The Lord Palmerston, Dartmouth Park
Ate there yesterday (a Sunday). More show no substance. Great draft bitters. Trying to sell itself as a Gastro pub: but normal pub fare.
Go there for a drink but not to eat!
Very average food
Few veggie options
Expensive prices.
Friendly service but slow.

Hello,
Went to the Island Queen on saturday night. Great beer: not very good food and student type service. Messed up the order and then had to reheat the food. Not good. This is not a gastro pub: half way between pub food and gastro. Then went to the Duke of Cambridge. Islington - trendy and probably intimidating for real ale types. But the beer is real and organic: several flavours. Brilliant. The food is fantastic but more expensive then the Island Queen: you get what you pay for.

The Duke of Cambridge, Islington
I went to eat in this pub in a party of 4 people last Saturday 3rd March 2012.
The organic beers were excellent, and the organic meat was apparently fantastic. I had the fish and chips which was warm to cold on the plate. The waiter however was exceptionally rude in a polite kind of way: which spoilt the meal. We had three selections of cheese which was a rip off at �12! Why can restaurants not provide more than the three biscuits?
If you can survive chilly Islington cool � I would recommend it: but it�s not cheap!
