The Depot in Islington

Es muy pintoresco, el ambiente es excelente. El personal es excelente. Chefs capaces de entregar una buena calidad de comida. Limpio y muy acogedor. Muy recomendable para una agradable noche con amigos y familiares.

Este lugar es peculiar e íntimo al mismo tiempo. Mi pareja y yo visitamos como amigos nuestros casados aquí ayer por la tarde. El equipo estaba muy ocupado pero siempre educado. La comida era sabrosa si tibia (la fiesta de bodas era para unas 100 personas). Los baños de damas necesitan una picea, ya que estaban desdibujados. En general nos lo pasamos muy bien debido a la ocasión especial que estábamos compartiendo con los otros huéspedes.

Got the chance to visit this place for a very special occasion: my BF wedding! The place is very nice, cozy and spacious at the same time. Very well organized for the celebration, there is space for the celebration and then we moved to tables where the great staff served us three courses: salmon, pulled pork and dessert. I enjoyed the food, quantities were right and the staff was very nice in helping us with all requests (they were also very professional with allergies requests). After eating, the staff left a big dance floor free from tables in order for us to dance until night. I had fun and will keep fantastic memories of that day!

I visited last week for a wedding celebration, not quite knowing what to expect, and was massively impressed. The "canapes" were almost a meal in themselves, including lamb koftas and friend chicken. They were delicious and beautifully cooked (and I'm not a great lover of fried food!). A bit later, we enjoyed an even more delicious three course dinner, all served in a very efficient and timely way. As well as the general quality of the service, they managed dietary requirements in an exemplary way. I'm dairy intolerant, and every course was served individually by name to anyone who needed something tailored to their needs. This is quite a small venue for 100 people; I've been to many much larger and, - dare I say it? - more prestigious places for similar events and not had such an excellent dining experience.

Fantastic venue. Great food. Staff are utterly phenomenal. Nothing too much trouble. This place is a real gem

I attending my nieces wedding here on Friday 2/6/23 and can’t say enough about this place . The venue itself was beautiful, rustic and the little touches made all the difference. The food was outstanding, highly recommend the sausage roll bites AMAZING . I would highly recommend this place for any celebration 🍾 . Thank you all for making the day so special for Jade & John .

My favourite pub to eat & chill! The atmosphere is warm and homely the staff are excellent and tentative and the food is outstanding. Every visit is pleasure and I always recommend the Depot to anyone visiting the area.

...but unfortunately that's the best thing I can say about it. Went for what we hoped would be a quick burger and chips before a performance. First my wife's burger was delivered to the wrong table and I didn't get mine at all, so she ate her warm burger whilst we asked the staff where mine was; they were at a loss to explain where it had gone, so they placed an order for another one (a vegan cheeseburger) and by the time that arrived my wife had finished her dinner and I had to throw mine down my neck otherwise we'd have been late for the performance - and the burger was not particularly nice as I guess the kitchen had rushed it. On the plus side the staff were very apologetic and offered us free drinks and a dessert. The music in there is quite loud as well, so not a place if you want to have a relaxed conversation whilst eating. All a bit of a shame, as it would be good to have a nice place to eat reasonably close to the Pleasance Theatre. At the moment the area's a bit of a culinary desert.

We held our wedding reception at The Depot and it was a fantastic day from start to finish. Just like others commenting here, we have had several guests tell us it was the best wedding they've attended - and that's thanks to Georgie, Gary and the whole team, who were all dedicated to making sure we were relaxed, happy and able to enjoy our special day. The Depot was also incredibly helpful and accommodating when we needed to delay our wedding due to Covid. Georgie and the team made that stressful experience a lot easier for us to deal with, which is testament to the attitude and hard work of the whole team. Highly recommend this place for anyone who wants the wedding of their dreams in a fun, relaxed, yet beautiful and classy London venue.

Had our wedding here for 130ppl and another 40 in the evening. Staff were amazing as was the food. Great value and great outside space.

We had our wedding reception at The Depot. It was honestly the best day ever from start to finish. Everyone had been commenting that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Thank you so much to Georgie for all her help and patient - she was amazing! Thank you to Garry and the rest of the team for making it such a stress free day! I wish we could do it all over again. We cannot wait to visit again soon! Take care guys. Leanne and Joe Algar xxxx

Popped in for a quick bite and pint after work as I had to finish off some emails. Food was superb, their own brew lager was as well! Great spot, will definitely go again

The atmosphere was so lovely and the staff were really brilliant - loved the food, especially nachos!!!!

He made us laugh and was actually pretty quick with the drinks and managed to deal with quite alot of people on his own

We managed to get married in 2020, as you can imagine it was quite stressful in the run up with the ever changing guidance etc. The Depot however were really great, supportive, understanding and easy to work with - thank to Emer especially. The day was awesome too; great food, friendly staff and lovely venue.

We left a review a year ago and STILL remember the event with warmth and happiness. The staff were fantastic on the day. The food was delicious with prompt service and the venue is stylish and casual. We danced until 1:30am! Highly recommend it.

Decent pub, and food not bad either. Unfortunately though the information on both Google and their own website is incorrect - went on Saturday evening expecting it to close at midnight as published so was disappointed for last orders to be called at 10.45pm. Asked the gentleman running the bar only to be told that ‘lots of the information on the website is wrong’. Real shame as one of our group joined us later after going to another event with his other half and arrived to find the bar closed. It isn’t hard to ensure opening hours are correct online and from a business perspective makes no sense at all as the place was much more crowded at 11pm than it was at 9pm. On a more positive note, one of the guys behind the bar, Ryan, was great. Other staff mediocre at best and unfriendly at worst. Pizza was pretty good and a decent selection of draft beer. Unfortunately though I’d have to recommend giving it a miss if you are expecting them to stick to any of the info on the website as they clearly don’t care.

Bar people who don’t know who’s being served next; half an hour for a plate of hummus(!); won’t allow food to be delivered when they couldn’t serve food pre-theatre; no snacks other than crisps. Don’t be taken in by the winsome decor: an absolute hole with awful staff.

We had our wedding party at the depot this weekend and we could not recommend it highly enough. The staff (especially Emer) were lovely, organised and efficient. All our guests commented on how accommodating they were. The venue is beautiful, really well located and good...

This is a very nice looking pub both inside and out, huge interior space so can see why it is so popular for weddings and other large gathering events. The staff were lovely and even offered me a tasting of a red wine to help...

We both live very close to The Depot and had visited it several times for lunches and drinks. The place has a very authentic rustic chique look which is soo effortless! It was such an obvious choice for us to select it for our wedding!...

Choosing the venue is a big decision and it does impact on so much down the line... but we are so happy we chose the Depot. Emer the event Co-ordinator was super helpful and made sure everything ran like clockwork, Lucy the head chef delivered...

I am not sure where I should begin - when we were hunting for a venue for our big day, the Depot was last on our list and we nearly didn't go - am I glad we did. The moment we both walked in, we...

I moved here 6 years ago and have visited this pub a lot, it is so sad to see this place gradually go downhill. It has become more and more quiet, even weekends are quite empty, and the food is now pretty awful and like...

The Depot was the perfect setting for our wedding and we felt very well supported throughout the planning process. Emer was extremely approachable, responsive, and accommodating of our needs. We had really positive feedback from guests not only on the layout / decor but also...

We chose The Depot N7 for our wedding in June 2019 and I could not reccomend it more. The space itself is perfect - a cool, industrial look that can be dressed up to your style, with plenty of outside space and a brilliant use...

Looking at previous reviews there's a running theme, and that's Emer and the team at the Depot. They're a huge reason why we, and our guests enjoyed our day so much. Communication was superb ahead of the event, suppliers were able to access the space...

We had our wedding at The Depot this July, and we really could not have dreamt of a better venue! Emer and her team went above and beyond to make sure that the pub was transformed completely, everything ran smoothly and that all our guests...

We had our wedding at the Depot in May 2019 and it was amazing! We were looking for a low-key London cool venue and this is exactly what the Depot was. The glass and metal work is beautiful, with lots of greenery and fairy lights....

We decided to book The Depot as our wedding reception venue as we wanted a London pub for a relaxed feel but somewhere that still felt special and unique and that we could put our own spin on- The Depot was everything we could have...

Came across this oub while visiting a friend in the area. They are dog friendly, customer service is excellent, they look after you and your dog offering water and doggy treats 🐾the four seasons pizza was delicious❤️

Good location just around the corner from Caledonian Road tine station. We were visiting the Pleasance Theatre above and popped into The Depot before. Very good range of drinks and craft beers. Nice pizza too for a quick snack. Service was decent.

We held our wedding reception at the Depot in May 2019 - what a brilliant decision that turned out to be! We had 140 guests for a drinks and canapes reception followed by 3 course sit down wedding breakfast. The food and service overall were...

Home of possibly the worst Caesar salad in the world. Staff lady called Naomi rude abrupt and generally unhelpful... Go here for the nice open space but don't go for nice customer service... also there was quite a few flies which is never a good...

The Depot provides a wide range of beers/lagers/ales at reasonable prices. The house white was adequate and looking at the selection reasonable for the area. Having a lighter bite, we ordered the special of the day, chicken caesar baguette with fries which at £9 was...

Great selection of craft beers and tasty pizzas as well. Lovely staff, gave decent recommendations on what to have!

A perfect spot for a Sunday afternoon they serve a big roast (big portions!) and are dog friendly which was a big plus for us. 😊 Really relaxed atmosphere, be warned though you could easily sit here all day. 😊

If you’re looking for a nice place to go for good food and drinks on Cally road, it doesn’t disappoint. I work in the area and it’s become a regular spot for lunch, service is good and there’s specials on every day so menu never...

We are on a no carb diet so it seemed reasonable to ask for his steak and my chicken without fries and with a side salad. I was astonished that a large bar like this in a fairly cool part of London doesn't stock sparkling...

We came upon this great spot by accident and so glad we did! We had such a lovely afternoon here and with the sun shining we got to enjoy the gorgeous courtyard at its best. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and the menu...

Great place with a cool vibe and the pizzas were amazing! Highly recommended. The staff were very friendly and the beer was top notch. Definitely will be back!

I was waiting for a friend who was late. Decided to pop in for a beer. The selection is seriously great. The staff really know what they’re talking about. I had the maharaja IPA. This beer is next level!

Had a sunday roast with my boyfriend, it was delicious, great selection of beer too! The atmosphere is really nice, the Gin& Eldelflower fizz is inimitable! 🙌🏼

We had our wedding at the Depot and we could not praise the venue highly enough. The ambience was wonderful, with a slightly industrial feel. The food was excellent and plentiful, the service extremely efficient and so many of our guests (we had 150 of...

Just dropped into here prior to going to the escape room which is attached. The place was not overly crowded at 8:39, had a good vibe and atmosphere with plenty of places to hang about, speak to mates or I could imagine have a proper...

Visited before heading to the Pleasance Theatre. Was greeted by a friendly female member of staff who took my order. I often go to the Theater and couldn't recommend this enough as a place to grab a quick bite to eat! Will be back :)

Went here for some food prior to a show at the Pleasance. The food was absolutely awful. Pizza tasted like a cheap supermarket oven pizza. The kale and sweet potato salad was beyond terrible with minuscule bits of sweet potato and soggy kale. The staff...

We are sat here on a Monday night drinking coke because there was No real ale and no craft lager or weisse beer tonight. Only one server behind the bar and she had attitude when questioned why so little beer in a brewery run pub....

Been visiting the shillibeers for decades now, it was an average pub, pleasance theatre next door and a small yard of 3-4 benches. There is a sort of a ramp to go down to the entrance and steps if you need to go up. It...

This place has changed its name to The Depot N7 but there doesn’t seem to be a TripAdvisor entry under the new name. Apart from the name, everything else seems the same. This place was recommended by a colleague whom we were meeting here today...

I used to love this place, the owner is lovely! However I just went in there with my partner and it was a very limited menu, I’d ordered my food but he couldn’t find anything he liked. At this point the barman came and told...

Visit here pre match days as it’s convenient, the quality of the beer is poor when it’s available but more often it’s off. For a brewery run pub it’s a bit of a let down and how it stays open and trading I do wonder....

Appalled by the awful management at The Depot. I booked to have my baby shower here at the end of April making the booking a good few months in advance! All was set and I was shown which area I would have reserved etc and...

It was very cold outside and nearly as cold inside. Good beers, great cobb salad. Comfy seating and reasonable service Great pre theatre for The Pleasance. Now called "The Depot " though

This place has so much potential but is consistently let down by poor management and has been for the last few months. The bar area looks filthy also. There is an escape room upstairs that looks fun though. Could be so good, needs love!

Very nice pub with tables outside and lights . Inside is really bid and they serve food ,beers and drinks . The only thing is a bit hidden and from Caledonian we walked 10min. I'll come back :)

Sometimes this place is good and sometimes less so. There is often something missing out of the food that has been described on the menu (avocado in the salad for example) but sometimes it's good. It is a tad expensive for the level of quality...

Nice place with a good selection of beers and a lot of potential. Shame about the food and service. The place was pretty much empty but it took ages to get the food.

Great service at the bar, very friendly and efficient in a crowd, with good selection of beers and wine. Nice atmosphere. The slight let down is the food - pizzas are quite bland, and thinly spread. Dips lack a 'wow' factor.
