New OwnershipSan Carlo has been a restaurant in Highgate for about 30 years.. but since Feb 07 is under new ownership.

The new owner is a very attractive woman called Gail, who has spent lots of money doing a complete re-furb.

The place has lost it's stuffiness and is a lot more relaxed and stylish now.

They serve food all day, so you can have anything from snacks (burger, omellete, fajitas etc) to a posh 3 course lunch right the way through to dinner.

Also at weekends they serve brunch all day ('til 5pm I think).

Anyway... it's now very nice and they have a pretty garden out back for use in summer.]]> Mon, 29 Oct 2007 15:12:00 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1j32m7r/san-carlo382102333 ac1977 american british seafood international business good value mediterranean brasserie expensive french romantic italian 51.570401490942 -0.14509677886963 The Red Lion & Sun http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1041u7h/the-red-lion-and-sun

My first 'regular' hauntI LOVE this place.

I've never been a real 'bar fly' before as I find most pubs unfriendly and a bit intimidating, but this place was so welcoming to my partner and I that we just keep coming back.

The food is really cheap but great quality, all cooked fresh and using great meat from Highgate Butchers... none of those horrid ready meals you get in other pubs.

Also, the drinks are quite cheap.

They close dead late (about 2am) and have beer gardens for the summer and open wood fires for the winter.

Simply great.]]> Mon, 29 Oct 2007 15:04:25 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1041u7h/the-red-lion-and-sun602003337 ac1977 independent pub fires log fire late license modern pub gastro pub excellent pub food beer garden 51.57264845574 -0.15148892084961
