The King of Prussia is a neighbourhood pub in Finchley Central with a large shuffleboard table at the back, so you can slide a few rounds between pizzas and pints. It suits a relaxed night with mates or a low-key date where you want something to do besides talk. The most useful thing to know: the board gets busy at weekends, so book your table and play time ahead rather than chancing a walk-in.

Drinks are a real draw here. There are around 15 to 16 keg lines of rotating craft beer plus cask hand-pulls, a decent wine list and cocktails. Food is hand-stretched pizza, burgers, bar snacks and British plates, with a Sunday set menu. It is a two-minute walk from Finchley Central station on the Northern line.

The shuffleboard setup

The King runs a single large shuffleboard table, the long American-style kind where you slide weighted pucks toward the far end and try to stop them near the edge without dropping off. Each player takes four weights and alternates ends. It sits in the bar area rather than a separate games room, so you play with a drink in hand and the jukebox going. Because there is one table, weekend demand is high. Booking your slot alongside a table is the safe move, and the staff host occasional shuffleboard nights too. Walk-in play is possible on quieter weekday afternoons.

Good to know

Open from noon every day, closing at 11pm Sunday to Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturday. To book a table and shuffleboard time, use the venue website or call 020 8346 6006. The kitchen does hand-stretched pizza, burgers, bar snacks and British food, with a Sunday set menu at £25 for two courses or £30 for three. Drinks run to roughly 15 to 16 craft keg lines, cask ales, wine and cocktails. It is an easy spot for groups, though space around the board is limited when the pub is full.
