Now offering two regular ales plus one guest; often Landlord or Tribute. Hophead will sometimes be available during the summer months.

Front L shaped bar with two large bay windows; a lovely place to sit especially when the sun is shining! An atrium brings light to the rear of the bar area.

Move into the garden and its like a Tardis!! Many different areas, some with TV screens for all sports events leading to a very large back garden and covered courtyard area with sofas.

When the kitchen is closed, you can bring in your own food,

Quiz night every Wednesday.

A chunk of the whetstone, which is thought to give the area its name, is located on the pavement outside. Legend has it that soldiers sharpened their swords on it before the Battle of Barnet (1471). Some say Whetstone got its name as a corruption of 'West Town' and the stone was a mounting block in the days of horse drawn vehicles on the road to Scotland. While the stone is Grade II listed, the pub is not although Barnet Council approved ACV status in March 2016.
