The Easton in Islington

Best Sunday Roast in the area. Staff are great and friendly.

I am a Minicab driver and I come to this pub very often. The staff are always very friendly and the food it’s amazing. Definitely recommend !!! (my favourite is the Sunday roast)

Super friendly staff, thanks for a great afternoon!

Excellent dishes, very nice and quick service, I highly recommend this pub. Thank you for this pleasant moment in family

One of the best roasts in London. The 'bits and bobs' as they call them really enhanced the roast offering. Some interesting and exciting options for vegetarians. An encouraging wine list and a strong selection of tap beers. Well worth a visit.

Had the best lamb roast in this place. Amazing! Friendly staff and live music. What more could you ask for on a Sunday afternoon? Dog friendly too 🐶

The Sunday roast here is amazing! Loads of options, massive portions and really delicious. They have a great selection of drinks too and even a bit of live music sometimes. Will definitely be a regular spot for us now.

Had Sunday lunch, lamb with all the trimmings. With two drinks.

The food was really good, I loved the meat (how it was cooked) and the vegetables. A bit simple (carrots and potatoes) but overall very well done. I recommend this place, and will probably come back.

Nice pub just tucked off the main road, good selection of drinks, music playing and busy. Nice pub

I had such an amazing time at The Easton with my friend! Let me tell you, the food was absolutely incredible. I went for the burger, paired it with a refreshing Guinness, and oh my goodness, the Mac and cheese was out of this world! The staff there were so friendly and welcoming, it made the whole experience even better. I'm already planning my next visit for a delicious Sunday roast. Can't wait to go back!

A very hearty serving of beautifully tender, melt-in-the-mouth roast beef. Came served over a bed of cabbage and peas and drenched in a delicious flavoursome gravy. Accompanied by a bowl of crispy-on-the-outside yet-fluffy-in-the-middle roast potatoes and carrots AND a bowl of creamy cauliflower cheese. I washed it down with a gorgeous glass of Malbec. I' would have opted for the Guinness chocolate brownie pudding but I was stuffed!! Next time definitely.....

Excellent food, such friendly staff, we can’t recommend the Easton Pub enough.

Decent food, artichokes were good, vegetarian mains were ok

The place has an ok ambience and decent food. However service is exceptionally bad, the person that welcomes people in needs to go, she is really bad at her job.

The pub was quiet when we walked in. Awesome playlist as 'i don't like Mondays' played in the background. Friendly faces behind the bar, I was able to taste 7 different wines before I made my choice! FREE WINE TASTING on da house. We got the Roast, What a treat! No short cuts on this one! Carrots, potatoes, cabbage, gravy, cauliflower with cheese, Yorkshire pudding! And the MEAT!!! Loved every bite. Enjoyed the food very much. Will be back for more as I could not squeeze dessert.

Fantastic pub, very friendly staff and yummy food and delish cocktails..5 stars

Quaint little gastro pub just off the main road and near Exmouth Market. Amazing food dishes, and the roast on Sundays 🤤 defo worth a pop in...staff are a joy too!!

Went for a leaving do, not pre booked about 40 of us turned up and they coped brilliantly! We ordered food... which was excellent!! Never been before but will definitely go again! Brilliant!

A pub with a modern twist on pub food and a good selection of beers. It appears to be recently remodeled.

Great food, happy we stumbled across this place and it's a handy escape from the hustle and bustle of Exmouth market if you're after good food in a relaxed atmosphere. Came back for a Sunday roast, which was one of the best pub roasts I've had in a while - so will be back.

A fantastic pub! Kind and Excellent service and wonderful atmosphere!

Delicious roast, really relaxed environment, lovely staff, very dog friendly. Can’t wait to go back

Very disappointing: I had a dinner reservation for 8:30 on a Tuesday at this place(via open table). When I arrived, at 8:33 I was told that the kitchen is already closed. If you can reserve a table for dinner online the kitchen should be open! Nevertheless the guy behind the counter was very friendly and suggested another pub around the corner.

The pub has new owners! If you had been here before (when it was managed by Stonegate) then please make sure you come back and give it a try. It has been refurbished and it looks so cozy inside. They have a new menu and we tried a bit of everything, it's fresh delicious food. The pork belly was my favourite. It's a quiet pub, perfect to meet friends and have a chat. The staff is lovely and helpful. The beer selection is standard (Moretti, Madri, Neck Oil, etc). Cheapest bottle of Prosecco was £32. Pints at an average of +£6.2 - £6.6

Brilliant food , traditional bar with great staff

Great for after work drinks. Lovely decor, and the owner/manager gave me a seat and an elderflower drink when I was upset one day!

Amazing food . Irish stew Hake with beens Restaurant standards Complement to the chef!!! We will come back!!!

One of my fav places when in the area!

Attended a lovely party there, wonderful food. Barman was exceptionally nice, made several pots of tea for me. Beyond helpful.

Lovely pub with outside terrace and good choice of beers

Franchement cet établissement vaux le détour. Nous y avons manger 2 soirs pendant notre séjour à Londres. Tout était super bien cuisiné. Un vrai délice, la viande super fondante, le crumble délicieux et les personnel super sympa. Bonne continuation à eux.

Great service, lovely food, the fried pickles and halloumi for starters were incredible, everything was really tasty!

Fab pub great food and top notch service

Friendliest staff, great beer, brilliant food! This is probably the best pub I've been to in a long time!

An excellent pub! We had the Sunday lunch and it was superb! Very pleasant staff an absolute bonus. They were very accommodating about us bringing in my grandson in his pram! Would definitely recommend this place for food and drink!

Friendly wait staff and they did a really nice fish and chips

Says closes at 11pm. Told it had closed already at 1028pm on a Saturday night. Only reason for one star is to let people know that the times on Google are incorrect.

Truly friendly staff, nice atmosphere, cheap piss, cant go wrong

I had the most remarkable burger here. An incredible composition of flavours. Each piece of the carefully constructed whole, playing its part. Excellent choice of meat, cooked to perfection, thick and juicy. Staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

We stumbled upon The Easton, an unexpected delight. A great steak and some of the best whitebait we had on the trip. Get in early for the Chateaubriand, it looked amazing.

Just drinks , nice place to sit.

Petite soirée en amoureux, loin du tumulte des rues. Service souriant et super, plats excellents.

Hadn’t been here in years. Now under new management, it was a great spot for a weekend afternoon pint. Very friendly and attentive staff with terrific taste in music. Menu looks great too.

A good selection of lovely food, a good selection of beers, and friendly, helpful staff. Dogs welcome too. Highly recommended.

Drink selection is good and there's food. The music gets pretty loud but there's no dancefloor, so I'm not sure what the angle is there. Edit: I've been back here since my original review that I posted a few years ago. The pub has been refitted and the noise is no longer an issue. I've actually suggested this place a few times to people.

Great refurbishment. Nice staff. Decent selection of drinks and good food. Recommended

Super cosy place with a lovely ambience – ideal for conversation with just the right amount of hubbub. Not at all a boisterous pub, but a warm, homely one, which is definitely my preference. All the staff are brilliant, but my friend and I had the pleasure of being attended to by Oliver and so an extra special shoutout must be given to him, who went above and beyond for us! :) We thoroughly enjoyed his friendly company – made us feel like regulars despite it being our first time. Eleven out of ten for service! For Oliver alone, I would return. Add in the tasty food and price? I'm definitely coming back!! :D Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who asks! Can't wait to try the Sunday Roast!

Un cadre très chaleureux, un accueil amical avec quelques mots en français. Cuisine raffinée et généreuse. Des conseils sur les vins et autres consommations.

Fantastic pub with great food and super friendly staff who made us feel very welcome! They were accommodating to dietary requests from our group and we are grateful for that. Will visit again.

Fully refurbed and under new management from Feb 2023 (so ignore reviews prior to that). Great atmosphere and staff.

Really enjoyed stopping in here as I saw it had just (re?)opened a week before. Had a great dinner and drinks catch up with a friend. Not too busy (though it was the following Thursday, watch out! It's the new Friday I guess) and not massively overpriced, very tasty. Attentive staff, though would be great if they could cut back on the love/darling for half the clientele - I find this really off-putting, though your mileage may vary! It's a hard time to open a pub, so support your local establishment! It's cosy and central without being in a mega busy area, near exmouth Market, Farringdon and Kings Cross as you can see. Would stop in again for sure.

Great food, friendly & attentive staff, reasonably priced food, music not so loud you can't hold a conversation.

Awesome food awesome staff great drinks

I love it here, so gorgeous, so fun & amazing vibes! Definitely a regular since the re-vamp!

Amazing food, best roast dinner I think we have ever had. Great friendly service and best of all, dog friendly with a beef roast for dogs. They enjoyed every mouthful. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu 😋

Visited on Saturday night, and they rung the bell for last orders at 22:15, shutting the bar at 22:30. Bit disappointing for a pub in central London on the weekend. Chap behind the bar couldn't muster a smile, adding to the idea that they really just wanted to close up and go home.

Great choice of drinks and fabulous food.

Nice big pub, loads of seating. The staff are really nice and friendly. They do have football on but if you are a footie fan then that would be a bonus.

Nice pub, tucked away in a side street off Rosebery Avenue. Food served. Real ales and craft beer.

Great food at a very reasonable price, very welcoming and friendly staff, relaxed casual atmosphere. Couldn't ask for much more.

Don't go in a Thursday evening if you don't want to run in to me Google has prompted me to update my review so here is my update. The pub is still there and still serves alcoholic beverages. Unfortunately I have moved up to Manchester due to crippling house prices in London so I'm not visiting every Thursday any more. However, I am quite sad they removed the benches outside and replaced them with chairs because it means everyone tends to stand and I'm lazy and don't like standing. Not worth subtracting a star though as I accept this is a Me Problem.

Great pub with a great atmosphere. The food was excellent value. The bar staff were really friendly and gave us a quick history lesson on the local area. I will definitely go back next time I’m in the area.

This place is amazing! I love the staff commitment to maintaining a happy and sociable atmosphere, worth a trip out of your way to sample the food

Happy memories of a wedding reception there a few years ago.

We thought we would try the Easton Clerkenwell pub as our company is new to the area. After waiting more that 20 mins to be served drinks at lunch (there were only another 6 people in the pub) we decided to leave. There was no urgency or thought to summoning additional staff. We ended up going to the Exmouth Arms where we were served imediately even though they were very busy. –– We went there yesterday, Thur 28th. It was lunchtime.

Great pub great team and Gary the GM is just what this place needed,

Came here for lamb shank only to get a cold meal on a hot plate consisting of chewy, slimy and cold lamb, freezing veggies. Extra cauliflower cheese was spread between two plates and hardly cheesy, parsnips undercooked and when prompting the manager he simply said that he would let the the chef know. Utterly dreadful experience, would not recommend Sunday roast.

Nigel,Gary and Rob were absolutely amazing with there service and the cocktails are great value for money!

Friendly, chatty staff. There is a sharing desert of Fried Bread and Butter pudding with pots of Caramel Dipping sauce, Raspberry Dipping Sauce and Custard. Plus two individual scoops of vanilla ice cream. One of the best deserts I've had in a long time. I could have scoffed the whole thing myself it was so good, my girlfriend wouldn't have been happy if I had though, as she loved it too.

I came with my girlfriend and Bijoux made us nice cocktails. Would recommend!

Great little pub with an awesome manager and team!

Very nice place, the food was lovely - £13 for a Sloppy Joe's burger, sweet potato fries and a glass of wine which is very reasonable! Very welcoming team and love the cosy booths to hang out in with friends..

Go to the bar. Ask for JB. The best bartender. At the best pub. You’re in for an InTeReStInG nIgHt. I will say no more. Except that it’s BLOODY AWESOME!!!!!! (See below for picture of said legend)

Cosy little bar in the back of Clerkenwell. Has various DJs on Thursday playing tunes and karaoke..good times.

Great pint! Friendly bunch! Highly recommended

The staff are all so friendly and very helpful. They made my evening.

I had fond memories of this place, till I booked a space for 20 people for a work social in advance and they cancelled the reservation at really short notice. I offered to make a deposit while booking as I understand the problems "no shows" create for the pub industry. However, I got told just before the booking that the venue is closed that day due to a private booking. Unfortunately, quite unprofessional.

Glad to be back at the Easton. 241 cocktails went down a treat.

Great friendly service, Nice cold beer, cocktails could be stronger BUT still tasty and a wide range to choose from. The chicken wings were really good too. Thumbs up from me!

Very good cocktails. Best price in area. Nigel very official. Jack is very good cocktails maker.

Very friendly staff and excellent food...what else could.you ask.for?

Great fish n chips! Professional staff, very attentive. Will visit next time I'm in the area.

Its absolutely dreadful here. Let little kids in and they're loud little wrongdoers who need a hiding. Food terrible, wrong food delivered and cutlery dirty. Honestly worst pub I've been in and it doesn't even have the cheap factor.

Not exceptional but very nice place and staff, the beer is adequate but I don't know about the food yet.

Very nice , friendly hidden pub. Have sports.

Proper pub. Haven't tried the food but menu looks good and prices are very reasonable. Staff are very friendly and efficient.

Nice place for after work drinks, for big groups booking is recommended.

Don't normally leave reviews for places but we found this place due to the reviews so thought it only fair. My husband and I stayed at the Travelodge around the corner and wanted a bit of tea and a couple of drinks without going too far (feet were already killing from nearly 7 hours of museum visiting) This place is perfect for it! Lovely welcome from the guy behind the bar, made us feel really welcome. The food was beautiful (and not expensive in the eyes of us northerners) and happily sat in the corner whiling away a few hours. Will definitely come back next time we're in London 👍

Mesera sin modales, pésima atención...

A great find, I only wish I lived closer to make this my local. Good beer and freshly prepared and well cooked food served with a smile. I will definitely return to The Easton when next in the area.

Este lugar es absolutamente bangin '. Muy buena gente, obviamente mucho patrocinio local, el servicio fue de primera categoría, fue vibrante, divertido, la comida fue brillante, y estuvimos allí el 'Viernes de día de pago', el último viernes del mes cuando hay música en vivo. Fantástica noche ¡Me encanta que los lugareños llamen con sus perros!

I eated with my family in this typical London pub near my hotel. Pub is very cozy, food is great, but the most wonderful thing of this pub is the staff. A very gentle girl served us, she was attentive to ours needs. To the boss: Please to be sure don't lose her. With love a simple Italian family. 11 January 2020 at 10 PM

Friendly staff and fast service

Bit cramped but it was the Christmas period to be fair

Weird space, essentially a rectangular room with no particular character to it. Not great beer selection Good sun trap however.

Decent burger, music maybe a bit loud for some

Después de una ausencia los fines de semana durante los meses de verano, la reanudación del servicio dominical en este excelente y bien establecido lugar es muy bienvenida. Y una noticia aún mejor es que han vuelto a un menú cocinado por un chef adecuado para restaurar su reputación como uno de los mejores gastropubs en el área para un gran asado con un servicio amable y eficiente y un ambiente cálido. Actualmente hay una gama tentadora de bebidas festivas, así como cero bebidas alcohólicas en barril. Nuestra comida de hoy fue de muy alta calidad, así que estoy encantado de que vuelva a estar en la lista de mis lugares favoritos para pasar una tarde relajada y relajada con amigos.

After an absence at weekends over the summer months the resumption of Sunday service at this excellent, well-established venue is very welcome. And even better news is that they have reverted to a proper chef-cooked menu to restore its reputation as one of the best gastropubs in the area for a great roast with friendly, efficient service and a warm ambience. There is currently a tempting range of festive drinks as well as zero alcohol lager on draught. Our food today was of very high quality so I am delighted that it is firmly back on the list of my favourite places to spend a lazy, relaxed afternoon with friends.

Great Sunday Roast, huge portion, excellent service, friendly staff. Definitely returning. 5 stars 😊
