The Fountain

Walk down Southgate and you'll find The Fountain doing what it does best: being exactly what a neighbourhood pub should be. It's got that lived-in feel where regulars prop up the bar and newcomers feel welcome immediately. The food is straightforward and decent—nothing trying too hard, just well-executed classics that pair nicely with their drinks selection. It's the sort of place where you might pop in for a quick pint and end up staying for dinner, or settle in for a long lunch without anyone making you feel rushed.
