The Snooty Fox Pub in Islington

Popped in on my way to an art show, nice little boozer! Would pop by again in i was in the area!

One of the best pubs in the area! Great music, oh the music is excellent! Thank you for a really enjoyable experience.

Cool pub. Great staff, gets busy and packed

Great food. Amazing service. Slightly average beers. Music was too quiet - but many people won’t complain about that. Wednesday deal of £15 for a burger and pint is a steal.

He estado allí con algunos amigos para Sunday Roast y Oh my ! mejor Sunday Roast en mucho tiempo , sin duda volveré. Gracias por el servicio. Danny fue muy agradable hablar con él. Muy bien mantenido lager.

Great little pub in a quiet neighbourhood Super tasty food, good prices for the meals too. Friendly staff. Can sit outside if you want to! Certainly recommended!

Así que pedí la hamburguesa vegana y traté de agregar queso vegano y tocino vegano. Aparentemente no tenían queso vegano, ya que la gente no lo pedía lo suficiente y no tenían tocino vegano, aunque no pregunté por qué. Ambas eran opciones de menú, lo que lleva a la pregunta, ¿por qué tenerlas en su menú de alimentos si en realidad no las ofrece?

Lovely pub and well decorated. Fresh flowers on the tables. Wasn't there for long so can't give 5 stars but I'd definitely return if I was in the area again

Took friends here tonight for a meal… Badly cooked chicken that had a strange aftertaste and mushy sea bass …undercooked chips … and rude service… Not what you want on a Saturday night.. Such a shame as it is a lovely pub with great potential..

Love the Snooty. Its our go to pub in the area. the team are so friendly, the food is great

Amazing experience really nice friendly and polite staff,the Sunday roast was absolutely delicious great portion size fantastic flavours.

A good local pub nearby Canonbury station. There is a good range of food on the menu but it's not the most comfortable place to watch sports as the screens are too high. Would be great for a catch-up with friends, however.

Very reasonably priced pub in a lovely area. Looks like lots of events and evenings are on quite often, and the food looked pretty good even if we didn't order.

Nice pub next to Canonbury Station. Atmosperically decorated with old prints of actors and pop stars. Good selection of beverages to choose from, although we didn't sample anything from the food menu. The kitchen opens onto the bar area so you can see food being prepared. Would definitely use again when travelling to or from Canonbury Station.

Big fan of the snooty fox. Great little local and incredibly friendly staff. perfect in the wind and rain!

Lovely pub in the suburbs of London. We went there for a beer and lunch. We got a nice fish and chips, a vegetarian burger, mac and cheese and we finished with sticky toffee with ice cream. Not the best for food but it is in a really convenient place just outside the train station and with good atmosphere.

Unfortunately the roasts were really poor - everything was dry and tasteless. The beef was so overdone that even my steak knife was struggling to get through it. One piece of cauliflower cheese on the plate (honestly, what is the point?”) 2 stars because the service was good, just let down by the kitchen

We attended a wedding party here, so the tables had been rearranged to accommodate a larger group and allow for dancing. Great food served as a help yourself buffet. The staff were helpful and worked hard. A great evening. Thank you!

Cozy pub, friendly staff. Grilled chicken burger though was what prompted to leave a review. Outstanding - better than most burger places!

Very nice little pub. I attended the pub last week and it was very welcoming. The staff were very friendly and happy to help. I didn't try the food, although the menu looked great. Place is quite cosy but that's not a bad thing at all. Great service will definitely return to try some of the food.

Sub par roast, yorkies came out burnt, potatoes were terrible, cauli/broccoli were mushy. Beef was chewy Table of 8 sat down 3pm Sunday, and didn't get welcomed or served for 15 minutes until we went up and asked (it was only half full)

Very average food and drinks for the price. Staff not very attentive. Atmosphere nothing special

2024 and still as wonderful as ever. Amazing Sunday roasts with incredible roast potatoes and all the trimmings including proper amounts of gravy! Wonderful local pub with extremely good rotisserie chickens. It is a nice cozy pub with various seating options. Food is casual and comfortable with options for small groups and walk ins. They've changed the chefs again and tonight the chicken was the best we've had there for years. They should include the gravy though and not charge for it like they used to and offer roast potatoes as an option. The brownie and flori Di latte was delicious, soft and creamy.

Funky pub with a gravy heavy Sunday roast (we love gravy!) I’d suggest a few more greens. Love the prints on the wall. The only critique I’d give is the tight spaces. A little hard to move around

Just had a meal with my family which included 2 children. We were served by Linda and she was extremely attentive. Very accommodating. Food was lovely and good value for Money. Thanks for a great experience

Interesting surrounds provide plenty of conversational topics for those searching, and the drink options are satisfactory.

…which has interesting decor and a superb drinks and food selection, as well as friendly locals and staff. Great second stop on our Christmas pub crawl!

Great customer service and good food. We were well looked after

Nice atmosphere, good service and nice food.

Becoming a regular whenever I am in London. Good food Well worth visiting Thanks

Lovely pub, a very enjoyable Sunday roast and a great atmosphere. The NSM City-2 jukebox hasn't worked in 2.5 years now to though, which is really disappointing. It's an expensive exotic light currently. Please fix it! It would be a great feature for the pub

Went in for a Sunday Roast as a table of 6 with 2 vegans in our party. The meat roasts were great - big portions and the gravy was really tasty, although the carrots and parsnips were slightly cold and undercooked. However, the vegan roast was an embarrassment. The waitress forgot to mention it doesn't come with the cauliflower cheese nor Yorkshire pudding despite them having a vegan cauliflower cheese as a starter available on the menu and the menu specifically says "All roasts served with cauliflower cheese & Yorkshire pudding". They only told us when they were putting the meal in front of us. The vegan gravy was so watery and the "Roast Vegan Meat" was literally a fried dry Beyond Burger. Not sure if this is the standard but for 17 pounds I would definitely recommend avoiding the vegan option.

Great but put the heating on eh

Snooty by name, snooty by nature. Decent enough pub but unfortunately let down by a grumpy manager.

Went for a Sunday roast, sat in the little garden area which is really nice, food was great, if I could I'd just get plate full of potatoes they're 10/10, staff was friendly

Great little pub, generally a pretty good Sunday lunch

Great food, friendly staff, cosy atmosphere, bosh, done (words of the wife). Much better than The CPT. More heart than the Alwyne. Much nicer than the Weaver's Arms. Wife happy.

Was closed at 22:12 on Monday. Hours on Google need updating.

Lovely pub and reasonably priced given its location. Nice friendly staff also.

Spot on pub, beer Garden on thw front is small but if you get a seat it's somewhere you can sit and pass the hours in peace, with good beers on draft.

Great service, very welcoming and would highly recommend visiting this establishment.

Filthy glasses , sunday lunch was despicable, soggy chicken , old roast potatoes which resembled boiled potato, the cauliflower cheese was nice , tiny portion unfortunately .

Lovely pub , nice atmosphere and great staff.

Lovely pub, great food and staff were very helpful and friendly. Had an event here and it went great.

One of few pubs in the area with aspalls on draught, always great service and Will is an absolute diamond of a manager!

Wonderful local pub with extremely good rotisserie chickens.

Spot on burgers, compliments to the chef!

Quite simply the best pub in Highbury/Canonbury. Everyone who works there is amazing, a really friendly bunch of people who give the place such a great atmosphere. The new food is really good (make sure you try their Sunday roast). Fantastic selection of beer at very reasonable prices. Lovely little beer garden and benches at the front… what’s not to love!

We have been to the Snooty Fox twice now for food - On the first occasion, I was with two others and we ordered burgers, my burger turned up, and the entire bun (on both sides) was covered in mould - how the chef failed to notice this blew my mind, a rather embarrassed waitress took it away and offered me a free drink, and had the food remade, however it meant I was then eating well after my friends had finished, which isn't really the point of going out for dinner together. A year or so later, we decided to go back having heard that James Cochran's Around the Cluck was going to be there for a limited time. Eating with 4 other friends, my partner went to the bar with the entire tables order, thinking it would be easier if we all ordered at once, as it would mean all the food would come out together. He gave the bar staff a written order on his phone so it was clear. Unfortunately despite having had something to copy, a meal was missed, which meant again, that one of us was eating a long time after the rest of us had finished, and that all of the shared sides we had bought between us were cold for my partner. I just think that's the second time we've been, and the second disappointing meal. with no proper apology from those serving. It's a shame as it's a local pub to us, and we really want to enjoy going there.

Love this pub it’s our long term local , truely the new chicken restaurant is terrible though , quality of food is so low :(

They have charged me a full price for a half pint. Disgraceful!

Went here for the first time for drinks and bite to eat as it was convenient placed for my group of friend to meet. They advertise having a great range of beers but half of the beers pumps were turned around and unavailable. The food was awful. The chicken burgers had no discernible chicken in them, they were all 'crispy coating' in a bun, and everything was doused in excessive amounts of salt. Nothing healthy on the plate. If your diet consists of only salt and fat then this is the place for you, otherwise avoid.

Intimate pub, with clean toilets 🚻

It is a good experience here in London and at the participation of the EET GROUP Training they were awesome

Nice pub for a pint in the Canonbury area, however 3 wings per portion of chicken wings is ridiculously overpriced.

An absolute gem of a pub, fabulous drinks selection and excellent service. Favourite pub in london hands down.

Had the best burger on hackney. I'll be back

Lovely, lovely pub. Takes care of good beer. Always had great food until recently, when the food has gone down hill terribly.

Vegetarian roast was pretty average. Dried Yorkshire pudding and HARD seitan. Service was very good though

Was charged £22 for 2 pints of lager and a glass of red wine. And the Asahi lager was served in some other glass- Amstel, or something similarly impoverished, making the £7+ price tag all the more galling. Full of shouty young people

Excellent place for our quarterly business meetings. We can synergise across functionalities easily with help from their delicious beer, lovely food, and cosy atmosphere. The gnocchi helped us reach some good decisions.

Good selection of ales in great condition

Unique atmosphere and lovely staff. Great beer selections. Fusion nibbles during the week and excellent roast on Sundays. I 100% recommend.

Delightful beer, delightful food, delightful pub

Roast was delicious and generous

🚇Canonbury 🍺 £6.00 Pilsner Urquell ❤️ One of Islington’s favourites. . The Snooty Fox is located kinda sandwiched between Highbury and Newington Green. Canonbury Overground is just down the road and Highbury & Islington tube is a ten minute walk away. . This pub has a curved facade that links both sides of Grosvenor Avenue. This is a good size one bar pub which has some traditional and modern features. There are beautiful green tiles around the servery and a brass fireplace on the far wall. The walls are adorned with music legends including Tina Turner and John Lennon. Sticking with the music theme, there is a vinyl jukebox that spins old 45’s. . This independent pub has an excellent choice of beers including five rotating cask options. I had a Pilsner Urquell which was a lovely drop and average price. The food menu has a good mix of dishes including rotisserie chicken, pub classics and roasts on a Sunday. . The atmosphere was relaxing on this Saturday lunchtime and the pub was gradually filling up. I was served by a very personable lady who seemed to be the landlady, she was busy welcoming in punters and tending to their orders and running food. The clientele was a mix of young and old, drinkers and diners. . The @snootyfoxlondon is passionate about its beer and food and was recently recognised by CAMRA as North London pub of the year. I really enjoyed my visit here, this is a great pub for all occasions. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 15/10/22

Nice. Crowded Sunday afternoon.

Ambiente agradável, staff simpáticos , fish and chips estava uma delícia plus para as ervilhas, foi a melhor que já provei , super recomendo.

Lovely little cosy local spot. Staff are very friendly.

Great place fabulous friendly staff great beer ,took my daughter and grandson in and couldnt have been made more welcome !!!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the food (I had the seabass off the specials) was absolutely superb.

Nice atmosphere and good food. Get a booking for Fridays Saturdays or else it will be impossible to get a table

Nice staff. Beer selection isn't great and food mediocre, I'm afraid.

Nice atmosphere, lovely old pub with character. Good food. Toilets could do with a refurb but overall great boozer.

We went there as a group for Christmas lunch. The food was amazing, turkey with salad and gravy was very good, pints of beer tasted normal, and the desert was breathtaking. The atmosphere is olden style, i would recommend giving this place a visit.

Great bar/pub. I would recommend a visit.

Me and a couple of friends went on the weekend. Amazing experience, food was amazing with a great price and a refreshing atmosphere. There was a minor complaint that the middle aged female server seemed rather gloomy and brought down the overall vibe, other than that it was great.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Lelu at the Snooty, and the staff, made me and my friends feel so welcome. A great night had by all.

Really enjoyed the Sunday roast, lots of options for meat eaters. However, my friend is vegetarian and has a nut allergy, and the menu on the website offered a roast seitan dish. Unfortunately, when we arrive they only had a nut roast for vegetarians. The waitress was really accommodating and offered my friend all the trimmings in lieu of a main. Would be 5 stars if they updated their menu online and had a few more options for vegetarians, but otherwise the roast, drinks and service were great and I'll definitely be back!

Lovely local pub, cosy, friendly warm. Nice Sunday roasts too with lots of different options, different meats and veggie options.

Great atmosphere, really lovely service, yummy food and overall good time!

A really great local pub, really good service - I think better for real ales than modern IPAs - I'd love to see a more interesting modern IPA than Beavertown, but it suffices. Roast dinner is mostly very good - especially the gravy, which is superb. Yorkie was burnt on this occasion - they aren't perfect but they are loveable. And you get a proper warm, community kind of feel from this pub. Do give it a try.

Great neighborhood pub right around the corner from me. I’ve been a number of times and this is my first review! Love the ambiance, quite roomy, has outdoor seating, and a nice range of beers. Great spot to hangout with friends over a pint in the neighborhood! Its my go-to!

Love this little local pub. Great ales and food, lovely service. And place gets bathed with sun at the end of the afternoon which makes it lovely sitting there sipping a nice beer.

Good pub near Canonbury Station and not far from the Emirates Stadium. 4 cask beers - and 1 cider - on handpump when I last visited. A few tables and benches outside. Not too busy after the North London Derby.

Very nice pub, good atmosphere and welcoming, friendly staff. Stopped for a drink or two before going out to eat so didn't sample the food but the menu looked great! Nice buzz on a Saturday night - good vibe. I'd definitely go back and would order something to eat for sure

A brilliant range of beer, really nice food and a great friendly atmosphere.

We love this pub!The Sunday roast is fantastic and the service is always warm and inclusive. Go as you are, you will not be disappointed.

Great vibe. Great beer. Close to the station for those that like an Irish Exit!

Decent food, we were pleasantly surprised.q

Good vibes, fun aesthetic and prices typical of London

A great local! Been going in 16 years...

The most wonderful local with even lovelier staff! You were all absolutely amazing letting me reserve your space for my birthday. Big thanks to Lexi, Nicole, Alex and Will especially.

Great neighborhood spot in a great location

Good sunday roast, nice selection of beers and ales. Wines if you fancy too.

Such a nice place generally and was reluctant to write this review but was with boyfriend and caught a couple of dirty/ lingering looks from the bartender. Not really felt uncomfortable before but dunno would ideally like this not to happen again

Amazing manager, food is quality, music and ambience are excellent. It's a truly lovely pub and worth a visit if you're in the area. Book a table on weekends - it's popular and known to get busy. They also host occasional wine tastings, open mics and quizzes so check their site beforehand. Love it here. 100% coming back again.

Nice Pub that serves excellent Ale's

Good selection of Beers Menu looked good will sample another time
