Socializing in Barnet

“Ive been using Elite/Thomas for 12+ years almost every week, Thomas is great and his haircuts are even better! Very well priced too. Id highly recommend in the area. 6 stars from me if it was possible.”

“Massive thanks for the awesome haircut! You always know how to make me look sharp. I appreciate your attention to detail and the great chats we have. You're the best barber I know, and I always leave feeling fresh and confident. Keep up the fantastic work! Shwan”

“Omar served us and was amazing. The Shisha had a lot of flavour, amazing customer service and had a great vibe inside. Drinks were fairly priced, highly reccomend coming here with your mates after a night out! Had a great experience, will be coming back”

“Aming christmas experience , staff were absolutely nice and its been a longtime ive experienced such a great service with genuinely friendly people. Food was delicious also, loved the richness of my starter, main and desert. It was so lovely to meet the owner too she was absolutely amazing and welcoming despite her hard work and business. Overall This Restaurant has set the bar in terms of food, service and professionalism.”

“Enjoyed lovely dinning with a friend , . Nice varied menu . Quiz was also going on which we said we would return to do . Gorgeous decor , and the staff all very friendly and welcoming. Special thanks to Anna who was super helpful telling us all about upcoming events planned .”

“Contrary to other reviews, this is a good and supportive school with well educated staff and teachers. They are also not extremely strict like other schools which allows students here to form their identities without being stripped of their personal Liberty and freedom of self expression (like some other schools). Multicultural and diverse, you have students from all sorts of different backgrounds which enables you to mingle and form relationships with people from cultures all across the world. The education system is supportive. Staff is supportive. Cantine food is mediocre. I don’t know how things have changed from when I left 5 years ago, but from the time I was here, I enjoyed my secondary school experience. Other schools have it a lot worse, at friern Barnet you were enabled to be educated while not being autonomously ruled.”

“Dedication, honesty, and authenticity. They do all they can for the love of swimming and waterpolo. What Aram and his team can offer is second to none. Two and a half decades of experience.”

“Our little boy joined the baby room at The Hyde in February and he absolutely loves it there. He settled in super quickly and has wonderful fun filled days. The staff are lovely, warm and caring and you can see the bonds between the babies and them. The space is beautiful with lots of light, lovely toys and a really nice garden space where they often spend time. They do lots of activities to learn through play and build relationships with one another. He has really thrived since joining and we love how much he enjoys going and feel really lucky and grateful we found The Hyde.”

“Amazing, have never been disappointed from this restaurant despite the negative reviews. This has been my local for years and it’s still as good, at least the items I order.”

“Gosia is a wonderful speech and language therapist. Her methods are fun, flexible and effective! Thank you for your ongoing help and support! I highly recommend Gosia!”

“A group of us go to the cafe after our Nordic walk in nearby Trent Park. Its run by volunteers, so friendly and nice. The food and drinks are lovely, especially the home made cake.”

“From the moment you step into Puddleducks New Southgate Nursery, you are greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately puts both children and parents at ease. The vibrant, cheerful environment is thoughtfully designed to stimulate young minds and nurture creativity, making it an ideal setting for early childhood education. One standout feature of Puddleducks is its exceptional staff, particularly Sameerah, whose dedication and passion for her work shine through in everything she does. Sameerah is a beacon of kindness and professionalism, consistently going above and beyond to ensure each child feels valued and supported. Her ability to connect with children on an individual level is truly remarkable, fostering a sense of trust and security that is essential for young learners. For any parent seeking a nurturing and stimulating environment for their little ones, Puddleducks, is the perfect choice.”

“Best groomers about! I've been taking my little dog Poncho here for a good few years now and honestly always leave happy. Nina is super patient with my (slightly crazy) dog and I always feel like I'm leaving him in good hands. Would recommend this place to anyone!”

“Mays Pets is hands down the best pet store I've ever been to! The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a friendly smile and exceptional customer service. Denise, the owner, has truly created a one-stop shop for everything your pets could need. Whether it’s high-quality food, toys, or accessories, I always find exactly what I’m looking for—and my pets are obsessed with the treats and toys I buy here! The store is always spotless and well organised, making it easy to find what I need. On top of that, the staff's knowledge and passion for pets really shine through. Denise and her team are always eager to help and provide advice tailored to your specific pet. The grooming services at Mays Pets are also top-notch! Georgie and Jordanna are incredibly talented groomers who treat every pet with such care and compassion. My dog absolutely loves his grooming sessions with them, and he always comes back looking his best and smelling fresh. I can't imagine trusting anyone else with my furry friends. I highly recommend Mays Pets to any pet owner! Whether you're shopping for essentials or booking a grooming appointment, you'll experience the best quality, service, and care. Thank you, Denise, Georgie, and Jordanna, for everything you do!”

“Wonderful warm welcome and service with a beaming smile! Top hygiene rating, to boot!”

“One of the best meals I’ve had in all of London what a treat. Phenomenal service, lovely setting and incredible dishes. Will be back often and can’t stop telling friends to visit!!”

“Had a team dinner there, everyone enjoyed all 3 courses and our waiter Chris was very attentive and helpful with the dietary requests. Food was all lovely and the Christmas menu had some good options”

“I absolutely love this cafe. The cappuccino I had was one of the best I’ve ever tasted creamy, hot, and made with care. The space is inviting, with a mix of modern style and homey charm. The breakfast menu includes lots of delicious dishes. The staff are genuinely friendly, not just polite, and make you feel welcome. It’s clear they care about both the coffee and the customers. I’ll be bringing all my friends here from now on.”

“Georgina was a lovely waitress — friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout our visit. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and was always happy to help with a smile. Her service really added to the overall experience. Thank you, Georgina!”

“Jamie, Megan & co are very friendly and want more people to visit. Its had a revamp, lots on a weekend and during the week. Well worth a visit and the drinks are reasonably priced too. See you again soon.”

“Great pizza, always order thin crust vegetarian, get it at least once a week, great little takeaway I'm so lucky it's at the end of my road. Super friendly staff.”

“Cozy and comfortable, ladies always provide good fresh coffee or food and great service and a smile, even during rush hour, you don’t wait long to be served. Definitely my favourite coffee shop in Barnet.”

“This place is amazing and so welcoming. The staff are outstanding, especially the landlord Steve.”

“The Red Lion Restaurant in High Barnet is a charming venue with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Alongside their delicious menu of classic and modern dishes, they also offer a great selection of drinks to complement your meal. The friendly service and cozy ambiance make it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal, drinks, or a special gathering. Highly recommended!”

“I order from them tonight for the first time since it has new ownership. Both my son and I thought the food was delicious! Arrived quickly will definitely order from them again, it will be my new Indian takeaway. I don't usually leave reviews but I felt compelled to.”

“Lovely coffee shop, food & drinks lovely & staff very friendly . Totally recommend this lovely coffee shop .”

“Their pub The Black Horse is one of the best in Barnet. Good food, Great outdoor beer garden, including a separate function area. Fantastic staff.”

“I went to Chloe for my first ever lashes. They looked great. I went to a festival, skiing and almost 4 weeks later they still look good!”
