Price
Pros:
"Prices are right."
"Drinks were Islington prices...but didn't break the bank!"
"Decent pub, food is cheap for London especially being on Upper St."
Cons:
"Due to 'Dynamic Pricing' my pint of 3.5% Pale Ale was £8.25."
"However, £8 for a pint of beer is absolutely ridiculous."
"I could not believe the prices in here!"
"Decor fine, locality excellent but prices woefully extortionate."
"Having paid £7.10 for a Neck oil in early April, I was charged £8.10!"
"Paid nearly £18 for two drinks, when I questioned it the barmaid said it was 'event pricing'."
"Nice place, but 'surge pricing' almost 10 quid for a beer and different pricing at different times seems a bit disingenuous."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"Staff were polite and friendly."
"Staff are really lovely and helpful."
"The staff working in the pub are very helpful and efficient."
"Lovely place, great staff that are friendly and attentive and really deliver 1st class service."

"Was served by a bright and enthusiastic staff member called Rina who promptly took our orders."
"What a lovely pub staff so friendly and helpful had chicken wings and they were delicious, had a lovely chat with the manager who was lovely such a difference from when we visited a year ago will Deffo be back when next London."
Cons:
"One of your staff members was super rude on Friday last."
"Staff very rude. Could not buy drinks by the glass but had to be bottles only, even though menu had glass price."
"One female member of staff was rude and obnoxious."
"To be honest, it was pretty terrible service."
"Gave up after 1 hour wait, when told my order of 2 Sunday roasts would take another 20 mins."
"Terribly rude staff. Was there for a big football event so the pub was quite busy and one member of staff was rudely screaming at everyone to move out of her way every time she came through the room."
"The staff were SO rude and the food was abysmal."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The small bites tacos were nice with a wide variety."
"Food was very tasty so we sent compliments to the chef."
"They make nice chicken wings."
"Great bar food 👌."
"Saw some food coming out to tables so ordered Loaded Fries with Chicken and Chicken Wings with buffalo sauce. Pretty good!"
"Ever since I tried the fried chicken wings I've been totally addicted to them! Delicious!"
"Although it was a busy Sunday and they ran out of most of what we were interested in on the menu - Giovanni guided us to a buttermilk chicken sandwich and some peri-peri/bbq wings that sufficed my (h)anger."
Cons:
"Food is terrible too. The worst fish and chips ever! Soggy batter and dry chips."
"The food itselfs was grim, the nachos were particularly bad, low quality ingredients and I had a burger, which was cold & burnt with a side of dry chips."
"Sweet potato fries -overcooked-limp almost inedible."
"My pie was so dry."
"The food was clearly not fresh - nuggets seemed to have been stored improperly."
"The food was below average with the fries more like shrapnel and the chicken burger was tough."
