The Shaftesbury Tavern is a local gem. It’s a proper boozer with traditional sentiments and an emphasis placed upon the heritage of the pub and the area it serves. A friendly, relaxed space with really great beer and a considered food offering.
We couldn’t decide between traditional pub grub and our favourite world cuisine. So we threw caution to the wind and opened up our Sabai Thai kitchen that also serves those British classics we can’t get enough of. Whether you’re a beer battered cod with hand cut chips type, or a pad kaprao with jasmine rice sort, we’ve got it down. Our bento style Thai Lunch Boxes, served Monday to Friday, have been a massive hit, as are our Curry and a pint Monday’s and our traditional Sunday Roasts.
Our selection of beer is carefully picked by our bar team and features an impressive rotating lineup that has included the likes of Little Creatures, Beavertown and Five Points Brewery. Furthermore, we take great care to store and serve it properly and with a big, warm smile. Our obsession with serving the perfect pint is borderline obsessive. We won the CAMRA North London Pub of the Season Summer 2015 and this year have been entered into the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Told you we’re good, modest too. But it doesn’t stop there, we can recommend brilliant white wines and full bodied reds or mix you one of the best vodka tonic’s you’ve ever had.
Amazing local for a pint and food. Excellent pad Thai, green curry, and roast!
Nice atmosphere, loved the old fashioned decor but the bar staff were so unfriendly. My mum was making a joke with the person serving us and he completely ignored her and started having a joke with his colleague instead, as if we were not there. No acknowledgement for leaving either like a “thank you, goodnight”. Shocking customer service, did not feel welcome there at all.
Love this Free House (as opposed to public house, or pub). The food is delicious and had a Thai bent to it with good veggie options. Great atmosphere, too!
Great beer but the Sunday roast is terribly disappointing. Chewy, grizzly, dry (overcooked) beef, undercooked swede mash that was over seasoned and roast potatoes that resembled something more like a baked potato. All for 15.50. Don’t bother. Instead, come during the week for the Thai.
Have always longed for roast lamb with mint sauce and today finally got to eat at this lovely pub. Dad and mi youngest son had the roast beef, which mi son surprisingly ate more than 3/4 of his plate. He's normally a burger/pizza and for him to eat that much means he enjoyed the roast, while his brother ate the nut roast. The highlight is the musician playing all fav tunes on the piano which gives one the feeling of actually being at home with family. Staff are very friendly. Definitely recommend.
