The Fishmongers Arms, Southgate

I used to come into the pub when a young family owned it, I thought it was a good pub, good food and good conversation. The publicans son was really sweet :-)
Recently, I went in with a couple of girl friends and I was applauded at how filthy the pub was, there was men collected around the main entrance smoking; It was intimating and horrible to walk into. The language and the type of conversation in the pub was filth and made me and my friends feel awkward and we actually found it creepy. The head bar man or manager ?? I am guessing he is about 55, short and grey hair ran around after barmaid that were young enough to be his children.
The toilets looked like they hadn't been cleaned since the pub was built and the food is grey bland and uninspiring. The food took half an hour to come out, but the pub was practically empty apart from the letchy old men around the pool table.
If you are looking for a pub in Southgate I would recommend the White Hart. At least its clean!
