| Retains much of its original Victorian interior and is worth visiting for that alone - but, based on yesterdays visit, this pub appears to attract the young upwardly mobile Islington types and there is not much in the way of real ale to attract the beer buff. JohnBonser - 25 Feb 2008 13:50 |
| Food very variable. However, the beer, staff and decor make the Island Queen an excellent pub which has a very nice local community feel about it. It would be near perfect if they could sort the food out, i.e. serve a small range of quality bar snacks rather than the over ambitious current menu, or, get a new chef. mally - 1 Jan 2008 17:29 |
| This pub has a good atmosphere, traditional decor with a hint of modernity and an impressive range of ciders. However, when we went in for drinks and food last night we were very disappointed. My companions were not impressed with their food (half a roast chicken with three cold roast potatoes rolling around the plate and a beef burger which was unappetising) but at least their meals were edible. I chose and ordered a seafood platter only to be told some time later that it was not available. I then ordered the "posh mushrooms". When they arrived, the some of the mushrooms were still raw (as was the garlic), there was no sign of any butter and the bread which accompanied it should have been baked before being dished up. When I took my plate back to the bar, I was offered a refund and an apology. It seemed though that my complaint did not come as any surprise. We will not be returning to the Island Queen for food. jfhlondon - 30 Dec 2007 17:23 |
| Good pub to go and have a sit down with your mates and a chat. Not far from Angel. The food is very good with some nice options for the veggies. Friendly staff. There was only one real ale (London Pride)and a cider on tap when I went, and also some European beers I think. Quiet area, not many tourists. Comfy. Big function room upstairs. Nice. dasbhaumik - 20 Nov 2007 12:04 |
| just far enough from angel to avoid the cretinous masses but still be handy (if you can find it), attractive pub with a wide range of beers, mostly belgian but with 2 or 3 ales as well. the usual food bias for this kind of place but overall pretty good. I think it's run by the same people as the flask in highgate and the gate at hampstead heath station. mralistair - 19 Jul 2007 23:27 |
