A large Mitchells & Butlers unbranded pub on two levels, on Upper Street in Islington.
There's plenty of seating here, stretching back to some darker nether regions on the ground floor, as well as upstairs, which is reached via a very steep spiral staircase. Don't sit upstairs if you will be drinking a lot. The atmosphere on a Sunday lunchtime is fine, though, not too noisy and with a few spare tables (though it's popular by virtue of its location).
They have ale on tap though nothing particularly interesting (just Greene King IPA and Adnams Broadside (£2.90)). The lager range is far better - Franziskaner Weissbier (£1.85/half), Kirin, Staropramen, Leffe and other usual suspects - and they have a couple of ciders on draught as well (Addlestones and Aspall).
Food is served noon-10pm Monday to Friday, 11am-10pm Saturday, and noon-9:30pm Sunday, and food is cooked in an open kitchen in the corner of the upstairs room. The Sunday roast is £8.90, with a vegetarian option of brie & mushroom wellington photo. The wellington itself is puffy and tasty, and accompanying vegetables and Yorkshire pudding are all fine, though dowsed in far too much gravy. There were no major complaints from my dining companions, but the general consensus was that the food is solid but uninspiring.
The upstairs can be booked for functions, and a sign in the pub indicates that booking is free.
