  “Saturday lunch at The Maynard, we were 3 generations and each with specific palates which were well catered for here; a vegetarian, a vegan and no bread! We thoroughly enjoyed our burgers although no bun for me I thought chef could have put my burger on lettuce? Staff were gorgeous and made our lunch even better with their warmth, helpfulness and professionalism. Recommend and will be back, thank you!”

  “Went for a quick early evening drink outside in the garden. Passing back through the pub and saw a couple with a large white dog who was sitting on a chair with its front paws on the table. Spoke to staff to ask what they were going to do, they thought it was funny. Pointed out I won't be eating there as that is so unhygienic. Still no response from staff. There's a big difference between being dog friendly and being insanitary.”

  “So sad to write this poor review but just had the most disappointing experience here in my 15 years of coming. We came into a pretty vibey atmosphere without a booking and were told that we wouldn’t be able to order food for at least 20 mins because they had a party out back. When we did order, the food was pretty quick but the quality was just poor I’m sorry to say. The fish n chips was one of the worst I’ve had in a long time - the fish was overly seasoned & had a weird ‘batter’ that can only be described as a weird dark brown sock. Not crispy, not light, just sad. I’ve had so many good experiences at the Maynard & the food has been really excellent at times but I’m sorry to say that despite living just round the corner I won’t be back for food.”

  “Really nice beer garden, very spacious inside too... The double cheeseburger is banging! With triple smoked bacon.... 🤤 Been for the quiz before, fun but not easy! Good local spot 👍”

  “Pity. We heard this was THE place for a Sunday roast, so you would have thought that just after 7pm there would be a good selection, unfortunately they had sold out of half of what was on the menu. The ham roast was both hot and cold. There are other gastro pubs I would recommend before the Maynard. The wines and beers are good but also v expensive. £95 for two ( 2 x beer ,1x glass wine) for a below average meal doesn't make me think of returning.”

  “🚇 Hornsey 🍺 £6.75 Estrella Galicia This pub is located just up the road from the Clock Tower in Crouch End, North London. The nearest station is Hornsey. The Maynard Arms was built by developers Joshua Alexander and William Bradshaw in 1851. The Maynard name comes from Stephen Maynard of Islington who was Lord of the Manor of Topsfield in 1356. This large, modern Gastropub has quite the contemporary feel. Upon entering, the servery is on the right, illuminated by industrial pendants. The spacious main bar area wraps around the servery, with a corner banquette to the right and an elevated section to the left. Further inside, there is a dining area with varied seating. The decor includes boarded floors, mixed painted and exposed brick walls, black and white prints, and ample seating. A good-sized beer garden with pergolas is at the rear, and a few benches at the front offer street views. The beer selection was impressive, boasting a good mix of premium and local beers, along with three cask ales. I opted for an Estrella Galicia, my pint hit the spot; price point was as expected. The food menu features classic British pub fare, offering both comfort food options and slightly more elevated dishes. Fish & Chips costs £18, and roasts are available on Sundays. We arrived just after 3pm on a sunny Saturday afternoon in August. The pub was quiet inside, as the majority of punters were outside enjoying the summer sun. There was a upbeat buzz in the beer garden and a chilled, laid-back atmosphere around the bar inside. The service was pleasant; the team on duty were welcoming and courteous. Sometimes walking into a gastropub can feel a bit intimidating when all you want is a pint, and every table is set with a full array of cutlery – but not here. We enjoyed our visit to @themaynardarms; the pub has a nice local feel, and the environment was comfortable. The beer selection will please a wide range of tastes, and you're in the right place if you're after some decent grub. This pub is worth checking out if you're in the area. 📅 17th August 2024 More London pub info on socials @londonpubmap 🍻”

  “What a gem of a pub! We snagged a delightful corner outside, which felt like a secret garden thanks to the lush plants and central trees. It's covered, providing shade and an airy, bright ambiance, and even has an outdoor TV. A major bonus is that the pub is dog-friendly throughout, making it perfect for owners and their furry companions. I particularly appreciated the adjustable tables—no wobbling on the uneven floor! For food, my friend raved about the large and tasty fish and chips, while my crab pasta hit the spot. If you're planning to work remotely, be aware that electrical outlets outside are scarce.”

  “We were seated at the outdoor patios, and the atmosphere was cozy. The food was great and high quality, and the drinks were really nice. I especially enjoyed the gnocchi and fresh bread.”
