Not a local of the area but if having a leisurely day in London usually start here. Visited 3 time in last year and always left happy. This is definately a gastropub and the food is excelent and in my mind good value for its quality. Wine list is also good and again well priced for good drinkable glug. Also good selection of beers on tap. As long as you are not expecting wetherspoon prices you will have a good time. Lunchtime is better than the busy evenings.

The food is as good as it is in any pub anywhere, anytime - Roast Guinea Fowl, arroz negro, ham hock
and some beautiful vegetable soups. A shame, therefore, about the snooty service and Francoesque attitude towards anybody who dares to have a good time. It's a pub, not a restaurant and a big dose of relaxed attitudes would not go amiss. Good food and drink still gets it 7 stars though.

First place I ate in when I moved to clerkenwell 2 years ago and its still a treat every time I go back.

Front of house kitchen makes for a great atmosphere. The menu is id say mostly spanish (seems to change daily) and is all basic fare cooked superbly. Hearty portions and non pretentious. Rustic would be a good all round description of the place.

not sure at all about the comments; 'smug people', 'overated' and 'rude staff'. I think the staff are all completely on the ball and never stand still. A friendly mixed bunch! The croud is always varied and im not sure at all why 'overated'. Its good for a quiet pint (good range of drinks) and if its vibrant spanish hustle n bustle ur after then its perfect.

Over rated and full of smug but boring people. Good beers. Food is good but too fussy and way too pricey. Perhaps a victim of its own success.

this place is completely overrated and I can't believe there are so many good reviews. I live nearby so have been quite a few times out of sheer convenience. But the service has been so bad every time and the staff so rude that I can't bring myself to go again. The food is really overpriced and the kitchen lacking in basic hygiene. I think they've just become complacent and must just be riding on their previous good reputation.
