The Flask, Highgate

Wet autumnal Sunday and a stiff climb up Fitzroy Park from the Heath, a near perfect resting post. Well kept Fuller’s and guest ales, they’ve even started doing bar snacks again for those not wanting a £25 roast dinner. Okay it’s well posh and a bit unfriendly, but that’s posh people for you! #11 #28

Lovely pub in Highgate, beware to make reservations because it can get very busy! However the customer service is very good and they'll always try to accommodate you. We went on a rainy Saturday afternoon and it was very packed inside, but they had a lovely covered outdoors area. Good selection of beverages and food. Will be back!

Me and two friends came for a Sunday roast at the flask who kindly took us upon a walk in. JJ and Louis took extremely good care of us ensuring we had everything we needed to take care of a member of the group who was experiencing a roast at an English pub for the first time:). Both boys were extremely kind and accompanying, ensuring the warm and charismatic atmosphere. Roast potatoes were gorgeous and plentiful also:) 10/10 would come again

You'll pay a premium for eating/drinking here, but if the alternative is losing glorious pubs like this and all their history, I'm happy to pay it. Beautiful big garden for warmer weather, and lots of nooks and crannies inside for when it's colder. It's a Fullers pub, so not the greatest selection of beers, but still good!

Managed to get a table on a bank holiday and the process of booking was painless through their website. There is the normal 5 pound fee that will be charged for no shows. Easy to get to from the Highgate station but fortunately a short walk for us as we live near by. The setting inside is very cosy, we were lucky to have a table next to the fireplace. It is also a surprisingly large pub. Service was good, just a little slow, the waiter did tell us they were under staffed so that considered it was not a bad experience. They were friendly and tentative. The food was fresh, well presented and tasty. I started with the chicken liver pate and it was one of the best I've had. The Crab on toast also looked delicious. The mains was the Beef blade that was very tender. At our table was the Mac and cheese, Rib eye and fish and chips as well. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Prices were inline with other pubs and acceptable. Look to spend at least 50 pounds a head. Other than wait times and limited gluten free options on the menu it was an overall great experience. We will return for sure.
