The Tally Ho in Finchley

Oh, let me tell you about The Tally Ho – it's one of those pubs that really grows on you if you're in the area for a casual get-together. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the food is where it shines brightest; a few folks raved about the Indian menu, saying the tandoori wings and lamb chops were absolute winners, full of juicy, perfectly spiced goodness that left them wanting more. The garden is another plus, especially on a sunny day, giving you that perfect outdoor escape to enjoy a pint or two. And the staff? Well, when they're on form, they're warm and attentive, making the whole experience feel like catching up with old mates. But, and I have to be straight here, it's not all smooth sailing – some have had a tough time with slow service because they're stretched thin, and there were grumbles about small portions or dishes that didn't quite deliver on taste. Then there's the odd drink that falls flat, like a cocktail that was more fizzy water than proper spirits. All things considered, with a solid 4.0 rating, it's still a place I'd recommend for a laid-back evening, just maybe keep expectations in check for those busier nights.
