Came in here late on Saturday afternoon for a bite to eat; nice bar, passable beer and prompt service. However, I ordered a steak and Guinness pie that was instantly forgetable. Although the carrots that came with it were very tasty, I wouldn't pay £10 for a small bowl of carrots.

Would come here again, but not for the food.

Pleasantly surprised by this pub. Chose it to meet people arriving at Chalk Farm tube before going to the Roundhouse - I was so impressed we went back there afterwards to eat. Staff were very friendly - didn't even mind me ordering meals just before the kitchen closed at 10 - and the food and beer were excellent (though, disappointingly, they only seemed to have IPA on at the time - albeit well-kept). Nice interior and a good outdoor area for the summer, I'd imagine.

Good decent pub, Its fairly friendly and relaxed. Nice selection of beers aswell. I came here with my girl on saturday and found it by chance. Will try and pop in again soon. Well worth a visit.

Slightly soulless venue. London Pride was ok, staff prompt. Wouldnt rush back though.

Not a bad place Primrose Hill (most of the bars around here are rubbish). The bar staff are usually very friendly and the seating is good. You get loads of characters in here(although this varies - somedays it can be full of snotty people) - The food menu is excellent - If your near Primrose Hill or Chalk Farm definately worth a try.

There is something quite nice about this pub. Everyone is pretty friendly including the bar staff. The beer is ok and the food is actually quite nice. Nice big heated patio. A good Primrose Hill pub with none of the pretentiousness of the Landsdowne!

Decent place with a decent location. Serves Leffe on draught with Fullers real ales (Pride and seasonal Jack Frost on when I was there in December). I imagine its lovely in summer what with its large patio outside. Not a "proper pub" but I'd still say go here if you are in the area.

A great pub with fantastic food and friendly staff. A large garden to watch some of the more intresting folks from the hill go by as well as relaxed atmosphere inside. A must if in the area

My strongest memory is of a man with black and crusty lips telling me to 'be happy' shortly before collapsing, face first, into 2 glasses of white wine. He was bundled into an ambulance some minutes later.

Very slow service...very camp bar staff. Hardly a pub worthy of Primrose hill.

So so very bad. The place was full of people who cannot pronounce the word "Yes" and talk about Big Brother way too much.

Never again.

Unless I'm paid.

A lot.

Whatever happened to "TED" the manager. My name's Lee and I used to play the piano in the pub at weekends during the summer of 1983.

great function room, good size, great price

Usually slow service, and not a good range of food. A couple of real ales, in theory, though they're not always on. A pool table upstairs, in a room that's often closed. Should be a good boozer, but it isn't.

My lager was nice, warm and soapy with a 3 inch head on it.

One of those pubs where all the empty tables have dirty plates on them. Nice.

A quite ordinary but ok pub. Light and airy with a beer garden that gets the evening sun in summer. And pretty close to Chalk Farm tube, which is always handy.
