Queens Tavern - Highgate

I've been here several times and had very mixed experiences. The drinks are generally good with various mixed messages about table or counter service. I have attended for a few drinks events which are similarly mixed experiences. The meals are up and down so I wouldn't bother coming for the food - some dishes are good value and taste fine, whereas others are very stingy with bland flavours although cooked fine even if meat tends to be overdone. Nothing I've had or seen here is particularly worth raving about. What killed it for me though was attending a recent drinks event here and to watch staff get drunk attending with friends and devour the entire food setting and hog the whole amount set for the entire event before anyone else could get to it, and then be rude and snotty to other paying customers. While this isn't the venue's fault inherently, I felt it should be noted and the response was very poor. I've never had a venue feel it was OK for staff to get drunk and treat customers this way with them taking priority over customers so I won't be back although I never felt the food was worth coming back for anyway. A shame as it's got a nice beer garden in my local area.

The Queens is a great Pub and always vibrant and buzzing. I've been going here for many years and it just keeps on keeping on. Great food and good selection of wines. Bar staff are friendly and efficient. Outside in the winter is great as they have the heaters going and of course in the summer in the lovely courtyard under the shade of the trees they normally have the light spray of sprinklers going to keep you cool. Check it out and you won't be disappointed.
