The Garden Ladder


The Garden Ladder is the latest addition to the pubs of the area, replacing the Indian restaurant Yasmin which previously occupied this location. After opening in the autumn of 2006 it quickly became a local favourite offering a combination of excellent, well-priced food and a friendly atmosphere. The modern, bright style, big windows and attractive decor is in marked contrast to the other pubs of Green Lanes, and presumably aims to attract a younger, more female clientele.

The beers, (Directors and a weekly guest ale) are well kept and reasonably priced at around £2.65. Lager drinkers have the options of San Miguel or Kronenbourg as well as a range of bottles. A good selection of wines is also available from £10.00 up, and a range of cocktails are served for around a fiver.

The Garden Ladder really stands out for its food though. Sandwiches and light meals are available for £3-£6 at lunchtime, while the evening menu offers a good choice of main courses all under £8.00 including staples such as burgers, pasta and chilli as well as more adventurous weekly specials such as a trio of fish, noisette of lamb with roasted vegetables. Excellent starters and desserts also appear on the a la carte and specials menu from around £2.50 Sunday lunch is served carvery style for £7.95.

There is occasional live music on a Monday night, and a DJ at weekends, when the pub is open until midnight.

I agree with the main listing comments, great new addition to the area, try the Sunday carvery, lush food, eat as much as you like all for £7.95, bargin. The perfect hangover cure with a couple of Bloody Mary's.
