Good cask selection and friendly staff. And a top pub quiz on Thursdays. Now under new ownership so will be waiting to see what changes...

Roast beef very fatty with loads of chewing,veg a tad overcooked IE blackened cabbage,sent back greasy Squid absolutely dripping in oil with a hidden piece of squid inside still charged on bill.myself the roast chicken was tops as was my vegan guest with her dish , overall from a party of 8 the vote was 6.5 out of 10 . service 10 out of ten , ambiance 10 out of 10 tis a great shame that the food let it all down, myself and my family live within 10 minutes walk to you (new in the Area)

I love this pub, regularly come for a drink and lovely atmosphere. My only qualm is never come here on a Sunday afternoon- this pub is no better than a crèche. The Crouch End Elite come here with their noisy children and let them run wild around the tables, and unfortunately the staff do nothing to stop them. It?s noisy and screechy and deeply unpleasant. What a shame!

Came here for a lovely Sunday roast and was lucky enough to have the last beef roast of the day. Was delicious!
The staff were amazing, so friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back.

Only came here briefly at the end of the night but it was very spacious and the drinks were great! I?m not sure what it would have been like if it had been full; very busy and loud, I imagine!

Great pub for the footy
Just wished they had a few more comfortable chairs in the big screen section

The food was ok and the vibe wasn't really welcoming with my wings having an excessive amount of sauce but its not all that bad

Fish and chips was excellent! I have had some dry fish in London but this was not one of them. However we ate bit in a hurry as we were only told after ordering that kids under 18 are only allowed until 7pm.

We watched three of the England games at the Euros here, and tried to watch a fourth (the QF) but they'd closed half the pub off for a private event - fair enough I guess if they've got a lucrative booking, but seemed like a shame on such a significant day, and left us scrambling to find somewhere else!
The atmosphere for big games is great, they have a good beer selection and the staff are friendly. We did encounter a few issues though, including booking a table for the semi-final then arriving to find that it had been 'lost in the system' somehow (have seen other reviews complaining about the same thing).
I also think they need to do something about the pressue on their beer taps - there were ridiculous waiting times at the bar on the night of the final because the taps were pouring so slowly, I swear they could have sold twice as much beer that night if they'd sorted it!

Memories are made of this.
We had a tribal gathering where Isobel and I saw not just our great grandson for the first time, but granddaughters we had not seen in years. This celebration of all the generations was made perfect by the kindness and care that Jo, Phil and their team lavished on us.
The food was wonderful, as ever. And the room they prepared so that all of us could sit around the same table made it very special indeed.
If you?re planning a festive board, then the Stapleton Arms is the place to go.

We booked to watch the Euros and received a booking confirmation email.
We asked to amend it but received a response saying all customers needed to be in by 6:30pm as it's going to be busy.
However on arrival it turned out this wasn't true as there were tables booked for later than I'd booked.
There also wasn't a table for us and clearly whoever works in the office had continued to take bookings even when there weren't tables available.
Obviously they were safe in the office or probably left for the day, whilst the bar staff had to deal with the fall out of this.
The bar staff said management had also taken bookings for standing space but not told customers it was a standing booking?!
The two women behind the bar who I spoke to were unbelievably accommodating and managed to find a table and some chairs from other tables to ensure we weren't left without a booking.
The one good thing about being told to turn up early was that this could be rectified as if I got there any later, I would have been left standing and it was incredibly busy.
I felt sorry for them having to deal with management clearly overbooking and having zero empathy for their staff who had to deal with many angry customers who were in the same position as me.
I'd visited here for a roast before and had really high praise for this place, however it's now been marred by seemingly greedy management.
Well done to the bar staff but please be wary when booking tables for the football here.
