmente en un pub local, así que no volveremos.

Great place for relaxed evening bite and beers .. their sticky toffee pudding is amazing..

Arrived for a reservation at 6:30pm, first told there was no beef left, then, after being served, was told there were also no Yorkshire puddings left. Then they served someone else who had ordered after me Yorkshire puddings. Really disappointed - I wouldn't have ordered if I'd known there were no Yorkshire puddings (or none for me, anyway), and felt really ripped off.

Beautiful pub, nice food and friendly staff.

We love this place. 3rd visit in a decade( because of covid) but we'll be back

Visitó ayer (domingo) para una comida con la familia (4 carnívoros y un vegetariano). Nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos tan pronto como entramos por la puerta (y somos norteños también). Nuestras comidas fueron servidas rápidamente con mucha amabilidad y el tamaño de las porciones era enorme. Las comidas estaban muy sabrosas y la opción vegetariana fue probada por mi hijo y mi esposa, quienes dijeron que si volvíamos, ella elegiría esa comida porque estaba muy sabrosa. Buen trabajo fuimos a dar un largo paseo después. Siento no haber conseguido el nombre de nuestro servidor pero era muy bueno. Sin duda volvería - visita.

Lovely Sunday roast, staff amazingly friendly while at the table they came at least three times to ask if everything was alright! 👍 totally recommended

The Mixed Sunday Roast with bottomless Roasties and Yorkies was exceptional! Soon to be a regular

Service fine plenty of space relaxed feel - and great windows!

Veg roast was a joke - the Wellington was a fish finger slice serving, gravy was nothing but salt - all for a rip-off sum of £20 - “bottomless veg” not offered though with all due respect I ordered a Wellington with veg, not veg with a slither of Wellington! Toilet floors covered in urine. Staff were friendly though

Absolutely loved this place. The Sunday roast was amazing and they had tons of gluten free options for my partner.

The Queens was great. Great staff, great food, great place, what more needs to be said but make a booking! Or just drop in like we did to see if there a table free.

Fabulous friendly service, great location and decor inside. Tables weren't too close together. Highly recommend the Sunday roast beef dinner and crispy beef salad. Delicious and thank you! My husband prefers thicker gravy but this was proper beef jus and my brother and sister in law loved the extra gravy on theirs. Just under £150 for 4 Sunday lunches and 2 rounds of drinks, not bad for London at all.

Nice old pub, but served by miserable hipsters more interested in talking to their colleagues than dealing with customers. Also couldn’t use the till. Not sure what was going on

Good choice of drinks small menu but decent food, and beautiful architecture

Lovely local pub in Crouch end. Great beer selection and the space is stunning

First visit recommended by Jack, Sunday lunch including vegan option was delicious. Staff very friendly with amazing service. Atmosphere is warming , great decor. Highly recommend

Just want to shout out all the gluten free options on the menu - literally most of the menu! I was looking for a local Sunday roast and so glad I checked out the menu here. Can find gf roasts but often not Yorkshire puddings, such a treat. Even the puddings were all gluten free! I will say I have an intolerance, not diagnosed celiac. But do highly recommend The Queens. Servers were lovely and helpful as well.

Really nice garden and lovely food. Good vibe and atmosphere!

Decent food with generous portion sizes, just took a while.

I always find the staff friendly, the ale and bitter well kept and I like the bar snacks. Fried chicken and also had their chicken wings, very good.

Got the veggie roast, Wellington was nice but was a bit plain. Unlimited gravy (and roast potatoes) were a welcome touch but the roast potatoes looked and tasted deep fried. Got busier when we left about 4-430, was quiet and easier to get a table when we arrived at 3pm. Friend who got the beef was much happier.

Nice atmos, great for drink outside in garden.

Had dinner here on a Monday evening. The food was very good, freshly good and good quality.

Good beer and great service! We had come from another local pub where the service had been poor so it was nice to be greeted by friendly staff.

Banging fish and chips - great service - classic London boozer

The vegan pie was totally amazing. I had a great birthday experience. Thank you to the queens. Very lovely staff very friendly. I hope the staff enjoyed the cakes I gave them.

Had an amazing experience today and our bartender Lana was so helpful and sweet. Such an asset. Nobody had to wait long as immediately when you arrived at the bar she was there to serve us. Amazing vibes and staff

Went for a Sunday Roast as a bit of a treat today and WOW, the food was unbelievable. So good. Absolutely loved it. The roasts were out of this world and the cauliflower cheese was on a whole other level. The perfect meal from start to finish. The staff were also really friendly and the service second to none. Thank you!

Fish and chips X3 plus 6 pints. 2 Peroni and 4 Asahi. can't fault any of it. Service was great and food was spot on. The batter was unbelievably good

Really nice place to get a drink in the evening. Speedy and friendly service.

Had a beef burger on the weekend. Beef patty was of a very poor quality, and they didn’t cook off the beer battered onions - the whole burger was sour. Service was lovely though.

Not the best food, starters were ok although stupidly overpriced for the size, don’t recommend the steak burger, smelled strange, wouldn’t eat here again but been for drinks plenty of times

Very unfriendly to our baby and dog, made to feel a nuisance, it’s a shame as we thought they were a friendly local. We are very disappointed.

Great service, lively atmosphere.

One of the best roast dinners that we have experienced in London. We made the visit to Crouch End purely to visit The Queens on the recommendation of a number of locals. A very cosy restaurant with a large seating area, we were seated at a table for 2 in the far right corner by the food counter - arguably the nicest table in the place. Could not fault the service, the food was perfectly cooked, plentiful and of a very high quality. The only minor comment that we both made was that we would have liked a few more roasties (but then who doesn’t). A definite must visit!

Disappointing 12.5% service charge automatically added to the bill - staff are little off hand as they don’t need to try in order to receive a tip. Tips should be discretionary and staff should ‘earn’ them. Food ok but nothing special - pasta slightly under cooked and the steak burger was made with onions which overshadowed the flavour of everything else. We could hear the kitchen staff from our table who were swearing at one another. The best part was the building itself - lovely. We’ll be giving this one a miss.

Excellent food and service. Traditional pub atmosphere.

Thank you for a very enjoyable New Year's Eve. Great music, friendly and efficient staff and a lively atmosphere with everyone up and dancing. Congratulations to all involved!

Place was packed, so atmosphere was good and friendly, staff were ok. Some seemed friendly compared to others, definitely worth a visit and would go again.

4 of us Had a great 3 course Christmas lunch at the Queens today. Food was lovely and very generous portions. Had to asks for box to take some home. Staff were attentive and polite. Very reasonable prices for the amount of food we had. Highly recommend.

Visited here for a little Christmas meal with friends and was invited to a lovely pub with beautiful architecture The waiter working was really kind and attentive and made sure we were happy at all time I had the Cumberland sausage - coming from Cumbria, it wasn’t the best but it was good, portions were quite small however The main downside was the price with salads being listed at the same high price as a burger (£17.50) Otherwise it was a lovely meal 😊

Disappointing, not sure what has happened to the place or if it's under new management. Choice of beers not great, limited menu. I had a steak burger, it looked great on paper, not on the plate. Wetherspoon's special would be many levels above. Wasn't even asked if we were happy with the food, you know, the usual mid eating question. At a £120 for 3 people, Wetherspoon's definitely would have been the better option.

I was upset because my Milanese Chicken I had yesterday evening, was horrible. It was over cooked and very dry and difficult to eat. It tasted of burnt oil, I didn’t complain as I didn’t want to upset my host, but I won’t come again. It’s a shame as your food used to be so good, and I love the ambiance and service was great.

Held a book promotion event here, the staff were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere and decor of the pub was lovely. I have been there for drinks previously and sat out in the garden, great place

Decent Pints of Guinness. Good Friday afternoon atmosphere. Pleasant service. Would Return.

We have been going to this gorgeous pub for years now. The Sunday roast is so delicious and the portion is generous too compared to the other places that we have been. We also order fish fingers for our little one that turned out to be a piece of a fish cured into few pieces ( not a shop bought fish fingers) which was delicious. It’s usually fully booked on Sundays in the dining area so better to book a table in advance. They also have a heated garden area and the bar side where they serve food as well as drinks. They don’t do chicken roast any more which is shame and I hope we see that coming back to the menu in future . 😊

Impressed with Sunday roast, good food quality for all the dishes we had. Service fairly good for a pub and ambient atmosphere proper pub style. Nice options for food and drinks and wine !! Indeed five full star experience. Would go again.

Wonderful meal as normal, gluten free fish and chips are awesome!

I can only offer a five star as a default. The welcome from the young Korean lady at the bar, amazing and maybe we shall argue over Welsh or Korean for some time to come. The place is a super late Victorian pub but with the most fantastic Art Deco windows, simply amazing. The ceiling is also stunning. A great privilege to be able to have a beer with these people.

Stunning old-world style (large) pub with fabulous staff and a fantastic atmosphere. Beer garden, food and amazing selection of beers. Love this place - just love it!!

We love this pub, relaxed vibes and dogs welcome, what more could you want! Also there's a covered outdoor area which is really nice 🙂

Good real ale. Nice Oktoberfest bier. Pricey but decent decor and surroundings. Buzzy atmosphere.

Beautiful pub, with a lot of architectural caricture, various rooms & places for a good chat.

Lovely, place BUT do not ask for bleu or rare for your "onglet", they will NOT do it. great shame. PS: this is the correct cooking for such cut.. ;-)

Great pub for dinner and drinks. Service is also great.

Planned a roast before the hottest weekend in October. Hand some lighter food, salads, fries, chicken snitzel. Excellent.

I am having my 50th birthday party 🎉 there...!!

Went out with my family when we were splitting the bill one of our party got called a fat ba***** by the man on the bar because we were taken too long in his opinion splitting the bill. My girlfriend got confronted with one of the bar women outside of the pub when she said nothing to her and just seemed like she wanted a bit of the drama. At the end of the day the bar staff was very rude and I wouldn’t be spending my money there again.

Bello, cordiali, spazio interno ed esterno...

Came back four times for pea and mint soup!

Me and my husband came into the Queens to grab a bite of dinner. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and the food was AMAZING! My husband had the Fillet steak sandwich and I had the crab and king prawn linguine, both exceeded our expectations. Also, a great selection of drinks for drinkers and non-drinkers alike. The real star of the show was definitely the staff though. Well done Queens crew, 5*

Have always been in the area but have never paid a visit, went last night the place was packed, a good selection of lagers and a nice court yard garden the pub also has a massive bar and original decor throughout which you don't get much these days. Well worth dropping by.

The Queens' Sunday menu had been recommended to me. I checked the menu: it said the sirloin of beef is served pink. It wasn't; it was brown. More to the point, it was too tough to eat (and I've got all my teeth!) and fairly tasteless. The carrots were OK. The green veg was somewhat overcooked. Since I was lunching with someone I don't know that well, I let it be. She ate maybe half of her porchetta. However, I was surprised that my uneaten meal was removed without a query about why it was practically untouched. The coffee was good.

I must say, after all my years of going around London I finally found the one. As soon as I walked in I felt at home The friendly faces, the warm lighting, the vibrant windows and the beautiful staff. I ordered my drinks and was served by two lovely boys named Luis and Ferris. Very friendly, pretty and welcoming. I was new to the area and they gave some great recommendations. Ferris made this joke and I still tell my friends to this day. It was outrageous and not one for Google reviews. The food was amazing as well, Harvey and Jake the chefs and I must say they know how to throw it down. *chefs kiss* This weirdo Seth was there, apparently hes there quite often and he loves it and no wonder why. I’m now with him everyday. Ps. The ginger ones quite fit

Wonderful old-fashioned pub, interesting drinks menu

I love The Queens. I feel so lucky to have such a gorgeous local. We used to eat here all the time, too. Not anymore, though, alas. The prices have wildly outgrown their britches. It's silly- I can eat at that lovely new French place on Middle Lane or really pretty much any of the fun Highgate options for better food and more reasonable prices.

Very large place, lovely building, lots of games to play, no cash option to pay. Didn't try the food but offers look good.

Great chicken schnitzel. Warm and cosy atmosphere especially in the winter!

Great staff, great atmosphere. Shout out lui ❤

After many years of coming as a local especially when I went the last few times the food was just not up to scratch. I had a few month break and as the weather was nice I decided to give it another go. I was very surprised to see Queens went all cashless, the garden was painted all grey making it feel like some kind of facility and just it lost charm. :(

Food drinks and service went right downhill you will pay an absolute fortune and on top get descriminated upon. We spent a lot of money there until their food services and common sense went down the drain Sad show even worse service Maynard or la Fabrica provides a much better value for money with delicious food…. Also a cashless venue must I say more

Excellent pub. There Sunday roasts are to die for. Had the mix roast and is one of the top roasts I’ve had in London. Desert of chocolate brownie is heaven. Lovely wait staff. The pub has a classic London pub feel. Will be back.

Great service all round!! Friendly and welcoming staff and great food. It has a fantastic intact Victorian interior, and a generous sized outside space to the rear for alfresco dining. Will definitely go back!!

We, as a family of 4, had a brilliant experience. The food was truly delicious and the staff were incredibly warm and professional.

Great pub in Crouch End with a nice garden in the back, excellent food and a wide range of beers. Some of the best pub food in London - particularly liked the steak sandwich and chicken Milanese
