Reviews of The Castle

The guy with the “crazy shirt” was a credit to this place. Friendly, accommodating, smiling and always happy to help. Food was overpriced for what it was; hummus and bloomer was dry, loaded fries were okay. Burger doesn’t come with chips/fries, so expect to pay £14+ for burger + fries. Good atmosphere; would return for drinks but based on this experience wouldn’t return for food.
S. D.
Staff were very accommodating when I asked for a specific mocktail they don't usually offer (they do have non-alcohol beers etc though).They had no problem with whipping it up for me which is really sweet as I was driving and just wanted a cute cocktail rather than coca cola all night 😂.
Wish I hadn't eaten before going out because the food looked great, will definitely be returning to try the food.
In all had a great night, staff waiting on us where friendly and had a good sense of humour.
I'm not the kind of person that tends to take pictures on a night out, but couldn't resist one of the loos, they were just cute!🤣
P. H.
Great rooftop bar located a short distance from Angel underground tube station. Lots of independent and international beers on offer.

Me and my family had a Christmas sit down meal about 40 of us so quite big! Everyone working Sunday night were so fantastic the Service was impeccable! Food was delicious and everyone of us has such a wonderful time thanks for making it so special :)

The most gorgeous little pub terrace! The food was DELICIOUS. My boyfriend got the pork and I got the beef - both out of this world. The staff was incredibly lovely and friendly. Overall a great night.

Had a lovely meal and a few drinks to celebrate a birthday. The chef was so friendly and personally came and spoke to us about the menu - he’s a credit to the pub! The pork belly was cooked to perfection. We were really pleased to see so many vegan/veggie options on the menu and wouldn’t have chosen this pub had there not been this choice as one of our party is a veggie - she thoroughly enjoyed the veggie skewers! Would definitely recommend for food and for cocktails.

This is a mainstay pub in the area that provides a welcoming atmosphere. The venue is closed inside, which makes it intimate in its setting. The outdoor setting in the entrance and on the rooftop provides a different atmosphere. The staff are friendly and attentive. It attracts a young crowd looking to socialise. There are TVs for watching sport, but depending on the event it seems out of place. The toilet facilities are kept reasonably clean. There is a good variety of drinks on offer. The cocktails are quite sharp and not as flavoursome as other venues. The food is great and perfect for sharing. A wonderful pub and comes highly recommended.
S. B.
Marcela was very nice and our food came quickly. The food was incredible and our service couldn’t have been better. Definitely will be back!
M. S.
Nice roof terrace with an adjacent upstairs bar.
Good drinks selection. Friendly staff. Table service, which is particularly good to have during these times.
Food seemed good. We only got bits to share but we got more than we expected for what we paid.
The bathroom wasn't great. One stall and it was broken so it was lucky I didn't need it. The bathrooms also have a monopoly theme which I didn't quite get. Is it because Angel Islington is on the monopoly board? The pub's called The Castle, though. Maybe I'm missing something.
N. O.
Thank you for the best birthday! The team were very helpful from the beginning to the end!! Cocktails were perfect and the Canapé food was delicious, we got a lot more than we thought. A night to remember 🎉🎉
N. W.
Lovely pub. Good music. Good choice of drinks and really good staff. Been in the last 3 nights and the lovely Marcela has remembered my face every time and been a total star.

I came in with my brother earlier today and had a beer served to me by a kind lady who looked after us both very well whilst we visited. I offered to buy her a drink but told me she’d be more grateful for a review on here and i thought that was lovely I believe her name is Fraya. 5 stars all round
C. A.
The castle pubs food and atmosphere was amazing, couldn’t recommend the place enough.
The head chef Fabian came over to us, had a lovely chat with us and asked about the food, it was delicious.
Customer service was great, will definitely be returning again😊

We came for lunch as a party 8. 4 kids and 4 adults. The team made us feel very comfortable and were so accommodating. Food was great! Crunchy roast potatoes! Not many pubs can do that! Our 2 young boys ran around a bit which was no problem at all. And when we asked to put the Euro 2020 football on the manager was so accommodating to allow us to borrow her laptop to watch the game. Seriously good customer experience. It was just great. Thank you so much. Rob
K. U.
Absolutely love the Castle. Quality beer and food. Good atmosphere friendly staff. Always accommodated regardless of group size. Great music selection. Good vibes all round.
B. P.
Pub that offers an amazing menu, the chef came in person to talk to us about his dishes.
The Camembert and the Roasted Aubergine were our absolutely favorites!
For sure we will go back again!
C. O.
Great customer service, made a late booking for 15 people but more ended up coming and they still accommodated for my party; moving tables and chairs. Great staff very friendly and inviting. The food was great and reasonable priced. Very nice Prosecco and great cocktails aswell. Would recommend; rooftop terrace looks especially nice in the evening when the lights come on.
T. K.
I came here on the weekend for a roast dinner with my friend who had never tried one before. I came here before lockdown and could honestly say, it was one of the best roasts I’ve ever had. Unfortunately I couldn’t say the same this time round. The roast took almost an hour which wasn’t so much of a problem. But when the roast came, could honestly say the portion size had reduced by a good 70%. My roast dinner was also drowning in runny gravy. The ‘beef gravy’ was a light beige colour and everything on my plate was wet. I told the waiters that the meal made me feel sick because it was so watery (imagine someone pouring tea on your plate, that watery). They did give me a new plate and gravy on the side which was nice and deducted 20% from the final bill. Besides that, the terrace is really nice and they welcome dogs which was nice to see.
R. C.
Not quite sure what was going on when I visited here for food one evening. The outdoor terrace was apparently full, but there were hardly any people indoors so we got a table easily. Ordered a main course and pint of ale separately but within a few seconds of each other. Took about 15 mins for the first pint to arrive, and it was about an inch below the top of the glass, the second pint was not forthcoming 5 mins later so I queried both issues at the bar. Bartender tried to fob off the underfilled glass but after insisting I actually get a pint he did fill it, and did pour the second missing pint. Food eventually arrived, and with no problems. I'd been here before a year ago with no issues, and this chain tends to be run pretty well. Sadly will probably give this one a miss next time I'm in town.
D. T.
A lovely pub and eatery on Pentonville road ish. Great crowd and lovely staff. The beer is mainly keg with just enough room for a couple of casks. A very enjoyable visit.
R. B.
A nice pub with a great atmosphere. I ordered the Vegan Burger. I definitely recommend it. Staff are friendly.
R. M.
Just moved into angel and discovered this place and loved it. Thanks to Yasmin and Hassan, wiping down the tables in the rain! Made us feel like royalty. Thank you! Great pub, atmosphere and local crowd. Definitely coming back.
A. F.
Always loved that place and will always love it!
Went yesterday for a lunch, great food and amazing service by the amazing Marcela, she’s the loveliest! See you soon!!
E. L. G.
The Castle is a great rooftop bar in Islington offering a little haven from busy Pentonville Street and Angel. If the weather is not on your side the pub itself has a cosy and homely feel.
We had a glass of the Petite Odette Mediterranee Rose (French) which was a dry light rose blush with notes of strawberry (175ml: £7.90) on the rooftop. The prices are slightly higher than other pubs in Islington but we thought that the rooftop offered something different.
Food wise, the Castle offers British Gastro pub dishes ranging from brunch and small plates to larger meals and roasts. The pub also offers live sports and pub quiz nights so make sure you check out what is on!
s. a.
My visit to The Castle with work colleagues was great this evening. Roof top dining/drinks was fab. We had a laugh, enjoyed some great food (compliments to the chefs), our burgers tasted absolutely delicious 😋, as did the loaded fries. Great selection of wines, too. The table service staff were also polite and so accommodating. Would recommend and look forward to the next visit.
E. A.
A lovely pub with delicious English food . Excellent service and good prices. You have to try their dishes and drinks! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
A. A.
I can on Saturday with a large group of friends to celebrate our friends performance. The table service was fantastic. Special shout out to Hassan (I think that was his name), the gentleman who was serving us. He was amazing and made the experience all the more pleasant. The food was delicious and the vibe absolutely fantastic. Will definitely recommend and be back for a visit!
E. G.
Had an amazing Saturday night here! The terrace was the perfect Team were lovely and personable. Will be back again!
P. C.
Beer selection is lacking, but food is tasty. Roof terrace is a bonus (if you can get a seat). Staff are friendly.
H. P.
Had a great few Pints here today. Huge kudos to the staff, very attentive and you could tell they were doing their very best (weather turned out to be problematic which doesn’t make for a good rooftop experience on a bank holiday, but they were very accommodating). I would have given 5 stars but I think my appetiser was average (I’m quite sure I was given iceberg lettuce which was a bit old over endive as was described) but I’ve heard wonderful things about their Sunday Roasts, so looking forward to going back and seeing how they flourish further once they can open at full capacity.
A. I.
Pleasantly surprised at how many great vegan and veggie options there are. We looked up the menu before and chose to eat here because of that. The chef said it was a new menu, and we couldn't fault it. I had the rosemary roasted veg skewers with polenta and they were delicious. The pork belly and chicken pie also went down really well with the meat eaters. Will definitely be back again.
R. S.
Very friendly and helpful staff! Had arrived shortly after 11 pm on a cold winter's night and wanted some hot chocolate. Even though they had stopped serving hot drinks at that time, the staff still went out of their way to make one.
It is service like this that puts a smile on my face!
D. J.
Nice open terrace. Decent food. Quiet leisure ambience. Perfect for long talks.
S. B.
We popped in for a quick dinner on my partners birthday. The staff were absolutely superb and couldn't have done more to fit us in and feel welcome despite us not having booked a table. The roof terrace is delightful and the atmosphere was brilliant.
In regards to the food, I never expected to have such beautiful fresh fish in the centre of london, the chunky chips were perfect and the batter on the fish was up there with the fish shops in my native Yorkshire. The baked camembert was superb aswell so overall it was a fantastic meal and we had a brilliant time.
N. B.
Nice terrace on top where you can enjoy a good view of the area. They also have heaters for the colder nights so that you can stay comfortable while enjoying your drinks and food.
K. M.
Not ashamed to say I booked a pub for the first day they opened! Wonderful little find, love the roof terrace and the service from Geanina was a 10/10! Really heartfelt and attentive. Only thing that we would’ve loved to see would have been baked dipping Camembert and bread on the menu 🤤🤤 thank you guys!!
A. B.
Can I just say this is my new favourite pub in Angel! The General Manager Alex bent over backwards to accommodate us at very short notice! The burgers were simply amazing and the atmosphere on the roof terrace was buzzing. Thank you again Team Castle.
R. A.
Had such a fantastic night here! Service was amazing. Yasmin and Hassan took such good care of us and made me feel really welcome ! Will recommend to all my friends x
M. S.
Awesome setting overlooking an entertaining busy road, roof terrace is cosy and gets very busy. Service (and table) were wobbly but they did mighty well given the short staffing and high volume of revellers.
M. C.
Finally got round to reviewing The Castle after a load of great visits.. The chef and the manager care. The roof terrace with its own bar is a treat.
T. S.
We have had so much fun at the castle! Staff are awesome, food is great, drinks great! They were even able to make me a Wisconsin brandy old-fashioned sweet!!
S. V.
Lovely heated roof top terrace, you even get blankets and hot water bottles!
J. M.
Really good pub, nice atmosphere and the food looks amazing, the Sunday lunches looked fantastic, I was gutted I couldn't have one, did have a sausage roll as a snack and it was lovely.
J. P.
Had Sunday beef roast, absolutely amazing, best I've had in ages. Roof top was sunny and beautiful.
K.
Great chicken Kiev and quick, friendly service.
G. S.
COVID19 restrictions made it hard to be objective; we had to book, order food and couldn't visit the bar to see the beer selection.
Staff were friendly and attentive, but management should print a full drinks menu to save them heroically reciting the cocktail and beer selection each time.
Food was good, but nothing special. I had a sausage roll; good flavour and onion rings; nice beer batter but greasy. Prices in line with other London pubs.
Would've liked to have stayed longer, but again COVID19 rules forced us to leave early.
D. K.
Lovely pub, good atmosphere and good drinks.
T. W.
Great pub rooftop. Very friendly staff. Great veggie burger.
L. J.
Really cool , great bar with Lovely rooftop beer garden. Good food and drinks menu. Very nice , Lovely staff. Just around the corner from Angel underground.
S. M.
Love the rooftop pub! Great ambiance and music in the evening!
s.
It's pretty miserable traveling on business at the moment but dinner and drinks at this fabulous pub really cheered me up. Just after lockdown V2 ended I was in the area and had had a bad experience with the new tier 2 rules at a pub in another chain, which meant I was a bit apprehensive about coming here. I shouldn't have worried - wonderful ambience, really lovely staff, delicious food and a pragmatic approach to the new rules, which are v challenging. Thank you for making me welcome.
S. C.
Great pub. Friendly staff. Top quality food
C. P.
Very nice downstairs, vintage style. Roof garden which is ok. Beers, wines, cocktails and spirits
J. A.
Came for lunch today with my colleague and it was very nice . . The sun was shining and the atmosphere was great. . Had some great drinks and a superb lunch . . Jan and Emma were very attentive and polite . . Will be back for lunch soon 😁😁
M. F.
Nice environment and tasty food!
Only downside is that the waitress who served us did 4 different mistakes in our order including wrong drink, wrong cooking preference, omission in dish extra bits and charging wrong plates in bill!
B. S.
Good venue for drinks. The food menu is good too, but the veggie/vegan burger had run out which left only two salads as the veggie options which wasn't great to be honest! One of the weaker implementations of covid secure guidelines, but overall ok.
R. T.
Fantastic evening at The Castle made all the better from the exceptional service of Yasmin and Zoe. Can’t thank them enough for helping make my leaving do so special. We’ll definitely be back!
A. F.
Lovely staff, gorgeous roof terrace! Especially in the sunshine. I would love to come back again, thank you.
O. H.
Great pub, staff are excellent, very attentive and friendly. This pub has good drinks on offer and very good food. Definitely recommend.
M. W.
I used to travel to London on business quite a lot and this was the pub nearest work and the place I was staying at overnight. Venturing back on a recent trip to London was a blast from the past. Putting nostalgia to one side I still think this a great pub. Friendly staff, good food, nice selection of drinks and a nice atmosphere. Good to see it hasn't lost its appeal. If you're in the area, pop in for a few!
J. D.
Not bad, lovely little pub.
D. R.
I popped in here on a July Sunday for a pint and loved the interior so much we stayed for a roast which we had on the roof terrace. The roast beef was some of the best I've had in my life, and thus the get 5 stars. The roast chicken wasn't fantastic, nice but nothing extraordinary. But the beef itself absolutely incredible, and compensated! The staff were friendly and helpful.
L. N.
Gorgeous pub in Angel. They have an amazing selection of spirits - and are masters at mixing drinks! I had some of the best gin and tonics I've had in years! We also had a delicious Sunday roast - very generous helping with an excellent Yorkshire pud. Highly recommended - lovely staff. Will return!
N. K.
Lovely gastrointestinal pub young vibe great food wonderful staff
F. P.
Went here one summers night Yasmin and Hassan were so great to us. Hope to come back soon and see them again!!
b. t.
Had a burger and my dad had a fish and chips. Both were good! They also show English football.
G. D.
Really nice pub near the Angel. Luckily it was sunny so we could sit on the roof terrace. We stayed for lunch and the food was very good and reasonably priced for this part of London. Classic pub grub was the order of the day with good fish and chips, excellent steak and lamb chops. Good selection of beers and wines by the glass and bottle. Local competition is fierce in Islington with many good eateries and pubs but the castle holds its own. Highly recommended and a very pleasant atmosphere with good service
B. C.
Lovely, friendly pub on the Monopoly pub crawl trail.
M. P.
Love the pub. Cozy, great selection of music. Music not too loud so was possible to talk without yelling. Food was very good, veggie options very nice. Red wine was average pub quality. Would love to come back
K. W.
Delicious freshly made salmon. Very much enjoyed
C. D.
Great food and drink, amazing atmosphere
E. A.
Cool vibe, nice drinks and friendly staff. Deffo would recommend! Special shout out to the GM Alex for her treat!
J. D.
Great little spot. Upstairs rooftop was full so we sat in the bar. Our service was good but other people sat for ages before they left without even a drink. The food was great. I had the burger, which was very good. Others had the fish and chips. The fish was light and flakey, the chips were very, very thick, which were great but not too everyone's liking, just be warned. The beers and drinks were fantastic. The mixed drink we ordered was balanced and well crafted. I loved the cider but couldn't tell you what it was except local. The bangers and mash we prefect comfort food. Absolutely recommend and look forward to going again.
S. F.
Only popped in for a quick one, but definitely coming back. Great staff, great atmosphere.
S. u.
Great place. The staff is nice and food is very good, they even have a bbq going on during the warmer months. Upstairs is a roof terrace and downstairs enough space for larger groups. They offer A lot of choice for Gin and beer as well and the service is quite quick.
M. J.
Cosy pub with a roof terrace that would be nice on a sunny (and not too windy) day. Service was good and staff accommodating. Food was a little variable, nice shared baked camembert starter although the burger I had seemed to be missing something. My wife's fish and chips were very good.
K. H.
Excellent service in a very attractive pub with great food.
S. T.
We’re visiting from Florida and stumbled upon the Castle. Sophie explained the menu and has been a joy to speak with and give us the lay of the land about London. The fish and chips are excellent and having a pint or 3 has been fun! Fun pub and excellent food and staff!
J. B.
Lovely roof terrace. I don't want to say too much as I don't want randoms to turn up and ruin it. Stay away, it's terrible.
L. S.
Had a lovely time! Hassan was an amazing server aiding us quickly with our drinks
N. S.
Great atmosphere and staff, Aneta was amazing and all recommendations we"re delicious, I will come back for sure
m. p.
The food is fab here but we got three wrong orders delivered to our table due to the counter assistant that day perhaps not quite understanding us andnot checking with her manager.
This was months ago and l see that Aga, the manager, responded to others' concerns, and there has been re-training. Well done Everyone has to have their "first day". Its a lovely welcoming, cosy traditional pub.
Regarding my review for THE CASTLE HOTEL, TAUNTON directly under a photo of that distinctive ancient castle, getting swapped after l posted and appearing under YOUR photo, l deleted it. Thank you for your kind welcome Aga. Good job it was a great food / great staff review ! 💕
G. C.
VERY good food, and the location is central... but the terrace overlooks one of the busiest roads in the area. If you can ignore the traffic noise, then it's a nice place to be... especially for the food.
Did I mention the food?!? The quality is excellent, and the chef needs to stand proud of their creations!
C. W.
Just popped in today with two work colleagues for lunch. Can't speak highly enough of the welcome and the service we received. Absolutely top class. The waitress. (sorry I don't know your name). We all could learn a lesson from you in friendless and service standards. Food was excellent and nice touch from the barman when we were leaving when he gsve us red envelopes with Xmas menus.
B. M.
It was right next to my hotel. Great food and great selection of beer.
K. W.
Just meeting friends for drinks but I think the venue would also work for a more intimate occasion. We were sat upstairs, on the terrace, which had a holiday feel to it. We didn't dine but they all seemed happy and well-fed
M. K. G.
Hassan was an amazing server, gave us the best server will definitely be back just for this gentleman
J. C.
Lovely food, lovely staff, a lovely pub
F. H.
I had a fantastic night at The Castle, I will 100% return. I had fish and chips and my girl had sausage mash! I was so impressed that I wanted to get to know the staff, they were really friendly and personable. You are lucky to have them as member of staff.
I want to give a shout out to:
Ben, Beata, Anetta, Simon and Paulius
See you next week!

N. S.
A pub to visit and re-visit. The castle features consistently amazing food (The fish and chips are unreal), featuring a rooftop BBQ menu in the summer months. Their decor is brilliant -- deep benches with comfy cushions, and enough seating ideal for big groups. The staff are really friendly and prices are reasonable. It's even a great place to watch your favourite match on TV or catch some rays on the rooftop terrace in the summer! A "classy" alternative to your average London pub.
B. H.
Such a lovely experience. Best spot in Angel for drinks in the sun. Special shout out to Tom who couldn't have been more helpful.
D. W.
I like the Castle. Very popular upstairs in summer (open air balcony). Often have the football on but not a football pub. Food good. Staff engaging. Food good. God range of beers wines and spirits. Good place to go with a few friends or as a couple. At time of writing they had a pub quiz every Tuesday MC'D by charming Irish girl.
A. L.
I was looking for a quiet sunny terrace on a beautiful day and found this lil gem.
I had the avocado in toast with poached gags and extra bacon on rye bread, which was absolutely lovely. The castle seems to be a proper pub with a lovely outdoor area, The beer selection upstairs isn’t great but has the local standard Camden Town.
T. M.
Reasonably priced drinks but cocktails menu didn't have an ingredients list, the two meat roast sharing platter was really substantial for the money, fairly decent place for a Sunday afternoon
C. H.
Light and airy pub with lots of exposed wood and a lovely roof terrace which almost lifts you away from the busy roads roundabout. The food here is excellent, large portions of healthier options than you would expect from a pub. Staff are friendly and service is prompt.
P. M.
Friendly service and refreshing drinks. Our small meeting was well served throughout.
I. S.
Came here for a team night out and absolutely loved this classy pub!
Friendly and efficient service, gorgeous decor, big wooden tables, reasonably priced drinks and delicious food. Meat and veggie platters to share are of on outstanding quality!
Excellent music playlist. We had a great time in here, and i'm looking forward to coming back again soon.
Z. D.
It's a nice pub, standard London prices for drinks and food. Service is not that friendly but effective enough, food is similarly okay but not great. The terrace area is lovely and the bar definitely has a nice atmosphere - but with the balcony so close to the main road it's really loud! My biggest complaint would have to be the men's loos, which had a urinal overflowing with water and splashing all over the floor. It was wasteful, unhygienic and it stank!
J. A.
We went to the Castle for a team lunch. We were a group of 12 and managed to get a spot on the sunny terrace. My only complaint would be that there is no shade, a parasol or two would be a welcome addition. We all ordered individually at the bar and the food came extremely quickly. There were no complaints about the food at all, it was all very good. We'll definitely be back.
B. D.
Nice pub, good wine selection. Didn't try the food. Very popular in summer due to roof terrace. Convenient for friends staying at Hilton Doubletree next door
N. F.
Went in not expecting much but the food was excellent especially the chicken kiev that I had.The menu seems nice and quite a bit better than standard pub fare, well lit open space had no problem with 6 of us including 2 children.
R. P.
I’ve been there a couple of times. The first time the attention was good and food and drinks were okay. However, the last time the attention was bad, unfortunately the waiter had a really bad attitude.
J. M.
It was just a flying visit, so I can't really comment. It seemed to be a decent place.
A.
Great bar, friendly staff and good atmosphere.
J. A. C.
Great team, excelent service, good food. We will repeat.
M. P.
Lovely pub with good vibes and very friendly staff. Nice selection of spirits but not many draught beers. The only thing I didn't like was the food. Small portions very high priced and without being very tasteful.
g. b.
Gorgeous. X
R. S.
Very trendy now and significantly revamped in recent years. Fantastic all day IPA and great staff that will offer you samples beforehand. The loos are particularly interesting and worth a visit. The kind of place that sells awesome pork scratchings for a fiver and great craft ales rather than a CAMRA pub.
A. D.
Great pub! Perfect for a Christmas party. We have 80 very happy colleagues, such a fun night. The staff are super friendly & accommodating , food spot on and service is sharp.
K. R.
Don't what these guys are doing. But it was magical, the management and bar staff were amazing, Feasted in some high end places and can compare this place to most, maybe even prefer to some. 10/10 TOP KEK points to these guys. Big shout out to the assistant manager who not only recommended me an amazing beer but also managed to get me laid.
A. A.
fantastic place to go to, relax, have a cold pint and really fantastic food.
its sad that some comments are negative, especially if most of the ppl stayed in the pub all day and night and had a good time... i am there often and i can see happy staff always serving me and my friends, sometimes even joking around.
i will say- come and see it yourself- you will love this place!
P. P.
We had an event here and it couldn't have gone better. The food platters were great and the staff could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend this venue if you're looking for a pub to do drinks and nibbles with friends.
A. S.
The Castle is a decent pub in Islington blessed with a very pretty roof terrace. The view isn’t anything spectacular but the terrace has plenty of benches and lights in little jam jars. And I can’t think of another pub in the area with such lovely outdoor seating. That said, nothing else (good or bad) stood out for me the one time I visited. But I’d be happy to return.
A. B.
Fabulous patio. Food isn't that great however so better to go for just drinks.
A. C.
The castle is a very nice pub, I've never tried the food here but the roof garden upstairs is lovely in the summer. This is a really nice place to chill out in the evening especially during summer time.
D. K.
If i could give 20 stars I would, but 5 will have to suffice, great pub
S. B.
Best Sunday roast in town staff are helpful and affable, will be visiting soon x
E. C.
Rum bar!! Need I say more?
Ok, the beer selection is good and they're well stocked on all other spirits, happy customer here getting them sloe gin & tonics :) food menu changes every so often which keeps it interesting and is not too bad either.
M.
Nice terrasse and really good food. Only 3 stars because the staff wasn't really friendly and when the bill came they didn't tell us our friends who'd left earlier had already paid 30% of the bill. All sorted out in the end but that was a bit shady
J. C.
Fantastic customer service from the 2 ladies behind the bar. They even laughed at my boyfriends terrible jokes. Had the sausage roll that was on the bar, amaretto sours and a really really nice time. Great atmosphere, nice and cosy. Thanks gals. 👍
M. G.
Didn't try the food yet, but the pub is very nice. Nice selection of drinks, an amazing roof terrace, great music and very friendly service, including table service.
C. S.
Great pub with great beers
S. D.
The roof terrace gets top points (but loses some for being so close to a big road!) but the actual pub is just OK - boring decor, the kind of drinks you'd expect and a slightly rowdy crowd come the weekend. Much better pubs in Islington, in my opinion.
H. P.
Really great experience last night at the castle! Amazing service from hassan
D. S.
Nice roof terrace and friendly staff. Definitely recommend.
L. B.
Love this pub!!! Awesome food and a nice array of drinks to choose from. Stands head and shoulders above or bars nearby
S. H.
Great service and quite good food
K. S.
Great little roof terrace for outdoor drinks. Staff really friendly with table service at moment.
L. H.
Amazing service with a smile rochelle, made our night will be back every night for our weekend away
v. v.
Nice pub, and perfect for planning a multi-million pound diamond heist - just watch out for undercover video cameras hidden in bags on the bar though yeah? :)
O. P.
A roof terrace at a pub in London is always appreciated, combined with good food and a deflcent selection of beers make this a good place to visit
T. T.
The perfect place for a group of criminal pensioners to plan a major safety deposit box heist. Don't mind the occasional surveillance or hidden camera- all part of the charm! Occasional septuagenarian cockney criminals go well with the craft ales and quality food.
S. M.
The best pub I found this weekend. The food was lovely, the bar and waiting staff were brilliant. A really friendly and welcoming place. Thank you.👍
N. F.
Super nice garden terrace. Staff extremely friendly. It is not 5*, because they had ran out of certain dishes that we wanted to eat
A. B.
All is great, good beer, good choice. However on the Sunday of the May Day holiday weekend last orders were called at 9.20pm!! As a Scot I could not believe it!!!
K. R.
lovely light and bright pub that's great for a catch up with friends. the staff are friendly too. the food was tasty too.
K. L.
Conveniently located on that street. Food is ok. Service was a bit too casual for my liking. Great for a quick pint after work but there are other options around the area.
