| It would be a very nice pub, extensive Fuller's range, a bit of preserved glass here and there (e.g. a couple of remaining snob screens) around the large island bar, and situated on a quiet residential corner. But it's one of those places where you feel like you are drinking at a restaurant, not a pub. And best to avoid it if you're offended by a bit of braying (being a brayer myself I cannot complain all that much). dpv - 2 Jun 2008 14:02 |
| Very "Islington", but neverthless very good. The interior is sympathetically designed and retains some of the etched glass of its previous incarnation. The location is beautiful on the edge of one of London's nicest small squares. I also enjoyed a wondrous dish of Duke of Berkshire belly pork with fennel and the best carrots I have ever tasted. Jovial service and these poepel are clearly on to a winner. BoehmBawerk - 21 Apr 2008 13:35 |
| Called in here with a group between Christmas & New Year. Excellent beer quality, friendly staff and an open fire. A very pleasant place indeed. Food was snacks only due to kitchen fire. Also wide range of bottled beers from various countries. Recommended. mally - 1 Jan 2008 17:20 |
| Shocked to see this place rated so low! Dropped in for a quick one after seeing Kate Walsh at the Union Chapel. Chiswick, Pride, ESB and a very tasty Mr Harry on draught and Discovery and Golden Pride in bottles. The latter at a ridiculously cheap £2.25 or so according to the price list written up. Not sure I can believe it when they had Paulaner Weisse listed at £4.50. OK maybe it's overpriced and the food list looked noncy but certainly worth a trip for the beer and architecture.

| I can't speak for the food, but we found the Crown very pleasant to soak our Sunday evening away recently. Usual Islington prices so take some plastic. Above all this is a beautiful Victorian pub, much less scoured out than almost anywhere. For example it has those little swivelly acid glass windows over the bar - so it's high on my list. Beer fine, as others point out. AbeC - 1 Sep 2007 00:07 |
