Food Quality
Pros:
"Everything was super tasty."
"Roasted potatoes were also excellent."
"The roast dinner was banging!!!"
"High quality cooking with a special foodie touch."
"The food was delicious and there was so much of it - we were really spoiled."
"Really good quality food which never disappoints."
"Food was delicious and perfectly cooked. Everyone in our party loved their meal and their bavette steak is the best I’ve ever had."
Cons:
"Go here only if you enjoy being ripped off and made to feel small."
"The meanest amount of filling ever, barely even half full in the dish, and the pastry drooping down sadly to meet it."
"Over priced, over pretentious and not very nice food."
"Shameful and disgusting to charge £12.50 for a lunch dish, then deliver half a mediocre meal."
"Although the chimichurri on the sandwich tasted a bit like soap?"
"Was told the kitchen was only serving chips and pizza so ordered that and received the least flavoursome pizza in north London."
"The Beef Sunday Roast was extremely disappointing. It was served cold/warm."
Service
Pros:
"The staff looked after us so well on the day."
"Very cozy and homey pub, with LOTS of seating space both inside and outside."
"staff very friendly."
"The staff are friendly and the service is efficient."
"The waiting staff are delightful."
"Servers are always polite and helpful."
"Service was friendly and quick."
Cons:
"The service was very slow."
"service here is terrible. Crazy rude staff (not one person - everyone)."
"Lovely pub with huge garden but unfortunately (as nice as they are!) the staff are soooooo slow."
"A pity that the staff didn't live up to the drinks. We were ignore for several minutes despite being the only two people at the bar."
"One girl working there has been unhappy to serve me and also been quite aggressive towards my group on a few occasions throughout the night."
"The waitress barged in on a conversation I was having... very poor/unnecessary treatment."
"Terrible customer service. The women who was working there was extremely rude and inhospitable."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Good atmosphere, very relaxing and inviting to stay long."
"Great spot on a sunny afternoon!"
"Love the amount of space in this place."
"Sat out back which had a nice calm Sunday atmosphere."
"Awesome atmosphere, happy vibes and friendly faces."
"We sat outside which was a great atmosphere."
"Great space and 2 lovely gardens."
Cons:
"The place was like a creche, I literally have never seen so many infants and children in a 'pub'."
"Being British, I believe in the orderly formality of the queue. It is, therefore, irritating when several 'better known regulars' are seen (and served) by the staff, whilst I, with currency fluttering on display, am ignored for a time."
"very loud but hopefully the refurb will add some sound engineering that calms the atmosphere."
"The place became busy/buzzing with people and children."
"For Saturday, at 5pm ish, i thought it was a bit quiet."
"The pizza was great but my experience was a little let-down by a lack of craft beer options (2) and I felt a little claustrophobic with the outside tables being really quite close to each other."
"Maybe a bit too quiet in the serving in not much chat, or instruction with my food."
Price
Pros:
"The wine list is well researched and very good value."
"Finished off with some red wine which was reasonably priced."
"The prices are reasonable. I definitely recommend."
"£13.50 for a spicy chorizo pizza & £6.40 pint of Mosaic. I mean, the pizza is very good value for money, as it was delicious."
"Excellent food for honest prices."
"they also do an early bird menu in the week which is two courses for 12.95."
"Outstanding food, excellent service."
Cons:
"Food is good but pricey."
"Little bit pricey but I think that's all roasts in London!"
"Nice atmosphere, menu and staff... and I get Mahou is an import in this country, but £6 a pint is sacrilege for a Spaniard!"
"however I am not 100% certain it is priced accordingly."
"meals are a touch on the expensive side but only because of the small portion size in comparison."
"very expensive!"
"When you’re paying £7 for a pint you expect good service."
Family & Pet Friendliness
Pros:
"Lovely pub with excellent food. Outside area is great for the summer. Pub quiz on a Monday night is good fun. Also very child friendly."
"An exceptional pub, worth going out for your way to visit. Welcoming staff, a very well thought out modern gastropub menu with an excellent choice of Pizzas as well. Outdoor spaces that are well planted - dogs dogs are welcome."
"For those with 4 legged furries it's a dog friendly pub."
"Been coming here on and off for years and it never disappoints. Drinks and food are great, of course, and it's dog and cat and kid friendly."
"Great pub with friendly staff, plenty of seating inside and out."
"Great local! Very big, spacious pub that accommodates all from young families, four legged furry friends and post gym groups looking to refuel."
"It is ideal place for family and friends to meet up, share meal and drink."
Cons:
"They treat people with children with utter contempt."
"Unfortunately it is no longer a family friendly pub."
"Previously a Tufnell Park parent mecca, but with the summer's refurb they've clearly had a rethink about that. Children are now verboten after 7pm."
"If you have children, avoid this place completely."
"This used to be our favourite place (pre and post baby) and now it doesn’t feel so friendly anymore."
"For a family area of Tufnell Park with a large inside and outside space I find it disappointing that they do not allow children after 7pm."
"Shuts out customers who would like to enjoy a meal and drink as much as the rest of everyone else."
