The Highbury Barn, Islington

HAVE JUST LEFT THE HIGHBURY BARN TONIGHT, MY FRIENDS INVITED ME TO TRY THERE MENU AND WHAT A GREAT SURPRISE. HAD CARROT AND CHILLI SOUP TO START AND IT WAS SO NICE. I THEN HAD CHICKEN AND LEEK PIES WITH MASH POTATOES AND GREEN BEANS. WELL WHAT CAN I SAY THE PIE WAS OUTSTANDING, THE PASTRY WAS COOKED JUST RIGHT WITH A GOOD MIX OF HERBS ONLY PROBLEM I HAD WAS MY PARTNER EAT HALF OF IT BUT WOULD NOT SHARE HIS RIB EYE STEAK WITH ME.
IFOUND THE STAFF VERY HELPFULL AND PLEASENT AND ONE OF THEM (ANNIE) RECOMMENDED I TRY ONE OF THERE REAL ALES IN A BOTTLE, I WAS TAKEN BACK THAT THEY HAVE A CHOICE OF OVER 16 ALES FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY AND WENT FOR ONE FROM SOMMERSET WHICH WAS VERY GOOD ON THE TASTE BUDS.
WILL I GO BACK , I BOOKED FOR SUNDAY LUNCH AND NOW WILL TELL ALL MY FRIENDS TO GO THERE AND ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I HAVE.
