The Landseer, Holloway

G'friend and I went for dinner a few Fridays ago. Food wasn't really up to much. I had chicken in a peculiar orange and tarragon sauce, on a soggy rosti. No thanks.

Better for Sunday roasts, chilling out with the papers etc, I think.

Not a bad pub overall - not a particularly good gastropub though, certainly not a patch on The Old Dairy or St John.

The Bree Louise, Euston

Watched the Grand National in here last Saturday. Sat right next to a deafeningly loud telly, resulting in some mild banter with some friendly locals.

I also enjoyed the Oyster Stout, as recommended by the landlord, who seemed friendly.

My co-drinker said it had had a paint job and had consequently lost some of its 'old man' charm, but overall a good place.

The Phoenix, Victoria

Decent, slightly anonymous gastro pub. Not much competition round there though.
