Marquess Tavern in Islington

What a change! Unfortunately there is a change off management called LYDIA. Very unprofessional can’t even open a bottle of wine! Unapproachable and extremely unfriendly, that’s the is a personality that can’t be changed. I am just lost for words how 1 person is able to destroy the whole atmosphere. Time to find new local!!

Had drinks and food here a young crowd Nice and chilled Good seating if you just want a drink

Kind staff! Was wondering around looking for a nice spot… found it here! Sasha was lovely and very welcoming

Absolutely wild. Took an hour to take our order and another 90 minutes (with about 5 chases) to discover they lost our order.

We visited the pub after having been told that a full refurbishment had taken place- the whole experience was a disaster from start to finish this Sunday- firstly we were brought an open bottle of wine to our table without the waiter knowing this had been opened, we then proceeded to find a member of the team to order food, after an hours delay one main course arrived and sat at our table before our starters, we questioned this with the bar staff who told us to forget our sides for the mains and hopefully the starters would arrive shortly, they did however the mains were no where to be seen half an hour went by and still no sign, my partners main was now cold and we had lost patients so went to the bar to say we were leaving, our order had been lost from the till systems which meant we had to quote what we had actually had, we paid for the wine and left. This is such as shame as we live around the corner, we were excited for the Tavern to be as it used to be a vibrant place with great food.

Great selection of food and nice staff. Really lovely and vivid. Great atmosphere. Along the canal. I recommend. Good Sunday roast and choice of wine.

Unspoilt old boozer, seriously excellent Sunday roast, served very nice people. Cheers all, we loved it.

Very long wait for food (1 hour 15 minutes) and food wasn’t that warm. Food was tasty. Still charged an automatic 12.5% service charge, though.

I love this pub, it’s one of my favourite pubs. Some of the worst food I’ve ever had. Honestly, come here for drinks it’s one of the nicest pubs in the area but really never order food here, it’s awful lol. Like rly rly rly bad. I paid £31 for a dryyyyyy asss steak with a claggy sauce and some cold chips. Person I was with got a Schnitzel that he said tasted like school dinner chicken, not necessarily terrible but not great… but honestly I really love this pub and I’m rly sad the food was this bad

What a shame, came by here last week and thought I’d stop off for a lunchtime pint, as said in a previous review the lights where on but nobody was home, the doors where locked and this was at 1:30pm This obviously isn’t a pub on a busy high street so people come to this pub to specifically try the marquess tavern. If it’s not open when people like myself come here specifically this is obviously not good. There wasn’t anything on the pubs instagram or Google page to suggest it wouldn’t be open. Not even a note in the door to say anything. So annoying!

Update August 2024 Literally the best Sunday roast in the area with superb sides and trimmings. Excellent friendly staff and beautiful traditional interiors. Huge portions with delicious roast potatoes, carrots, parsnips, leeks in cheese, Yorkshire pudding, bread sauce too! The cauliflower cheese side was crispy and had a delicious bite to it. The Chicken schnitzel was crispy and light and not oily or deep fried as is often the case! Great desserts, spoilt for choice. Highly recommend. Pleasant gastropub in the heart of Canonbury. The Marquess tavern is an old established pub with two beer gardens, front and rear, a dining area to the rear and casual tables dotted around the pub. Reservations are accepted here, advisable on Sundays and weekend evenings. Food is good but above average pricing for the quality and area.

We had a gathering here, after my mum's funeral. Food and service were great! Staff were really friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Justin and Chris. Would recommend as a place to have a function.

Lovely pub. Some staff seemed to be in training and service was a bit hit or miss. But food was good.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was lovely and it was a lovely pub overall

Second visit. Very quiet at lunchtime. Clean loos but no soap etc to wash hands. Will definitely be back Thanks

Recently had a great experience at such a difficult time, two funerals in the space of a month. Had the wake at the Marquess Tavern & am still amazed at the compassion & service we received by the staff. Our family & friends all commented on the staff, they were kind & considerate. The food was delicious, so we had the second wake there too. Highly recommend these guys, give them a visit, they're a fab group of people & you will not be disappointed. Thank you all again as a family we are very grateful.

I had the £12 weekday lunch deal: a sandwich or light lunch plus a glass of house wine, beer or soft drink. I chose the small fish and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce. Everything was homemade and the fish was exceptional. I had a glass of lovely, dry white wine with it. Great service and excellent value.

I visited on Sunday for the roast and.. it didn’t disappoint! The beef roast was lovely, the portion generous and the gravy was banging. The starters are also very good and the staff attentive

Back to 1 star after learning about how the new mgmt treats staff, take the best table at the back as their office, etc. Not coming back until mgmt changes (yet once again). Editing my review. After some time of bad food after the covid reopening, food lately has been very good. Spencer and the team give great service thanks to their outgoing, friendly personality.

Went there for lunch. Nice bartender, helpful, polite and friendly. Nice food.

Had a family meal & drinks. The pub had a lovely feel to it and the food was fantastic. Charlie was really nice & welcoming. We will be back.

Me and my now wife celebrated getting our marriage license here in a group of 15 friends. The pub staff made us feel super welcome and taken care of. We were given our own space and even TV to use for entertainment. The food, according to our guests was really really great too. Overall, this is a lovely pub in a lovely neighbourhood with lovely staff! Thank you for making our day!

Came here for dinner before a gig at Union Chapel, booked because the food menu look good with reasonable prices. Turned out to be a really great find Felt like a real local's pub with friendly bar staff and customers and we felt at home straight away. Food was amazing, we all had something different and my dad said his pie was the best he's ever had (high praise), and he now wants to go back and try everything else on the menu. If we are ever over Highbury and Islington way again this is the pub we will be going to.

Good service,roomy,lovely building,family friendly,good food and lager.

I attended The Marquess Tavern for their food tasting event. We were greeted by Spencer who showed us to our table. I ordered a few drinks (JD and coke) which were made exactly how I like it to be honest. Charlie explained how the evening would be and it didn't disappoint. There was an array of food which for me personally, I enjoyed it all. As Charlie brought the food out he explained what each dish was. Starters Soup with sour dough bread Jam on bread Sliced meat, olives, cheese, houmous Mains Chicken pasta Lamb and potatoes Vegetarian rice Dessert Apple strudel and custard Apple and rhubarb crumble with ice cream As I .eentiined I and my family enjoyed everything we ate. My daughter doesn't eat custard, Charlie generously gave her two bowls of crumble and ice cream to make up for it. The Marquess is a lovely place, good space clean toilets and brilliant staff, didn't get the names of the young man and woman behind the bar but, both were friendly and polite. I will definitely be going back, wish I'd been there sooner. Fabulous evening Be proud of yourselves to everybody who made the evening what it was.

Patio in the afternoon sun. Perfect for a drink and bite!

Great pub brilliant food and lovely service

This was a nice little, accidental find. Kind of tucked away among the leafiness of Islington, it was bigger and brighter than expected. Popped in for a pint when I wasn't ready to go home, but my friends, with a young child, were. The place has a snug hideaway, which you can hire for secret parties; a pretty good menu; and an alright choice of beers, although the hunt for a pub that does a range of good ciders, not high sugar, fruity nonsense, continues. Staff were friendly, even during a mini card machine failure crisis. Its got 'nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon' vibes. I reckon you could take a board game there, and fit right in. They might have their own.

Excellent customer service, lovely food and very child friendly. Plenty of high chairs and Charlie and the team made us feel welcome and relaxed.

Me and my wife went to this pub as it was the nearest to where we are staying in London for a few days. So pleased we did! Acknowledged and welcomed as soon as we walked in. The staff were friendly and helpful. We ordered four items from the bar snacks menu to share between us, which arrived promptly. Amazing food, absolutely delicious. Didn’t think we would manage to eat it all, but we did! All credit to the chef and staff at The Marquess Tavern for making our night very enjoyable.

Cosy little gem, great atmosphere, incredible food. Sunday roast to die for! The roast pork was amazing! We also tried the vegan hot dogs which were so tasty. Would highly recommend for a pint or a bite

I was keen to visit this old haunt of mine so, despite the atrocious weather, I walked for just over 20 minutes to get there, arriving 10 minutes after the advertised opening. The lights were on, but, but no one was home. Nobody answered the phone. I wish I could comment on the following categories but obviously I can’t. I won’t be going back, no wonder its reputation locally is so poor.

I popped in for a couple of pints of ale with some friends, it was early afternoon on a Friday and was very quiet. I am looking forward to returning in the summer and I hope to try the food next time. Great location, just by the river.

Great pub, good beer, reasonable prices. Jordan was a very friendly barman who made us feel very welcome with his charming banter. Will definitely visit again 😁

Me and my friends went down when k returned after leaving the UK and the choice couldn't be better. Delicious food, really nice drinks, fantastic atmosphere and incredible service. Special mention to Spenzer, couldn't find any better persom at the service bar to make my night perfect. thanks thanks and thanks

This is a really lovely pub. The staff were nice, food was great, and there was a nice vibe.

Living locally, i'd always rated this pub as a good off radar local for a quiet mid-week pint. Unfortunately our experience today was terrible, and we wont be back anytime soon. Whilst the main crowd was the usual mix of sunday families out seeking a roast in a quaint pub setting, the atmosphere was instead totally dominated by the pub owner/manager (the guy with glasses, who I see other reviews have mentioned) and 5 or so of his loud and obnoxious friends, all grossly intoxicated and yelling/singing loudly and inappropriately while huddled around the bar. Not to mention continually venturing behind the bar to endlessly skip tracks and force play their (frankly horrendous) music choices at increasingly deafening volume, to the point that we struggled to hear each other speaking at our table. It felt like, instead of a pub, we had unwittingly ended up in the garden room of someones wierd 16yo cousin, who had invited his school mates over drink beers and take pills for the first time while his parents were away for the weekend. The staff working seemed to fall in to 2 camps. Either they were completely disintersted in serving and more keen just to hang out chatting/drinking with the owners mates. Otherwise, those that were actually doing anything, seemed downtrodden with a mix of glib defeatism and embarrasement - the kind of sad expression you see on a 13yo kid who's parents have drunk way too much and become a complete embarrassment at a family wedding. It is sad to see a local pub with such great potential being continually squandered. Please do better Marquess.

Good value beefburger and fries, very tasty! Smallish but varied and interesting menu. Friendly and welcoming staff, excellent range of cask beers as well as keg. Food served on quiet nights when many other pubs don't bother opening their kitchens which is worth knowing. Will definitely be back again

Quiet and cosy, good for a 30th celebration I attended, mostly quick service but some staff were a bit surly, refusing to serve because it wasn't their job despite being behind the bar? A nice evening in a lovely venue

A lovely pub to visit with family for a Sunday lunch. I had the veggie option which was delicious. And the carnivore in our party said the roast beef was good too. Our small child was also very well catered for. Can also recommend the sticky toffee pudding. Service was fab!

A very nice shabby pub in Islington, near a canal, nice walks, remote from the hustle and bustle of London.

Nice pub but lacked a little something. Above average but I wouldn't rave about it.

Our new local. Absolutely love it here ,very chilled atmosphere and authentic old English pub. Beer garden is very cosy. Great food and wonderful pints of Guinness. The staff there at the moment are top notch, sound lads!

Superb roast, lovely staff, a great find and we will be back!!

It's a very nice pub with good food. We often come here on a school night.

Roast beef was tough and done in,most of the tables were dirty and sticky, pub wasn’t busy but staff were busy with each other and bordering on ignoring customers It’s a young vibe with squeals and bad service/food unfortunately.

Popped in for a quick lunch on a Monday - we used to come here about 15 years ago. A new manager has recently taken over and they have plans to revamp their menu so watch this space. Food was pretty good - I had the Cumberland ring sausage with green lentils, which was nice; albeit arrived suspiciously quickly from the kitchen. Fingers crossed for this place as it’s a beautiful pub and has the potential to be amazing.

Just had a terrible meal here! At 7 in the evening they had no fish and chips left, therefore ordered a butternut squash main course instead. This came out on a tiny plate with two thin pieces of butternut squash and some wilted spinach leaves. Apparently this was how it was supposed to be for £16!!!! Also had a glass of Prosecco which was obviously the dregs of the bottle and was completely flat. Bar staff totally uninterested in resolving these issues!

The best roast I’ve had in ages, best service too x

I've been coming here quite a few times and I always liked it before. Used to have really good food for a fair price... Now the food was very underwhelming. I had the roast squash and when I was eating it I thought it seemed a bit bare, just squash, spinach, red onion and pomegranate. I looked at the menu again and I saw it was supposed to come with butter bean purée and almonds that was missing. £14 for the main and £4 for a very small bowl of chips. Overall the portions were quite small, my friend went to get chicken wings after since he was still hungry...

Supporting local while visiting family is important

This pub is always reinventing itself: in the time we've lived in the area, it's been a pub for locals, a gastro pub with very expensive expensive prices and not great food, and more recently a decent friendly local with reasonable prices and good footfall. However, on our last visit, it seemed to be being run by children. There weren't many customers in and the staff were so noisy that my partner couldn't hear what I was saying, despite me repeating myself many times. She suggested saying something to the four staff (two of whom were coming off their shift) behind the bar, who were shrieking about something on one of their phones and completely oblivious to the fact that they were in charge of a pub. I said that we shouldn't say anything, as then we wouldn't ever be able to come back (we only live down the road), but we did give them a very disapproving look. This prompted an extremely rude response from three of the four staff. They clearly didn't care if we were paying customers or not. The more senior person suggested that we move to a quieter part of the pub if the staff were disturbing us but she stood by her staff rather than offering an apology for their playground 'what you looking at?' type rudeness. If the owners continue to employ such inexperienced and immature staff, customers will vote with their feet. The staff just didn't seem to compute that the customers that they were so rude to pay their wages and pay the pub's rent. We wouldn't dream of going back there, sadly, until there's a change of management. We wouldn't expect to be spoken to like that in any context, let alone when we're paying customers.

Great staff, great atmosphere, lovely place for a beer

The pub itself is in a great location, with a gorgeous interior. We went in there for Sunday lunch, and were sadly disappointed. Initial impression was very good. Staff were attentive, friendly and charming, and served us a drink as we took our seats. Unfortunately the food simply wasn’t up to standard. We both ordered a roast; the meat was dry and inexpertly cut. The vegetables were damp and flaccid, and the gravy was essentially just brown, meat-scented water. It’s a terrible shame that such a nice place was let down so badly. I wish I could be kinder to the Marquess, it’s a lovely pub and the people were charming. Stick to drinks if you come here.

Nice pub that feels as if it’s lost it’s way recently. Would not currently recommend this as somewhere to go and eat.

Fantastic cosy little pub. Had Sunday lunch here and it was excellent - food was well cooked and delicious. The staff are young, but attentive, helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

My secret haven for a midweek ale while my daughter is at maths club round the corner) absolutely love my Wednesday 😂 superb pub 🙏🏻

The best roast we've had in London. Fair enough, compared to most of our experiences they only needed to get it to the table! But, honestly, the lamb and the beef melts in your mouth, delicious! To top it all, great staff.

Beautiful pub in a quiet location. A chain pub for Young's so expect it to heavily push their brews.

Nice pub, stopped in there for an impromptu drink as I was doing the New River Walk. It's in a great location and the staff seemed friendly. I hope I get a chance to return c

Had a meal here on December 4th at lunch time. It was one of the worst meals i have .ever tasted.The girl behind the bar was lovely and friendly.Very ill today as a result so dissapointed.Wont be back

The place itself could be nice, but it's unfortunately overshadowed by the very poor service. The waitress completely ignored me standing at the nearly empty bar and when I finally got served, it took ages until they got their payment system running. Business isn't an excuse when the pub is nearly empty.

Stopped here for a pint of beer after lockdown and it closing down as a Youngs establishment (i think). It's tremedous. Not too busy yet but the ale is excellent (five points best). Haven't tried the food but this would be spot on for the Christmas party of my dreams... Large regency (?!) boozer and well furnished.

Lovely pub with friendly staff and delicious food.

Me and my partner stopped by for a quick drink having noticed the pub has reopened after such a long time, while there we decided to try out some dishes on their new menu, we were pleasantly surprised as the food was delicious . We will certainly be back to try out some of the other dishes. The staff and service was on point too, extremely friendly and attentive.

Stopped by this delightful pub for a couple glasses of wine - ended up ordering from the food menu and was pleasantly surprised- fresh and tasty with good size portions. The bar staff were attentive, I drank wine but did notice a decent selection of drinks. Will be back again

I was blown away by the meal I ordered (The lamb with potato gratin and asparagus) The taste was outstanding and I am still telling people about it now. The staff are so friendly and lovely and the decor is beautiful. A very relaxing place to go for a drink or meal any day or time of the week. I will be going back very soon and it will definitely become a regular spot for me.

Called in for a quick drink and ended up staying for a meal which we thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely surroundings and good selection of beers.We heard that the pub is under new management and the staff are a credit. Very friendly. Would return

Called for a drink and something to eat following my tour of The Emirates. Everything was spot on. Good food and drink at reasonable prices. Service was good and the premises were spotlessly clean. Would be sure to revisit if I am back in the area.

Disappointing Sunday lunch, food quality has really gone down with new management, which is a shame. Menu is now quite small. Meat for roast was very poor, pork crackling was inedible, food was cold. Its a real shame as we used to like the food here

The Marquess is now under new management.It is no longer masquerading as a restaurant but has been restored as a very welcoming local pub. The staff are very friendly. Apparently the pub is no longer owned by Youngs but has been acquired by Punch Taverns,consequently the ales currently being served are Timothy Taylor’s and Tribute,both well kept. I would definitely recommend a visit if you live locally or are in the area .

Friendly staff. Amazing food! Best pub in the area!!

This was the most awful customer service I have ever experienced. The manager/owner accused me of lying about confirming my table with a member of staff, went on a long rant about how we have been uncontactable (I have the record of the call on my phone) and that they would never serve a group larger than 8 and if anyone else turned up they would be refused. The pub was empty apart from 2 other tables. Her tone was rude, patronising and I honestly cannot understand why anyone who works with the public would behave in this manner. This was a birthday booking (which she was aware of as she mentioned it in her rant) and she ruined a perfectly nice family lunch. We left and did not eat. Truly bizarre behaviour from someone who runs a pub, I can see from other reviews she has been this rude to other customers. The other waitresses we spoke to were lovely but I would not recommend giving this woman your money.

El propietario / gerente (como nos dijo varias veces) es increíblemente grosero. Nunca he experimentado una experiencia más condescendiente e innecesariamente grosera. A los 5 minutos de llegar, nuestro grupo de 13 decidió irse debido a la forma en que nos trató. No recomendaría este lugar a nadie y desde que leí las críticas me di cuenta de que no solo nosotros hemos recibido este tratamiento.

Una experiencia absolutamente extraña en este pub, mi hija había reservado una mesa para 8 personas, cuando llegamos, el propietario / gerente comenzó un largo diálogo sobre cómo el pub aparentemente había estado tratando de contactar a mi hija desde el viernes, mi hija realmente había hablado con alguien desde el pub el viernes y le dijo esto al dueño, ella ignoró por completo a mi hija, insinuó que estaba mintiendo y continuó diciéndonos sobre la otra reserva que habíamos hecho para 5 personas, diciéndonos que si llegaban más de 5 personas se negaría para servirlos Nos hicieron sentir muy incómodos y rápidamente terminamos nuestras bebidas y nos fuimos. Ciertamente no volveremos a visitar este horrible lugar de nuevo, todos fuimos a The Scolt Head, 13 de nosotros y tuvimos una comida encantadora servida por gente agradable.

El "gerente y propietario (como le gustaba señalar) fue increíblemente grosero, y aparentemente de las otras críticas, ha sido consistentemente grosero durante años. Gran energía del director, lo cual es una pena, ya que el resto del personal era encantador. Nos obligaron a irnos antes de que pudiéramos probar la comida. Nunca más.

Reasons NOT to go to this pub for a meal 1. The only time anyone came to our table was to take an order for the main and desert - not once were we asked how the food was or if we needed any extra water, drinks or accompaniment 2. When we wanted extra drinks or accompaniments one of us had to ask at bar3. Arrived at 130 and at 3.10 asked for two double expressos and told we could not order them as the table had a two hour time limit. We still had 20 mins. 4. Went to the bar and mentioned this and told they need 20 mins to turnaround the table. It’s a bare wooden table with a paper napkin and cutlery. 5. The Sunday roast was tasteless thin pieces of beef6. The Sunday roast lacked gravy 7. The Yorkshire pudding and potatoes were dry and cold 8. Asked for mustard and given English (no other choice) and it was congealed and only one teaspoon left in the dirty jar. After waiting 15 mins for someone to walk past that worked there had to ask at the bar for a clean and new jar. 9. Every time we wanted anything had to ask at bar due to lack of service10. Ordered the desert and the Elton Mess was dry and the meringue was so hard it was inedible 11. The cheapest glass of large wine is £8 and not great 12. Bill arrived and given the wrong one so had to be given two and pay twice. They ha be us a bill from another table. 13. £33.40 per person and refused a coffee with 20 minutes to go.What a terrible experience.

Beautiful pub with amazing dining facilities, food very expensive though!

La Taberna del Marqués puede parecer un pub, pero no se deje engañar, de hecho es un PUB COMEDOR que aparentemente es muy diferente. Según la dama bastante grosera que dirige el espectáculo aquí, en este pub no se puede parar, ni usar el bar (que parece estar allí solo con fines estéticos), ni estar en un grupo de más de ocho, el servicio de mesa es obligatorio y Es probable que también le digan que su mesa ha sido reservada y su estadía se limitará a una hora, aunque es probable que el pub esté completamente vacío. Nuestra fiesta (que comenzó como un grupo de ocho y se convirtió en horror shock, diez) se hizo sentir tan desagradable que decidimos irnos. En mi opinión, lo que la administración aquí ha hecho a este hermoso edificio en esta maravillosa y apartada parte de la ciudad, junto a las orillas del Río Nuevo, es un acto de vandalismo. Evite hasta que la gerencia cambie sus formas o la administración cambie.

We were on a city tour of London and we were dropped across the street for an hour to shop and eat. It took about an hour, so no shopping. We had fish and chips that were wonderful. It was great to be in London Pub and we will always remember the good time and food we had there. Meal and drinks for two was approx $55 USD.

Tuvimos un almuerzo familiar y el alojamiento era ideal, teníamos prácticamente nuestra propia habitación 7 comensales. Muy bien equipada y decorada buena carta de vinos y tuvimos un excelente vino tinto. El entrante y los postres eran excelentes, desafortunadamente los platos principales los decepcionaron. El vientre de cerdo era difícil de cortar con un cuchillo y el crujido era duro e imposible de cortar con un cuchillo, le dijo a la camarera cuando llegó a la mesa. El tofu no era genial y regresó al chef. No se ofreció eliminar de la factura lo que uno hubiera esperado. Linguini promedio. Personal muy agradable

Had a great time at the Marquess. The staff were wonderful and the meal was excellent. I will come again.

I recently visited with my very fussy family and was chuffed that the menu catered for both me as a vegan, my daughter as a veggie and my 2 other carnivores. Veggie and vegan dishes were to die for and my meaty 2 say after that they are reaffirmed carnivores. The food was plentiful and piping hot - though not the salad thankfully. I shall return - regularly I reckon.

It’s not simple finding somewhere where my whole family wants to eat but the Marquess delivered where so many others have failed. They provided excellent food, a lively atmosphere and a waitress who tolerated the food foibles of our family of five with good humour. We will be back!

We were visiting friends in the area and had been recommended to give Marquess Tavern a visit. As I suffer with various dietary intolerances I called ahead to ask about the menu and the possible options available for me, the member of staff on the phone was very understanding and offered several options so we booked a table.

I felt that I had to drop you a line after the lovely Sunday we spent at your pub. I was hosting a family birthday and decided to let you take the strain. I just wanted to say that we really enjoyed our day, the food was great and the staff really friendly, so thank you and we hope to be dropping in again soon.

Found this pub by accident, a real gem. Lunch was lovely and the staff really helpful. Will definitely be back !

I went for Sunday lunch with my wife and daughter and booked a table for 2:00 pm.

Food ok, but not at the price. You don't have to go far to find better value for your money. That said, it's a comfortable boozer.

A menudo veníamos a la taberna de Marques hasta que este verano una camarera nos habló como una furia y con un tono abusivo. Nos fuimos después de nuestra bebida. Decidimos volver con nuestros bebés, pero el personal dijo que el pub estaba lleno y que, de hecho, estaba completamente vacío. No es posible reservar una mesa. Comenzamos a pensar que a pesar de que dicen que es familiar, simplemente nos están empujando.

El lugar estaba vacío y nos rechazaron en varias ocasiones a pesar de no poder reservar, sospechamos porque tuvimos un bebé. Fueron extremadamente antipáticos cada vez y groseros en el proceso, y nos pidieron que nos fuéramos para estar bajo la lluvia afuera con el cochecito en el instante en que nos informaron que no nos tendrían allí. Mensaje recibido alto y claro, no volveremos.

The location is sweet and the pub has a fair deal of charm. My friend got the larger roast combo and enjoyed it although I think it would be impossible for anyone to finish the whole thing. I had the vegetarian roast and it was fairly mediocre - particularly the "vegan gravy" which was tasted nothing more than water. I don't understand why this would be served, plenty of other pubs serve decent tasting vegetarian gravy, or do something else to sauce up the meal. Was also a bit offputting that we were constantly asked if we wanted more food or drinks - felt a bit pushy - given the pub was more than half empty the whole time we were there.

Food was OK but not worth money.

I'm not local to this lovely area but have eaten here a few times - with the friendly staff and attractive decor it's a good place to meet a friend (not noisy). However, this time the food wasn't up to my previous visits - an insipid swordfish nicoise was more of a collection of ingredients than a dish. Lacked seasoning but there were fragments of shell on the egg! The prices especially for drinks seem to have crept up too. Overall it was still a nice evening but I won't be in any rush to return.

Stopped here yesterday for a few beers and a burger, food and service were great and very friendly. Team are always welcoming. Will be sure to pop in next time I’m in the area again. Thanks

Good food, disrespectful service. We asked for a G&T and it was served without ice. When I asked the waitress for some ice, the person in charge of the pub yelled at me from behind the bar saying that we were informed when we arrived that the ice machine was not working, which was true. Nevertheless, I found that reaction quite out of tone. First, it could have been said in a more friendly way. Two, it's not my job to remember that they run out of ice. Three, they could have fixed the ice machine or could have gone to a store and buy some ice - knowing that it was a Saturday night in the month of July, as a consumer you expect a bar to have ice and if not to solve the problem quickly. I went through some other reviews and it seems that it's not the first time this kind of mistreatment happens in this place.

Turned up at 21:30 on a Saturday to be told they were closing as they "had no customers".

Very comfy pub with excellent food, enjoyed a traditional sunday lunch with friends. Slightly off the beaten track but means it is not over busy. Worth seeking out.

Walked here from Highbury Islington station. Great staff. Delicious Jungle Sausage dish. Chang Mai inspired spicy. Teapot needed replacing but fun staff made up for that.

Personal super amable, buena selección de bebidas, comida sabrosa con un menú completo (opciones veganas disponibles yay) y un encantador jardín trasero. Diseño ecléctico agradable en todo y algunos juegos de mesa en el interior para pasar el tiempo.
