Randomness Guide to London

Gastropub just off City Road, a little northwest of Old Street Station. It's part of the Mitchells & Butlers "unbranded" Castle sub-chain.

bob and others visited in October 2007. The beer was very drinkable, and served in mugs. The selection had previously included Black Cat. I think they have real cider on as well.

The food is gastropubby, but variable; it keeps changing in quality and variety. The lamb steak and couscous has been noted as being quite good, and the lemon tart as being well-executed. As of October 2007, the burgers are still good, but the steak was mediocre.

For those who prefer bar snacks, it's worth noting that they stock wasabi peas.
