We got married on the 29th of December at Bull & Gate and in short it was fantastic! Joe, Stephen and the rest of the team were just the best. The weeks and days before the event were full of uncertainty and Joe always reassured us and offered solutions that put us at ease. Finally we were able to go ahead with the wedding and Joe and the team worked with all the changes that kept coming and ensured that Jay and I had one of the most magical days of our lives. We were ready to just settle for "let's get it done" but they made sure everything possible that could be done was done and it was just

Came in for a Sunday roast having booked a table in advance and we were seated in the bar area. Once our order was placed via the app, the drinks arrived promptly but the soup starter arrived 45 mins later, and tasted very bland, the bread being the only redeeming factor as it had a good texture.
The mains arrived an hour after placing the order and it wasn’t hot nor cold, just lukewarm. We were just glad to be able to finally eat but the food itself was very disappointing. The Yorkshire puddings were dry, crunchy and wafer-like in their consistency, rather than being soft and fluffy as they

I had such high hopes for a lovely Christmas dinner with my parents, we’d never been out for dinner before on the big day. At £80 a head and service charged before the date, my expectations were reasonable.
A lovely greeting when we arrived and a glass of bubbly. So far so good! Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there. The dining room itself was cold. At one point, three other diners on separate tables had their coats on whilst eating, yet the staff were oblivious. I had to ask for a heater above our table to be switched on halfway through our meal. I also had to ask for water as it was

The Boulogne Bar, upstairs at the Bull & Gate, proved to be the perfect location for my birthday party. There's plenty of space and comfortable seating and tables, it feels like a classy lounge. There's air con and the windows open, which was important to us in these covid/ventilation times. The venue's music system was made available to us and the hot buffet food we ordered was exactly what was required. But the best thing were the attentive staff of the Bull & Gate who were available to help with any last-minute requests.

Let’s start with the positives.
The decor is great.
A true “pub” feel.
The staff were welcoming, accommodating and exactly what you’d expect in a local.
The “less” positive.
A very limited menu was on offer (beef burger, plant burger or a pie) because of being let down with deliveries - most pubs/restaurants in the Kentish/Camden Town area seem to have the same problem at this point in time.
The food looked good when it came out but…
The “Guinness game” pie wasn’t venison as stated but tasted more like beef. The taste of Guinness was non existent. The filling salty beyond

Table wasn’t ready on time, which was suprising to me as you get given 2 hours to eat your meal and ours came out within 10 minutes (it was cold). Had to send it back and it still wasn’t hot the second time.… When we sat down at our table we were told they were running low on vegan yorkshire puddings (which were awful anyway), so had to order quickly without even getting a chance to look at the menu. Small portions, cold food and runny/ bland gravy, not worth the £40 (for 2, including 2 soft drinks).

Walked in on a quite midweek afternoon. The service was friendly and they had some gluten free options too which was great. The decor is nice and over all the pub as a nice atmosphere.
The food however was sub par. The sausages did not snap as you cut into them and the fries that came with the burger tasted old. Good pub for a drink but I will not recommend it for a meal.
It's located close to the Kentish town station which is nice and there are lots of other stores in the area.
