    2/5 stars

    The Standard’s editor visits “one of the finest old gin palaces in London” – a haunt she’s “frequented it in all its incarnations” that’s now been “re-re-launched with... [a] less gritty menu”.

She seems to feel unlucky about her menu choice and “suspect[s] there are some good things lurking”. In her case, though, a partridge suffers “turboblasting… to death” and the meal gives rise to the extremely valid general complaint that “gastropub chefs do seem alarmingly fond of the salt cellar”. Still, service is “obliging” and prices such that “it should be a real credit crunch tip for Islington gentlefolk fallen on hard times”.
