I would rate 5 for several reasons 1. Food is great. The avocado toast is just perfectly done 2. Warm services, the waitress willing to help to keep a look out for my valuable when I go to restroom. 3. The Camden Town Ale is just wonderful. Also you are dining at a quiet corner which opposite of auditorium where people enjoy their evening and away from the river front. That is just perfect spot for food, location and people. 3:30pm is just nice for the evening. Highly recommended. No doubt

There’s set lunch, quite good. The fried chicken is very delicious, but the beef is a bit small, not sure if it’s enough for male. The frites are yummy, can’t stop eating it. Not much people during lunch on Monday, can have a quiet meal there. Inside is very spacious, tidy and clean, staff are nice too. Good to dine there with getting a view on the canal.

The Union Bar is a great choice for those who want to meet for drinks after work. It isn't too crowded or loud, making it a perfect place for having conversations. If you want to can have the staff take your food and drinks order right at the table making this more convenient than the standard pub. The food is also pretty good here as I have had small plates from here quite a few times. I would recommend the Union anytime.

Food was amazing, I’ve been to 15 Sunday roasts in London and this one has one of the best price/quality ratios. Will be coming back!

Nice place for breakfast. Spacious and cozy with much day light. Food was hot and served fast. Pancake and scrambled eggs were especially good. Coffee was nice. Price is reasonable. Staff is friendly and helpful. Toilets were clean.
