| The beer is very good, the food is very good, but boy is it pricey! Si31 - 5 May 2008 10:52 |
| This place could be great, but isn't quite there yet. Staff, although perfectly friendly, seemed unable to cope with a relatively full restaurant for Sunday lunch and food was served late and cold. We had to ask for cutlery and the dessert menu, and both were brought a long time after they had been requested. The main courses were very good even though they were cold, although the dessert (treacle tart) was pretty foul, with an overwhelming lemon and sour cream taste (not described on the menu) and no actual 'treacle' flavour. When we didn't eat it and explained it wasn't actually what it claimed to be on the menu, the waitress and the manager agreed, were apologetic, but did not take it off the bill. mabel1000 - 24 Apr 2008 14:19 |
| Really nice pub. Was in before the Arsenal v Boro game yesterday. Decent beer on handpump and an interesting collection of Scottish Ales in bottles. Only one gripe - £3.50 for a pint of Deuchars IPA? That said staff were good and efficient, food looked very nice, will be back once I've arranged the bank loan! Alfnoax - 16 Mar 2008 10:49 |
| Really brilliant old boozer which doesn't get much look-in from tourists because it's fairly far from the main hubs of Highbury Corner and Upper Street. Nice, almost rural, setting, with the New River running alongside (you can follow it all the way from here to Ware in Hertfordshire, and see a statue of the guy that built it - on nearby Islington Green).

| This place has a decent drinks selection of bottled lagers, ales and ciders, but sadly a workaday cask ale selection. Food is superb, staff excellent. I personally feel that this place suffers from the common gastro-pub ailment of giving over far too much room for the restaurant, so it kind of lacks the pub-like atmosphere. I suspect I'm in the minority for holding this opinion, but I do rather like pubs to be pubs rather than add-ons for restaurants. insekt - 26 Oct 2007 17:32 |
