One of my favourite pubs in London. A small pub with a big heart . Well chosen ales on draught & in bottles. Brilliant wine and spirit selection should you feel inclined too. Oh and the food is ace!

Marc Frost

Great beer selection for a smaller pub thats a little off of the beaten track . Always a good cider or 2, a lager or 2 and a couple great ales - even some pretty good food :)

I had here one of the besf dinner I ever had since I moved to London. Goat cheese , 4 cheese tart and posset were an explosion of flavours. I'll definetly be back

Difficult to find good seating at times, but definitely come here for lunch or dinner - the food is sublime, as is their beer selection .

The best pub in the area. Awesome bar snacks , good beer , lovely atmosphere although it can get busy. Look out for the fantastic maps in the dining room!

Great pub with good a variety of beers . The service was great, and the scotch egg was delicious!

The second best pub in Angel according to our recent poll. The superior sausage roll and preponderance of London maps tempt us into declaring it the best.

Simon Saint

Amazing lock pub with great French food and a wonderful selection of beers .
