Gastropub just off City Road, a little northwest of [[Old Street Station]]. It's part of the [[Category Mitchells And Butlers|Mitchells & Butlers]] [[Category Castle Pubs|Castle]] sub-chain.
Gastropub in the good beer guide. The beer was drinkable and served in mugs. I think they have real cider on as well.

Kerry and a friend visited on a Thursday night in May 2011, when there were four real ales on (Deuchars IPA, Doom Bar, Thornbridge Ashford and Caingorm Trade Winds) as well as the usual run of lagers, Hoegaarden and Guinness. The Ashford was well kept and drinks were reasonably priced for the location, a total of £5.20 for a half of ale and a G&T. Bar staff were very friendly and efficient, and were happy to discuss the different ales and offer tastes even though the bar area was fairly busy.
The food was gastropubby. The lamb steak and couscous was quite good. The lemon tart was also well executed.

[[bob]] and others visited in October 2007. The beer was very drinkable, and served in mugs. The selection had previously included Black Cat. I think they have real cider on as well.
The Hereford burgers were tasty, if perhaps a little fatty. The wedges are massive, perhaps better to go for the chips. The steak is tasty, served with a herb butter. Cooked as requested, the meat itself was a little tough in places but not bad for the price.

The food is gastropubby, but variable; it keeps changing in quality and variety. The lamb steak and couscous has been noted as being quite good, and the lemon tart as being well-executed. As of October 2007, the burgers are still good, but the steak was mediocre.

For those who prefer bar snacks, it's worth noting that they stock wasabi peas.
