Agree with Strongers. On my visit (10 am) it was fairly busy but most people eating which is a bit off putting. Had 3 pints of courage best which were all fine and as mentioned below, the bar staff were affable and quick. Interesting wooden bar...it looks like something from a church ? Would recommend this place over most others round here.

This is a decent pub that had 4 nice and competent barmaids serving during my visit. There are 4 ale pumps, but only 2 were in use and they were both delivering Courage Best. There is also 1 premium lager and a few bog standards.

The bar almost stretches the length of the pub making it very narrow so it doesn’t take that many people to fill the place up. There are a few more tables at the rear next to the toilets, but the back door is not used so you still have to fight you way along the bar to get to them.

The music was a little loud for my liking, but other than that I enjoyed myself and would recommend to others.

Stayed in Camden for a week recently, loved it here in the Head. Old, skinny DJ at weekends. Played all the stuff I loved in my youth. Punk, Ska ,Rockabilly, He knew his stuff, Had the best collection of vinyl ive seem this side of the Thames.Booze a bit pricey but ,hey, thats London. Sunday nite was full of Skins , Mods and Teds. Plenty of Ska and tattoos. Never felt as if there was going to be any trouble there though. Loved it. Good food menu too during the day.
