| What a great find. My friends and I went out for a bit of a sunday session in islington last week and stumbled upon this gem. Only went in for a pint and ended up staying for several hours and enjoying a brilliant sunday roast. Def recommend and will certainly be going back. dontreacle - 20 May 2009 15:34 |
| Lovely central oval bar and internal features. Nice quiet location , not too far from the main drag. Happy with my Fullers porter. Service was pants, not a word passed from the lips of the barmaid. (I was one of 6 people in there on a thursday afternoon) rob372 - 11 May 2009 10:45 |
| What has happened? Despite being a managed house the crown has always had the feel of a pub well run by people who care about it. Good food, good beers and a lovely victorian interior. That was the case. It seems recently however that the staff have all been exchanged for eastern europeans that really don't care two stuffs about the customers or the pub. Although the menu looks nice the food is far from it, huge mountians of dried out over cooked sunday roast piled up on instant oxo type gravy. It's one of the nicest pubs around, it just needs is a decent chef and some good staff. carlythecat - 15 Mar 2009 21:38 |
| This very much a gastropub, with prices to match (£12.50 for fish and chips), but the Chiswick Bitter at £2.70 a pint was pretty good. Another pub with many original Victorian features – original tiling, panelling, etched and cut glass windows, snob screens, and what looked like original floorboards. As is typical with a pub of this era, it has a central island bar in order to service the several separate drinking areas that would have been the norm when it was built. Definitely worth dropping in for a pint if you are anywhere in the vicinity. RexRattus - 20 Sep 2008 00:57 |
| Crown is probably slightly overrated by the Good Beer Guide. Last time I was in, one of they're pints was not priced in a 10p increment, meaning it fucks over someone ordering a half and encourages drinking more than one wants. A staple of good pub-running is that people must pay half the full price for half a pint. Easy, innit? Quite expensive, pretty much only Fuller's on (and in that case, no "London Porter" means nothing good enough at that price). If you are "Islington", this is probably for you as a local. It's not a bad place, it's not great, just that I'd never just happen to walking round that way to walk in. Walk to the Wenlock in 15mins from Cloudesley...your choice.
