Randomness Guide to London Menu

A pub at the end of Chapel Market, near Angel Station with an attractive glazed red brick exterior.

Inside has been thoroughly gutted and can have the bland, soulless feel of a modern pub conversion: chrome bar, leather seats and tables, a large open dancefloor space which on a Sunday early evening can feel empty as most of the customers stick to the tables outside under the canopies, or the seating under the windows. On a return visit, when the place was busier, it didn't seem so bad, though. The banquettes are comfy, and the staff can be really friendly.

There are no ales on tap, just lagers (Budvar, Staropramen, Hoegaarden, Beck's Vier, Guinness) as well as some bottled beers and ciders.

It's probably livelier on a weekend evening, as they have a late licence, and it's a popular part of town.

Food is served, including roast on Sunday (beef or lamb options), burgers (£7 each, including a vegetarian), and a tapas menu of small plates for £4 each. Fries (available as regular, curly or wedges) are £3.50 are decent: the wedges are encrusted with salt and pepper and very nice.
