What a lovely place made lovelier by the people who work there. We had a special occasion and the host, who is absolutely charming and kind, and the young woman waiting on our table, also absolutely charming and kind, helped us celebrate. The burger was not the best we’ve had, the patty was way too thick and the bread couldn’t hold the burger together. But the Burratta with grilled peaches was excellent so was the dessert (chocolate brownie cheesecake). Will be returning to experience their wonderful hospitality and food (and pub) again.

Lovely pub and nice setting. Unfortunately our dining experience was very poor. The mackerel for one of our group was uncooked and when it was returned to the kitchen it came back with the comment that it is not going to do you any harm, so no apology despite it being quite visibly raw. The serving staff were very good but very surprised at the attitude from the kitchen. I expect there is a captive market in Barnsbury given the charm of the pub but also can’t understand why they can’t get men’s toilets to flush leaving what can only be described as ‘sausage and mash’ in the toilet pan, not…

Nice pub setting however the drinks are over priced and the quality of food is miserable. This burger cost me £20. It had a slice of nondescript cheese, some pickle and a tiny bit of salad. Embarrassing really. Go there for an expensive beer but avoid the food. There are plenty of better places to eat nearby that don’t claim to be gastro…
