It doesn't look much from the outside, coming across as something of an estate pub. However, this place retains a lot of traditional charm without being in any way unfriendly. They even have a bell for the theatre performances and check with everyone so that no one misses the show. It can get busy at times, but never unpleasantly so. |

Local pub just south of Angel Station in Finsbury, round the back of Sadler's Wells Theatre.

Real ales on tap are Courage Best and Directors Bitter (£2.70/pint), well-kept.
There is a menu, but outside the food hours, there are still plenty of hefty looking rolls and sandwiches available and kept in a display area alongside the bar. Ewan had a ploughman's lunch (£5) one Friday evening and found that it was quite substantial, with a huge chunk of cheddar, pickles, and salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce), as well as a good length of crusty loaf served on a separate plate with butter. Toasted sandwiches and cold food is a little cheaper, generally £3-4.
There's a lovely large beer garden area in the back, with some tables under cover as well.
