| Disagree with some of the previous comments - the staff here are really friendly and spending a lot of time in islington I can assure you it does not look like an 'Islington Wine Bar'... I agree the place is trying to be more than it actually is - but it is comfortable and friendly. Appears to be 'open fire capable' in the winter. I've been coming here with friends for years and the decor certainly doesn't put me off. I wouldn't eat there - but I base that on the ambience created by the generic eaters they get in. I'd pop in for a pint anytime! adgi - 3 Nov 2011 18:54 |
| I think the makeover of this pub has been dreadful. I wrote to McMullens and said so but of course I received no reply. It is indeed an Islington wine bar wrapped in a traditional country pub. When I see a country pub I have expectations when I go in. They are sadly dashed here. The bar staff wear the customary London black clothes (where has this fashion come from?) and while they are young and friendly they really belong in a wine bar. The food is expensive. Small children are allowed to run riot in the pub and there is no attempt to control them. One Sunday afternoon I thought I was in a creche! I won't be rushing back. Tewin - 23 Mar 2011 07:35 |
| Took the opportunity to utilise this place for a mid way stop when doing a circular walk in the area. I can see the point of some of the previous comments. Looked like any standard traditional village pub as we approached across the Green, but then closer resembles an Islington Gastro pub inside. However, for me, this is one of the better all wood McMullen makeovers I’ve been in. The multi split level (with the main dining area below the bar ) works well and the two spacious drinking areas either side of the central bar are pleasant enough with all the light wood beans and comfy seating. Usual range of McMullen Cask Ales and couldn’t fault the couple we tried. Yes I guess the beer and food are pricey for a Hertfordshire Village and were more in keeping with an establishment in N1. However they had a lunchtime soup and sandwich deal for a fiver and couldn’t fault that for quality. So in conclusion, a smart , food orientated pub which we found perfectly fine. Not sure I’d choose to use it as a local if I lived in the village, but a good one for a drive out from North London. Gann - 31 Jan 2010 22:36 |
| This pub has a nice garden for a summer visit, but thinks far too much of itself. The food is extravagently described and thus is always disappointing when it arrives. It is also seriously over priced. It is very popular on sunny days because of the pretty views from the back garden. I would not recommend it for food though. suelovell - 6 Dec 2009 14:37 |
| i wouldnt say it was townie mangement as suggested before,but the staff were young but all very friendly and helpfull. My husband and I enjoyed a steak and the fish of the day which was very enjoyable. it was a shame about the weather as i would have loved to sit outside near the pond. I liked the selection of music and decor, but unfortunately didnt try any beers or wines so cant comment on them. but i had a good visit and would return when in the area lwatts - 31 Mar 2008 21:46 |
