The Fellow in Islington

Much better than it needs to be, given the location. Cool staff, edible food, good beer, pub atmosphere and plenty of seating. Not a destination I would travel for; but certainly somewhere I would go if I was thirsty with friends in KingsX.

Nice pub that serves food all day. The meal was good quality although a little expensive.

Very nice pub v close to Kings Cross Station. We had the set menu which was good value (£18 two courses). Will definitely return.

I liked it here. The service was very friendly and polite, its was a VERY busy day that we went and whilst there were only 2 bar staff, both did a great job and if they couldn’t get to you quickly they let you know they were coming. The burgers were great and everyone liked them, the fries were OK but quite hard and small/inconsistent portions, we also had quite a fiddly order due to allergies but they got it all right. I did think the food was quite expensive for what it was though. Drinks options are excellent there. Good atmosphere and nice decor, it would definitely be better on a quieter day and I would go back there as they did well with the volume of people they had so I know it would be better in quieter times.

Good atmosphere, decent beer. Food was nice but lacked any wow factor for the money payed.

Lovely food. Good customer service.

2 bar staff 1 organising glasses who spent more time chatting between them than serving, no urgency . I waited 15 min to get served my first drink then got sprayed with the mixer tap all over my hair & clothes barman thought it was funny I didn’t . It was chaos . We booked a table no idea as to who to ask . They then started to pull together tables for our booking not prepared . Steak was ok chips soggy in oil and not sure why garlic covered . You have to pay at the bar for food no server service . Friend had her bag stolen with laptop in it . Would not go again .

Great atmosphere but please sort out the upstairs toilets...grim!

We had our work Christmas dinner in the private dining room, and we had such a lovely time! Everything from the service, the food and the music was amazing. The service was beyond incredible, and it was very reasonably priced, thank you very much for a festive and lovely end to the year! :)

Great food in an easy to find location. Not cheap, but that's London in 2024/25. They struggled to find my reservation - but we got there. Also, I asked for a quiet table and they stuck me under the main speaker 😂... mentioned it to the charming lady working upstairs and she happily dropped the volume. Overall, great place to get a bite of your group can't all agree on the type of food you want.

No food available. Bartender couldn’t make drinks. 30 minutes wait for drink. We had booked months in advance for lunch and couldn’t get food as “kitchen closed too busy”. Useless.

Thankyou for having us , the Christmas lunch was a huge success and the service was 10/10 all afternoon and the staff were eager to listen and help with any immediate issues on arrival , very happy and will recommend to the rest of your company.

Great staff who even during the Xmas rush manage to efficiently serve customers and stay cheerful. One of the best pubs in the area.

The holiday season is something to be shared with the world in London. Great recommendation on dry cider. From Texas and chatted with George, Archie, and Alyssa for easily 2hrs. Thanks for making us feel welcome!

Booked for our company Christmas lunch. Great pub, with a delicious lunch. Such lovely staff, who looked after us all so well. Thank you !

Cosy relaxed pub a stone’s throw from Kings Cross station. A good range of ales, lagers etc for most tastes. We were able to book a table for our group which worked well.

Great food, music and cocktails Lovely staff, great decor definitely would come back Big thank you to Phil Lovely afternoon

Una vez establecido y ordenado gracias por el Phil muy amable y servicial que me hizo sentir cómodo (palabra de precaución al reservar como yo tienes problemas en la barra alta como silla asegúrate de pedir una silla adecuada, ya que algunas de las mesas son altas con taburete de bar como sillas) pero una vez ordenado tuvo una tarde muy encantadora. Muy buena comida, gran ambiente sin duda recomiendo. El mejor huevo escocés que hemos probado y un encantador asado casero.

I’m sorry to leave a bad review; my friend’s bag got stolen from under our table. We’re Londoners not naive, I’m still shaken and shocked. It’s put a proper downer on birthday celebrations :( Pub is great, service was great, some people are really not

We googled bars near me, and found The Fellow. We usually end up in The Parcel Yard whilst waiting for our train home, so were keen to try somewhere new. What a find, fabulous bar, friendly and welcoming staff. Aspalls on draft, always a win! Mulled Aspalls Cider, my first of the season, and delicious food. We meant to take a photo but it was gone very quickly, Fish and chips, and Sausage and Mash...(see menu attached for full description). Would definitely recommend, dog friendly, we hadnt brought our dog, but that tells me they're good people! There is also a roof terrace (Black Door Bar). We will definitely be back.

Staff we very friendly and inviting. Nice selection of beverages. Great interior and has an upstairs area aswell. Open top Beer Garden was very nice and relaxing. I will be recommending to family and friends and attending again.

we had a party in the upstairs room, everyone at the Fellow was really helpful, service was excellent, food yummy and everyone had a great time. thank you

Disappointed with the food but atmosphere was cheerful enough. Booked Sunday lunch at 2pm but mains came out fast and seemed reheated. Seitan Wellington was a thin slice of what could have been a really processed veggie sausage roll. Beef wasnt up to much either. Extra gravy offered was nice but experience of deserts was pretty awful. Doughnut sliders were pale and seemed recently defrosted. Chocolate mousse has separated, uncooked. The waiter was doing his best and offered an alternative desert but it took about 45 mins to appear. Maybe the chef was hungover or off that day? It can't really be the best rated Sunday pub food in the area based on what we had. Location was really handy but value for money, nope. Might go again for glass of wine or a pint though.

We held a birthday here for 60 people in the function room upstairs. The manager is friendly and made it very easy to organise. Service on the day was perfect. Atmosphere was brilliant in a great location for family and friends spread out across the UK. Highly recommend

The staff are really friendly and helpful BUT the roast dinner has got to be one of the absolute worst I've ever had. Two incredibly thin slices of grey meat, rock hard potatoes, a teaspoon of cabbage, a spoon of "pureed cauliflower" (which instantly disappeared into the gravy) and a giant but sadly completely unseasoned Yorkshire pudding. And it costs £24 (plus service)! Avoid.

Good option for food or a drink near Kings Cross/St. Pancras. We visited for an early dinner while spending a night near the train station and were thrilled with the food, though it was extremely busy on a Saturday night and the staff seemed to be stretched a little thin. Still, the sausages and mash was one of my favorite meals of our 9-day trip to Europe, so it was worth the visit!

Fantastic service and food every time I have visited. There are new menu items that have taken the offering to a new level. I’ve tried the pulled beef sandwich, which is the best I’ve had in London. The baked maple camembert and beef short rib pastry are simply delectable. Super cold and creamy pints of Guinness (which is a must for any pub in my opinion). Always warm and friendly in the establishment, and they even welcome dogs at all times of the day. A true Kings Cross gem

Great fish and chips, amazing atmosphere

Arrived and our table was not ready. Sat down and ordered food. All of our food came out at same time including starters and mains. Pork belly bites werent bite sized and were so over cooked they were disgusting. The meat was dark brown! The pumpkin pasta was like mush. Apparently there was sage in there but I couldnt taste it. However, the bangers and mash was delicious! Staff were great.

Great pub! A stones throw from kings cross station, definitely worth a visit. The team we're super attentive, chatty and lovely. The food was delicious, full of flavour and very filling. I'd highly recommend the cauliflower bites and the battered burrata. If you're in the area, definitely worth popping in for a quick bite and a wine or two.

Popped back into the Fellow after finding it on our last visit to London. Again was the perfecct end to our stay in the capital. This time got to meet Nicky (the manageress) who seemed to be the cocktail queen behind the bar. Loved the recommendations on what to drink! Ate from the new food menu - Roasts and burgers were an all round hit - with great service from Aga, who looked after us for a few hours after the initial visit to the bar. Will definately be our last stop before the train on every visit! Thanks to all the team at The Fellow :-)

Visited three times in the last week on travel from Scotland to France through London .Experienced great hospitality, class food and wine.Thanks!

Staff are friendly and drink choices are good but the food is embarrassing. I ordered this burger and it looks worse than the food served at the McDonald's down the road... and cost more than twice the price! At least it came on a plate. Music is good.

The menu was disappointing and I wouldn't go back for food. There also was not a lot for people who don't eat meat. We ordered some smaller plates to share but everything felt like it was done on the cheap / low quality produce used / supermarket bread etc, just generally, not well done, not very appetising. Low end pub grub. Fine if you have have had a few pints and don't mind mopping them up with some fried stuff but that's not my thing.

Quick, friendly service and strong burgers

Dropped in for a couple of pints after a long train trip back to London. It was great for relaxing and people-watching out in the street, and the drink selection was good. We regret not eating there as the food looked great and we’ve been to others managed by the same company.

Great beers, nice venue & helpful staff. Recommended venue for discerning real ale drinkers going to or from Kings Cross station.

Food took a while to be served .50 minutes in fact .worth the wait . Deserts not great . Brownies very dry .

We had the dinner here to celebrate our honeymoon trip in London. It is one of my husband's bucket list and we totally had a great time there. Food and services are amazing, thump up to Toby who made the great memorable night for us. Thank you for the surprising dessert for our honeymoon! Joy and Jon from Thailand

Great pub near to Kings Cross station I make a point of stopping by. Staff very friendly. The scotch eggs are off the charts.

A great pit stop for lunch, right outside King's Cross St Pancras. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was very busy, full of locals and tourists like ourselves. The beer selection is great, although I was slightly disappointed that they had none of their cask ales available at the time (that was a one off, as I'm sure it was fixed soon). I had the smash burger, which was so good. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and dealt well with any issues or queries that came up. If you've been touring the sights like the St Pancras Hotel, as we were, I'd recommend The Fellow for a bite to eat and a drink!

Really poor service - I was one of several customers left waiting ignored at the bar, while it took 4 staff running around like headless chickens to try and resolve what looked like a refund issue. The staff serving were unwilling to even look at customers - they had no idea of who was next in line - and customers including myself were simply ignored while others were served as soon as they arrived at the bar. Really poor hospitality experience unfortunately. It's a nice enough pub and conveniently located close to Kings X - but owners and management need to sort out staff training and take some ownership.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere and welcoming staff. I believed we were served by a young lady called Autumn? We recommend to anyone thinking of stopping by to visit the fellow!

Because of the good feedbacks here I wanted to try the Pub for a Sunday Roast. They served this all day so I went at Sunday evening. The Beef Sunday Roast was disappointed. The dish was cold, the beef chewy and the roasted potates was hard. Yorkshire Pudding was really not good - u could play tennis with that hard pudding. Only the gravy was really nice. The staff was ok but not very welcomed. The waiter was busy with his push-ups at the bar. The pub itself looks nice.

What a wonderful pub in the heart of Kings Cross. Guinness lovers come here, they serve perfect creamy irish milkshakes. 8.5 rating on the Guinnessometer. The staff were so friendly and looked after us so well. The roasts were delicious and you can see are prepared with care and fresh ingredients. They make the effort and you can feel it. Highly recommended 🙌🏽🙏🏻🔥🔥

Great little bar. I often visit on my way home from work. Shout out to Jack on bar, who remembered my drinks order since the last time I visited (a week ago) If you're in King's Cross waiting on a train. I recommend popping in here.

Really nice spot. Just a well kept, friendly London pub you would expect if you’re a tourist. Lots of beer choices!

Not a good place ,unclean . atmosphere not so good either . Food was cold . Won’t go back there again .

Absolutely fantastic place! The best burger in town with super tasty, crispy fries – just perfect! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere in the pub is warm and inviting. I felt right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Only a quick couple of pints but would happily stop in again next time I'm in the area

We discovered this pub by chance and loved the ambience, the staff, the drinks and the food. Would go again when visiting London.

Fish and chips tasted odd, atmosphere was so so, but staff wasn’t the most attentive.

Nice place for a drink. First time we've been, but it's got a good feel to it and we'll definitely be back

We choose the Fellow to host celebration drinks for a large group of 20. All the staff were super friendly and accommodating. The upstairs space was absolutely perfect for our event with the beautiful terrace just next door. I can’t thank the bar staff enough for all their help and for being so accommodating. We’re so grateful and we loved our evening! Thank you so much for hosting us!

We came across this pub by accident and are glad we did! Really great vibe and the perfect spot for a pint. Special shoutout to the bartender Joe who fielded our never-ending questions and gave us some good recommendations in the city. We appreciated it a lot!! 🙏 Bummer to find out Harry Potter was born in 1980, though...

Another meal out and once again, another disappointment that I need to warn others to avoid. Ordered two roasts on a very quiet Sunday early evening. 3 members of staff working hard behind the bar and doing the best they could. Front of House/Restaurant had two scruffy, badly attired female senior members of staff sat opposite the hot pass, drinking wine and cider doing 'work' on the laptop and not paying any attentive care to customers. The two individuals in question were clearly doing their best to make a song and dance of showing how hard they were working together despite seemingly doing very little apart from drinking and scrolling endlessly on their phones. In short the two of them looked like unprofessional slobs more suited to being sat together on a dirty old sofa together at home. The food itself was put under the hot pass and the chef rang no less than 3 times for service. He was ignored and attempted to serve us himself. Eventually one of the two picked up and brought our food over, having had a shoulder massage from another member of staff and kept us waiting further. Yorkshire puddings were like sandpaper, the veg undercooked and the meat chewy. All in all a poor experience. Don't waste your money, the venue and management seem to think public service/hospitality is all a big game and are more interested in themselves. I'll be contacting their regional management for an explanation or for training to be given to the two ladies in question. Totally unacceptable and not appreciated by paying members of the public. Bottom line - Focus on your customers and duty of care NOT yourselves and your egos!

Great steaks 🥩! The staff excellent and a lovely selection of beers 🍺

What a lovely pub, we had a pre-wedding family gathering, super chilled evening, very attentive staff and they looked after us all evening :)

I deffo recommend as a hang out spot and in a great location for after work drink - basically next tk Kings Cross station (easy for everyone to get home looool) The upsatirs has a bar so no need to go up and down the stairs to order food and drinks as well access out to the terrace.

Nice place close to King's cross station. I was there twice. The second time with a group. And that was the weirdest experience. I had to be their waiter to take all the orders and communicate them to the actual waiter downstairs. Food quality is good and the location very typical. Prices are reasonable. Upstairs there is plenty of space. I would go there again, but never again bring a group there.

Great pub, nice to be able to sit outside. Food was good and staff diligently brought it several floors up to the outdoor seating so mega impressed with their hard work

Fantastic pint of Guinness, real friendly server asked his name his said Joe friendly funny and can pour a perfect pint of Guinness

First off, I only ever give completely honest reviews as I feel it's important for future customers and for proprietors. We booked a table for eight. Great pub in a great location. Big screens, good atmosphere and decent beers. Food left a lot to be desired. Two friends ordered beef roast. One didn't really touch his, "like trying to eat a trainer". The other persevered and got food poisoning for the rest of the day/night. His wife called the next day, no agenda, just to let them know and was told it couldn't be their food because the dish didn't contain dairy. Weird because either way he doesn't have a dairy intolerance. Manager asked if he'd eaten anything else that day. He hadn't. The rest of our meals were 'ok'. The chicken was moist and hot. The Yorkshires, whilst impressive looking, were dry as anything and like trying to eat crisp breads. Roast potatoes were rock hard and impenetrable, even with a serated knife. Rest of the veg was ok. Probably spent £200 on food and another £100 at the bar. All in all, a good pub to meet with friends for drinks, just maybe give the food a swerve.

Love this pub and all the staff. Discovered it by accident but now a firm favourite. Staff all been polite, hardworking and friendly. I've been a few times - for central kings cross you actually would be hard pressed to do better. (Even the customers I've met there ha e been good) .. always shines thru ... Good manager, good staff, good clientele.)

We came to the fellow after being recommended by a friend for the great atmosphere, food and of course the beer selection. We had a lovely Sunday lunch with a selection of nibbles my favourite nibble was definitely the scotch egg, the first thing that impressed me was how the server went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t have any allergies and made adjustments to suit my needs. I was talking to a staff member called Brian (I think) he was very informative about all the different types of beer 🍺 and yes his recommendation was a hit! I will definitely be returning with friends to enjoy the rooftop with some cocktail after work.

First visit, on the off-chance, for a meal after a long journey. Would have loved to stay for a session, but too tired! Excellent beer, lovely and interesting food, great staff. We hope to be back.

A great evening of beer, very tasty plant and beef burgers and lively atmosphere. Busy and merry, well looked after. We hardly noticed the footy at all!

Went in last sunday for a roast, which was lovely One of the Deserts was missed off of our order after waiting a while asked can we remove it and just settle up the bill, without any response the waitress just turned and walked away... had to wait for bill to confirm this was taken off. 2nd time waitress didnt acknowledge our table in the short time since her shift began. Was just a bit rude tbh and sullied an otherwise good experience.

As always great atmosphere, friendly and polite service. The fish & chpis once again was delicious and that homemade curry sauce- pure delight! The Fellow never disappoints and it's a it's a great pub for a catch up with Friends! Thanks Guys for doing such a fantastic job!

A couple of draught real ales and good atmosphere

Nice place. There are too many reserved tables. Service is a bit slow. Otherwise enjoyed it.

Staff were rude and disinterested

The pub was busy but the staff were really on it

Lovely discovery on my travels! Got off Kings Cross and on my way to the Premier Inn and landed in this pub. What. A. Find! Friendly staff, reasonably priced beer (for London) and a great atmosphere. Bit busy at times but the staff were very accommodating and kind even in the dinner rush. Would very much recommend

Not as good as a previous visit, the food wasn't quite right, including burgers that were cold in the middle. They did replace them pretty quick but no one was particularly overjoyed with their meal and we were 12 people.

Gluten free beer on tap (Deya Magazine Cover)

great pub, great food, great beer

Nice little pub located just outside the station. Had a great fish and chips tasted amazingly good. Great value for money as it was the size of a whale 😂 . Staff couldn’t do enough. Will definitely return.

The data on Google Maps said fish and chips-wrong.

Decent pub with a nice little roof terrace. Good food and even had the benefit of a couple of gluten free beers.

Good food and a lovely little terrace. The service was ok, I just felt like I kept having to get up from my table and ask for things instead of them being offered or provided (sauces, salt and pepper). The staff seemed in a rush to drop the food/drinks and go.

Great food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, what more could you want. Brilliant

Had the pleasure of being served by Autumn and Othalia today, thanks for making us feel so welcome! Can’t wait to come back!

Omg Othalia is a STAR!! Top tier service!!! Added to my favourite pub list.. cheers

Pretty cool pub with a nice roof terrace and some good crafty beer on tap.

Very kind staff, lovely atmosphere, an amazing Sunday roast (the portion size is big and filling!), will definitely be back. Thank you so much

We were a group of five plus some luggage. We had booked and the table was ready for us. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was plenty of space for us and everyone was more than happy with their food. We use St Pancras fairly frequently and we will use this pub again.

I got the fish and chips and they were absolutely stellar. Great atmosphere and fairly friendly service!

Nice pub - staff are great and service is quick

I am really disappointed about these places we are booked for an dinner and we have some beers and drinks and after we buy them they told us we were not allowed with our son around the pub or inside. The way they told us was more of a problem.

Had a great time at the Fellow, team were lovely and attentive. Food was great! Would recommend

Went in the other day and had an amazing time Thanks jack for the wonderful drinks!

Nice little boozer friendly bar staff and good atmosphere

Had a great time at the fellow. Such a Fun atmosphere! Had the chicken wings and fish finger baguette which were tasty and helped sustain us through the many rounds we had!

We really enjoyed the fish and chips here. Best I have ever eaten and the tartar needs to be bottled and sold!! Easy to get to, being across the street from Kings Cross and St. Pancras plus the staff were delightful!! 10/10 for us!

Not only is it a great place for live sports but the Scotch Eggs are amazing. I'd waive a round of drinks just for the Scotch Eggs.

I took a visit to the fellow for drinks after work where I was very warmly welcomed by Hayden, his customer service skills were outstanding and he was so speedy with getting our drinks. Would definitely recommend The Fellow to anyone passing through the area. Thankyou Hayden for such a pleasant experience within the pub
