Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Lunch with the kids at ... The Banc
It being the school holidays I've been taking the kids going out for lunch in the neighbourhood over the last couple of weeks. As well as the usual places you'd expect such as Cafe Lemon or Shamata, we're also trying new places and this week, as we've been spending every morning at Downhills Park for the summer tennis lessons, we thought we'd give The Banc, opposite the Philip Lane entrance of the park, a go for lunch.
The Banc opens at 12 for lunch during the week (except on Mondays) and so we were the first ones in. We were given a warm and attentive welcome and quickly settled into a booth with drinks and the lunch menu, which offers a main for £5.95. As my daughter is something of a burger connoisseur, she opted for the adult sized classic burger (below) and I decided to try the vegetarian falafel burger. There were also several non burger options on the lunch menu
There is a kids menu and my boy went for chicken goujons for £4.50 from this menu. They were fresh and delicious and came with chips and salad.
Be warned. The burgers are big! And very scrummy. They come with proper hand made chips too. Here's my falafel burger
The lunch with drinks and a double expresso for me came to £22 and the kids really didn't want anything else for the rest of the day 
I would certainly recommend a trip to The Banc as a summer holiday lunch time treat. Jump on the 341 and combine it with a trip to the lovely Downhills Park and/or Lordship Rec opposite. They also have baby chairs.

The Banc are great and very child friendly during the day. I had my birthday lunch there last year with about 12 adults and 6 under fours and they made us feel very welcome.
Also, it's not the sort of place you only go with kids. The food is genuinely good and it's spacious enough that tables with child diners don't impose on those without. Birthdays aside we are usually the latter (none of the 6 were mine!) and Banc is a trusted local lunch or dinner whenever we have guests staying. The lamb chops are especially good.
Ooh now I am hungry!

I tried this place just now for lunch - yes, the burger is amazing and great value. As I was feeling sorry for myself following a trip to the (always fantastic) nearby dentist, I splurged on desert - they do a killer banoffee pie which is very nicely packaged. I usually resent £4.95 deserts but this was actually worth it. Much better than most equivalent meals in town, I have to say, and I hope this place stays around.

I agree. We went here when it first opened and really like the food and the service.
