Reviews of The Cuckoo N1

The new managers have turned a run down pub into a beautiful and well managed bar/restaurant! There is a fantastic selection of wines that pair beautifully with the cheese/meat platters. Would definitely recommend!

F. S.

A fantastic bar with an incredible selection of gins and wines. The pizza was clearly hand stretched and the South African twist on the Biltong pizza was delicious! The artwork inside is very impressive and well thought out. This will definitely become my new local!

G. O.

Wow what a transformation! Since this place has re-opened in April 2021 it is looking amazing: the new owners clearly actually care: new outdoor furniture, new interior, great beer & wines, friendly service and incredible sharing platters! What a pleasure to see a pub rescued like this, when there are sadly so many neglected or closed all over London & the UK! Bravo!!

S. J.

Fantastic and unusual wine selection, great food, and fresh beer. Highlights include South African white wines and the cheese plate with cashews and pistachios. New post-COVID ownership by two very friendly and well-travelled South Africans. A wonderful addition to the neighborhood.

Absolutely lovely place to go for a cocktail. Michael who is the manager is amazing and his colleague Gio. Michael makes the best cocktails in town. His Daquari is sublime. The Cuckoo has a Mediterranean feel about it with fresh flowers artfully placed in delightful vases on tables inside and outside seating area at this venue in the heart of Barnsbury. The road next to The Cuckoo is no through traffic and a delightful sun trap also so great for topping up your tan as well as sipping thr best cocktails in town. Highly recommended also for hiring out for wedding receptions, birthday parties and even has rooms you can stay the night in on the first floor. Well behaved doggies welcomed and well looked after. Michael's staff who help him to run the venue are fab and so friendly. We learn a lot about foreign countries to visit from knowledgeable staff who travel and are happy to recommend places to visit and so nice to be made so welcome and what a fantastic time we have whenever we pop into The Cuckoo.

Lovely neighbourhood pub, really friendly staff and a decent selection of beer

Z. B.

Came here with a group of my girls when pubs finally opened! Lovely outdoor space accompanied with good food and a lovely selection of wine! Such lovely staff and friendly environment.. will be back soon!

S. M.

When we arrived at the Cuckoo last Monday a gentleman with a grey beard was telling everybody that the pub had taken more in a week under their management than it did the previous year. Sounds good fun we thought we were not laughing this Monday when the young waitress brought the table next to us totally the wrong order. How can you mess up a Sangria? We were laughing even less when the same waitress brought out order which was also totally wrong. Oh dear oh dear. Shall we try again or move on? It is such a nice pub!

A. M.

Amazing Hidden Gem! Loved this little pub, the staff were really friendly and were prompt to serve us. The food is a must, great quality and very tasty. I would certainly recommend!

j. w.

Nice little pub with outdoor seating. Friendly staff, lager is a little limited hence the 4 stars! Definitely worth a visit .

T. F.

With only the outdoor space available we had a lovely time evening in this pub, can't wait for the inside to be open as it looks amazing!! Friendly staff with some lovely South African wines and yummy food.

Lovely neighborhood bar. Staff are really friendly, and our Labrador enjoys coming here almost as much as we do

M. S.

We decided to pop along to The Cuckoo for our first post lockdown outing & were lucky to get a table. The new South African landlords were lovely & there is a South African themed menu which I look forward to trying at some point. Can't wait to see you all again :D

F. M.

Visited this Pub recently, was given fast and friendly service. wonderful food and great selection and variety of wines. Highly recommend!

N. J.

Fantastic little pub, friendly service and felt right at home as soon as we arrived. Good selection of larger and ale and they have a small menu of fresh pizza's which were delicious, veggie options too. Stayed in one of their double rooms which was immaculately clean and spacious with a lovely comfy bed - couldn't ask for more! Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

a. f.

The hotel room was really nice. It was clean, and the decor was amazing. The hotel is part of the pin building, so when they leave, there is no reception staff. I forgot to ask for the wifi password before they left. Only a minor issue but overall I would definitely stay again

S. O.

I just want to thank the lovely staff and customers at this friendly pub for helping my friend today when she fell off her bike. She was really shaken and upset and they took her into the pub and looked after her and let us stay for ages. We didn't even buy a drink! But I will be back soon to make up up for that!

M. V.

Amazing rotation in kitchen residencies so fantastic food and every month a new chef. Excellent staff who care and want to work there. Good beers. Nice and always able to walk in and find a piece of quiet. Good for kids as well as there is plenty of space and a big table to sit on.

S. S.

Myself and my daughter stayed for one night in room 1 which was a wonderful room. Michael and Gio were very welcoming hosts and kind. My only one comment would be to include a pint of fresh milk in the fridge (I’m fussy about my morning cup of tea!) and perhaps some fruit as the healthy snacks (there were crisps and sweets). Would definitely stay again.

M. W.

Brilliant pub and hotel, we come down here all the time and also had our wedding party here! The pub has a great drinks selection (lovely beers and ciders, Aperol Spritz and other cocktails and a really good wine list) and fantastic pizzas and, despite its central London location, is based down a quiet and peaceful back street. Michael and Gio and all the staff here are great, so friendly and helpful, and helped us to organise a great wedding party (ordering us a load of prosecco, helping out with organising the caterers and checking in our family to the hotel). There was no charge to hire and they even sorted out the delivery of our cake! Our family stayed in the hotel upstairs and the rooms are really, nice, spacious and recently refurbished (with fridge and coffee machine included) - no noise from outside or the pub either. Plus it's in a great location, very close to Angel and King's Cross/St Pancras (and as mentioned in a really peaceful back street despite being so central).

P. C.

Obviously the building has been a pub forever, but it must have been gutted and refurbished in recent years to produce the modern interior. The barman was very friendly and efficient and they have a good selection of beers. It's clearly popular with locals. They specialise in pizzas, which are available on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening and Saturday lunchtime.

M. R.

The two boys working behind the bar were so helpful giving me directions to my daughters play. So lovely! Also made a splendid Negroni. Thank you Isaac and Fin!

B. S.

Friendly staff, 10% or 20% off drinks depending on time. Amazing cocktails! We stayed in the suite and it was lovely and spacious with big windows & comfortable bed. A complimentary basket of snacks was included along with a box of chocolates for our Wedding Anniversary. The room also includes a Tassimo machine. Very good value for money considering you would pay more for a room at the Travel Lodge. Great location. We went to see a Backyard Cinema show at the Union Chapel which was only a 10 minute walk away. We traveled from Waterloo and done the following route - Jubilee to Green Park then the Victoria Line to Highbury & Islington. Then overground to Caledonian & Barnsbury. We used contactless payment as it was easier & journey was only £2.40. Then about a 5 minute walk to hotel. The hotel does not include breakfast, however their is a Cafe called Sunday only a short walk but be warned people were queuing outside by 9.30am so we couldn’t go in. It must be good! Would definitely recommend!

M. F.

Lovely place for a nice chilled evening, Frankie makes the best cocktails Atmosphere is lovely, nice music and good prices!!

P. S.

Quiet local pub. Good deal on ale. Has guest kitchen residencies but isn't dominated by food. A great place to arrange to meet someone just off the main road and mingle with friendly locals.

T. R.

Really charming family run pub, not too expensive and a fine selection of Kentish brews. I've not yet eaten here but have heard the food is fantastic! Couldn't recommend more highly.

M. P.

Stunning rooms and finished to a remarkably high standard. The bar is convenient and not at all noisy, and the whole building is in a very quiet suburb with good neighbours. A real find!

O. H.

Lovely local pub with very friendly staff, great atmosphere and delicious pizza. Dangerously close to us! We will be back soon.

A. S.

(Translated) Beautiful structure in a fabulous London neighborhood. Tranquility and proximity to public transport. Excellent room cleaning and courtesy of the managers. Possibility to have a beer at the end of the day in the splendid pub. Greetings to the very kind Giovanni. (Original) Bellissima strutrura in un quartiere favoloso di Londra. Tranquillità e vicinanza ai mezzi pubblici. Ottima pulizia della camera e cortesia dei gestori. Possibilità di bere una birra a fine giornata nello splendido pub. Un saluto al gentilissimo Giovanni.

(Translated) I booked the hotel back in November 2019. The race was planned on April 30, 2020. But due to the situation with covid-19, it was not possible to check into the hotel due to the cancellation of flights and the closure of borders. But the hotel management went forward and returned the full cost of the paid hotel room. Necessarily, as everything normalizes in the world, I will settle in this hotel. (Original) Забронировал отель еще в ноябре 2019 года. Заезд планировался 30 апреля 2020 года. Но из-за ситуации с covid-19 не было возможности заселиться в отель в связи с отменой авиарейсов и закрытием границ. Но руководство отеля пошло навстречу и возвратило полную стоимость оплаченного номера отеля. Обязательно, как всё нормализуется в мире, заселюсь в этом отеле.

(Translated) How a 4 star hotel. Very comfortable and clean everything. Very retailers with their guests. It only consists of four very well equipped rooms with kettle and coffee machine. It has no elevator but the highest floor is a second and if the boy is you bring the suitcase. Experience to repeat. Good quality price ratio. (Original) Cómo un hotel 4 estrellas. Muy cómodo y limpio todo. Muy detallistas con sus huéspedes. Solo consta de cuatro habitaciones muy bien equipadas con hervidor de agua y cafetera. No tiene ascensor pero la planta más alta es un segundo y si está el chico te sube la maleta el. Experiencia para repetir. Buena relaci calidad precio.

(Translated) The family room is very good to go with children, very clean and everything new, it has a very large bed and bunk beds in an adjoining room, the hotel is very close to the center, and only five minutes by bus from the St. Pancras. The downside is that there is no 24-hour reception, the owner is only there when the bar downstairs is open and it's a shame he doesn't speak any Spanish. The rooms were cold because the radiators did not heat. (Original) La habitación familiar está muy bien para ir con niños, muy limpia y todo nuevo, tiene una cama muy grande y literas en una habitación contigua, el hotel está muy cerca de centro, y a tan solo cinco minutos en bus de la estación de St. Pancras. Lo malo es que no hay recepción 24 h, el dueño solo está cuando está abierto el bar de la planta de abajo y es una pena que no habla nada de español. Las habitaciones estaban frías porque los radiadores no calentaban.

(Translated) Well-kept environment and excellent cleanliness. Strategic position to visit London without being in the center, well connected with the Overground and the buses. Very friendly staff (Original) Ambiente curato e pulizia eccellente. Posizione strategica per visitare Londra senza essere nel centro, ben connesso con l'Overground ed i bus. Personale molto gentile

m. m.

(Translated) Beautiful room, clean the top and very friendly staff. It is in a not exactly central London and the morning did not serve breakfast. (Original) Camera stupenda, pulizia al top e personale molto cordiale. Si trova in una zona non proprio centrale di Londra e il mattino non servono la colazione.

(Translated) Excellent hotel, room very clean and well equipped, with fridge. Boss very nice. (Original) Excellent hôtel, chambre très propre et bien équipée, avec frigo. Patron très sympa.
