The Prince, Wood Green

Open for business with quality ale as first priority! Five Cask Ales @ £3.80 a pint (eat ya heart out, Mitchell & Butlers!), Seven Keg beers all at around a £fiver, plus a similarly priced range of ciders. Cheap - No, but compared to what else is on offer locally this is Heaven-sent. A micro-brewery from the boys at Bohem is also being planned in the billiard room also being developed as a function room. Magic!

The Ranelagh, Bounds Green

As with the other two Mitchell & Butlers pubs in the vicinity (The Starting Gate & The Maid of Muswell), enough is done to put the ambience well above other pubs in the area but there is no impetus to make them reach any higher and the starting baseline of the surrounding competition is low. There’s a small rotating menu of guest ales, but it takes some disregard to turn Dark Star’s Hop Head into a boring pint. I’m no gastroboy, but the food is an average waste of an appetite but, hey, the place is thriving in the absence of any real competition and a well-heeled clientele seem grateful.

The Prince, Wood Green

Some good news! The managers of The Duke's Head in Highgate have acquired the keys to The Prince and plan to open up it up in the near future on similar lines to focus on 'great beer, food and strong links to the local community'. They were attracted by the recent 'ACV status and the campaign in general which helped us immensely with deciding that the pub was worth a go'.
