Gastropub in [[Locale Lower Holloway|Lower Holloway]]. The front part is for drinking, while the larger back part is clearly intended for dining, with tables laid with napkins and cutlery. There's a sofa at the front, and an open fire which may be real. Decor is stripped wood, paintings on the walls, burgundy upholstery. There's also covered, heated seating out the front. [[Kake]] visited on a Thursday early evening in April 2009. The seating out the front was well-populated, and there were only a few people inside, with the dining area at the back completely deserted (it was before the food-serving time though). The TV was on, but the sound was off. Some sort of chillout music was playing, not very loud. The only ale available was Batemans XXXB; two others (one was Sharps Cornish Coaster) had just gone off. I had Aspall's cider instead (£1.75/half). As well as the proper food served at lunch and dinner, they have scotch eggs and pork pies in a display case behind the bar, at £2.50 each as of April 2009. They also have chilli peanuts (£1.20); I tried some of these but unfortunately they weren't very good, with the flavour of plain boiled peanuts overlaid with chilli heat (but no chilli flavour). I took them back and replaced them with a packet of Frazzles (£1), which the barmaid kindly didn't charge me for. Other exciting snack options included Quavers and Monster Munch. As of April 2008, food is served noon-3pm and 7pm-10pm Mon-Thu; noon-3pm and 7pm-10:30pm Fri; noon-4pm and 7pm-1:30pm Sat; and 7pm-10pm Sun. According to the Fancyapint review linked below, as of September 2011 there's a quiz on Mondays. Accessibility: I <i>think</i> there was a step up to get in. However there was definitely a RADAR-locked accessible toilet.
