A revived Highgate pub with an upstairs dining room serving creative, chef-led British plates and standout Sunday roasts; excellent food and warm service with prices that reflect ambition more than pub basics.
The Crown exemplifies grade A standards through exceptional food quality anchored by chef-led roasts and seasonal small plates that elevate beyond typical pub fare. Strong service attentiveness and a thoughtfully designed upstairs dining room with open kitchen visibility create a compelling neighborhood destination. Minor Sunday service variability and gastropub-level pricing prevent a higher grade, but consistent execution and loyal following position this among the region's finest casual dining establishments.
One caveat: A few Sunday visits reported small chicken portions and tough potatoes during peak service
