The World's End is a spacious pub at 21 to 23 Stroud Green Road, only a short walk from Finsbury Park station. The lively room combines the familiar character of a local pub with an American barbecue food offer from Red Dog Saloon. It works equally well for a casual drink, a full meal or a group gathering around live sport.
Low and slow smoked meat sits at the centre of the kitchen, with brisket, pork and chicken bringing deep savoury flavour from the smoker. Burgers are stacked with cheese, bacon, pickles and sauces, while wings can be coated in a choice of sweet, smoky or hot seasoning. Sharing several meats gives a table an easy route through the barbecue selection.
Fries, slaw, pickles and loaded sides complete the larger plates, joined by pub snacks suited to drinks. Meat free choices provide alternatives to the smokehouse favourites, and smaller dishes suit diners who are not looking for a full barbecue meal. The generous format is particularly practical for groups arriving before a match or evening event.
Craft beer, lager, cider, wine, spirits and cocktails support the social atmosphere. Screens show major sporting fixtures, and the pub remains animated well beyond the main dining period. Its transport links, spacious interior and combination of beer with bold barbecue food give the World's End a distinctive place in Finsbury Park.
