The Clissold Arms offers a delightful Greek dining experience with "extraordinary" food and a "beautiful" garden setting. Guests appreciate the "attentive and friendly" staff and enjoy authentic dishes like lamb souvlaki and souvlaki mains. Though prices are higher, the inviting atmosphere and extensive drink selection make it worth a visit.

    We booked quite late on for my Mums 80th birthday meal. They were really helpful and phoned us to discuss the arrangements and offered us the Shed as a private dining room. It was perfect. The kids loved having their own private area to play games and run around and my Mum loved the lack of noise from other diners. It was a nice room with a good heater. The food was very nice - we shared a Greek Meze which was delicious and then had the amazing Kleftiko with incredibly succulent meat. The kids were delighted with their menus and desserts. Mainly though thank you to the staff / owners who really looked after us and made it a special day for my Mum. Thanks so much.

    1st time for Sunday lunch although been to the Clissold many times before. We went for the Greek options and the lamb souvlaki was fantastic, as recommended by the excellent Nikos, who looked after us very well throughout our long lunch. As the weather was good on Sunday, we were able to sit outside for lunch, which made it an even more enjoyable experience - thoroughly recommended.

    We booked this pub as we were in Muswell Hill for the day and wanted to eat somewhere new..Clissold Arms is a huge sprawling pub, we were seated in the huge beer garden. We had such lovely service from the warm staff, and we were pleasantly surprised that the cuisine was Greek. We ordered mezze starters and souvlaki for mains, all extremely authentic and tasty. The staff were so lovely and my Greek family enjoyed getting to know our incredible waiter. We will return to this down to earth pub.

    My friend and I always choose the Clissold Arms, it’s reasonable Greek food, not too expensive and the service is always fantastic. My only gripe this time was the foul smell in the ladies bathroom, it was awful and made me feel quite sick. I’ve never experienced this before so I hope it was a one off, apart from that it still remains our favourite meeting place

    The waitress couldn't have been more inviting or helpful. The food was excellent. The sea bass I had was cooked perfectly. Really recommend for a relaxed time with good traditional Greek food.
