A polished Highgate gastropub that feels like a chic New England boathouse or country retreat, renowned for its extensive wine list and bustling Sunday roasts.
Ordering Strategy
Sundays are incredibly busy, so booking is essential. For groups, pre-order the large sharing cuts (Côte de Boeuf or Suckling Pig). Check the website at 11am for the daily changing menu.
What to order
Sunday Roast (Pork Belly or Dry-Aged Beef)
Sunday sessions are so popular that spare tables are an 'endangered species.' The roast pork belly is praised as 'the most delicate piece of protein' with 'impressively crisp crackling,' while the beef options feature 'prime cuts of 35-day, dry-aged Aberdeen Angus.'
Whole Suckling Pig
A legendary pre-order specialty for groups providing a massive, theatrical feast. For those without a pre-order, the 'côte de boeuf for sharing' and the 'duck cassoulet'—elevated by the fat from 'chunks of smoked sausage'—offer equally substantial, meat-focused alternatives.
The Wine List and Mezcals
Widely recognised as one of London's best wine lists curated by the owner (a 'wine fanatic'), the selection also features a 'whole selection of mezcals for the truly intrepid.'
