The Kings Head in Wood Green

We came for the comedy night last week and had an amazing night. The atmosphere when we walked in was great, enough tables and even for those standing it didn’t feel cramped. The service of the bar staff was quick and friendly at all points during the evening. The comedy room itself is intimate and homely making it great for couples or groups depending on preference of involvement. Loved our evening here!

We hired Downstairs @The Kings Head for a birthday party - and it was phenomenal. The staff - special thanks to Morgan, Koti and Teri - were great. Ever helpful and friendly, they made both the planning and the night itself easy and stress-free. Fantastic venue - we had the coolest party in town!

One of my favourite local pubs. I can’t stress enough how fantastic the food is here. The prices are reasonable and overall the pub has a very relaxed and unpretentious vibe. The burgers, fried chicken and pies are all great, but so are their changing specials. The hake was some of the best fish I’ve had in any restaurant in a long time. Even better than Lyons round the corner. I enjoy it so much we ended up booking for Christmas Day - something I’ve never done. The Christmas meal was lovely and the staff were excellent as always. To top it off, the jazz downstairs every Sunday afternoon is a jewel and a much needed tradition. I find myself popping in fairly often for lunch in the week now. I find the other pubs in Crouch End a lot busier, more expensive and fussy, but I honestly think The Kings Head is slept on. People don’t know what they’re missing.

🚇 Hornsey 🍺 £6.10 Pravha The Kings Head is located on the corner of a parade of shops in the heart of Crouch End. The nearest station is Hornsey, it’s a fifteen minute walk to get here. There has been a pub in on this site since 1662. In the 19th century the pub was informally known as “The Yard of Pork”. Prior to 1812 the pub was called The White Hart. The majestic turreted pub you see today was built for Taylor Walker in 1892. In the basement of The Kings Head is the home to one of the oldest comedy clubs in Britain. “Downstairs at the Kings Head” was founded in 1981, comedians like Alexei Sayle, Lee Mack, Ed Byrne, Rob Beckett and Jimmy Carr have all graced the stage here. This is a stylish one bar pub with a contemporary feel. The servery is located on the left hand side and has modern lighting above the counter. On one wall is a decorative collage of music, TV and film stars, on another is a collection of photos of comedians who have performed here. There is plenty seating throughout with traditional tables and chairs, curved banquettes and a couple of sofas. At the back of the bar is the stairs down to the basement Comedy Club. The beer line up will please most with a selection of cask, London craft and mainstream beers to choose from. I decided on a pint of Pravha, my pint was great, price point was average. There is a classic pub grub menu available, Fish & Chips costs £17. We arrived around 1.30pm on a Sunny Saturday lunchtime in August. The pub was fairly quiet with a few locals and a couple with their pooch in attendance. The atmosphere was very relaxed and it was easy to settle in. The service was ok, the welcome was pleasant enough. As well as hosting comedy nights there is also Jazz on a Sunday and a weekly quiz. Lots of history and celebrity is associated with @thekingsheadn8 . Our visit was good, I loved the architecture of this imposing pub and especially the portrait of Bill Murray. Our beers were on point and not overly priced, the vibe laidback and relaxed. This pub is worth a look if you’re in the area. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 17.08.24
