Time Out says

A former school for girls is now offering an education in beer. The chapel-shaped, Victorian building is a bit of an anomaly on Tottenham’s High Road, in among the corner shops and with a glimmer of Spurs’ shiny HQ in the distance. Inside is welcoming; the pub suits the seasons – one side is light-filled and modern, while a partition separates off a dark, distressed room with a mahogany bar and vintage signs bearing old-fashioned crests. But the most important season of all is the footie kind.

If football is this pub’s first love, beer would have to be its second. A long blackboard advertises ‘house’, ‘craft’ and ‘cask’ beers. Local breweries Redemption, Pressure Drop and Beavertown are represented, but you’ll also spy Walthamstow and Bermondsey beers, plus Guinness and Heineken – there’s a refreshing absence of craft beer snobbery.

Time Out tip

Come hungry. Various food pop-ups have taken over the pub since it opened in 2018, but as of summer 2025, it belongs to Ling Lings, the Chinese-inspired kitchen residency that also bashes out one of the best Sunday roasts in London.
