The Crown, Islington

Best pub in London. But if you don't live in Barnsbury, go to your own local and leave this one to us.

The Elk in the Woods, Islington

Tricky one this; the staff are great, but the food and the drinks are abysmal. Had a 'venison' burger yesterday and without exaggeration, I got a lump of ciabatta with what appeared to be a beef burger from the tescovalue frozen food range. It was embarrassingly bad, and for 10 quid (paid, to avoid causing a fuss in front of the bird), probably about �9.90's worth of profit for the Elk. Avoid at all costs.
