The Woodbine - (Near Islington, london)

serena f Absolutely love Everyman Cinema Barnet. The seats are incredibly comfy (with the option of single arm chairs or a 2 peraon sofa), the whole place is clean and well looked after, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. The food and drink selection is great and really tasty which makes the whole experience feel special. Huge bonus that there’s a big free car park too. Highly recommend!

Yosmary Pestana I’ve spent a lot of time at Gail’s in High Barnet during my maternity leave. As a new mum, finding places that genuinely feel welcoming and practical can be surprisingly difficult, but Gail’s really stands out on the high street. It’s one of the few coffee shops locally with accessible bathroom facilities for mums with babies, including a proper baby changing facility. That alone makes such a difference. Every time I come in with the buggy, the team are kind and helpful. They often open the door for me when they can and have never once made me feel awkward or uncomfortable about bringing the pram inside. Sadly, that hasn’t been my experience everywhere on the high street. Some places make you feel like arriving with a baby and buggy is an inconvenience, almost as though you are a liability rather than a paying customer. Gail’s is the complete opposite. The team are warm, welcoming and understanding, which means so much during those early months when even leaving the house can feel like an achievement. On top of that, the food and coffee are consistently great, and the café is always clean and comfortable. It has been a lovely and reliable place to spend time, meet other mums, or simply enjoy a quiet coffee. Well done to the team at Gail’s High Barnet. You have created a space that genuinely welcomes mums and babies, and it does not go unnoticed.

MK Yang Staff very friendly, chicken, chips and burger all delicious and tender. Would recommend bbq wings and peri peri chips for extra flavour. Very good for meeting with your friends.

Ertan Gul Run by an elderly couple this chippy has been around for 26 years and is a staple of Blackstock Road. Foods never dropped in quality and they make sure to always be open. The owner keeps his doors open not for business but for passion and to keep himself busy. Everyone should go in to support and have a chat.

Kathryn Sedgwick Fantastic, authentic Italian food, with the Ragu as the stand out dish. Friendly staff and a charming interior. Highley recommend.
