Moon Under Water, Enfield

The service is good and the recent three week beer festival provided some excellent ales. The regular brand choices such as various Nethergates will keep people visiting too. All year round their ales are very well kept so the staff/management score many brownie points for that. A big difference from pubs that offer the bog-standard GK IPA but have absolutely no idea how to keep it, why they should or even what it is!

However, as usual there's a subjective downside. In early 2009 I visited on a Friday night which appeared to be reserved for youthful brightly-coloured blingers who seem eager to enjoy extremely close relationships with strangers. Reports from other visitors since then indicate that's still the case on Friday nights.

I don't really feel like I'm in a pub and therefore can't consider it a 'local' in the traditional sense - but it's an okay place to be most evenings and Saturday nights... but, would I use it if there were no ale pumps? Sorry, no - I'm a beer snob. The ales are my only reason to go there.

The Kings Head, Enfield

Yep, service is great and and a far better Town venue than the competition.
Maybe it's my age, I'll have to get used to the accoustics. I hope the third ale pump will be used for seasonal offerings. Where's the dartboard?? :-)

Several of my comments about the KH appear to have been removed and I can guess why, but heyho life's way too short and I'm still going to give the new Kings Head an 8 rating.

I did have a comment to make about this place, but I want to live...
