White Horse, Edmontonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Quality boozer, I suspect they smuggle the bar staff in from Armenia in the same truck as they get their moody plasma screens from. Cheap and cheerful, also shows satellite TV from 47 different countries on various screens around the pub.

I�ll go along with the general sentiment that this pub is far better inside than the exterior would suggest. I found the barmaid to be friendly enough and one of the locals allowed me to buy my pint of Guinness before them as they were getting a large round in, now you won�t see that in any well heeled area.
There are plasma screens everywhere for watching the football, including the enormous four screener mentioned in a previous post. I�m pretty sure that there was a pool table and a dartboard, but my memory isn�t the best after the skin full I had imbibed.
There is a paved beer garden out the back which is enclosed by some wooden fencing and is overlooked by some exceptionally shabby looking flats.
I have been to far worse pubs than this one and I would pop back in if there was a game on and I was in the local area.

I think this pub is ok....nobody bothers you, majority are very friendly, and service is super-fast....i normally get cursed after i rate a pub so i'll probably be barred this week lol....until then, keep up the good work!

much much better than it looks from the outside: cosy and comfortable inside, with cluttered walls and big screen TVs. went 'undercover' on a match day and found it friendly and surprisingly unpacked.

I used to go here with my fianc�'s family about 5 months ago until my partners friend had a disagreement with the bouncer. He was called a *White bast*ard* and kicked in the head by the bouncer. I went outside to try and break it up but I left my bag inside. I went back to get it and I was told I was barred. Now...I'm an intelligent person so to be barred from a back street dive in Edmonton is a little embarrassing. I was not only refused entry to get my bag but they wouldn't bring it out to me. The following weekend I returned to see why I had been barred and I was shouted at by the silly barmaid, and yet again the racist brain dead bouncers shouted at my boyfriend (They obviously don't like white people). ALL THIS STARTED BECAUSE WE WENT INSIDE WITH A FRIEND OUT FOR A DRINK WHO WAS IRISH AND AS SOON AS THE THICK LITTLE TROLLOP OF A BARMAID HEARD HIM SPEAK SHE DECIDED HE WAS 'TROUBLE.' Because he's Irish? Now that's racist. But as we all know we cant say that can? This pub is a tacky little hell hole with hideously thick and anorexic bar staff who shout at their partners across the pub. MAMMA...YOUR PUB IS CRAP DEAR...SORRY! X

Possibly the most uninviting pub in Tottenham from the outside and that is saying something. Don�t be too put off though. Whilst overall the pub is far from perfect, the interior is quite a surprise, if a bit kitsch. The mock Tudor innards are divided into 2 areas, the main bar being a cross between a punch up in a flag shop and an exhibition of American diner neon tackiness. The ceiling is a mass of flags, billowing like clouds, ranging from the ubiquitous cross of St George to the Irish tricolour, the Saltire to the Australian whatever and somehow Glasgow Rangers also get a look in. Didn't see any Spurs though! Interspersed between them where space allows are bits of netting, bird cages and the odd teddy bears. The walls are plastered with promotional mirrors, holograms, neon guitars and J&B mirrors, somewhere between this clutter there is a brick fireplace and even a large aquarium. On the far wall a giant (and I mean giant) plasma screen which is so big that bit splits into 4 normal size screens. There is a separate games room with pool, darts and a couple more TV�s and when busy there is a better chance of getting a seat here. The bad news is that the beer selection is the usual mass market brands and no real ales which is pretty much par for the area discounting the �Spoons up the road. On the plus side, the prices were quite cheap and I was served almost immediately despite it being packed. As I have said, far from perfect but given that I was expecting to do a massive hatchet job on this pub, I found this place to be surprisingly interesting and much better than many of its local competitors.

The person who wrote that last comment would be better sticking to trendy areas like Clerkenwell and Hoxton.They would probably love the revamped ranelegh, in bounds green.The white horse is a decent local, with real locals in it!! Its a bit rough and ready, granted., but thats Edmonton for you!!Always had a decent time in here.Euro 2004, just one example

This is by far the worst pub I have ever been to.
Full of hostile drunken karaoke chav yobs who think they can sing.
The bar is staffed with useless and incompetent staff and is right disgrace. The loo doors were open to the main area of the pub so the stink from the gents could get into the main pub area, something that I think is positively disgusting.
Overall I wouldn't take my dog there!
