The Mary Beale Restaurant - (Near Barnet, South East)

Paul Pandek Food was excellent, fresh and full of flavour. The fried chicken was crispy and well cooked. Service was good and the place had a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Overall a very enjoyable visit and definitely worth coming back.

Dalila Abd Rahman A friend recommended this place. The food is amazing. Simple healthy menu yet so flavourful and satisfying! Small, quaint cafe and family friendly. They have a selection of toys to keep my toddler busy. A little pricey compared to surrounding cafes but well worth it. Would definitely come again.

Maria Alejandra Hernandez It is my first time visiting this lovely restaurant. My friend had said wonders about it, specially about their grilled octopus, I have to say I’m super impressed! The food was delicious, the service absolutely magnificent, and the restaurant super clean and lovely. We even had a complementary drink from the owner. Super super pleased!

Graham Burke We had an exceptional evening at the Prince of Wales in East Barnet Village. We visited to take advantage of the 50% off mains January deal, but the quality was so high we would have happily paid full price. The service here is world class. We met Rory, the manager, who was outstanding. His passion for the food is infectious; he explained the prep and sourcing of the dishes so well it made our mouths water before we even ordered! Our waiter (whose name we missed) was equally professional and friendly - the whole team is clearly focused on making sure you leave happy. The food is "art on a plate" stunningly presented, hot, and delicious. We shared the crab starter, which was fresh and beautifully plated. For mains, the Pheasant Supreme and Chicken Ballotine were both flavourful and perfectly cooked. We finished with the Baked Alaska, which they set on fire at the table! The portions were huge, even when shared. Rory’s description of the Sunday Roast prep has already convinced us to book a return visit. Highly recommended!

Favour Godwin It was my first time visiting the restaurant, we went on a Sunday around 1.30pm. We were there for brunch and was served by Pedo, he was great and made sure our experience was enjoyable. The food selection in the menu is great, the price is affordable, the portion sizes are really good. The food is fresh and came out hot. Everyone was pleased with what they got. Overall it was a good experience, because of the time we went we made reservations as it gets very busy around lunch time, however they try their best to accept walk-ins. The only area to improve on would be their online booking system and contact. The number on the webpage at the time of me attending the restaurant didn’t work (13.04.25) I was not sent a confirmation for my booking and there was no way of me amending my booking so I had to make several bookings when my circumstances changed. If there was a smoother online booking system that would be perfect. But I’d still give them a 5* rating as that didn’t take away from the experience. The restaurant is great for casual dining. We had a great time and will definitely be back. I’d gladly recommend this place to any and everyone.

Jason Tye Really nice food, fresh and delicious. I particularly enjoy their selection of beef and chicken burgers. Their kebabs are very nice as well. Excellent service from the staff. So glad to be a loyal customer to this place! Keep up the excellent work!
