Harden's survey result
Summary
“An absolute top roast, and service just as it should be in a pub” inspire ongoing love for this Islington gastroboozer, especially for its “just spectacular” meat dishes, from carcases butchered on-site in their own butchery.
Summary
We’re “very lucky to have it as our local”, say regulars at this Islington gastropub with the unusual facility of an in-house butchery to ensure high-quality meat. “I’ve been dozens of times, and never had a bum meal”.
Summary
This “great neighbourhood gastropub” in Islington is “very strong all-round”, and the in-house butchery means it delivers a “stunning roast”. It’s still winning excellent ratings after a dozen years, with just a single gripe this year – “they only had one vaguely interesting beer on tap”.
Summary
This “pretty decent gastropub” – “the best in Islington” by some reckoning – butchers its own meat for the table. Everyone agrees that the food is “high quality” – “even the snacks are great!” – but “it’s a busy place and the service is a little chaotic”.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"A rare off day, with a very noisy front room due to big groups and then an uninspiring menu."
"Spot for a local gastro pub. Very consistent. Decent value. Great staff."
