Even older than my mum and the toilets are posh,theres a horse by the snug ! Don't ask just know it's a great pub

Oldest Pub in Barnet. I like the atmosphere here. Good selection of beers too.

Easily walked by, this cute little grade 2 listed pub is likely Barnet’s oldest coaching inns. Although gas rather than a real log fire, the fire is realistic and a welcoming warmth out of the cold. A little like sitting in one’s one home, but with a tartan carpet and a silent knight to look over you from the hallway. It was quiet when we visited during office hours. The covered beer yard out back, shelters tired ears and souls from the sounds of the busy road out front. The staff is friendly and were welcoming to a teddy bear!

Lived in Barnet for many years and have always walked past this place but never been in. For some reason I always thought it was (no offence to old men as I am one) an 'old man's pub'. I was delighted to be wrong. Warm and welcoming with a gorgeous interior with varied seating areas either in the bar, out the back or in the large garden at the rear. Really good selection of ales (had one of the Christmas specials which didn't disappoint) and they even sell gourmet pet food for your four legged friend. Think it's also CAMRA officiated. So with friendly service, great drinks, homely furnishings and pet friendly definitely one to recommend. I will certainly be back!

Extremely atmospheric pub indeed especially with the Halloween 👻 decorative theme. The staff are very friendly and helpful when choosing a drink to have. I chose a pint of Abbott Ale🍺

Tried to go for dinner here with my parents, husband and 2-month-old baby on Saturday evening. My husband arrived first and ordered a drink before we arrived. The pub wasn't busy - we were the only customers inside and there were a couple of groups outside. Our baby was being quiet. We weren't planning to stay as they had stopped serving food (it was 8:20pm) but as my husband was only halfway through his pint, my parents and I ordered drinks while we waited for him to finish. After we had paid, one of the bar staff said unfortunately the pub has a policy of no under-18s after 7pm and they hadn't noticed the baby when we walked in. We agreed that we would finish our drinks then leave. A couple of minutes later another staff member came over to have the same conversation with us, even though she was aware this conversation had already happened. This seemed unnecessary and we reiterated firmly that we were going to finish our drinks which we had already paid for, then leave. We also observed that the pub's policy was discriminatory against me as a breastfeeding mother, as my newborn baby needs to be with me so effectively their policy bars me after 7pm. The staff member said she didn't make the rules and had just been instructed to speak to us by her manager. A few minutes later the manager came and said he heard there had been a conflict. We had the same conversation with him and he confirmed it was fine for us to finish our drinks then leave but he remarked that there was a sign on the door advising of the no-under-18s-after-7pm policy. We checked this as we left and couldn't find any such sign. The policy itself is unpleasant and possibly illegal but the way the staff handled this was appalling. As they had only told us we couldn't be there after we had paid for our drinks, they should have either offered us a refund or just let us peacefully finish our drinks then leave, rather than making our time there so uncomfortable.

Went for a quick drink on boxing day. Great selection of drinks for all tastes. My beer geek partner was impressed by the selection of cask ales. The building is steeped in history and extremely cosy. I have never been in the summer,but beer garden looks fab. Lots of greenery and shade.

Excellent choice of beers. Their bar food is very good and delicious 👍

It's been quite a while since I've been here but it was a lovely atmosphere with great drinks!

Great local pub for anyone looking for a good old fashioned genuine pub to wile away a few hours in a pleasant fashion. They always have a good and interesting range of ales on tap, changing regularly and all well-cellared. I didn't eat but from what I saw, food is standard pub fare, decently portioned and done well. Cheers, Ye Olde Mitre Inne.

Best nachos I’ve had for a very long time and good beers, always a good vibe and perfect environment overall.

Excellent proper pub! Friendly team, good atmosphere, lovely beer. And I'm visiting from South London. 28 Nov 18 dropped to 4 stars. Still good, though some empty pumps i.e. less choice and I think maybe under new management. Fingers crossed 🍺 Visited recently (June 23) and would recommend Ye Olde Mitre and definitely back up to 5 stars! A good range of ales, friendly bar team and sheltered outside seating area. Lovely sunny afternoon spent here. Thank you.

Really nice building but didn't feel at all welcome. My wife got dirty looks for breastfeeding our 4 month old and the bar staff made it clear we had to leave by 7 because of the baby - a shame but we won't be going back

Best pub in Barnet! Great beer - good options and well kept. Friendly staff. Atmospheric bars. Large outdoor seating area. Live music a couple of times a month too.

Absolutely lovely, historic pub and the pride of Barnet. Draught Tim Taylor Landlord and GK Abbot were on beautiful form tonight. Delicious food and friendly, welcoming staff. I asked my son where he wanted to eat for his birthday and he said: “Old Mitre”. They kindly gave him a free dessert! Top place

Very pleased that The Mitre hasn’t changed since Greene King took over. If anything it’s improved. Great beer choice and the food is better. The biggest relief is no changes to the interior. I have visited this pub for over 30 years and the history of it has always been a big motivator. Long may it continue in an age where still many pubs are closing

Superb pub in Barnet. Good selection of ales and beers. Staff are always nice. It’s really cosy for the winter with its low ceilings, traditional bar and fireplace near the front. It extends out like the tardis way in to the back so there’s plenty of space and also a very large garden too.

Fab selection of beers. Wonderful service. Classic interiors and Nice beer garden.

Absolutely lovely pub Very friendly and welcoming. The staff are great. The manager is well above average. Professional and recommended. I will definitely recommend it and make it my regular. Best pub I’ve been to in years. XXX Tim

Good pub, good bar staff, just do ya all a favour and employ more kitchen staff! This would make you a top destination.

Great pub, good atmosphere and excellent selection of beers

Great pub! Lovely outside garden, friendly and helpful staff! Lenny created such a great atmosphere! Thankyou for making our evening more enjoyable!

Rude staff, no explicit information regarding no children allowed. Approached our table to kick us out. Should be informed that this should be done by a professional door supervisor and not someone from behind the bar. Such a shame a historic pub represented by rude people.

Amazing pub, and lovely friend staff. The food was amazing! Couldn’t fault anything! Mine and my partners new go to! All the staff were very welcoming and lovely! and the dog menu is great if you have a pup xx

Now this is a pub to feel at home in. Traditional features, comfortable seating and good range of good beers. I was surprised how spacious it was as I goind it stretched back so far. Have to visit Barnet Hospital nearby so hope to return here a number of times

Really like this pub, it has good food and the staff are lovely. Great pub food and the portions more than adequate. 😀

On a cold, dark, and windswept Sunday Night The Great North Road through Chipping Barnet was a bleak place to be searching for a traditional hostelry. Having rejected several, alas, modernised establishments nearby, I peeped through the not very promising condensation-obscured windows of Ye old Mitre, and risked popping in. Thawing out over a mulled cider served by a very pleasant bar-person, it gradually dawned on me as I took in the details of this lovely old rabbit warren of a coaching-house, that it is one of the last real pubs left around London. Marvellously-curated real ales, and all manner of intriguing beverages freshly chalked-up. In every direction there are inviting nooks and crannies, very comfortably furnished, with beautiful fireplaces. A reassuring buzz of conversation amongst friends, rather than the strident yahooing so prevalent elsewhere these days. As a regular of such establishments as the French House, the Dog and Duck, (Soho), the Nags Head (Hyde Park Corner), and even the old Lamb and Flag, Covent Garden, during its heyday, I can see that Ye Old Mitre is a splendid discovery, beautifully looked after by its Owner and Team, to which I shall return right speedily!

Lovely old pub with a good atmosphere. We got a seat by the fire. Very cosy.

Excellent choice of ales, well kept, not expensive and friendly staff. Great cheeseboard too.

Awesome historical pub with different areas and a gorgeous beer garden. Family and pet friendly

Cool pub! The atmosphere was buzzing & the bar staff were friendly!

Lovely pub, lovely garden for alfresco drinking, great landlord and most importantly, great beer. Well worth a visit 👍

Excellent food, you have to try the burgers!! Good selection of real ales and very friendly staff.

Great service. Excellent choice of ales. Fantastic decor and garden

Fantastic pub with loads of history about it which enhanced my experience. Great landlord and bar staff. Really lovely vibe amongst the punters! ❤🙂

Very nice pub.. Good atmosphere.. Great range of draught beer's and ciders. And Ham and Mustard Crisps. What more could you want on a night out 🍻🍻

A lovely old pub, lots of cosy areas to sit and enjoy a quiet drink and a chat. The bar staff were very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely recommend it.

great as always when i visit my best friend in barnet.Hope be back soon

Old historic pub, has huge selection of alcohol. Friendly stuff and back garden at the back. Looks small from outside, big and cozy inside)

Great variety of beers on tap and bottled that rotates a lot within a super classic very very old pub.

Nice environment with warm colors, in my opinion it is a really good place to enjoy a pint after a day's work, or especially on a lazy Sunday! Visited it with my wife, and have to say she loved it as well, definitely recommend

Absolutely great place, Say hi to the bar staff. Try some of the food and enjoy the garden.

Wonderful Pub New to the area and the staff were fantastic, great food recommendations and super friendly. Can't wait to take my friends here!

Beautiful, authentic old pub with great atmosphere, nice staff and a decent range of drinks. A real gem.

Lovely atmospheric old pub with nice outside space and very reasonable prices.

What a delightful find in Barnet. This ancient pub has cosy corners and a roaring fire. With a backroom suitable for private functions overlooking a patio terrace, this watering hole has alot to offer. Looking forward to returning.

I know a place called Shepton Mallet I went there last summer on my motorbike, I met a girl called Hazel McDonald And she said to me let's go for a ride, So to the beach we went two leathers and a tent Was strapped to the back of a motorbike, We made love completely on the sand so sweetly After the sun had time to hide, Now A man from the council came along and told me you, 'll have to move your bike son cause you can,t park there, So I took the hint and travelled on a bit then drove it round a corner into a square, Hazel looked at me smiling passionately She said up the meter man and let's park right here, Now don't worry baby you know I, m not that crazy I don't think they, 'll give you the electric chair. Victor Allen 1980

Fantastic selection of beers, amazing original Coach House architecture, long history and great service. A wonderful old pub. Great outdoor beer garden too.

Historic pub with plenty of character, pint choice and nice outdoor seating. Been pretty buzzy last couple of times I went

Lovely traditional pub with a decent selection of well-kept ales, spent a happy few hours drinking here last week. Not sure I'd recommend the food for everyone at the moment - friends said the burger they had was good, but the only apparent veggie option is the cheese platter which came with a surprise half a pork pie (we did check that the platter was supposed to be vegetarian at the bar before ordering) - someone ate it so didn't complain but not ideal. I understand it's currently a very cutdown menu due to a recent change of hands so this will hopefully improve.

This is a beautiful old pub. I'd become jaded re pub food , however we had a lovely meal. I recommend the burger and my wife had the bacon and chicken sandwich. Both were great. The stuff were friendly and welcoming. Needless to say the beer was fantastic! Thank goodness it's local and we will definitely go back soon.
