The Ferryboat Inn, Tottenham Hale

It's a pleasant, cosy pub and perfect for summer in the beergarden or cosy fireside drinks on a winter sunday. One of the few pubs in the area you can take your parents to. The food generally is 5 or 6 out of 10 which is a shame because it could easily be much better (the basics are good but spoilt by being overcooked, underheated or on cold plates, ie poor microwave technique) They could serve exactly the same food with a bit more care and it would be 7 out of 10. BUT out of everywhere I've eaten steak in London this is the only place apart from the Gaucho Grill that actually serves a rare steak rare! For that I can forgive a lot of cold plates. Now if only they sorted the chips...
