The Queens Head, Winchmore Hill

Went there for lunch today - great food, friendly service, keen prices for Winchmore Hill, a roaring fire and buzzy atmosphere. They even have Scrabble and Monopoly board games. What's not to like?

Usual Hill haunt is the Kings Head but we'll be swapping genders from now on and going to the Queen's instead.

Shave Cross Inn, Marshwood Vale

Lovely garden and a friendly welcome. Beer pretty poor.

Food above average - watch that jerk chicken though its pretty lively! Caribbean chef even makes the tomato sauce in kid's spaghetti a little spicy so my two little ones really struggled to eat it.

One big concern is cleanliness. Toilets were disgusting so it was no great surprise to see a dead cockroach in there. In addition the owner's three great danes were wandering around the kitchen on the lookout for food and the owner didn't do much to stop them.
