The Elmhurst: Pub in Haringey, London

The Elmhurst is a food-led place in N17, and the programming follows the kitchen. Sunday roasts draw people in for a long lunch rather than a quick bite. Around that, the room picks up other things. Record fairs bring crate diggers and people who know their labels. DJ sets give the place a later, looser feel. A midweek quiz gives regulars a reason to come back. That mix is the point. It suits people who like to stay put, eat well and let an afternoon run on. Come for the food, and stay for whatever the room is doing. It's a good pick if you want a local spot where the crowd feels more neighbourhood than tourist.
