Ye Olde Mitre Inne, Barnet

Thanks to everyone who has written supportive comments to try to counter the “hate” mail that has appeared on here. Unfortunately, this website is not well maintained so it is difficult getting these sorts of silly comments removed. We’re CAMRA Barnet & Enfield Pub of the Year winner for four years running. If you want to enjoy a drink or a bite to eat in a truly historic, traditional family pub with really nice people, then come and join us. If you have prejudices, want to be vulgar or bother other people then go somewhere else.

Re the last review, I think this must be a joke or a grudge of some sort! If it was me, I don�t think I would come back a few times if it was so bad!

Just for clarity, we use a very highly regarded national wine supplier; our clientele is very good and we tackle any unsavoury behaviour (hence why we sometimes get people with grudges); the dogs are very professionally trained guard dogs, very well behaved and are never allowed to roam the pub; and I don�t think I am that bad!

We have just received Pub of the Year for Barnet and Enfield for the 3rd year running. Thanks to all our many loyal customers for their continuing support.

Re. the last reviewer, I am pleased to hear that you liked the Mitre.

Not too sure what you mean by �cold shoulder treatment from 11pm� though. We serve drinks until midnight during the week and 1am at weekends, the latest we legally can. We start advising people politely from 12.15am and 1.15am that its time to drink-up and go. We close the doors at 12.25am and 1.25am respectively. These are late standard opening times for a pub.

Is it possible that maybe you were enjoying yourself so much that you lost an hour or two��if so, its maybe not that surprising that the staff want to go home to bed at these times!

Re. the last reviewer, I (the nasty scot) am the owner and there is no requirement by law anymore to display a sign above the door. My name is, however, displayed on the licence hanging on the wall (as required by law) and various certificates around the pub.

You are obviously completely unaware of your behaviour. You ignored me through 15 minutes of being asked to leave, apart from one sarky comment to the effect that you would finish your drink in your own time. You were the only one left in the pub, then you decided to go to the toilet. I was up at 6am and I was pissed off, but it was you who called me a cu*nt.

We open as late as we legally can and give a generous drinking-up time. I make no apology for expecting people to show me and my staff respect by leaving when we ask. I have lots and lots of nice customers. I don't want you back.

What the last reviewer failed to mention was that he was sitting on one of the Norwegion bloke's knees and shouting above everyone else in the pub! Two of the Norwegions returned, in quieter mood, the following night and were served. They joked at how they had been drinking throughout the previous day and how drunk they were when they reached this pub. We try to run a good pub for everyone to enjoy which is free from yobbish behaviour and we make no apology for that.
