There’s plenty of space for alfresco quaffing in an enormous front garden that spills down the sides of this friendly pub . You can sop up the booze with regular summer barbecues (weather permitting). Read more

I had the beef short rib . Was very filling and yummy! The beef was the star of the show. Quite a wait for the food so that's wasn't great but I was happy with the meal. Atmosphere is quite nice too.

Cozy pub with a good beer selection . Lots of indoor and outdoor seating . Friendly service , average pub grub , OK roasts with veggie/vegan options. Kid and Dog friendly .

Lars Panzerbjørn

Good beer selection . The burgers are pitiful, but the fish and chips is top notch. Avoid on match days...

Vic McGin

Huge revamped beer garden ! Bar inside is always understaffed and busy, get a bottle of something to save you regularly going there.

Jenny Hunter

Good selection of beers on tap and cozy inside . Loads of outdoor space when the sun's out, too. Not a big fan of the food though.

Ben Stallwood

Nice venue- DREADFUL FOOD

John Gilberts

Great quiz night on a Tuesday, and big enough to usually have a table free. Good pub fare too.

Ralph Mallett

Decent beer garden and beer selection but the bar gets very crowded on even mildly sunny days, and rammed when Arsenal are playing

Élina Mosaddegh

Great place to sit and have a beer ???? The burgers were fine, the staffs were newbies.

Russell Barnes

Great for a chilled Sunday beer and browse through the papers.

Simon Donaldson

You can now book a cubby in the beer garden and there is am outside bar !

Good hearty food menu. Spacious beer garden . Decent draft beer selection .

Oli Dowdeswell

Great music , brilliant food, good atmosphere when busy but service can slow up as a result.

Brittany Sübers

Laid back and get always get a seat!

Naomi Davies

Try the fish & chips - the best in islington! Massive beer garden out front to relax on a Sunday with the papers and a jug of sangria or pimms

David A. Symons

We stopped here for a Sunday roast after buying a beautiful Christmas tree next door ???? mulled wine was tasty but the roast was of poor quality. Really disappointing. Will never eat here again!

Nick Petrie

Great selection of beer on tap and the food is better than your standard pub fare

Florie Roudet

We showed up in the middle of the afternoon but still had to wait for 45 min to get our food. Burger was very average, and so was the veggie tart . I wouldn't recommend this place for food.

Soap Achu

Great pub which could be stellar with better service.

Mike Scott

Good pub quiz food ok

Miles Norris

Great ales

The food here is really good... Just don't get the burger , it's tiny and for the money a rip off.

Kevin Schmidt

2 meals and 2 drinks deal is for dinner too. Great deal.

Kevin Hudson

Lovely outdoor area .

Daniel Winston

Don't be fooled into buying food here. Fish and chips was frozen and cold in the centre when I got it 20 minutes after everyone else. I complained and got asked to fill in a comment sheet... Terrible
