Reviews of The Griffin
My friends joined me there for a birthday dinner and we all had a tremendous time. The pub is clean and inviting and easy to feel relaxed in.. The food was good and the staff were intent on making sure we enjoyed our visit. We look forward to our next visit.
The change in the Griffin was great! )love it no more dodgy people....
Nice pizza shame about there not being anything else available nice garden
OK but very expensive
Deceptively big place - huge garden & semi-open back area. Nice staff, limited but good menu.

The Sunday roasts are back and BETTER THAN EVER ! Absolutely delicious really generous portions. I had the Trio of Roasts option because I couldn't decide - perfect Sunday :)
Great pub. Went for Sunday lunch with kids. Food and service were good and prices were reasonable.

Apparently the new management is pushing the Sunday roast here. We went yesterday and it was superb. Highly recommended.
Amazing place to eat. Good prices. Nice portion and very friendly staff.
Love this pub. Great atmosphere and big beer garden which can be used in the winter.
Great cider on tap. Lovely little fire going in the back area and had a great night with the pub quiz!
Really nice atmosphere, and in summertime even better in the open garden, I love it!
Nice local with great history and large garden. Interior could be nicer especially in the second part of the pub

Love this pub! The atmosphere is wonderful inside and even better in the spacious beer garden. The missing variety in terms of local ales they definitely make up with the delicious and creative choice of food!
Great atmosphere. Shame the kitchen seems to either be shut or half of the things on the menu aren't available. How about bring back the sunday roast? Many moons ago you guys use to do it! Was amazing.
It's fine for a 🍻 or 2....

Lovely lunch
Perfect garden
Nice boozer
Fun
Often crowed
Great staff
Great night
A good local.
Great
Great evening
Good place to have a meal and drinks. Only problem is that customers are not following the rules as set out by the government. Staff tries their best to encourage customers to respect the rules, only when they happened to be passing when serving the drinks and meals.
Decent place
Love The Griffin
Interesting
My local so expect bias. Nevertheless, a lovely friendly pub with a real fireplace, three big screens across various spaces and one of the biggest gardens in the area. Comes into its own in summer but the wood panelling, two sided bar and back rooflight makes it welcoming when it's chilly outside too. Food is okay, nothing special but great deals in the week mean you can have a cheap night too. Toilets small but always clean and staff always courteous. Long live the Griffin
Had Sunday lunch with the family 👪 meal was fab service was great,get down there on a Sunday and have the roast 👌
Best beer garden in the area
There are lots of outdoor tables!! With a beautiful back garden! You can watch sporting events in peace... The beer is very good and reasonably priced!! The staff is always very friendly and even the regular customers are very nice!! I'm always happy to come back!!
It was bright during the day and I could tell that the inside of the store wasn't very clean. Food is delicious.
(Translated) Pretty decent place. The venue and staff deserve 5 stars but frankly I didn't like hamburgers and chips.
(Original)
Oldukça nezih bir mekan. Mekan ve personel 5 yıldızı hak ediyor ama hamburger ve cipsi beğenmedim açıkcası.
One of the historic pubs in the area. The best is the garden.
I wasn't very happy with our lunch. To start with it was a struggle to order the drinks and the food. I was disappointed to find out there was only pizza in the menu and the table it was dirty, I realise it's a garden table but wouldn't hurt to clean when your customers arrive. We'd have had more drinks but like said before struggled with the ordering App.
(Translated) Good pints
(Original)
Buenas pintas
(Translated) Thanks to the brush

Merece la pens
Beautiful local pub with an awesome beer garden and great atmosphere
Great pub, great beer, great quiz nights!
Thanks to the staff. Big shout out to JAH Flavours.
Really impressed with the food and will be coming out for sure to try out the rest of the menu.
Massive big garden too here so for sure come and try it
Lovely local pub with a great garden space. Part of the outdoor space is covered and the rest is exposed to the elements, so there's something for everyone!
They usually have resident food stalls, so keep an eye out on their socials. Managed to go when Jerk + Grind were there and had an amazing, hugeeeee Carribbean roast dinner.
Would recommend for sure.
They also show sport 👌🏿
The garden was a lovely place to go for a beer and a catch-up.
We had booked a table so we could also eat, unfortunately only (good)pizza was available, which was disappointing.
Nice friendly atmosphere with a great beer garden and pizza to order on site.
Really friendly staff, efficient service and awesome atmosphere. The music was also much appreciated, lots of rolling stones, Beatles, the kinks... Generally pretty darn cool!
Nice pint of Gamma Ray in a surprisingly large garden. Felt like quite a cool pub.
Superb pub, friendly staff, bit of a festival feel in the back garden. A real hidden gem!
Really nice pub! The beer garden is lovely, and there are outdoor toilets (which are actually nice and clean!) so you dont have to go in and out of the main pub. Staff are really friendly and helpful, and there is a stall selling pizza outside which you can order to your table. I had the Hot Dod, which was incredible - I ate the whole thing, which I wouldnt usually be able to manage! Will definitely be back.
Lovely pub but I can’t believe they waited until an hour before my Father’s Day lunch booking to tell me they’re not doing food! Really inconsiderate
Lovely beer garden. Paid a tenner for a burger with a brioche bun that was cut up in a square and poor quality beef. Potato salad also awful and I'm generally very easily pleased. Sort your kitchen out!
Huge beer garden, very tastefully done. Nice selection of beers and friendly team behind bar...definately one of North London's nicest beer gardens. Also Pet Friendly!!
Lots of space great pizza and cakes. They'd ran out of decent beers though
Amazing roast dinner, beef was perfectly cooked as requested. This pub has a really friendly atmosphere with a great team of staff who are super welcoming, we love coming here!
They had a DJ last night, which was Friday. Pizzas were nice and the beer. Staff friendly.
Great staff, clean beer and a calm atmosphere. What more could I ask for?
Delicious food, all home made! The potato and cheese croquets are the best I've ever had! Great chef and lovely big beer garden.
A brilliant pub with a lovely large beer garden. Completely revamped with nice cabanas and newly refurbished outdoor toilets. Brilliant service and food. Staff were very helpful and attentive.
Nice atmosphere to watch England smash Ukraine 4-0 😁😁 🏴🏴
Friendly and helpful staff! Great deals with beer pitchers
The annual finish for Rapha HOTN, great beers, and great frites at the end of the ride followed by all the action on the big screen. Very helpful and friendly staff.
The best Sunday roast we've had in a long time. We both had the beef and the meat was good quality, there were a good amount of well cooked veggies and roasties, plus the gravy was delicious. Staff were lovely and attentive too.
Love the make over - just what the griffin needed! Bonus, there is now a pizza menu, and it's delicious. Staff were clear on guidelines and communicated them well. I had a great time!
Amazing Pub with excellent food service and staff.
Garden is lovely. Was let down with no food available on the Monday or Tuesday but they allowed us to bring food in which we were very grateful for.
Small cosy pub. The kitchen was closed on our visit, but the staff were great. They have three big screens with sky sports and lots of boards games to play.
Absolutely love this pub! My friends and I often choose The Griffin to be our weekend spot. It’s great to see the pub following all the government guidelines and making it feel relaxed at the same time. Staff are friendly too👍🏻
Very nice bar, a little small and can get cramped a bit but a good pub none-the-less.
Edit: Ignore the cramped comment, absolutely massive garden that you wouldn't know was there! Lovely hidden gem!
Griffin great pub always busy all the time. has a lovely beer garden. if you like live music griffin pub is the one to go too. great atmosphere in there. staff very friendly
Held sons 18th party birthday celebration here. The staff kept us in good communication, were accommodating to our needs, sorting out speakers for music&allowing us to bring in cake. We ordered buffet food which was tasty&a good quantity. (The only thing to note is the room was quite narrow&furniture could do with a spruce up,but then again the room was free to hire.The drink is also on the pricey side) Overall we were very happy with our choice&my son had a very happy memorable occasion there! Thank you Griffin. Helen Moon
I loved this London pub. Staff food and other clientele were wonderful. Food was okay for price considering how busy they were. Music was diverse and pleasing. I was so tired I did not notice the disabled access.
Good pub, nice garden... I've only been twice but both times unfortunately a number of taps were off and the Guinness came out like ice cream. If that was fixed, would be a good little battle cruiser. Maybe I was just unlucky. The staff are nice enough.
Fantastic Nut and Veg Roast, even though I'm not a vegetarian, I gave this a try and was really pleased I did. The nut roast itself had loads of flavour, and the veg was all really well cooked and seasoned. Friendly staff and other customers. Did have the football on, but not too loud, so you could still chat easily.
Lovely pub, came here for
My birthday after
The three horseshoes refused to find a table after we had already booked, much nicer and way Friendlier
Lovely old pub with flagstone flooring feels like a country pub in London. Very cosy place with decent ales and lagers provided by friendly staff. Highly recommended if you're around Whetstone
Most expensive pub in the area. Has a massive outside garden. Always seem to change the staff every time I have been in.
Fantastic garden nice ales very friendly local pub.
Amazing food / the jerk meal is awesome especially on Sunday/ relaxed atmosphere and super friendly staff
Lovely staff and great atmosphere!
This was the best cheesy chips I have ever had!
It had been a very cold day. After nearly freezing to death, We found shelter in the griffins warm arms. Hot, melted cheesey goodness poured over thick, hand cut chips. When we say poured, we mean drenched, chips swimming in the cheese!
And this was no ordinary cheese - we can’t say what type of magic they used - but we did see the chef POUR the cheese from the pan.
Wow.
And it was all served with a smile.
Thank you The Griffin.
Just what we needed.
The Sunday roasts are back and BETTER THAN EVER ! Absolutely delicious really generous portions. I had the Trio of Roasts option because I couldn't decide - perfect Sunday :)
Amazing pub garden, warm welcome, good staff, good drinks!!! Dog friendly
Why don't you have the burger menu anymore? Wanted to have dinner with friends yesterday, but the Mexican only menu didn't appeal. Otherwise I really like your pub. Great beer garden.
Beautiful beer gardens in the back with lots of seating available. Bar area is tight and can become very busy but staff are pleasant and get drinks served quite quickly.
Nice pub and garden out the back. Garden great in the summer. Food nothing to get excited about but ok and reasonable prices. Usual standard brewery beers lagers.
By far one of my favourite pubs in London (unless there is a sports event on). Always good food, friendly staff, a good selection of drink, large beer garden and a building full of history.
Nice food and good atmosphere, just a little on the expensive side.
They have a huge and lovely outside area, very quaint, colourful and enjoyable. I think pictures speak for themselves! 🌷
Upon entering the pub we were given a very clear explanation of their covid and safety rules 🙂
They’ve also implemented an online ordering system (to avoid physical menus) which we thought is pretty organised and the service was really fast.
Oh they also have a huge screen for any football fans.
Definitely would highly recommend this pub and would go there regularly if we lived nearby.
Great atmosphere. Good drinks. Would recommend.
Great pub, huge garden, excellent food without breaking the bank
Had the most fantastic night with lovely people at the griffin with the brilliant band undersigned.
What an amazing band and with the locals being the same we all danced the night away
And had the best night ever. Will be seeing this pub a lot more .
No body cares about this place because is a bit in the corner outside of the big reflectors.
. But hey guys... Here food is soo good and choices for veggie and vegan are looooots. Price soo honest and looots lots lots of beer. I'll just ho back and go back and back again in this place.
- Possibility to seat outside.
It's a light, open space with traditional and modern seating (you might need to grab a cushion or two) with sanded down tables and plenty of seating hidden round the back. The ambience changes depending on the time of the day - generally welcoming without being too boisterous
Lovely garden, carefully organised in the new climate with a lovely atmosphere. Staff attentive, drinks served quickly and had a lovely evening x
Good crowd, great open mic Tuesdays. It seems to be the most laid back pub in the area. It also has a huge beer garden which is great in the summer.
Lovely Pub, I took part in the Rapha "Hell of the north ride" this was the pub at the end of that ride. It catered for a lot of bikes. We watched the Paris Roubaix here and had a well deserved beer! I'd come here again
Not the nicest setting but it has a massive beer garden and some good beers. Very pleasantly surprised at how good the food was, much better than your average pub fare.
The Sunday roast is epic! We got the beef and the chicken and the portions were massive, great value for money, freshly made, the gravy was dreamy and the meat was juicy and delicious!
The garden is huge. Good vibes. Friendly staff.
Great pub, good beer range
The beer garden is really nice in good weather and there's a couple of comfortable indoor seating areas as well. Service seemed quick and reliable on my visit.
Not bad. Family friendly wit lots of space, but my food wasnt properly cooked and was served almost cold and they were not busy at the time so maybe expected a little better. Bar service was good and friendly.
Because this place has Kieron, you'll find Kieron at the back in the courtyard. He brings the banter and makes everyone happy. Katie is pretty awesome also, infact she's probably my favourite thing about the Griffin to be fair.
Had the staff XMAS meal here. Totally wrong for a meal - had the regulars eying up our food. But the food itself was good. Liked the backyard area with its mix of areas.
It was very good. Only doing pizza but they were great! Thanks.
I love The Griffin, great beer garden, great atmosphere, amazing pub quiz with brilliant prizes on a Thursday - but look up your new releases for the twist question at the end!
The live music is really chilled out, and perfect for a few pimms in the sunshore outside. The food is great...but the prices are a bit OTT which makes you go next door and get awesome food at half the price.
Nice pub in north london and they have a lovely extend back area worth chilling in if you passing through that area. Parking was difficult for me so keep that in mind.
This is the place to go in Whetstone if you want to sit outside. Truly vast garden. It was all going on when we went. Band playing inside. Sports coverage. Thumbs up.
Great beer garden in the summer. Inside it a bit small but overall not a bad pub for a pint
Great place for a drink spent the afternoon here the staff were friendly limited menu. Big outdoor space.
Loved this pub of old, the gorgeous pub garden, the burgers. Went the other day Devastated to find that the cuisine has gone Mexican, bring back English pub grub asap.
Great food and drinks
Great local pub. Regular live music. Good choice of drinks. Friendly staff. Amazing outdoor area
Great pub with a massive beer garden. The food is a little bit hit and miss. Sometimes great sometimes only average
Would have been a great afternoon except for only food available was pizza.
Lovely pub with vintage decor and an impressive garden. Only minus is the toilets (ladies) which are tiny and in need of a refurb.
Great old fashioned pub, large and varied, with a good range of food and drinks. Plus a large enjoyable garden
Good service and coffee and great Pizza
A local pub with a HUGE rear garden which is divided into different areas, some covered.
Great outdoor space with very nice ambiance
Quite shocked actually! Amazing friendly greeting, extremely attentive INCREDIBLE value and VERY decent coffee too! Definite re visit for me!
