Its my local at night.Popped in at around 9pm on a Thursday night. Was served quickly and efficiently with a good pint of Harvieston and avoided the assholed ahole curry.
Food was tasty the day before when i had sirloin and beer was well kept. theres people in here who are here all day and all evening, any time you go in they are there. . The Mong staff are oblivious to times nutty women with kids running about
The pub is busy and it struck me that the crowd are very mixed in terms of ages, nationalities etc I often bemoan the fact that pubs are getting more specialised in terms of appealling to particular markets but this proves that there is still room for a boozer for everyone.
Not a bad 'spoons' as they go, full of council workers and union stewards and its nice to see that they have provided a lift at the front for all the diabetic amputees that frequent the place.Seems like a Play station game.
A very reasonable Wetherspoons that i visited first thing Satuday morning.
A roaring trade in breakfasts and breakfast rolls was being done and a number of traditional 'Spoons types were having their early stiffeners. There was a strange mix of regulars and concerned middle class types who had turned up to attend the fuckin buddies social evening.There was a decent selection of ales at a very decent price for London, even though they were 20p a pint dearer than I pay in brighton. I had a great pint of Rebellion Mild that was in better condition than in brighton Spoons a day later (and that IS praise).
The pub is clean and nicely decorated but I was disappointed by the intrusive noise of a large extractor fan system mounted on the cealing at the rear.The usual Wetherspoons recipe with a slight modern hint to the decor. As usual, there's plenty of seating. Service is quick. Chips are shit.Glasses were cleared away from tables regularly too. Extremely handy for Highbury & Islington station and a good range of real ales - Rebellion Election Promise, Rebellion Mild, Ruddles Best, Greene King Abbot Ale, Lymestone Ein Stein, White Horse Wayland Smithy, Bath Dark Hare, Spinning Dog Top Dog, JW Lees Game On and Purity Pure Ubu. Westons Marcle Hill was the real cider on offer. Unfortunately as with all Wetherspoons, it has no real atmosphere or character.Coronet is better if you are looking for pussy in the afternoon.
