The Gate - (Near Barnet, london)

Ladan Hashemi Today was my first order and we just loved the kebab, saffron rice, and salad. Each portion was large enough for two adults. Will surely recommend.

Amanda Spratley-Playle Brilliant pub, super friendly and knowledgeable staff, lovely atmosphere. Feels like stepping into the traditional pub you want to step into, bursting with character. Oh and the drinks were good too! We had two yummy sausage rolls & several pints. Thoroughly 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.

Tazz Very good clean food. Opened 4 months ago and can say I am impressed, the salad with the chicken was a nice touch Got The full grilled chicken and grilled chicken burger Lot of nice flavours, and the chips were great . Regular customer from now on. Only downside which I wouldn’t blame restruant for was it came cold. Driver maybe didn’t have an insulated bag. Ordered via just eat

Zeynep YURTSEV I visited Mamfifi twice in the last week, and it has officially become one of my favourite restaurants. On my first visit, I had the lamb shank, it was perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and full of rich flavour. The second time, I tried the lamb roast, and it was just as impressive. Both dishes were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. And I must mention the ‘kabak tatlısı’ such a lovely way to finish the meal. Light, sweet, and perfectly balanced. The service is excellent. The waitress who served us yesterday (an Italian lady, I’m ashamed I can’t remember her name!) was so friendly, warm, and accommodating. She truly made the experience even better. Great location, delicious menu, wonderful atmosphere. 100% recommended. I already know I’ll be going back again very soon.

shel Red The three-course Christmas meal was absolutely delicious and beautifully thought out from start to finish. The starter of portobello mushroom was rich, hearty, and perfectly cooked, offering deep, earthy flavours that set the tone for the rest of the meal. The main course, turkey, was wonderfully tender and full of traditional festive flavour. It was cooked to perfection, juicy and satisfying, and paired brilliantly with the accompanying elements to create a comforting and classic Christmas experience. To finish, the apple and strawberry crumble was a real highlight. The fruit was sweet and gently tangy, balanced perfectly by a golden, crumbly topping that added just the right amount of texture. It was a delightful and indulgent end to a fantastic meal. Overall, this three-course Christmas dinner was comforting, flavoursome, and thoughtfully prepared — a truly enjoyable festive treat that left everyone feeling content and well cared for.
