The W. B. Yeats in Islington

Absolutely banging Sunday roast!! Has jumped into my top 3 for sure. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food was impeccable. Had the pork belly, crackling was exceptional, potatoes were out of this world. Cauli cheese comes as standard - as it should (but often doesn’t). Also thought it was pretty good value for money for the quality and quantity of food - £80 for two roasts, 2 large red wines and a beer and incl tip. Will definitely be back.

Went here to meet some friends and we did the quiz. Very friendly staff and reasonably priced drinks, well worth going again when I'm in the area

We came to W B Yeats a few weeks ago for a Sunday roast lunch as it had the best reviews in the area and overall it delivered on most fronts. The eating area looks spacious and airy but it became rather cramped as other diners arrived. Service was good, but not all utensils were completely clean. My roast pork with trimmings was actually very good and quantities were just right. The stuffing, potatoes and burnt apple sauce were nice accompanies. Just a shame that the crackling, though it looked good, was rather chewy. My son's opinion about the pork was similar, but my wife was less excited about her chicken which was rather dry and bland. Prices for London were reasonable. Overall we were happy with our choice to eat here and would recommend W B Yeats to others for Sunday lunch.

Such a great find! Amazing Sunday roast! Visited the WB Yeats with a group of 6 friends, we had such a lovely afternoon. The staff are incredibly friendly & accommodating. We were all in agreement that the food was delicious. I had the Pork & it was cooked beautifully & the roast potatoes they do were life changing haha highly recommend a visit

Best Sunday roast in London. The potatoes are SENSATIONAL, the Yorkshire puds are special, veg cooked to perfection, portions are generous, staff are fab, vibe 10/10. Will be back very soon for more :-)

Very disappointed, we had a roast and the meat wasn’t cooked well which made it u pleasant/impossible to eat. Extremely disappointed! Although, the staff were polite and welcoming.

Although it was the name and look of the place which drew my attention I was glad I came here, it was worth it. I found it a bit too costly but the staff are very good so I didnt mind too much.

Интересный паб, названный в честь ирландского нобелевского лауреата по литературе - W.B. Yeats. Честно признаюсь я про него ничего не слышал ранее, но теперь пробел этот заполнен) Заходили сюда с моей девушкой. Она была неравнодушна к Gypsy Queen (как женщина) я пил любимый свой Guinness. Интересное место, вернёмся сюда послушать музыку))

My family and I had a really horrible time here. The staff were very aggressive and the food was beyond poor. The Faltering Fallback is just around the corner and far nicer.

I've come to the WB Yeats twice for drinks both on Friday and Saturday evenings. The pub has a nice interior and local feel and there is a reasonable, but not stunning, selection of beer. Prices are high for the area and some of the less regularly poured beers don't always taste as good as they do at other pubs. This is not a terrible pub, however for drinking I think there are better pubs in the area.

Food was amazing both myself and my partner loved the food, I am vegan and he eats meat and met both of our requirements!! Staff are very friendly and the whole atmosphere was good defo recommend

The brunch is fantastic, we’ve tried quite a few of the dishes now and it never disappoints. It’s a must try if nearby!

I have had the great pleasure of celebrating my recent May Day birthday at the WB Yeats Pub in Fonthill Road, Finsbury Park N4 - by dining there twice in one week! the first was on the day itself early in the evening with my lovely girl friend and second on the Sunday with my family for a full Roast lunch. The food is superb - as good as it gets and must stand up there with the Michelin starred alternatives but at a reasonable price and in a setting that is so comfortable and informal. Then, if you throw in the service by front of house man - Angus and the supporting cast of Becky and the other guys - then you get a really nice feeling of being welcome and well looked after - which really adds to the vibe of the WBY. We love it! We were booked in to celebrate my girl friends birthday next week at the prestigious Dining Room for lunch at the National Portrait Gallery but after the two meals we had this last week to celebrate my birthday, my girl friend has asked me to switch the reservation to dinner at the WBY! It's brilliant and it's so good to have such a wonderful place to enjoy a treat or a drink after watching the Gunners at the Emirates - when sometimes you need a place to revive your spirits. Many thanks to Angus, the Chefs and everyone at the WBY!

Visited recently with family and I was so impressed with the standard of the roast dinner. Two of us had the beef rump and it was beautifully tender. Two shared the whole roast chicken which was expertly carved at the table. Lamb and pork roast also went down a treat. Massive Yorkshire puddings, great gravy and decent veg too. Save room for dessert. The chocolate fondant is delicious! Excellent service too so a very enjoyable afternoon. Money well spent!

We were greeted immediately at the door by the manager & seated in this bright & friendly pub. The food was absolutely fantastic. If you have pub lunch for 15 you don’t expect all the meat & veg to be perfectly cooked but it all was! All 15 of us had absolutely not complaints. The service was speedy & efficient. It really was a great experience!

Enjoyed a perfect family (adults) lunch in this fine example of a London pub that has adapted to its locality, community and current trends. Great buzzing atmosphere so not for a romantic cosy meal but great food, great drinks selection and friendly, efficient staff and service. The lamb shoulder cassoulet was excellent.

Nine of us had Sunday lunch. The food was great: large portions, the lamb and beef melted in the mouth, enormous Yorkshire puddings. Couldn't manage three courses but will be back for dessert as the crumbly looked heavenly. The atmosphere was bustling but friendly. We weren't rushed from the table. Staff were efficient and very pleasant. All in all a great experience. Can't wait to return.

Cracking local pub with great beers, food and music on a Saturday night. Best in Finsbury Park and there’s a few. Gets it just right

Top local pub with friendly staff, a good range of beers and a decent menu. Wifey and I both had a burger and fries after a few hours DIY. Very tasty and filling - washed down with a cold cider - really hit the spot.

Most improved pub in N4. A hood blessed with 5 decent pubs. But they have curious brew. Some UPS. Also lovely friendly staff. Nuff said. ps good roasts too

Tenía una gran esperanza de este lugar después de leer las críticas, pero seamos honestos, no merece la pena 5 / 5 es? El servicio es muy bueno, las opciones no son malas, si la cerveza es un poco caro. . La calidad de la comida es buena pero no excepcional.

La comida y la cerveza estuvieron muy bien, lo recomiendo para quien quiera comer un rico Sunday Roast.

Me and my boyfriend live near this pub and it is like our second home as we go there so often on our way home. It is also a great place to meet with friends. The pub itself is beautiful, has a terrace, often concerts, great food and great staff!

Visité el domingo pasado con un par de amigos por la fuerza de las críticas y fue increíble. Las patatas asadas en carne de goteo fueron los mejores restaurante/pub roasties que he tenido. Así crujiente y lleno de sabor. Compartí un pollo entero que era húmeda y llena de sabor. Y llegó con salsa de pan, yorkies, vegetales y toda la cosa, simplemente llena de sabor. Carne de mi amigo parecía perfecta; un poco de rosa, y recién tallados como debería ser, pero es poco frecuente. Saben lo que estamos haciendo aquí. El servicio era de primera categoría y el Negroni que tenía era la perfección. Un tesoro escondido de un lugar. He estado exaltar desde entonces.

Vine a este pub con un amigo para el brunch, esperando pub comida tradicional y ese tipo de costo estándar.

Fuimos para el brunch, por el mismo precio que la cafetería de la carretera para la era otro mundo.

Encontré este lugar el domingo pasado con mi novio para asado y deseas que no nos decepcionaron. Mi pareja y yo pasamos el pollo asado que estaba delicioso y muy jugoso, de lejos, uno de los mejores que hemos tenido en Londres. Gran selección de bebidas y personal muy amable y servicial, se duda de que volveremos.

Went for a few drinks and decided to order food, the service was incredible, and the food out of this world. Wonderful vibe with good food, friendly staff. Would recommend to anybody around the North London area for drinks and food. Five stars

Fuimos por la comida y mientras el bar estaba lleno no tienen demasiada gente comiendo. En los pedidos, el camarero anunció que se había acabado de cadera. Aún era temprano (745h) y sólo tienen 5 principales. Mala planificación con pocas alternativas. El camarero era bastante descarados. En esas situaciones un poco de encanto hace mucho. Tenían servicio de mesa para las bebidas, que llegó después de esperar un poco. Pero el bar estaba lleno, así que puedo entender. Cuando nuestra comida llegó habíamos terminado nuestras bebidas pedí al camarero que sólo dijo que era "demasiado ocupado" para conseguir nuevos. No tengo ningún problema con ir al bar para tomar bebidas en un pub, pero si dan la impresión de que no servicio de mesa que necesita ser seguido. El bar era dos o tres de profundidad, así que teníamos que tener nuestra comida sin bebidas. Nunca conocido un bar/restaurante feliz para que esto suceda si soy honesto y el camarero nos dio la impresión de que él estaba demasiado ocupado. El cerdo como la alternativa que pedí a la carne (3 de nosotros queríamos carne) no había sido hecho correctamente (ya que estaba crudo en el centro) otras partes del plato era muy agradable. Esperamos que dicen alguien para las edades al final decidí que me gustaría hacer cuando nuestros platos nos recogieron. Que tardó casi 45 minutos a suceder. Ahora tenía una encantadora camarera que pidió disculpas admitió que 'no estaba a la altura y lo llevó de la factura. Ella era muy buena y profesional.

Lovely modern take on an old Irish pub in Finsbury Park, Irish chef and all. We had an outstanding Sunday lunch here last weekend. Yes, the roasts are perfection but the starters, sides and little touches (such as the toasted seeds on the fresh veg,...

This review is about 5 months late but I still remember the wonderful food and experience! Angus was super welcoming and a great host; we pre-ordered from the Christmas dinner menu which included beef wellington, turkey, blade of beef, loin of cod and mushroom en...

Amazing gastro pub in Finsbury Park I was passing there and thought To go in for a quick drink but when I saw the menu I wanted to try the food too. Amazing

Myself and 7 friends came to the pub yesterday for a roast (I came all the way from South London). Well we ordered 4 beef roasts and 2 of the sharing Chickens. GOD IT WAS A LOT OF FOOD! We ate all of it and...

Our friend has recently moved to the area (we've tipped him off of this place) and we had a bite to eat here before visiting him. We'd booked a table in advance but it seemed to mainly be people in drinking at the times we went. We booked for 5:15, however, we were a bit disappointed that only the brunch menu was available until 6pm. We got some bread and olives as a snack until we could order mains at 6, but this seemed a bit odd in somewhere like London where you might have an early dinner before heading to a show or something. Although the brunch menu looked good, we wanted a bit more than posh eggs on toast! Luckily it was a nice pub and we were quite content waiting. Mains were lovely, I had the miso chicken and my boyfriend had the steak. Steak could've been a bit more seasoned, but oh my, the fries were amazingly crispy. Portion was good and price was a lot better than expected for London, came to just over £50 for mains, a couple of drinks each and bread/olives. I think it was the manager who was attentive and polite, but I found one of the other staff who seemed to have a towel in the back of his trousers more concerned with talking to the locals he knew. These included a family with toddlers who kept running around, including round the back of the bar in a full pub. Was a bit annoying and ruined the atmosphere a little bit, but otherwise a very pleasant meal and will be back when next visiting friends.

Buena cerveza, excelente vino, buen servicio, amable y acogedor, buen ambiente. Espacio para sentarse en el exterior era acogedor, aunque en una calle de Londres. Copa de vino para disfrutar mi vino de.

On my way home from work last friday, after about 5 pints, I called up my mate drew and said 'drew im hungry mate where can we go get some beers and food' and he said 'lets go pub up the road' so i said ' 'mate it better be good im down for a nandos or something actually nice' and he was like 'no actually mate its actually good' so we went and ordered some food.

Excelente personal siguiendo el liderazgo de Angus. La comida genial. Quizás la mejor comida de pub en el norte del Támesis

Sin duda casi sobresaliente por nuestra visita familiar a WB Yeats. El asado los domingos probado excelentes. Tuve carne asada que estaba perfectamente preparada peculiar, el Yorkshire budines eran increíbles y la verdura estaba buenísimo. Había una generosa ayuda de patatas asadas a la familia para compartir y el pub tenía un gran ambiente. Yo estaba impresionado por la postura eco-amigable pubs (no permitamos disponibles, ya que no son bio-degradables). El personal era muy amable, así como puedes ver fue casi perfecto, pero la única decepción fue el hecho de que el servicio era un poco lento y tuvimos que pedir la cuenta 3 veces. Sin duda nos gustaría volver y sin embargo estoy seguro que la próxima vez que te sobresaliente! Gracias por una gran experiencia.

we were traveling to London from Northamptonshire on bank holiday Sunday. we wanted a restaurant withing easy walking distance of the park theater where we were to go and see a play in the afternoon. my partner found this one and rang them Saturday evening to make a booking for two.this process was dealt with quickly and efficiently and the booking made for one o'clock.we arrived at 12.45. went to the bar to order a drink and were shown to table.after a short wait starters arrived, followed after a fair wait by the main courses, I had pork and Ian the beef, both cooked to perfection with curly kale carrots yorkshire pudding roast potatoes and nice thick gravy.the meat was cooked to perfection as was the rest of the meal, and plenty of it. the service and food are highly recommended all in a lovely environment. there was a bit of a wait between starters and mains but that was because it was all cooked fresh to order.we have no hesitation in returning there for a meal on our next visit to the Park theater. David & Ian

Tuve la mejor comida de domingo aquí la semana pasada y no puedo esperar para tener la oportunidad de volver otra vez. La salsa y patatas asadas eran una de las preferidas. La carne era deliciosa y jugosa - que tenía el cerdo, pero tienes que probar la carne y pollo también que eran igualmente buenas. Sería bueno tener detalles en el menú de fuente de la carne ya que obviamente era de alta calidad. Usted también podría potencialmente describir el cerdo asado como baja' y no 'como bajo preparado me preocupaba más invernales y suelto de tarifa. No tuve tiempo de probar este postre pero haremos tiempo para que en mi próxima visita!

Sencillo, sin pretensiones, con excelente comida de pub el pollo asado (2) es increíble y el personal es encantador. Todo debe ir allí.

Tenía el almuerzo más maravilloso domingo aquí, las verduras eran la perfección, la suculenta carne y el servicio fantástico.

Buena comida, buena cerveza y un chico leyenda detrás del bar llamado Angus. Tienen el Ragu y pedir para hacerle un Angus pasadas de moda. . .

popped in twice on Saturday !! what a brilliant pub cheery staff fine selection of beers and wines and good music my son is so lucky to have this as his local (jealous !!)

I just love this little pub. It's unpretentious and simply decorated, but the food has always been great. Shared a whole roast chicken with my daughter last visit, and it couldn't have been better. The service is good, the staff friendly and the prices reasonable. I will be back soon!

3 of us popped in on Friday evening for a pint, I have only been in once before and wanted to give the place another try. It certainly has changed since it was the Duke of Edinburgh pub in the past, I feel it sits in between a pub and restaurant which is not a bad thing if that's what it's aiming for.We sat outside which was cold even with the heaters on and the ashtrays had not been emptied for some time. I feel it is best suited for couples who want a quiet drink and bite to eat.

This place is fast becoming my local. A great hidden gem tucked away on a corner but is worth seeking out for something a little more relaxed than the immediate surroundings. The food is high quality, so don't expect pub food or massive portions but it is very well done and balanced. The staff are very chatty and friendly and the selection of beers is quite good.

We randomly chose to eat here whilst staying in Finsbury Park. The menu was quite limited (we had young children in tow) but both meals that we ordered were superb. I had the steak which was cooked to perfection, and my wife had the cottage pie, which was undoubtedly the best either of us has ever had. It was also easily enough to feed her and the children!Whilst the kids were made welcome, if I was to go again I probably wouldn't take them as the bar and eating areas are one in the same and as mentioned, there wasn't anything in the way of a children's menu. Great pub though!

Good selection of ales, Brew Dog and Truman's mainly. Food menu is a little different, especially the vegetarian options; tasty though. Dog friendly too.

this place is well dressed and clean--good beer selection thats a little dear for me but I suppose we are almost in central London--food looked good but menu a bit on the fancy side for a Yorkie.

Pop here after a gruelling tube journey. Great staff very good priced drinks. Food looks incredible but still to sample. Haven't been here before arsenal games but seeing how well located it is to the stadium I imagine it's a fun place to be

The WB Yeats is without the shadow of a doubt the best pub in the Finsbury Park area!! And I'm not just saying this because I'm usually sitting (or dancing) at the bar almost every weekend. From the moment you enter its doors, you are welcomed by a sense of community created by Colin (the pub manager) and his crew of friendly (and often-times hilariously crazy) staffers. The food (cooked by resident chef, the genius Chef Killian Lynch) is absolutely superb!! So much better than your typical "pub grub". Where else will you get potted rabbit with sourdough toast, ox cheek, XO chicken, venison etc, all cooked to perfection?? Even the skinny fries taste wonderful!! There's always a selection of great ales which changes regularly so you're never left bored, and really good bands play there regularly on weekends (check out their Facebook and Twitter pages). This pub really brings people together like a true community pub should. I am so so proud to call it my local. You really should check it out for yourselves!

Excellent pub with beer garden, providing a great setting to enjoy a few bevvies with friends and savour a meal from a rather exquisite food menu. Service was on point!

Love this place. Colin and the staff are always welcoming and have done the place up nicely and always a good atmosphere in the pub. I live 5 mins away and grateful for it! Alex and Sara

I joined a few of my colleagues last night for Dinner at WB Yeats, to say we were impressed would be an understatement. - The Service, the Staff were all very friendly and professional - The food, Ok let's start with the starter Pork terrine with pickled radish. not usually my thing but in a word - Delicious The Main - Ox cheek - Melt in the mouth and cooked to perfection, the roast potatoes along with the carrot puree again perfect (being Irish I am rather picky about my spuds)Desert - Salt caramel chocolate tart, just try it your tongue will thank you for itIt's a little off the beaten track (Not really it's only a 5 min walk from the station) but well worth the visit

By far the best Sunday roast we have ever had. The coq au vin fell off the bone and was so tender it melted in the mouth- the flavours were like nothing I have ever tasted! The roast beef was just as impressive. We cannot recommend the WB enough- it has everything...great atmosphere, food, drinks and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Looking forward to our next Sunday dinner there !

Would thoroughly recommend the food in this pub. The staff are efficient and provide a good waiting on table service. There was live music on and a real party atmosphere. A great Saturday night out. Thank you.

We really like this pub, its got really friendly bar staff and a friendly local atmosphere. However it is let down by its prices (£5.80 for a cider is too expensive even by London standards!!) and the food (we had a Sunday roast sharing platter, and it was no way big enough for two, and was dry and stringy). Worth a visit for a pint, but an expensive one.

Extremely good food and very friendly staff, the best roast dinner in Finsbury park would highly recommend.

Very friendly and comfortable local pub. It has changed the fabric of Fonthill Road! I haven't tried the food yet but the menu looks very appetising. It is never too busy but always lively and welcoming and we really enjoyed the impromptu live music by customers one Tuesday night. Best Finsbury Park local by a long shot.

We're proud to call this pub our local. Tasty wines and beer, amazing food, fantastic staff and a wonderful ambience. A gem in Finsbury Park!

Glad we made a visit to the W B Yeats. Great selection of craft beers which we were given a few samples of as we are not familiar with a few of them.Having had a look at the menu we decided we would go with the pork belly and the stuffed rabbit and we would have to say that there was not much going back on our plates and if not in public we would probably have licked the plates.Not in London often enough but we will definitely by calling again as there are a few selections on the menu that we are looking forward to trying.

Despite living quite close I've never ventured down Fonthill Road for Sunday lunch before but on hearing good reviews for The W B Yeats decided to check it out. Although the sight of potted rabbit on the menu made me think twice (a close friend has house rabbits that I regularly pet sit!) the Sunday roast was in fact delicious. I'm not normally a fan of rare beef but it was delicious, melting in the mouth. I personally could have done with a bit more veg and less meat but thats a personal preference. Everything was cooked to perfection, the service both at the bar and at the table was impeccable and the staff went out of their way to make sure everything was to our liking. Definitely worth a regular visit.

Beautiful pub, great service, really glad to see that they were doing food again. However the Sunday Roast I had was tiny, two very small slices of beef, two carrots and no other vegetables, a tiny smear of gravy and a few small potatoes at £16 this was a disappointment.

Simply one of the nicest meals I've ever had. Potted rabbit to start followed by gorgeous steak, perfectly cooked. Highly recommended.

Outstanding Menu at the W.B. Yeats. Chef Killian was absolutely spot on with his Braised Beef and Pork Belly dishes. Definitely fine dining quality food at a reasonable price.The staff are always friendly here , and with their high quality selection of Spirits, Wine and Craft beers, this is definitely one of the best pubs around.

I visited here last week and LOVED it! The menu is surprisingly sophisticated for a local gastropub - and the food is amazing. I had a pork and pistachio terrine first, followed by a lightly spiced lamb ragu with pappardelle. Both were absolutely delicious - especially the fresh pasta. I have to say, the whole meal was faultless - and the others at my table were equally impressed. The place had a great atmosphere too - it's really nicely decorated, and I enjoyed a couple of lovely glasses of sauvignon blanc along with my food. I will definitely be back in the very near future - looking forward to trying the Sunday lunch!

Was in for a few beers with friends, loads of choice. But went for a new brewdog one I've not seen before. Saw they had deviled kidneys on the menu and immediately jumped on it as it's rare to get offal these days. I must say it was amazing. I could have ate multiple servings if they hadn't sold out so quickly. Looking at the menu I'll be back very quickly. Best pub menu I've seen in the area hands down.

Visited for a roast dinner as we heard they had a new chef and I couldn't find a single thing wrong with the meal. Service, food and atmosphere was excellent and just what you want from a pub & kitchen. Between us we ordered the suckling pig belly, roast beef, pan fried sea trout and roast chicken. All were gorgeous and cooked to perfection - I've never tasted such perfect pork belly and crackling! The dessert was amazing as well - dark chocolate and salted caramel tart which I was reluctant to share!They have lots of craft beers available, ones that were new to me, and they have a fantastic selection of spirits and wine.Can't wait to go back to sample more food!

Lovely pub for a quiet midweek drink, after having been in a restaurant nearby in Finsbury Park. Great selection of beers on tap and friendly bar staff.

Aside of bar snacks, I have not ate here. However, it is a nice and clean pub with friendly bar staff. There are good selection of beers and spirits and the prices are not too expensive considering you are in London.Please feel free to visit this pub but avoid post-Arsenal matches as my friends and I would still like to sit at a table.

first time for Sunday Lunch, we definitely recommend. Excellent quality food prepared deliciously and presented very professionally. Friendly service. Also dog friendly which is great.

It was a trek to Finsbury Park, but so worth the effort. Snigdha, a young professionally trained chef has started her food residency at the pub. Her food, in Snigdha's words is a fusion between Indian and French. While the starting point of her food is Indian, her style, including her plating is all French restaurant style. There were three of us, so we decided to order different dishes from the menu and try as many of her dishes as possible. We ordered three starters ~ crispy okra with balsamic reduction, whole leaf spinach tempura chaat with sweet tamarind and yogurt and the masala chips. Now Snigdha's nibbles are perfect. We loved all three, specially the okra and the spinach. Snigdha has taken two very regular (and often boring) vegetables from the Indian kitchen and given them a magic make-over. Both are great examples of fusion food at it's best. The masala chips were spicy and flavoured just right. All three were a treat with our drinks. For the mains we ordered chicken mappas with basmati rice, warm spiced lamb meatballs, and apricot and paneer koftas. Three completely different dishes with different flavours. According to Snigdha she has taken classic Indian dishes and given them a French make-over. If the layers of flavours in a curry overwhelms you, these dishes with cleaner, more European flavours are a great starting point. Though stuffed we moved onto the dessert and ordered her chocolate torte with chilli cream. Now that was fabulous and among the three of us the torte flew off the plate. Snigdha is a talent to watch, let's hope she continues her fusion magic!The pub looks new and clean with big windows all around, the stuff were very friendly, and by the time we left around 9 in the evening, it was buzzing. A nice place to catch up on drinks with your mates and of course munch on Snigdha's nibbles.

I got invited here by a friend of the new cook - wasn't really sure what to expect. I was blown away! We had one of each starter - and they were all good (vodka with pani puri!) but the spinach tempura clearly stood out and we had seconds! The veggie mains of kofta had a surprise at the centre and was unapologetic in its spiciness. The lamb was good, I was told, the fish better and the chicken fantastic! The desserts again were unusual - while the chocolate tart had a pleasant kick of chilli, the pineapple carpaccio with coconut icecream was stunning. This is not in my part of town, but I just might go back there for the tempura and the carpaccio!

es un lugar muy elegante, la atencion es esquisita, incluso tenia mesero que hablaba mi idioma. La comida muy bien presentada y sabrosa, pero poca.

We have been to this pub many times since it opened, the Sunday lunch is delicious & the snacks just as good. The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome, even better when the sport is on! Good Music & drinks. One of the best places to meet up with friends.

Great local pub with lovely staff and a great selection of drinks. Definitely the right place to choose if you want a community feel with friendly regulars as well as the occasional live music night.

I have eaten here on several occasions now,since the kitchen opened and always the food has been superb.The staff very friendly and informal,while still being attentive. The surroundings are nice and clean.I will be back again and again for sure.

Came here with friends on St. Patrick's weekend. The place was pretty quiet and surprisingly few people dining but food on the whole was really lovely. The usual chef was apparently not there so they didn't have their usual menu (Sunday carvery roast I believe) but I was not disappointed. It felt like food made with love and care. One friend thought the burger portion size was a bit small but the rest were happy.

This place deserves to be packed! The gastro type food is delicious and the service is friendly and it has great pub atmosphere. Great for locals and people coming to the theatre. Well worth a visit!

Fast becoming one of the best bars in North London. Excellent selection of whiskey beers and ales. Great cheffy burgers and fab sunday dinner. Fabulous!

Popped in here a few weeks back to watch the arsenal game with a few mates.....really comfortable setting to watch a game with a few pints. Also, when a few of us got peckish, we tried the food, which was very tasty....will definitely be back next time I'm in the area...

Don't understand why this place isn't more popular. It's a usual local gastropub serving a good selection of wines and beers and some robust British cooking including a good selection of burgers.The food is done to a good standard and is a value price: we had two mains and a glass of wine for £32.Anywhere else the place would be packed in an evening but I'm not complaining as I get a table!

If this was slightly less off the beaten track, it would be one of the busiest pubs in London! It is the best local I have ever had! It has so much charm and character, helped by really friendly staff a great selection of beers and a REALLY GOOD kitchen. I've eaten there 3 times now, each time a different menu and each time really high quality food cooked with care! Get in there now people, once this place gets 'discovered' it's going to be hard to get a table!

This pub really puts the cherry on the cake of moving to Finsbury Park.It is an amazing local, the staff are friendly and it doesn't matter what your purpose for going is (with family, friends, or just for a quiet pint), this place is super welcoming! On top of that, the regularly changing food menu has never even come close to disappointing me - it is AMAZING.

We have eaten here several times now and the food has been very good... battered fish, burgers and various vegetarian. All very good indeed. The staff are friendly and helpful and there is a nice atmosphere. We ate very similar dishes last night at a nearby pub which was disappointing and promoted me to review the W B Yeats.

Went for a friends birthday lunch. Recommended it because it has the best beer selection in the Finsbury Park area but was even more impressed with the food. I hope it gets discovered by more so they can afford to maintain the quality.

Quick visit to the recently refurbished pub in otherwise slightly shabby Fonthill Road. Outside seating area with flowers + awning; inhabited largely by smokers. Food looks interesting and the starter of potted beef at £4.50 was good value. Will be going back as it is 5 minutes walk away.
