The Bald Faced Stag is a long established East Finchley pub at 69 High Road, with a welcoming dining room and a spacious garden that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Its kitchen focuses on seasonal British pub cooking, balancing familiar favourites with more contemporary plates. The setting suits a casual drink, a family meal, dinner with friends or a leisurely weekend visit.
Small plates and starters offer an easy introduction to the menu, with choices such as a black pudding Scotch egg, chicken wings and dishes shaped by the season. Ingredients are sourced from carefully selected producers, and the kitchen gives recognisable pub food a thoughtful finish. Several plates can also be shared over drinks before a larger meal.
Main courses may include a beef burger, a plant based burger, haddock with chips, pork belly, ribeye steak and a changing market fish dish. These choices cover comforting classics as well as lighter options, while seasonal changes keep the menu relevant across the year. Vegetarian and plant based diners are included within the broader selection.
Sunday roasts are an important part of the week, served with the traditional vegetables, potatoes and accompaniments expected from a British pub lunch. The bar complements the food with cask beer, wine, cocktails and alcohol free choices. Together with the generous garden and friendly neighbourhood character, this makes The Bald Faced Stag a versatile East Finchley destination.
