The Albion in Islington

Grim, homophobic experience at The Albion last night - two of the men who work there (I assume one of them is the landlord, older dude with white hair) noticed my date and I and made comments such as 'oh god, there's two women kissing over there - oh dear' - followed by, 'oh no its probably not two women, wouldn't dare assume their gender these days'. The 'landlord' then went on to stare at us for a while until we left. Hilariously, yesterday was also lesbian visibility day. Do better people.

Was a lovely time atmosphere beautiful friendly staff food is amazing worth going to eat friendly staff make you feel very welcome

We had a table booked for 2, arrived at 12:30 and were able to sit at our reserved area just at the end of the bar until after 6. Food was good, service was good, prices weren’t too bad either. The sharer chicken pie for 2 was massive and we got to take the leftovers home. It’s a busy place, they probably should remove the table by the window by the bar as it squished everything up but we personally had a lovely Saturday afternoon here.

bad service and the food came 1 hour late... and it was cold.

We booked a table for 3 people and the booking policy said we had an hour and 45 mins. Our mains were brought out before we had finished our starters and we were then asked to relocate to the garden if we wanted dessert. When we said we didnt, we were asked to pay and leave as they wanted the table for the next party. This was after 1 hr and 15 mins. We complained to the manager who said it was a miscommunication with the timings and that they thought we wanted our starters with our mains, but who has a side order of soup with a Sunday roast? They took the service charge off (which we weren't going to pay anyway) and gave us two of our drinks free so we didnt even all get a free drink. Don't waste your time or money going here.

I need to warn people that The Albion has a very draconian policy on reservation cancellations.I was forced to cancel a booking last Sunday as one of my children was very ill. Taking a vomitting child to a restaurant was not a good option for anyone. The pub does not answer the phone ( it goes to voicemail) and they claim both this message and the subsequent email were not received - both go to 'HQ' apparently and no one gets to hear of them. These were sent three hours ahead of the table reservation time. Despite explaining the circumstances the pub insists on taking a charge of 80 pounds - fair if you don't show but not in this case. So , if you wish to make a booking via Open Table, I would recommend equally good local pub/ restaurants who won't behave like this.

The pub itself is lovely and there is a great atmosphere. We went for a sunday roast and while it was decent, it was not worth the price tag. 1 slice of carrot, 1 slice of parsnip, some roast potatoes, and the meat (or in my case the vegan option), plus a yorkshire. It felt a bit scimpy for the price. The vegan butternut squash wellington was fine, but the slice was small and it tasted overwhelmingly of truffle and not much else. I would recommend the pub, but not really the food.

Really bad. Could tell the staff weren’t being treated as they should which made the whole atmosphere feel really tense.

We had been looking forward to coming here for a roast for a while, I don't know if it was because it's game day and the pub was super busy but we were barely acknowledged when we arrived and throughout our entire booking. Staff were rushing around not making eye contact with anybody and nobody was really looking after our table so we didn't manage to order until an hour after we sat down. The roasts are expensive and the price doesn't reflect the quality. The food was rushed to be cleared because they needed the table back so we had to insist on ordering dessert with the threat that we might have to move outside to eat it, the chocolate ganache was truly horrible in both presentation and taste. I rarely leave reviews and I've worked in hospitality my whole life so I feel for the team if they were understaffed but £150 for a table of three with no alcoholic drinks and having to beg to be served means I wouldn't recommend coming here and I won't be rushing to come back.

Visited for lunch in the week and the pub was very quiet. The staff were helpful and pleasant with us having a choice of tables. The burgers were £19 and were excellent although I was surprised there was very little salad on the plate. The chips were sublime however. We were able to sit in the bar which was light but note that the more formal dining rooms are rather dark. I shall return but avoid week-ends.

The service was a little slow. Yes, they were busy and they did apologise it took so long for our roasts to arrive, but then they took a long time to come back once we’d finished and to take payment. We had to go up to the bar to pay in the end.

Sunday roast was lovely! Only minor complaint would be that the sides are too small for the price. We tired the beef and lamb both perfectly cooked and the sticky toffee pudding was amazing!

Poor service, terrible food. Went for Sunday lunch and it was bland and tasteles. Service is non existent. Place was dirty. We wouldn’t go back.

Great food, lovely setting. Hopefully the ladies loos will be fixed soon.

The starters were excellent, fish and chips good and sticky toffee lovely. However, the burger was poor. A small, tight, overcooked patty with a small amount of cheese and some iceberg lettuce with the chunky chips on a white plate looked more likely to found in a motorway service station. I queried it with a server but apparantly that's how it is supposed to be served. When most pubs have realised even should get some thought and care, this just seemed out of place. As did the experience when leaving. Three members of staff behind the bar not serving at that time and the server for our section walking towards us as we got to the door yet no one felt it polite to say a thanks or goodbye when customers are leaving. Small things but they make a difference to the experience.

Really great service, delicious food! Would recommend for a casual dinner

Great food, lovely staff and a cosy atmosphere. Would definitely go again if in the area!

Great place. The scotch egg is a winner. Staff are lovely too.

Cons Table was late to be released They got our order wrong despite our server double checking everything Cauliflower cheese was half a serving Both Ladies and Disabled Toilets broken Dry powdery roast potatoes Also forgot one of our drinks and said they’d take it off the bill but didn’t Pros The pub is a lovely setting. Huge garden would be great in summer Polite staff The meat was cooked well

Very congenial pub. Excellent food. Very dog friendly.

The 40% premium on a small glass of Malbec v a large glass looks steep !

We were a very large group for Sunday lunch, for a family celebration. The staff were excellent in ensuring everything was done to the highest standard. It was a high quality Sunday lunch and the pub was full with a lovely atmosphere.

Hello, My daughter and I were completely enchanted and marveled by the treatment we received for our recent dinner. The lovely Italian who accommodated our meal was so very pleasant, helpful, and generous in terms of our requests. She went beyond all expected in making our visit exceptional. We look very forward to the next visit, and again, merci, merci, et merci encore!

A lovely local gastropub that hasn't lost the 'pub' bit. Very good 'comfort food-plus' in a nice ambience. Pleasant, unobtrusive service. Not too bad value. Bar could have done with one or two more ales on tap.

Overall quite a poor experience for a number of reasons when trying to have Sunday dinner and we wouldn't go back. Firstly, we were seated for a Sunday dinner right next to the main bar area on a very small table. Within about five minutes of sitting down the table was knocked into numerous times by customers waiting to be served at the bar, spilling our drinks. The tables here are far too small to serve main meals and when the bar is busy you are constantly being bumped into by customers waiting to be served. Server was generally quite rude and when finishing our starters he warned us that if we didn't also order our main meal soon then we should be aware the table would be reserved for customers after us in some thinly vailed threat that we might be kicked off our table half way through our main meals somehow. When I asked whether there was a chance we could be seated elsewhere in the pub to eat he simply pointed to two other members of staff who were seating people in the main restaurant area and told us we can go ask them. I appreciate that the pub was busy at the time but I would say that its' probably his job to do the admin behind seating customers. Finally, when we decided to leave after finishing our starters we received the bill which had a voluntary carbon contribution added. Although the price of the food and drink is not overly pricey, it is not cheap by any means so I would have though that the duty of reducing their carbon footprint would fall on the pub, rather than the consumer. It's worth adding that the website doesn't include any information on its carbon policy so I think then charging customers for something that apparently doesn't exist could be just another way of getting more money on top of the already quite expensive meal.

After taking our money they tell us there no room inside, have to stand in the garden in sun zero temperatures, 1/2 the patio heaters aren’t working & those that are working for low on gas. Pretty appalling, avoid.

I booked the private room at the Albion for a birthday celebration. Even though I have been to the Albion many times, I unfortunately would not reccomend it now after the expedience I had. When we arrived, we were told that we could either order all of our drinks on a tab or the guests could go to the bar and order their own drinks. Given that it was a large event, I decided that I would buy some drinks / food on the tab and then the rest of the guests could order drinks at the bar themselves As the night went on, it was clear that it was taking a long time for guests to order drinks from the bar and on the tab. For example, some guests found that they waited 25/30 mins to be served. The wrong drinks were also served. The food platters that we had ordered took a really long time to arrive too (even though these had been ordered in advance). A few hours later I was then told by the manager that we needed to order all of our drinks on the tab, otherwise we would not make the minimum spend. When I had arrived, I had not been told that all of the drinks had to be ordered on the tab, or that I should have told my guests at the bar that they were ordering drinks as part of our private room. What then ensued was the manager coming over every 15/20 minutes telling me how much of the minimum spend was left and how many more drinks I needed to buy. The whole situation was a real shame and really ruined the entire evening. I reached out to the Albion after the event but they did little in the way of an apology. We won’t be coming back.

Great food served by the sweetness and most wonderfully attentive staff. It was a first date and between me and you it went really well! The skate and risotto were delicious. Special thank to Joanne, our server. She give me a shot of her confidence to be myself (see photo). Thank you bo. See you soon!

The Sunday roast was just appalling . The lamb was all fat scraps , no meat at all. If i wasnt with my family i would have sent it back and refused to pay. Truly truly a shocker. What more thy had the cheek to dd, without asking a carbon fee. Having to pay a 12.5% service charge is now becoming the norm but adding an additional fee is just a piss take. I was so annoyed about the standard of the food i lost it and made them take it off. Never , ever again

Asked very nicely to put the Celtic game on , considering 2 English’s teams on at same time Maddie made sure I was catered for also

We went here for Sunday roast when my mom was in town. The meal was lovely but the best part was Joane. She was prompt, efficient and fun!

Very disappointed sadly. A unimpressive burger for £18. A goodish wine list. Staff were friendly and service was quick. But felt like a little chef not a gastropub

If I could give it a zero I would! management is diabolical. Staff never last possibly because of the champagne socialists that run this establishment. They pride and joy is their employee of 28 years that is miserable, slow, rude and has zero customer service...

It was a busy Saturday at The Albion, the initial service was a bit slow, but we got there in the end. The food was good and we weren't hurried to leave the table.

Great service, friendly staff, bar maids are super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend stopping by for a pint

Such a disappointment. Although the menu is relatively appealing the reality is tiny portions, cold food and careless cooking. A risotto dish arrived within minutes, with a skin on the sauce as it had cooled (how long had it been sitting on the plate waiting...

Went as I’d heard good reviews. The food was cold and service was slow. We paid for our food at our table, but as we went to leave a member of staff racially profiled us and accused us (two black women) of not paying while...

Staggeringly poor service. Arrived for a quick - solo - drink and was not allowed to sit in the garden for 30 mins. Understand that dinner bookings are dinner bookings but the vast majority remained unoccupied. Raised that I was more than happy to be...

Unfriendly & rude welcome because we were early. We were kicked out, no drinks, no waiting in the garden possible. The restaurant was freezing cold. We were given a table at the dark emergency exit despite a reservation. Food was a good portion, but cold....

"You say it best when you say nothing at all" - Ronan Keating 2000 Never have words been more relevant - ONE STAR!!!!!

We ate here last week and it was very poor. The food itself was well below average and the service was dreadful. We got the £18 burger and it was tasteless. My wife's burger was sent back three times. The first time as there was...

A lovely spot and great ambiance. The food is average

Beautiful surroundings and excellent food and wine.

Rather disappointing Easter Sunday lunch. Food was cold and portions small. Pudding was OK but the meal pricey for what we had.

Lovely. Venue great location service was efficient but our initial welcome from the manager was brusque and unfriendly . The waitresses were helpful despite being very busy . The biggest let down for a roast costing over £20 was my half a parsnip carrot and...

we ordered starter, main course and wine, we got main course after 15 min without starters, we got wine 10 min after main course, after wine staff tried to give us starters ... we ordered Selvapiana 2019 - we got 2021 in the same price...

The service was appalling! We were served by the manager who was very unfriendly, unresponsive and bordering on rude! Her customer service skills were questionable. Nevertheless, the food was lovely but slightly overshadowed by the poor customer service. Will I be returning again….I doubt!

Unfortunately we had a unfortunate experience at The Albion. I would never normal write a review but on this occasion I feel I need to. After talking to the manager after the meal and explained how we felt about the service, instead of acknowledging and...

Meal was very slow. I don’t think our waitress out the order in. Steak was medium but was brought as rare. Had to return. Forgot bread. Biggest issue is that I asked the restaurant to seat me inside the restaurant as I did not want to be by the door ways. Request completely ignored. Table I was seated at was in the middle of two door ways.

The Albion used to be amazing - absolutely one of the best in London. Now it's just an above-avergae gastro-pub. Which is a shame.

Lovely cozy atmosphere, great service and delicious food.

Truly awful. I ignored the recent reviews and wished I hadn’t -I have been visiting the pub for >30 years and thought I knew better. Seated outside (opentable said they don’t book tables outside) on a cold November day, half the heaters not working (“gas is coming next week”). Waited an hour and a half for food after ordering. Lovely apologetic manager but service woeful otherwise. Food was nice enough when it finally arrived but did not compensate for dreadful overall experience. Saw other guests asking for cups of boiling water to warm their freezing hands!

The roast wasn't very nice, the sides were late, and the service was rubbish. Very expensive for the quality of the food/ service.

What a shame. The Sunday Roast used to be so good here. I last came to the Albion in the beginning of 2018. I left thinking that the roast was one of the best in North London. Unfortunately this wasn’t the same experience this time. I had the lamb roast; the portion of lamb wasn’t great; it came with an almost endless amount of red cabbage, what I assume was parsnip mash, a Yorkshire pudding (which was great), roast potatoes which tasted like they were cooked from frozen and some carrots. I asked for mint sauce and extra gravy which was given at no extra cost. There was twice as much vegetables on the plate than the meat and the majority of them were very average. My friends plate was similar - they had the corn-fed poussin which was slightly pink near to the bone. In all the meal came to a reasonable £58. The service was pretty good. The venue still looks great. Such a shame that the food isn’t what it once was.

All hype and no substance. The food was over cooked, the service was indifferent, the wine list un exciting, the price was a little too high for so little. It is basically a Sunday lunch factory.

Terrible service and management

Used to have quite good food but is now hit or miss. The burger was overcooked and quite dry, and as a starter their “marinated salmon” should have been labelled baked or pan seared, since that’s what it was. Was expecting it to be cold. The ambience in the back garden is great but for food, sadly the standards have slipped.

Sunday lunch with friends after a long lockdown. Arrived early - no problem, seated straight away. Staff were fabulous. Anca couldn’t do enough for us and made our visit that little bit extra special. Food was fabulous, clean plates all round. Atmosphere was very relaxed in lovely covered garden. Will definitely be back.

We had lunch at the Albion (rear garden) today. It was our second outside dining experience since lockdown has eased. Prior to CoVOD we would lunch often at the Albion. We were presented with two sirloin steaks (cost £18.50)per steak which were nothing short of appalling. Full with fat and gristle, warm on arrival, thin cut cheap frying steak I think. Generally, it was appalling. I dont think I have ever seen such pook steaks. I am also have some experience of steaks because I worked for 3 years in a steak restaurant as a waiter. The whole meal was written off by the Manager. Albion-please get your MOJO back. You used to be a great restaurant. I rarely write reviews, but this deserved this one

Probably one of the most expensive pints in Islington if not the UK. Stopped there for a few quite beers. Didn't have a drinks menu so ordered Estrella which I could see through the window. Took ages to come. Innocently, or rather stupidly, tapped my card without asking the price. Didn't find out until a couple of days later that I was being charged £7.82 a pint. Not only was I being ripped off for the beer which was £6.95 a pint, extortionate in itself, the bar people were adding a 'discretionary' service charge to round it up nicely to £7.82. Surely anything at my discretion I should be informed of? Complete rip off. Do not line these people's pockets. It encourages them.

The Albion is another fave haunt of mine is Islington. Very friendly with dog treats always on hand. Fantastic staff and the garden is massive! Super cool when the weather permits. Their scotch eggs are possibly the best in London. 10/10

Always great, even in these Covid times, they do it in style.

He estado en Albion varias veces y la comida siempre ha sido excelente. Esta vez no fue diferente; sin embargo, el servicio estaba por debajo del estándar. Reservamos una mesa para las 18:15 y nos informaron que, dados los números reducidos como resultado de Covid, teníamos un espacio de 1 hora y 30 minutos. Esto estaba bien y era comprensible dadas las circunstancias.Llegamos a las 18:15, tuvimos que hacer cola durante unos 10 minutos afuera para sentarnos y luego nos informaron que tendríamos que devolver la mesa a las 19:30 (lo que nos da aproximadamente 1 hora). El servicio no fue particularmente rápido (aunque por lo general no habría sido un problema tan agradable tener algo de tiempo para charlar). Solo tuvimos un plato principal y un postre; sin embargo, estábamos a la mitad de comer postre cuando nos dijeron que tendríamos que irnos ya que nuestro tiempo se había acabado.Entiendo completamente que se deben hacer cambios dadas las restricciones vigentes, pero si van a dar espacios de tiempo tan cortos, la velocidad del servicio debe adaptarse a eso. Habría sido imposible en el tiempo disponible tener 3 cursos. Es una pena, ya que es un pub encantador, pero no volveré pronto.

Four of us booked for early evening meal in August. Food was excellent for all and wine also good. Nice ambience in outside garden area: very quiet. Service was good. Will go back if we can get good enough weather to be outside!

Estaba disfrutando de un día en Londres y necesitaba un lugar para cargar mi teléfono, tuve una suerte increíble de que tuvieran un asiento junto a un enchufe, sirvieron rápido y con una sonrisa, la chica que me atendió (¿crees que era Angélica?) Fue muy amable y eficiente. Las cervezas eran excelentes y el Camembert estaba para morirse. Todo el personal fue excepcional, a pesar de estar ocupado, todos se tomaron el tiempo para saludar y asegurarse de que estuviera bien. ¡Buen trabajo chicos!

Reservamos para tener una mesa para el cumpleaños de un miembro de la familia. La reserva máxima era de seis, pero somos una familia de ocho. Hicimos dos reservas de mesa por separado y preguntamos si podíamos tener dos mesas cerca una de la otra, ya que somos una familia. Por teléfono nos dijeron que esto no era un problema, al llegar me dijeron que esto era un problema y que estaba sentado aparte, lo que nos impedía celebrar juntos el cumpleaños de mi hermana menor. Colocándonos a propósito en lados separados del pub.Luego tuvimos problemas de facturación en los que procedieron a intentar cobrarnos por los pedidos de otra persona antes de encontrar el nuestro. Esto arruinó nuestros planes de cumpleaños y recomiendo encarecidamente ir a otro lugar si desea miembros del personal razonables y atentos.

Realmente disfruté el asado del domingo, pero aunque se estaban tomando las temperaturas, ningún personal llevaba máscaras; no había desinfectantes en las mesas y los cubiertos no estaban envueltos antes de darClientes: debería haber mencionado esto en ese momentoPero no quería molestar al pariente que hizo la reserva.¿Es obligatorio que el personal use máscaras, etc.cuando sirve?¡Comida!Lástima porque el personal muy atento y los clientes estaban sentados aparteMuy buena comida

Gran almuerzo de domingo como siempre. Friendly Bunch, ambiente inmejorable. Realmente amo el interior. El rosbif era increíble, pero tuve que pedir salsa extra, aunque me gusta nadar. A veces puede ser un poco esperar en las comidas, pero como es de esperar en los días más ocupados. Realmente disfruté de las nuevas adiciones de cerveza artesanal en el bar desde mi última visita antes del cierre. Volveremos pronto y muy recomendable.

Solía usar este pub hace 50 años, muy emocionado de ver los cambios. Gran bienvenida muy céntrica pero cálida. Se muestra a una mesa de jardín, y debo decir que el jardín parece una imagen. El nuestro era el almuerzo, pero notamos muchas luces que deben verse bien por la noche. Nos dieron la opción de quedarnos afuera o adentro, tomamos la decisión correcta adentro ya que 20 minutos después se abrieron los cielos. El servicio fue realmente bueno y mi única sugerencia constructiva es que la lista del menú debe ser más amplia. Unos pocos platos más de pescado y carne habrían estado bien para los platos principales. Volvería si este fuera el caso.

Había reservado una mesa para tres en el jardín para el sábado 25 de julio. Cancelé el día alrededor de las 4 pm debido al clima. Llovía mucho. ¡Acabo de ver que me cobran 30 libras por esta cancelación! ! ! ! Dada la actual crisis de salud y covid, esta es una política realmente mala. ¿Cómo soy responsable del clima? Quería sentarme afuera por covid.

Gracias a todo el personal de The Albion anoche por cuidar tan bien de nosotros. Excelente servicio y deliciosa comida en el jardín que se veía hermoso. Mi única queja sería ver en qué dirección sopla el viento y mover a todos los fumadores en consecuencia. Aparte de eso (que realmente no arruinó nuestra velada) lo pasamos muy bien y todos no podrían haber sido más amables, especialmente cuando me las arreglé para dejar mi vino tinto por todas partes. Ya estoy deseando que llegue la próxima vez.

We had our wedding reception at the Albion on 29.02 and hired the beautiful private dining room and saloon area for welcome drinks. The Albion team, in particular David and Agata, were extremely helpful in the run up to the wedding, helping arrange table plans, coordinating cake and flower deliveries and generally sorting things out! The day itself was wonderful, the room looked beautiful, drinks were flowing, service seamless and food was good! Our waitress ( Alana I think) was brilliant and looked after us very well! Thank you Albion!

Dog friendly! I had the jackfruit burger, it was a little too dry for my taste and a little hard to eat as the jackfruits were in square-ish chunks, it made it hard to eat it like a normal burger. However my husband enjoyed his big meaty burger along with his craft beer. He said that the beer selection is amazing and he would come again for the beer choices.

The design, decor and location of the Albion are outstanding, the service was quick, responsive and very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. Great place, great value. Highly recommend.

Albion haa grear food! Especially the octopus salad, parmigiana and sea bass. Very good outdoor space in the garden also

Amazing pub with very good food and excellent service. The quality and imagination of the food (home cured bresaola!) is far above any pub across London. The vast garden in the back is an oasis. All of this is hidden behind the unassuming entrance in a beautiful part of Islington.

Fantastic atmosphere, great service and excellent food! We tried the delicious parmigiani, very fresh bresaola, even the fish was cooked to perfection! A hidden gem.

I had the privilege of having lunch at the Albion last Friday (6th March 2020). We were a group of seven and the Albion prepared an amazing sharing menu for us. The food was extraordinary, the whole table was amazed by the quality, the exquisite taste and the wonderful selection. Even the dessert which was an incredible Tiramisu was so good that I ended up taking what was left home. The service was phenomenal and I would like to thank our server Alex for taking such good care of us. It truly was one of the best meals I have has in London. A huge thank you to the whole team...

Great neighborhood, cosy place, delicious food and lovely staff. Absolulety 5* experience! Will definitely come back!

El mejor roast que he comido nunca, la carne perfecta de punto y de muy buena calidad. El trato del personal maravilloso. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

Very pleased with the food, spot on , i should say !! We really loved the “ Sunday roast Beef” very tasty and tender, and not least was the rhubarb doughnut! Will be back soon

Came for dinner before seeing Albion at the Almeida Theatre. Service was super friendly and efficient and the food (salads, steak pie and burger) much better than average for a pub.

Mi esposo y yo vinimos a almorzar tarde y fue absolutamente excelente. La comida llegó a tiempo y estaba deliciosa: el vino recomendado por Alex era tan bueno que seguimos pidiendo más. Tuvieron que trasladarnos cuando llegó otra reserva que se hizo sin esfuerzo. Alex, el anfitrión, fue muy impresionante y se notaba que realmente le importaba incluso preguntando cómo estaba mi espalda, ya que mi esposo tuvo que irse a buscar analgésicos. Cuando llegamos a pagar, recibimos un cupón de mis padres para nuestro segundo aniversario de bodas y nos felicitaron a nosotros y a otro miembro del equipo por lo que fue un toque encantador. Nos lo pasamos tan bien que lo recomendaría a cualquiera y sin duda volveremos.

this weekend we visited a tried and tested favourite but we were greatly upset. from 2 cloudy pints of beer to a tiny plate of over cooked tough steak nothing went well. when your pieces of steak come from what looks like 4 animals it doesnt bode well. i guess but could be wrong this was pre cooked and kept warm, whatever it was tiny ,expensive and horrible. back to a pie i think on my next visit

The service was friendly, the Sunday roast was fine...but nothing else went well. They plonked down our plates without asking if we needed anything else (we did: no sauces, hardly any gravy and they’d forgotten my Yorkshire pudding). Despite the reservation saying nothing about duration, we were brought the bill without asking for it after about an hour and a quarter and thrown off our table not long after that. No time to even be asked if we wanted dessert! £82 down after a meal for 2; I’d go somewhere else next time you fancy a roast in Islington.

Lovely staff who were so welcoming and attentive (especially to my dog!) Food was delicious, really lovely menu with interesting seasonal dishes. Atmosphere was lovely, we were close to the fire and really cosy!

We had a fabulous Sunday lunch, very busy but you wouldn’t know it. Service first class as was our meal, everything tasty and cooked to perfection!

What a lovely looking pub and maybe we just had an unfortunate bad experience. Wasn’t particularly welcoming, paid £10 for a small glass of Malbec, then had to go in search of someone to find which table was ours. Said table wasn’t ready so had to wait for that, and whilst waiting at the bar had staff cluttering around me with dirty glasses to the point I had to move. Waited a while to be served. Roast was pretty cold, very minimal gravy. Asked for more gravy and the pub must have been on rations, especially with the horseradish for two where the serving was barely the size of a tea spoon. Ordered desert and when it arrived it smelt of burning. The sticky toffee pudding was rock hard and had been burnt to a cinder... the staff then bought two more servings out! Bit of a disaster

Amazing as always!! The food was fantastic, the environment is lovely as well. It’s a classic in London. Don’t miss out this magical spot in the middle of Islington!

We set up a Friday night family dinner as a number of us were in London visiting two members of the family who live locally. The atmosphere is great and the service is excellent. Food range isn't massive but the quality is great. Nice and quiet and the open fires made is more welcoming.

The venue is amazing, perfect for Cosy evenings in winter and nice bottle of rosé on the terrace in summer. One of the cutest pub in London ! Unfortunately the food is not great, and slightly expensive for what it is. I’d recommend to go there for drinks and nibbles, maybe not for a fancy dinner

The roasts here are superb and the yorkshires are really tasty. The pub has a lovely ambience and great service too. Highly recommend.

Great food and very good service, good menu at a very reasonable price with a good portion of food. A return visit is a must.

So glad I discovered this place. Amazing Food, great atmosphere, and friendly yet professional staff, I recommend it to everyone.

I've been yesterday for the second time and definitely I'll go again and again. Amazing food, delicious dishes, the best desserts I ever had Staff are very welcomes and warmly I highly recommend the place :)

Nice, very busy place with beatifull garden. But they can't cook properly. I went for a company Christmas dinner and left dissapointed. I have never eaten before partidge so I was very exited about it. Instead of something delicious we got something half roasted(uncooked) what I with friends called very bloody pigeon!!!! Funny but from a place like this I expected much much much more......

AWESOME! Fantastic service! They made us lunch although it was before the kitchen’s opening hours, and they made a sticky toffee pudding to our daughter although is wasn’t on the menu. They are SO kind and the food is delicious! LOVED IT!!

Absolutely delicious! Imagine it is normally very quiet but sat next to large table of rather merry office workers (or at least collegues) having a party. Wonderful food!

Great food,highly reccomend the sausage and mash which is amazing. Great place to watch football with friends great choice of beers

Hidden away for the main street this place is a gem! Cosy place, friendly staff and amazing food! Went there for Sunday Roast with my girlfriend, one of the best roast in London, attention to every detail!
