This pub is ok for a quite drink and maybe a cheap meal,But it does sell a great pint of ESB,and also Abbott,its a fairly clean pub although the gents could do with a plumber,The meal I had was good value and fair portions and most of all enjoyable,and the staff used words such as please/thank you.there are no pool tables and two tvs but on subtitles,which I think is good,there is some background music but not loud enough to bother anyone,I was suprised however to see it required to doorman of a weekend,This pub is ok for a quite drink and maybe a cheap meal,But it does sell a great pint of ESB,and also Abbott,its a fairly clean pub although the gents could do with a plumber,The meal I had was good value and fair portions and most of all enjoyable,and the staff used words such as please/thank you.there are no pool tables and two tvs but on subtitles,which I think is good,there is some background music but not loud enough to bother anyone,I was suprised however to see it required to doorman of a weekend,

I live in Wood Green and decided to pop in the local Wetherspoons one evening after the cinema. It was quite late so we didn't expect to be served food. We didn't expect much from a chain other than regular hassle free service, but were disappointed with the heckling me and my friend received from the person checking IDs. He was quite rude to both of us when it took us a while to find our evidence (keep in mind I am 30 so am not used to being asked for ID!). When we finally got inside I was further accosted by a manager or supervisor there, who very rudely asked me to remove my hat, while I was ordering at the bar, as it was "against company policy". Needless to say I felt very uncomfortable and won't be going again, my party were all dressed very respectably and didn't appreciate being talked to as if we were a gang of yobos. Oh, and the house wine was cheap too. Avoid.I live in Wood Green and decided to pop in the local Wetherspoons one evening after the cinema. It was quite late so we didn't expect to be served food.

Review by bee_girl

Rating: 1.00This is and always has been rubbish. Hang out for local grunge kids who think they're cool cos it's the only place they can get into underage. Pretty expensive, likely to get stabbed when going back out into wood green after. Has a dance floor which used to be jam packed, but since the smoking fan like most places is now empty most of the time. It's probably nicer now than it was for a quiet drink in day time/early evening, but way too loud for this at night. It is however close to Wood Green station so easy to find and accessible. An okay place to start a night out before heading into town.This is and always has been rubbish.
