Historical version 7 of Narrow Boat, N1 8PZ (view current version)

Good Beer Guide pub in Islington. The beer was quite drinkable. The Pure Gold and the London Pride were both £2.80.

It now claims to be bar and restaurant (ie a gastropub) So I suspect food is served all the time now. They have a fairly standard pubby menu plus around 7 specials.

I had a special on the day I went, Swordfish Stir-fry with Egg Noodles for £9.50. It was very tasty. It was a swordfish steak griddled to perfection. Possibly a little underdone in places (to my taste) but that's fine for fish. The noodles were stir-fried with peppers, chillies and some very tasty squid rings(these were not tough at all) and a prawn. The apple and mango crumble at £4.75 was decent enough. The ice cream was fantastic. The crumble was not as crumbly as it could have been.

All on one floor with easy access and a disabled toilet.

Interesting views over Regent's Canal.
