Queens Head Winchmore Hill

Walk into the Queens Head and you'll immediately get why Winchmore Hill locals have made this their second living room. It's the kind of place where regulars have their spots and the bar staff remember your order, but newcomers are welcomed like old mates. The food's a step above your average pub grub — we're talking proper kitchen work here — and the drinks list suggests someone actually gives a toss about what's behind the bar. Station Road's got a good energy anyway, but this spot captures something about the neighbourhood that makes you want to linger over a pint rather than rush off.
