The Best Restaurants in Highgate, Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

We came here for a birthday and it was so special - we loved our evening! We had the boar ragu, swordfish, aubergine parmigiana, spinach and tiramisu, and they were all exceptional. The service was lovely and the vibe was so nice and summery. We're already planning our evening back. Thank you!

This cozy venue was a pleasure to visit. We sat near a fireplace and everyone enjoyed the experience. I had a glass of red wine, but didn’t eat anything. However, what I saw others get looked well prepared. I’ll gladly go back again.

Was wonderfully warm and cozy inside on a bitterly cold snowy night. Despite being Saturday night we were given a table without booking in advance ( only down side was the strong smell if air freshener here from the loo behind the table). Really polite and friendly table service and decent tasty food( although the kids pizza was a miss). It's layout and clientele mean even when full it's not deafeningly noisy or chaotic but just buzzy enough to feel homely with a nice atmosphere.

My first visit as people recommend this pub for Sunday roast. It was good roast, good portion and pretty vibes like hidden pub. Especially Yorkshire pudding was amazing! We didn't book in advance and we seated outside. So the service was very slow. I would recommend you to book a table and come by car.

Everything was great, in fact, when I was separated from my wife, I used to come to this pub. This wonderful story summarizes its history very well with old photographs. I hope to sit in your garden one day

By far the best pub roast we’ve had in a long time. Almost as good as home cooking . Great quality produce and flavours , generous portions and served nice and hot as it should be . Fantastic service and atmosphere too . Thanks for making our Sunday !

Hip Highgate pub which has regular theatre events upstairs. The pub itself is very nice with a beer garden for sitting outside (weather permitting). It also has a good range of beers and though we didn't eat there, it has a good reputation for high quality food. We went to the theatre upstairs to see a band called the Jive Aces (highly recommended). The theatre is small and probably holds about 100 people but it gives it a good buzzy feel. I enjoyed the evening (and the pub) enormously!

It was a lovely last-minute choice for Sunday Roast to finally visit The Gatehouse, as we had designs elsewhere, but all were sold out at 5pm (reasonable, obviously!) However, the offerings here exceeded our expectations, and some in our group also had haddock and chips, which was delightfully huge, very well cooked and crispy fish, with plenty of chunky chips. The chicken roast was sublime, gravy was plentiful and meaty, and the veg was as soft and crispy as each carrot, potato, and cabbage leaf should be! The servers were very busy but attentive and friendly, and my only real chagrin was the price was fairly high compared to other local offerings - but that's simply the standard of the venue, so acceptable. All in all, well worth a visit to eat, and it's actually a very popular and nicely laid out pub too!
