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”.

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”.

“Never had a duff meal” – this ten-year-old Islington gastroboozer is “consistently great”, and regulars reckon themselves “very lucky to have it as our local gastropub”. As the name suggests, they specialise in butchering their own meat for the kitchen.

For 33 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).
