Finch's Pub in Islington

Great pub and tremendous staff, really enjoyed it and will be back next time I'm in London for more delicious pints of hells

Excellent service, friendly assistance. Food variety!

Never been here before. Very nice staff and good beers. Good atmosphere

What a wonderful welcoming and friendly bar. Stumbled across this place and we were looked after wonderfully. See you again very soon.

We booked in advance as we were a large group. Food and drinks are great, ambience on point and not to mention the excellent service provided by Hannah and her staff. They were all very friendly and attentive. Me and my friends left really happy. Definitely recommend!!!

My partner and I had a great dinner last night! The atmosphere when we walked in was really warm and welcoming. Candles lit and lights that were not too bright. We shared the battered king prawns and wild mushroom croquettes then I had the steak with garlic butter and my partner had the fish and chips, not forgetting a bottle of Bordeaux. It was all super tasty! We would definitely return!

Breakfast is delicious, full English for me was a great size. Shakshuka was also a winner at our table. The team there are warm, attentive and create a relaxed and friendly place we found ideal for breakfast time. Lovely to find a place with atmosphere for breakfast, much better than the faceless, functional places nearby. We’ll see you again soon!

Great place and amazing service! We had the room downstairs for a work meeting followed by drinks at the bar and some delicious food. Highly recommended it!

I always come to Finchs when in Moorgate, the food is always great and service is friendly and attentive. Highly recommended and will be back again!

Perfect service from Hannah & team, food was fab

Had a delicious meal here last night and the beer and service was on point. Really recommend.

Absolutely blown away by Hannah's exceptional service! From her warm welcome to her expert recommendations, every moment at the pub was delightful. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her customers truly set her apart. Can't wait to return!

Lovely breakfast. Great music!!

Good English breakfast and a delicious cappuccino. Battery recharged and ready for a new day in London. Thank you.

Lovely, knowledgable staff, a great wine list with good by the glass options and good food. They organised beer buckets and sharing platters for us upon arrival!

Great atmosphere and lovely food, we had the fish and chips. Good options of soft drinks on offer and the staff we’re really helpful.

Stopped for a spot of breakfast this morning before heading to a meeting in the city. Service with a smile and delicious breakfast. I had the poached eggs on toast, with smoked salmon. The portions were really generous and eggs perfectly gooey. Thanks for a great start to the day.

Great place to meet colleagues and friends after work

Booked Henrys Den for a training session, Hannah and her team were extremely accomodating and friendly - always present but not in the way. Food was delicious will be back!

I would definitely not be giving this a top rated place to eat. We went for a work meal of 20 people and the food was poor. The fish from the fish and chips was overcooked, we ordered a sharer of baked camembert and they give you all of 6-7 small bread pieces and charge £24 for it. The waiter tried to palm us off with the wrong chips when we ordered the truffle tripple cooked ones. A few weeks back we had gone as well and again the sharer is definitely not for 3-5 people to share, that is a lie. They also did not provide us with the sandwich menu when clearly you could see other people were ordering sandwiches. This is a poor pub and I would not go there ever again even if its for a work outing.

Very good location and competitive prices. Just had a morning coffee and snack so can't really give 5 stars in all categories, as it wouldn't be a fair experience to make such a judgement, but service was undoubtedly 5 stars!

Super staff Ella very helpful and friendly. The children's first morning tea - they loved it and the extra consideration from Ella made it more special for them. All in all a wonderful treat and a tasty morning tea for all of us. Unhurried and relaxing too. We will definitely be back. shout out to super staff Ella! The children's would love to see you on there next visit.

really enjoyable evening, nice ale selection and super helpful staff.

Visited today for lunch with a business partner. Overall impression was average - the rattan style chairs on our table were falling apart. A warm welcome from the single member of staff serving - she did her best but a tall order to be running the bar, clearing tables, making coffee and serving food. Let’s talk about the food. I can honestly say that when I ordered an orzo pasta salad that I would be served a salad made from pasta. Instead I was handed a plate of lettuce drowned in cheap olive oil with some plain orzo pasta thrown in. Few pieces of sun dried tomato (also drowned in oil) on the top - £13. If we hadn’t been entertaining I’d have sent it back (a colleague also ordered the same - and felt the same way). It would be so easy to add some flavour to this bland tasting oil soaked plate of lettuce - please think this menu option through again.

Amazing atmosphere! My first time there as i work around corner! Definitely will not be my last! DJ Chef was playing last night and he had Amazing taste in music and cater for every need. Definitely will be back!

Was recently at a wedding reception here. Food was delicious, the ham and cheese croquettes were especially lush. Staff were wonderful and lovely. Great place.

Ella and Hanni are superstars! They did an epic job looking after our group having work drinks.

Quick review. We went in for breakfast today (21 February), and both the food and coffee were better than we hoped for. Granola, a vegetarian breakfast and a superb brakfast scotch egg were ordered and eaten with great enjoyment. The main purpose of this is to praise the member of staff who dealt with our order. She was polite, attentive and eager but not intrusive. She dealt with customers and a delivery with a quiet charm that I wish was more common. I wish I had asked her name, she is an asset to the establishment and hope she is valued and paid accordingly.

Amazing pub and even more amazing staff. Made to feel at home by the lovely Ella, Hannah and team. See you guys again soon.

I was really impressed with Finch's overall. Decor & Environment were lovely. We were seated downstairs and it felt very private and secluded. We were waited on very attentively but not overbearingly by the wait staff. The communications team were also excellent prior to us arriving. The whole group was thoroughly happy with the food that came. Wine list was excellent as well. 10/10. Would definitely return.

Wonderful place with perfect service! Will be back.

I love Finch’s and what’s not to love about this place. From decor to food this place is a 10 on 10 for me. The beautiful bar coloured in soothing green, beautiful seating, lighting creates a beautiful ambience. After your eyes have soaked in the beauty this place has to offer, order some food and you won’t be disappointed. I love their scotch eggs which come with sprinkled Parmesan, it’s amazing balanced, they use the same sausage for their sausage roll which has this perfect flaky pastry. I recommend this place a 100 percent. And I almost forgot, they have painting classes every Saturday at Finch’s, so sip your mimosa and let the colours take you away :)

Booked a table for midday for 2 people. It took 15 mins before we were given Menu's and offered drinks ( I also had to go to the bar to ask for one as noone attended our table), Ordered our food by 12.10.... we sat there and waited for an hour and despite us asking twice our food never arrived. Many other customers who had arrived after us received their food. An hour to wait for basic Sausage and Mash is very very poor. Needless to say after an hour of waiting we told the staff we could not wait any longer so cancelled the order. Wont be returning

Cozy and quiet cafe on a weekday.. we tried their ShakshukA which was a bit soupy but definitely tasty! The staff was really sweet and welcoming. A calm place if you plan to work from here…

Nous voulions un bon brunch brittish et nous avons été un peu déçu. Le lieu est très joli et le personnel attentionné mais les plats sont très légers, bons mais pas assez copieux. Nous n’avons pas trouvé le brunch qui nous fait tenir toute la journée comme nous le recherchions. Cela dit les plats sont bien présentés et originaux. 💛

Had a Brucnch and Shakshouka from the menu haven't stand next to the propper Shakshouka. It was just tined tomatoes and one eggs.

Kid and family friendly place. friendly staff. Food and drink reasonable.. What more do you need. Thank you

Not enough staff behind the bar

My main course of sea bass with potatoes was pretty solid and well made, but other dishes, especially the dessert was below par. I had an apple crumble which tasted like it came out of a freezer and the flavours were synthetic and the texture of the whole dish was completely wrong. I know I might be sounding like some sort of a nasty food critic, but this is true of the meal I had. Overall, the price of what I had came to some £50 and it was not worth even half of that amount. The atmosphere in the place is also pretty bland. I just don't like this place as much as other places in the area or in London.

Friday evening at 6.30pm and the pub was buzzing and wall to wall. Table booked for 7pm, seated without issue. Waited nearly an hour for our meals and drinks ordered via the QR app on the table. Three of us, one main each, two sides to share and two drinks. The food, when it arrived, was average. I left my ring in the ladies toilet. No reply to email to see if it was handed in. No one answers the phone either. The venue itself is great.

Decent City boozer. Good range of drinks, nice staff. Can get a bit packed sometimes

Very busy after work, most tables seem to get booked out so if going on a Thurs/Fri in a group get there early or book a table. Staff are very friendly and quick, the bar has a nice old but new feel to it.

It's fine. Another Young's pub serving the same boring beers, soapy Neck Oil, etc. One member of staff was particularly friendly though.

This pub is my new favourite It has great decor with candles everywhere, it's like the british reinterpretation of a rive gauche bistrot We were greeted by a lovely young lady and by a charming Italian gentleman He gave us a new world wines grand tour and helped the chaps with the beer selection It was so nice that I've almost forgot to get my train home Definitely worth another visit

We had drinks here after work, and the atmosphere was great without being too noisy and loud like other places. Service at the bar was also really nice.

wonderful! :) we have been there to try fish and chips and it was delicious, also the beers were good and super particular. I don’t know his name, but we met a man (from italy, like us) working there and he was super kind. we had such a great time. if we’ll ever come back to London, i think we’ll return there:)

Was in London for a few things to go and the weather turned for the worst so we needed somewhere to pop into for the weather to die down and we wouldn't of picked a nicer little spot, only got drinks and it was relatively empty for just after lunch but it still had nice atmosphere. The two staff that were on (Tuesday 15th Nov) we're really friendly and helpful too! Would come back for longer next time!

Great pub. Good beer selection.

The entire team were passionate and inviting. The food and wine is second to none in the area and would highly recommend to anyone outside Brixton area to make the trip and indulge in the intimacy and charm of this place. It was magical and I’m under it’s spell

Had a black coffee which was decent.

The decor is great The staff is helpful and friendly I had a fish and chips with a glass of white and I would indulge in a second one if I had more time

I was meeting a friend for lunch who was hosting a training seminar nearby. At first we thought we'd dine at the outdoor restaurant in the square, but it was raining. We then looked in at a sushi place but that seemed to crowded. Half a block down the street we saw Finch's and they were perfect. Finch's is a warm and inviting English Pub with a bar and cozy seating in the rear. The staff were welcoming, the food delicious and the prices fair and reasonable. I would definetly come here again.

We had another great night at this pub: excellent service, wonderful food and great atmosphere. Even though I live quite far away, this may become my local!

Had a burger and pint of Neck Oil. The Neck Oil was pretty flat, the bar person kindly poured me another one but it wasn't great. Ordered an £18 burger at the bar and was charged over £20 because they added a service charge, which I think is ridiculous. The burger tasted great, as did the chips. It was a Saturday night and pretty quiet. Probably a nice place for a quiet drink.

Had a stunning breakfast here with a work colleague. Best breakfast in a very longtime. I will be returning. Staff were friendly and efficient 🙂

I feel sad about this place. The bar is absolutely lovely and could be amazing. We booked a private room for 20 people. We were holding a staff recognition night and celebrating my semi retirement. The service was awful. My team waited 45 mins for their first drink. We had checked in the week before that we would be able to play our own music and this was confirmed. Even though they knew we were coming, nothing was ready or checked and the staff could not get the music working. Not ideal for a party. The service was so slow and the barman kept disappearing so people were constantly waiting for drinks. We spoke to who we thought was the manger but she was complacent and it felt like she couldn’t be bothered to turn things around for us. By 8pm they had run out of coke so we gave up and luckily managed to secure a last minute booking at the London cocktail club on worship street, who saved our night. The food was great at finch’s and it’s such a shame the service and staff let it down. I really hope they can improve things.

Everything great about this pub. It's my work local, and I'll keep going back

A great spot for drinks and food. Wonderful staff. Burgers are fantastic.

Superb pub, lovely team, we hired the private room which was a gem of a find.

Great service, amazing selection of beers. Had a sandwich that was super delicious! Definitely coming back for more!

What you really have to do to succeed in the morning trade is be able to serve coffee, arnd try not to stuff up simple food orders. But it is beyond them. Second time now they haven't been able to manage these things. Pity as it's such a good looking venue.

Had a PHENOMENAL going away party (private karaoke hang in the basement, we brought our machine/mics, about 20 ppl), everything was perfect! The vibe is great, gorgeous setting, incredible staff, price was FANTASTIC! Very communicative manager, Hannah and Dom were beyond helpful/lovely!

We stopped for a quick brunch on the way to a nearby appointment. We had not heard of Finch’s and we were just lucky to walk in. We were impressed by the interior decoration and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Our food was delicious and the staff were friendly and very welcoming. The coffee was the best we have had this year and we noticed that there was a good selection of beer so perhaps the next visit will be one evening. Definitely worth visiting.

Fantastic friendly service with delicious food. Excellently decorated and we look forward to visiting again.

Spent a lovely evening drinking and eating in this really nice bar. The venue has a lovely vibe and a rustic feel, and the staff are friendly and courteous. The drinks and food were well presented and really tasty too, and the clientele seemed content with the world and happy too. Really nice venue, will definitely visit again.

Stopped off for a few beers and some very tasty imaginative food. Tapas style. Perfect.

What a find! We started upstairs and when it got a bit busy as it was a Thursday night we headed downstairs to their cosy cocktail bar. We enjoyed some great bar snacks, a great selection of wines by the glass and the service was excellent. Will definitely come again!

Went for some drinks with friends, couldn’t have chosen a better spot. Lovely atmosphere and the nicest staff (our bartenders name was Aldo)

Very satisfied with food and service. Best burger ever

Unintentionally happened upon this gem, loved the decor + atmosphere and the staff were super attentive. 100% will be returning

A hidden gem with a good selection of food and drinks. I was unsure what to drink but the staff recommended something I wouldn't normally go for that was really tasty. The area downstairs is cozy and intimate, great for a date night.

Great people. Walked in for a quick drink and asked to use the disabled toilets as i suffer from ocd, in which they understood and allowed me too. Very nice and understanding people will for sure come in again in the Nate future as I work 10 mins away and it’s on my route to and from work.

Amazing food and great atmosphere. Super friendly stuff. Great selection of drinks. Strongly recommended.

Inconsistent opening times, overpriced food and drink not in line with quality, unfriendly staff and definitely thrives based on where it is vs what it delivers.

Amazing place with a great selection of drinks and food. Upstairs had a good atmosphere, the downstairs area is pretty cool and staff are very nice. Would definitely recommend!

Closed at 9.45 on a Friday because it was quite and despite says it closes at 11pm (don’t organise birthday parties here)

I only popped in for 1 drink befire an event but will definitely go back to try and add the extra star. Really busy night so I was surprised that the server was so quick and friendly with the service. Nice pint but remember that you are paying London prices

Excellent service and food. Very friendly staff. Thank you

Nice little pub! Would recommend visiting

Lunch in the city and tasty it was too, tad pricey but that's the world we live in. Good beer selection and a great hake starter. Worth stopping in

Fantastic friendly service - great interior and the food! Best breakfast ever. Totally recommend! Loved it. Prosecco, great selection of beers, full English, bacon straws and a sausage sandwich!

The Service couldn’t be better. I can say that the whole team provided a very warm welcoming to me and my friends. The pub it doesn’t smells like others in Uk 🇬🇧 thanks to the team that they are looking after the cleaning the whole day. The table are also tidy up and clean of glasses. As soon as you finish, there is always someone picking up the dirty staff. Congratulations 🥳

What a lovely comfortable place, I just don't remember leaving, perhaps I am still here

Lovely atmosphere, comfy sofa. Lovely bar staff

We preordered and received wrong items…

Fit for (large) groups, with a basement dancing area for private bookings. Pleased to find decent F&B and excellent service

Local to a few offices around, generally busy, so book if you want a seat/table. Generally good service, occasionally could be more polite around closing time when they want you out

Great, cosy, casual space for a little party of 10. Every need was accommodated for, food was lovely, service impeccable and staff friendly. Highly recommend Finch's for anyone who wants a personal touch, great drinks/cocktails and food and intimate atmosphere. Definitely will go back again.

Great pub, food and drink great, Spanish barmaid is lovely and in no way made me post this. 😀

Great classic pub, but with a good selection of food choice which actually is tasty! Very friendly staff as well, they also do table orders.

Good service, atmosphere and no long waits for drinks!

We popped in for a few pints with friends. Amanda was friendly and welcoming. It made us stay for a few more. Something not often experienced these days in pubs, a welcoming vibe. So, thank you!

Great BLT lunch. Good service. Would recommend.

A bit pricey, but there's a reason for that as the food quality is amazing. Genuinely, the best triple cooked chips I've ever had.

Food was great as was service. Slow as they were very busy but kept us up to date all the time

Always a decent beer in a decent space. Often busy so it must be doing something right. You'll need to get there early if you want to grab a table, or try reserving one instead.

Booked a table to meet here with a group of friends as pre drinks before a visit to a venue over the road. Was served by a lovely lady called Lisa, who was very friendly and helpful, cocktails were lovely . Would recommend it to...

Lovely building and friendly staff. Unfortunately we visited on a Saturday when the lunch menu is rather limited, but the fish and chips were very tasty and fresh.
