| Smart pub with contemporary furnishings. Probably catering for the "posher" clientele amongst the hoards around Camden Lock and Market. Three beers on handpump - we tried the Brains IPA (average) and the Westerham Brewery British Bulldog which was quite tasty. The 3rd beer was the ubiquitous London Pride. The prices are steep (£3.70 a pint). Didn't eat but the food looked OK and portions seemed to be fair-sized. The foreign staff were cheery enough and we had prompt and efficient service even though the girl was chatting to her mate in some eastern european language while she poured our beers. Downside - the toilets are all stainless steel and are grafittie ridden which was really wierd considering the type of customers in the bar!! The management need to clean the loos as they do let the place down. mcroyal - 17 Nov 2011 10:46 |
| Not a bad pub at all, staff were quick and friendly and a good range of beer available. Lots of people ordering food which shows it cant be too bad, but we opted to eat elsewhere (Ice Wharf). Scousefire - 26 Oct 2011 11:23 |

| Flat Beer but quite decent food. I like the look of this pub from the outside, quite nice inside but during the week (after work) I didn't sense much of an atmosphere. I wouldn't recommend it, however isn't as bad as others in Camden thepower - 18 Nov 2009 14:10 |
| 383. The Bucks Head - Camden I must have walked past the Bucks Head hundreds of times without ever feeling any great desire to enter. The exterior proudly displays its heritage as part of the Truman, Hanbury Buxton & Co empire but sadly that is about all that is left of its features. Inside is a typically designer orientated retro style pub with hints of an art deco reproduction. The beers were mainstream beers and lagers with 3 hand pumps; London Pride, Adnams Broadside (which was off) and one unused. Prices were pretty hefty with nothing on the price list being below £3.30 a pint). Measures were woeful and the imported barman didn’t really grasp the concept of topping up. My pint was still way short AFTER it had been supposedly topped up (at my request). For foodies, there was a reasonably priced chain pub grub menu but nothing you can’t get anywhere else in pretty much any Camden pub. The main attraction of the place is probably the small roof terrace that overlooks the bustling and lively Camden Market but, having now made the effort to pop inside and being distinctly underwhelmed, I think I will continue to carry on walking past in the future.
