Harden's survey result
Summary
“Quality meat and good value” have carved a fine reputation for this Canonbury gastropub (part of Noble Inns), which is entering its 10th year in 2023. Whole carcasses are butchered on-site, fish is delivered daily, and it’s a beer-lovers dream, with 20 on tap and 60 bottled.
Summary
“You can’t beat the roast dinner – the meat is always perfect and with delicious side dishes too” – at this Canonbury gastropub, which provides a “great carnivorous treat”. Ingredients are taken seriously: meat is brought in weekly (whole carcasses, butchered in-house) and Cornish fish is delivered daily. The pub side of the operation is not neglected either, with 80 beers in stock (20 on tap) and a list of wines only from small family-owned vineyards. It’s one of four in the Noble Inns chain.
Summary
This “very busy (booking is essential)” gastropub in Canonbury is “great for roast meat” – but the starters and desserts also win plaudits, and “there are so many beers on tap (20) to work your way through”. “Terrific quick meal before a gig, and I didn’t even get to try their signature smoked meat!”.
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).

Smokehouse Islington Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Dishes variable at this long lived islington local. Scallopes too small a starter and macaroni cheese inedible but mains were enjoyable"
"Part of a small group of restaurants based in North London. Has suffered since the pandemic, especially with staffing. Sunday roasts are good but have been better. We choose the small plates over the mains. "
