First sold beer: March 2013
Ceased brewing: November 2021

This sprawling Victorian pub just outside Barnet town centre was relaunched late in 2012 by Oak Taverns, a group that runs several brewpubs outside London. The 2.5 hl brewery, in an outhouse at the side, was supplied by Iceni in Norfolk, partly recycling vessels from the old Federation brewery in Newcastle. Brewing was started with some help from XT Brewing in Thame, which is linked to the group.

Longstanding brewer Nick Zivkovic regularly provided beers in broadly traditional styles, under both Barnet and Hadley brands. Thee were usually available only in the pub on cask, with very occasional hand bottlings.

Brewing ceased in November 2021 when Oak Taverns gave up the lease on the pub and management reverted to freeholders Heineken.
