Randomness Guide to London Menu

Attractive and friendly pub just away from the main strip in Kentish Town, down one of those side streets where all the buildings are painted various bright colours.

Inside it's been done up in a modern style, although the bar still has its share of locals. Leather seating occupies small alcoves around the bar. In the back room, an extensive conservatory has been added, with a beer garden area outside, mostly covered. No music is playing in the back room, though up front the atmosphere is somewhat more convivial. On a Tuesday evening, the conservatory was completely empty while Ewan ate his meal.

There are three ale handpulls, with Bass, Sharp's Doom Bar (£2.80/pint) and one other on an October 2008 visit. Beer is well-kept and staff are friendly.

Thai food is on the menu, and food is served 1pm-3pm and 6pm-10pm Monday to Friday, and 1pm-10pm Saturday and Sunday. Ewan's vegetable green curry (£7.50) was nicely spicy and was served without much delay.

A quiz night is advertised for Mondays from 8:30pm.
