Five Bells Pub in Finchley

About This Pub

Ah, the Five Bells – it's one of those pubs that just gets it right, you know? Tucked away in Finchley, it's got this warm, inviting feel where the staff go out of their way to make you comfortable, and the food is spot on without costing a fortune. I love how they've got all the sports action sorted, whether it's the Women's Euros or rugby tours, so if you're into that, it's a proper gem. The portions are generous, and things like the chicken wings or roasts come highly recommended from what I've heard from folks who've been. It's family-oriented too, with plenty of amenities like disabled access and even EV charging, which is a nice touch these days. On the flip side, it might not always be buzzing – some evenings can be a bit subdued, especially if the weather's rubbish, and the menu's solid but doesn't exactly wow with innovation. All in all, though, it's a reliable choice for a good night out, where you can enjoy decent food, a pint, and good company without any fuss.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
Food's a real highlight – think tasty options like chicken wings and Sunday roasts that offer great value for money without skimping on portion sizes.
It's got a brilliant atmosphere, cosy in winter and with lovely outdoor space for summer days, perfect for catching up with mates.
Family-friendly vibe means it's a top spot if you're out with the little ones, and they've got loads of facilities like EV charging and a car park to make things easy.
Sports fans will love it – with Sky Sports, TNT Sports, and events like the Women's Euros, it's a cracking place to watch the action.

Cons

It can sometimes be a bit quiet, especially on off-peak nights or when the weather's playing up, which might not suit those after a lively buzz.
While the food and drinks are reasonably priced, the menu might feel a tad standard for a pub, without anything too out-of-the-ordinary to surprise you.

A very beautiful pub with Excellent choice of food!! The staff are welcoming and friendly. It's a usual spot during summer time and the atmosphere is impeccable. Love their chicken wings and it has quite large portion. Food and liquor prices are very reasonable.

Great valute for money. Friend and family atmosphere. Roast or mix grills are ok. Good value for money. I’ve discovered a new pale ale (new to me)… highly recommended Old Speckled Hen. Cosy in winter and great outside space for the summer. If you drive electric there’s a big changing station in the car park

Quiet for a Saturday night but that's not a bad thing. Bad weather probably had an impact. Polite and helpful staff. Booked a table but probably didn't need to bother, but it did mean we got a great seat for the football. Nice food, good service and very reasonable prices. We would certainly come again and my daughter was pleased with the vegetarian options

I am a big fun of this pub. Foods are really tasty and the prices are reasonable. The staff are kind and our children also enjoyed their food and atmosphere.

First time coming here today, and I was recommended to this pub by a friend. We had a Sunday roast dinner (beef & turkey), which is very good value for money. We will come here again and try the grill menu next time. Great service from the bar staff to the food coming to the table, so overall, a well earned 5 star 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 review. Thanks. PS. Was busy there today, which is good, and they have loads of TV screens inside to watch the football ⚽️ on.
