I popped in here for a quick bite and a beer mid week after work. This place has a great atmosphere and plenty of screens for watching football. Service was quick and efficient and they have a good selection of lesser known draft beers. I had a cheeseburger which was fine. The highlight was it had relish which seems to be a lost condiment nowadays. It was good meat and not too overloaded with salad. It was a deal for a beer and burger and good value for the area. I’m not in angel often but my overall impression of this place is that I would go back.

Went for afternoon beers and food with friends. Decent, nice beer and food if not cheap, but it is central London I suppose. Quiet on a Tuesday afternoon but that is to be expected.

I've been a regular for years and it's a very nice pub in a great location, but the prices are extortionate, even for a London pub. The stake & ale pie, while good, was not worth £17 and is served in a half empty plate - could use more/better garnish for the price (Also, what happened to the legendary sweet potato fries? This place is not the same without them). Also, I expect pints to be somewhat overpriced in a pub like this but not to this extent - 1 pint plus this pie was £24! The staff are nice and efficient.

Large but welcoming pub just a stones throw from Highbury and Islington Station. Good variety of seating from large tables (inside and out) to comfy sofas or bar stools. Staff were friendly and happily recommended one of the micro beers which are brewed on site. We only popped in for one but would definitely return next time we are in the area. Dog friendly too.

I visited on a couple of Wednesday evenings and discovered that Wednesdays are jam session nights! The music was fantastic, the wine delightful and the atmosphere splendid. The staff were exceptionally friendly. Highly recommended if you enjoy a tipple accompanied by excellent music!
