Arsenal-heavy sports pub with full menu and outdoor seating . Lots of TV screens and a standard tap list .
Love the skinny chips . But their choice of music is really to die for.
They have a great new concept quiz night here every Monday at 8pm. No pen or paper. Play on your smartphone or tablet. £2 entry and £50 Bar tab to be won!
Recommend Stilton & thyme tart also fishfinger sarnie :) gooooood food. Wine also good. Pub totally surpassed expectations on all levels, not the football basic pub I was expecting. Goallllllllllll!
Go early to get a good spot, very popular
Perfect place to watch some sports with a fancy beer . Used to be crowded , so go early.
This pub is most certainly not closed! I run a weekly Speedquizzing night at it every Monday!
Food alright, recommand it to watch Arsenal' games. For a light option you have the baked Aubergine .
go for the name and be proud that you went to a pub in England called the famous cock
Good place to meet people instead of waiting outside Highbury and islington station.
Thyme roasted med vegetables had waaaaay too much olive oil and the house burger was overcooked and under-spiced. Skinny chips are pretty tasty though.
You might have to go for a beer or seven, or atleast just for the name
Very good food just had sausages and mash . NiCe mmmm
Yeah buy some beer then go next door to the white swan where nice ale is cheaper.
Cheap and cheerful. Good venue to watch the footy
Cool pub , great value
Very respectable steak and chips for £5 !
Good spot to watch Arsenal's game
Really enjoyed the 10oz burger !
It is definitely not permanently closed!
Handy if your meeting someone at the tube otherwise nothing special here...
Beer selection was OKish and the music was too loud .
Handy for the station.
Food is quality... Chunky chips are a winner :-)
The bouncer on the Friday night was rude. He even spat at us. Not a friendly place to be in. Avoid until they get rid of the bouncer.
The real name is actually: "The famous cock." No joke
Chunky chips were mostly undercooked. Skinny ones were nice.
Your mum was well satisfied.
£2.35 a pint = shit hole !
Err. It's expensive . Don't bother.
Avoid! Rude staff , poor service, will never be going back again
Avoid the fosters
Damn... the Famous Cock is closed...what'll I do now??
