Spouter's Corner - Haringey

We visited the Spouters corner many times on our visit to Wood Green one night we had the Tikka curry another chips sausage &beans and other days just a drink the pub was always very busy with hardly a spare table but never any trouble.

We dined here for dinner before a show at Alexandra Palace, as the location was very convenient. The staff we encountered were all very polite, and our drinks and main courses were served promptly. The food was delicious, prompting us to order dessert. The staff were accommodating when we asked to change one order from ice cream to custard, but unfortunately the custard was lumpy and not enjoyable on both that dessert and the crumble we also ordered. It was disappointing as everything else had been great. Despite this, we did not mention it to the busy staff.

I have visited this restaurant a few times and never had any issues before, but today was a complete disaster. It was a busy day with lots of customers looking to have lunch and drinks. It seems like they were understaffed for a day like this. There were only two employees behind the bar - one was rushing to serve food and clear tables, while the other kept going in and out of the office and only helped out towards the end. Our drinks were left sitting at the bar for about 10 minutes, and when we went to grab them ourselves, we found that they had gotten our order wrong. The service was extremely slow and they definitely need to hire more staff.

Very handy for the Wood Green underground, stopped on the way back from the World Darts at the Ally Pally. Was very busy but the table we found was clean. Our food was served quite quickly and was hot and tasty. Would def stop again...

Spent the last 20 years teaching A levels. Somehow I have lost the ability to purchase a pint in my local spoons. Clearly me problems as the managers have informed me. Should I be happy
