We had a really nice time at this local pub, really friendly and accommodating staff, cosy atmosphere, suitable for small children. We had a prebooked meal and the reason I have not rated them as highly as I could have is because they ran out of some of our orders and we had to wait quite a while before we could eat which we thought was strange as we pre-ordered the food. As I said though the staff were lovely and really saved the day with their top level service.
I have some personal experience issues as well, they started a pub quiz before we had finished eating which was quite jarring, there is kind of a separate dining area but we also had a small two person table right next to me on the far end where two people were drunkenly talking really loudly about football, it was a bit of a sensory overload and I felt quite drained by the time we left.
Overall it was a nice experience, food was well prepared, traditional pub food, the staff were friendly and helpful and I would recommend it for food or just drinks.

Roast dinner was rubbish. Given 2 very small roast potatoes cut in half that wouldn?t fill a small child up , these were rock hard from being reheated. Really disappointed after reading good reviews

Unfortunately the Sunday roast lamb was absolutely disgraceful and not to the standard that has been with the public house.
The service and customer care was as usual perfect.
Would not recommend her for Sunday dinner.

I don't go out to eat normally but decided I'd treat my friend to a Sunday roast as walking distance from where I live. Waitress was friendly and recommended a drink for my friend which she enjoyed. As for the food is was not great. I had Roast beef (only 1 slice - a bit stingey!), my Yorkshire pudding looked like someone had stuck a pin in it and roast potatoes overcooked and hard to cut. My friend had ultimate roast. Her beef was rare but very fatty, the smallest bit of broccoli possible and hard potatoes. Her pork was ok. My friend had a pudding (not enough custard). I had mini dessert and coffee. Barely a scoop of ice cream and asked for Cappuccino got Latte. Didn't realise until after I pointed out a few of the problems when I paid . No offer of reduction in bill. The waitress said you should have said when I asked. We had barely taken a mouthful at that point. I put a couple of comments on feedback from but was not enough room. I hate complaining but it was more in order to rectify for future . £55 for 2. I gave a 10% tip on top. Not sure why! Not too bad price if food was better

I met a good friend and arrange to meet On Wednesday afternoon.
The staff were brilliant couldn't do enough especially the manager, who looked after me as I was on crutches.
The lunch for my son's hit the spot and then in the evening then dinner was excellent whilst listening to the quiz night.
Thank you

We used to live in Potters Bar and was always our favourite. Popped in tonight and the welcome from Suzy and Katie was first class. Now there is more of a vibe with lights dimmed and a great sound track it?s much better. Was always a little too ?regular? focused before. Whatever you guys are doing keep it this way.

Super pub. Visited at a quiet time on a weekday lunchtime with a large family group. Service was leisurely but that suited us. Extensive menu. Reasonable prices. Nice food. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. Nice and quiet so easy to chat round a large table. Spacious carpark including a disabled spot. Backstreet location. Felt like being in the countryside. Nothing to dislike at all in fact. Heartily recommend! We will be back.

We were at the Builders Arms for a wake yesterday and would like to thank Kerry for being so thoughtful and sensitive throughout the day. She was super organised and her and her team helped make the day a great success. Thank you.
