• "Service friendly and attentive, the space pleasant and trendy."

• "The look of the place is the first thing to note, set in one of the old Camden Market warehouses with arched ceilings, large sliding doors and tastefully refurbished exposed brickwork."

• "The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, nice to sit out in the courtyard with the outdoor fireplaces."

Cons:

• "Everything was ok until we saw the chef eating while preparing our dish."
• "Unfortunately, it was too noisy."
• "The place seemed a bit understaffed, especially given that it was a bank holiday weekend."
• "The restaurant had an off-putting vibe to it."
• "Would have been 5 stars, but the toilet situation was a bit rough."
• "It looks like an Instagram place for a young clientele than anything else."
• "Place was pretty dead that's why sitting was available."

Value

Pros:

• "The food was incredible for a fair price - I would highly recommend the sticky wings as well as the Fish & Chips."
• "All in all, generous portion and great value (£8)."
• "For Camden Market I was quite pleasantly surprised as £5 for Guinness and £7.50 for a large wine is not unusual."
• "We had really lovely, excellent value food at the Farrier and they have some great vegetarian and vegan options."
• "Proper roast dinner. Turkey cooked perfectly and not dry, excellent side combinations."
• "Great food and great location."
• "Good honest food, simple ingredients done well."

Cons:

• "The food was so-so."
• "Food was good, a bit overpriced though."
• "The only downside is a 12,5% service charge which seems a bit too high."
• "The £25 for the rump roast was way too high as it was quite tough and the plate only had 2 slices."
• "Really outrageous to pay nearly £16 for what was essentially a whole, over-boiled, cauliflower."
• "The Sunday roast menu was very basic and the food lacked flavour."
• "We ended up being charged for things we didn’t order, and service charge was included which in this case was not deserved especially considering it was upwards of £20 per person!"
