Queens Arms, Underhill, Barnet

It took me about 5 minutes to get served in here yesterday as the lone barman decided to collect glasses from the beer garden whilst me and another bloke stood at the bar waiting. I thought it a little strange that only one member of staff was on duty on a bank holiday Monday during the Newcastle v Chelsea game. Once I was finally served the barman was polite. The three pool tables at the rear of the pub were all surrounded with young drinkers, one of which tried to ride a bike into the pub. The fire exit by the pool tables was open with people hanging in with fags on the go and a few more of them were loitering in the car park smoking. I found a table right at the back of the beer garden, away from a potty mouthed chav women, which was nice until the first of many Northern line trains came trundling by about 20 metres from where we were sitting. All in all not a great experience.
