Version 27 Version 1

A [[Category Castle Pubs|Castle]] Mitchells & Butlers pub on some quiet back streets in [[Locale Islington|Islington]], just east of [[Locale Upper Street|Upper Street]] not too far from the canal.

It offers Belgian beers and wheat beers as well as real ale (the London Pride was good on [[bob]]'s June 2007 visit). There is also real cider on tap and in bottles. Service is definitely friendly.

[[bob]]'s steak pie was tasty and did not commit [[FAQ|heresy]]; the gravy was a bit thin though. On [[Ewan]]'s November 2008 visit, he had a mushroom risotto (&pound;8) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3103864713/ photo]</small>, which was very tasty and not too creamy, just the right consistency, though the separate side salad (&pound;2) was a rather disappointing mix of chopped iceberg lettuce, tomato, cucumber and red onion. Otherwise the menu offered a good variety, including roasts on a Sunday <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3315172857/ photo of menu]</small>.

There are quiz nights on Tuesdays, comedy on Thursdays. On a Tuesday lunchtime (in June 2007) there was no one else in the pub.
