Lord Kitchener: Pub in Barnet, London
Lord Kitchener sits in Enfield, hosting art and social events for people who want something beyond the usual. You get car festivals, karaoke nights, seasonal drinks. The programming is unforced, rooted in what the local crowd actually wants to do rather than what's meant to look good. Enfield's not a destination area for culture, so spaces like this matter differently there. You're more likely to bump into regulars than strangers, more likely to have a genuine conversation than perform. The venue doesn't pretend to be something bigger. It's a place you'd go because someone told you about it, and you'd come back because you found something real.

About Lord Kitchener
The Lord Kitchener, known affectionately to locals as the 'Kitch', is a traditional McMullen pub on East Barnet Road in New Barnet, north London. Formerly the Black Boy, it has been part of the McMullen family since the late nineteenth century and remains a proper community local with a lively events schedule.
Entertainment is a big part of the appeal. Quiz nights run on the second and fourth Monday of the month from the evening, karaoke takes place on the second and fourth Saturday, and bands play on some Fridays, so there is usually something on. The pub also has a dartboard for those who fancy a game.
On the drinks front the Lord Kitchener pours real ale, with a changing McMullen or Rivertown seasonal beer alongside the regulars, plus wine and the usual bar staples. The kitchen serves pub favourites including pizza, wings and waffle fries. Live sport is shown on Sky Sports and TNT Sports, and there is outside seating for warmer days.
The pub sits on New Barnet's high street and is dog friendly, making it an easy and welcoming stop whether you are after a quiet pint, a game of darts or a busy quiz or music night.
