The Junction Tavern, Kentish Town

nice pub with good food, but can never get a table and the food is expensive. the new menu at Progress Bar up the road is better value.

The Eagle, Clerkenwell

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.

Tufnells, Tufnell Park

This place has changed alot in the last couple of months, so you should check it out again. I go here regularly and they've got a new manager, new bar staff and a new chef. The food is now fantastic value. They've still got the pool tables, but I think the new owners have barred some of the more agressive types that used to come in here, so its pretty relaxed. The DJ's don't start up at the weekends until 10pm now, and build up gradually, so on the whole I give this an 8.5 / 10.
