| I must confess I've only ever been in here for food, which was excellent. Wine was good and the service was charming too. patrickjsm - 19 Jun 2009 18:36 |
| Below average revamp of a pub that blotted its already unremarkable copybook by airing the entire Scouting for Girls album on our visit. Its owners are now scouring their drawers for the receipts relating to the hiring of the focus group - money back please. Saved by the barmy scenario of a full scale paint job being carried out on the loos on my visit - I know most would find this irksome, I saw it more as performance art.

| Thought I'd give the Northgate a go, as it has appeared in the 2009 GBG. I went in on a Saturday evening, and was expecting it to be much busier. There were plenty of spare tables with not too many people eating. Although the food did smell good. The guest ale was off, leaving the regular London Pride and Deuchars IPA. There were also around 15 different lagers plus Addlestones cider on draught. I'd be inclined to try this place again for food, but wouldn't be too fussed about returning for a drink. Will try The Scolt Head next time I'm in the area and see how this compares. blue_scrumpy - 1 Mar 2009 21:20 |
| Nothing great - its typical of the gastro open-plan style, the beer range is the usual (the guest of 6X was OK), and I guess the locals love it - very busy Sunday late afternoon. The Scolt Head was better and the streets to that are gorgeous. mtaylor40 - 13 Jan 2009 21:43 |
| God, I hate gastro pubs like this one. This used to be an honest-to-God local pub - the restaurant area at the back was once a rocking music room, where the likes of the Balham Alligators used to play. Was also venue for the Islington Folk Club at one time. Ah...sniff sniff...the good old days! MadMick - 1 Jul 2008 15:59 |
