Not sure what a Soho knocking shop looks like so will have to take Harry's word for it. Have drunk in The Railway for a year or so and I would not call it a gastropub though the food is very good, the staff are always nice and friendly and it is a great place to relax and have a pint. dont think Harry would know a good pub if it kicked him up the bum!

Horrible Gastropub. The manager smells unpleasent and it is decorated like a Soho knocking shop!

Whilst finishing a cigarette before I entered this establishment I noticed the sign on the A-board on the path outside which was advertising the pub as being perfect for ‘lovely ladies with babies who love to lunch’. This instantly filled me with dread and I was expecting my first visit to this pub to consist of a quick half before a quick exit, but I was very wrong. I thought that the staff were very friendly and the regulars all seemed nice enough creating a very relaxed atmosphere and there was not a pushchair in sight.

I didn’t spot any TV screens, but there was a table skittles game taking centre spot in the raised back section of the pub and from the signs saying that the back door must be locked when a band is playing I deduced that the pub hosts live music.

Bass, Deuchars and Landlord were all available alongside a selection of standard and premium lagers. I had a couple of pints of the Landlord which I found to be very good.

The beer garden out the back is less garden and more yard, but it has a few decorations and is well looked after, I just don’t think I would want to spend an extended period drinking in it.

I think that this is definitely a contender for the best pub in Crouch End and I would certainly go back if in the area again.

Traditional enough to be classed at a proper pub in terms of decor (wood panelled Charringtons interior) and not as irritating as a lot of the gastropubs in the area. Despite this, the food is very good indeed. Useful back garden and two (maybe three?) ales.

They've struck the right balance and become one of the better pubs in Crouch end as a consequence.
