They might share a name but that’s where the comparisons between Finchley’s Catcher in the Rye bar-restaurant and J.D. Salinger’s cult novel end. Indeed, this Catcher in the Rye is a whole lot friendlier than Holden Caulfield and his contemporaries, earning it a reputation and one of the most relaxed, welcoming spots in the neighbourhood. Balancing cosiness with style, the Catcher in the Rye is elegantly decorated with bold wall art, comfortable button backed settees and chairs and fireplaces just waiting for those cold winter evenings. At the Catcher food is primarily inspired by the very best of British with a seasonal influence in the choice of ingredients and an ever-changing choice displayed on the specials board. A pub-worthy bar includes real ales, lagers and ciders as well as a carefully chosen selection of fine wines.
