| Despite the stuffy atmosphere we decided to eat, wasn't that bad but there's just something odd about this pub. The food was ok, but very overpriced. At times you could hear a pin drop in there...there is no warmth to this pub which used to be rather cosy. Scribble1808 - 6 Feb 2012 13:19 |
| The picture above is quite old as the railings have now gone and there is a decked seating rea at the front. Pleasant pub with a restaurant at the back (only appears to open in the evenings now). 3 beers on when I went (they usually have more) and a good selection of bottles beers as well. I had a very nice pint of Plain Ales "Sheep Dip" and the others were from Otley and Cheddar. The bar has the feeling of a Gastro-style pub but I think they are now majoring on beer rather then the food. Coffee is available. It is a fair walk from Highbury & Islington station (or about the same distance to Angel) but it was a bright crisp chilly day and the walk was worth it. mcroyal - 2 Feb 2012 09:42 |
| OK, so it doesn't really feel like a pub but it does excellent ale, well kept and well served and good food, based onwhat I had (pork chop with chorizo risotto). A comfy atmosphere without intrusive TV and music and by the way, a truely beautiful girl behind the bar. So what's to knock.....? Dave_the_Bee - 21 Jul 2011 00:24 |
| Nice pub this. It's quite a smart gaff, not really the homely kind of hostelry but it's a very comfortable place to drink and socialise. Good selection of interesting ales which were all well kept (on tasting) and very friendly bar staff. The food was excellent although overpriced. I had pig cheeks on mash with savoy cabbage. It was a small portion and whilst tasting excellent was far too expensive at £13.50. If you're reading this landlord, just upping the quantities of the mash and cabbage would make all the difference. The chunky chips were brilliant and the sausage roll was as good as I've ever had. All in all a very nice place to eat and drink. @bobwillis - I simply do not believe you to be genuine, your review is practically diametrically opposed to everyone else's. It's so negative it lacks any credibility. I notice you have not reviewed any other establishments either. I smell a rat. Dylarolla - 14 Jan 2011 11:14 |
| Large open plan pub with central bar. Not busy in the afternoon but I bet it is evenings. Games available. The background music was a little load for a quiet pub. 4 ales on yesterday - Harvest Pale, Pendle Witches, Proper Job and Yellowhammer. Excellent quality - £3.30 a pint. Worth a visit. cheshirecat - 23 Oct 2010 09:51 |
