Upstairs At The Gatehouse

Hip Highgate pub which has regular theatre events upstairs. The pub itself is very nice with a beer garden for sitting outside (weather permitting). It also has a good range of beers and though we didn't eat there, it has a good reputation for high quality food. We went to the theatre upstairs to see a band called the Jive Aces (highly recommended). The theatre is small and probably holds about 100 people but it gives it a good buzzy feel. I enjoyed the evening (and the pub) enormously!

It was a lovely last-minute choice for Sunday Roast to finally visit The Gatehouse, as we had designs elsewhere, but all were sold out at 5pm (reasonable, obviously!) However, the offerings here exceeded our expectations, and some in our group also had haddock and chips, which was delightfully huge, very well cooked and crispy fish, with plenty of chunky chips. The chicken roast was sublime, gravy was plentiful and meaty, and the veg was as soft and crispy as each carrot, potato, and cabbage leaf should be! The servers were very busy but attentive and friendly, and my only real chagrin was the price was fairly high compared to other local offerings - but that's simply the standard of the venue, so acceptable. All in all, well worth a visit to eat, and it's actually a very popular and nicely laid out pub too!

I came here with my Mum and we had the sourdough, pear salad and triple cooked chips. Everything was really great and the service was amazing, very lovely staff working here. Highly recommend!
