Fuller's ESB or Gales HSB, Nethergate Old Growler, Skinner's Betty Stoggs plus up to 6 other beers including a mild

Back street community pub, formerly named 'Enterprise', recently modernised and re-opened after a period of closure, with a major refurbishment it is now decidedly up market from the previous offering. At Easter 2009, the real ale range was expanded with the opening of a "Whisky and ale bar", which will always look to feature one mild and a stout. All "home cooked British only" food served 17.00 - 22.00 Tues - Fri, 14.00 - 22.00 Sat and 12.00 - 19.00 for Sunday roast dinners. Also this year, the pub has introduced a member's club with a discount of 40p per pint if you join - see their web site for details. The pub has agreed to extend the offer to CAMRA members with 20p off a pint of real ale when showing your card, which will be attractive to the casual visitor. The price differential is an incentive for you to join his club and you will get regular email updates as to what is happening at the pub. Now Cask Marque accredited.

Adnams Broadside, Fuller's London Pride, Taylor's Landlord

Another part of the real ale renaissance taking place in this part of London. Although the emphasis is undeniably on food, this gastro pub has three real ales on at any one time. It is also big enough for those who just want a drink to enjoy one without feeling uncomfortable. The whole impression is one of space, helped by a large bar area and high ceilings. A range of newspapers is available and the large square tables offer broadsheet aficionados plenty of room to spread out. There is an equally large restaurant area to the rear of the pub, and an outdoor drinking/smoking space to the side. Food served Mon - Thu 18.00 - 22.30, Fri 12.00 - 15.30 (Sun 16.00) and 18.30 - 23.00 (Sun 21.30). But please note the menu says a ‘discretionary’ 12.5% service charge will be added to all bills. During the summer of 2009 underwent a large programme to restore many of the original features. Underground: Archway. Overground: Upper Holloway. Buses: 134, 390.

STAR

47 Chester Road, N19 5DF

020 7263 9067

12.00 - 23.00 (00.30 Fri/Sat but no admission after 23.00)

Brodies (actual beer can vary), Sambrook's Wandle Ale, Taylor's Landlord; Weston's Old Rosie

Formerly the Totnes Castle, the Star is reaping the rewards of reinventing itself as a gastro pub. The emphasis is not just on food though; there is an acoustic music night on Thursdays and the ‘Anything Goes’ club on the first Sunday of the month lives up to its name with everything from comedy to poetry. The growing number of pump clips behind the bar shows the pub’s commitment to a changing range of real ale – even the pub’s reading material includes the Timothy Taylor Times. Food served from 18.30 - 22.30, includes trout, pigeon and onglet steak. But don’t give any leftovers to the pub dog. Signs advise you not to feed it under any circumstances! Various bottled ciders are also available but the Addlestone's Cloudy on pump is not felt to meet CAMRA's standards on what makes real cider. Beer garden. Underground: Tufnell Park. Bus: C11.

WHITTINGTON AND CAT

89 Highgate Hill, N19 5NE

No real ale

Confrimed that the handpumps are still unused, one with a Theakston XB pump clip turned round. Has been like this for sometime. Nice pub though, quite old interior, much quieter now the new entrance to the hospital is further down the hill and the bus stop has moved.

WHITTINGTON STONE

53 Highgate Hill, N19 5NE

Fuller's London Pride

Two recent visits have found Pride on handpump, so it looks like it is now available permanantly. In the past, real ale supplies have been, at best, intermittent. Cheap and cheerful food available, mostly used by locals from the estate that it is part of (it was built in the same style and at the same time as the estate) and workers and visitors to the Whittington hospital.
