The Clissold Arms is a family owned gastropub at 105 Fortis Green in north London. Established in 1850 and known for its connection with local band The Kinks, it combines a long community history with a relaxed restaurant, several distinct rooms and a large covered garden.
A food first philosophy guides a menu that brings Greek and Mediterranean cooking into the British pub setting. The selection changes with what is fresh from local producers, moving between lighter dishes, fish from a local fishmonger and more substantial Greek specialities.
Sunday lunch offers both British and Greek interpretations of the traditional roast. Vegetarian and vegan choices are available, alongside a children’s menu and homemade desserts, so families and groups with different preferences can comfortably share a meal.
Beer, cider, spirits and cocktails are joined by a varied wine list, including natural Greek wines sourced from a small winery near Delphi. The main restaurant, Kinks Room, Terrace, Shed and garden give diners a choice of atmosphere for everyday visits, live entertainment or private celebrations.
Address: 105 Fortis Green, London N2 9HR, England
