Buzzing Atmosphere with Friendly, Laughing Staff!

If you haven't yet ventured into the heart of Hornsey, let me nudge you towards Three Compasses—a pub dazzling enough to rival even the brightest North Star. Walking in, the initial feeling is akin to meeting an old school friend after years; it's got that warmth wrapped with excitement. I popped in for the Tottenham vs. Arsenal clash and must say, every seat was strategically placed to catch the game unfolding on their stupendously sized 4K screen. The vibe? Electric! As fans guffawed and gnashed, a harmonious blend of beer mugs clinking and steaks sizzling kept everyone glued, albeit occasionally distracted by the aromatic sizzles from behind the counter.

Food-wise, this venue is rather more rosette than rustic nail-hole. The highlights of our indulgence—a zingy Fat Chef Burger for the plant-powered crowd and a pulled pork hot dog, each prepared with a flair rarely encountered in typical pub settings. The pièce de résistance, however, is the atmosphere: a cozy medley of family joys, sports screenshots, and yes—rock-solid pool skills gracing the table. Despite a minor hiccup with a cocktail bearing experimental twists, what impressed most was the heartfelt hospitality of the staff, intuitively attentive without fawning over your every spoonful of Guinness-gravy. All considered, with its beguiling menu, snappy service, and roaring sport-tide spirit, Three Compasses shows it’s not just another Hornsey haunt but a shoal worth mooring to with fervor. Do yourself a favor—visit before tide and time wait no more! — Milo Tastemaker
