Wonderful location, specially on a sunny day when you can sit outside. Drinks good, hamburger nice, sausages were too hard

We were looking for somewhere for lunch and had seen favourable reviews of this place. After a long wait the staff suggested three alternative ways to order. Using the app which in theory gave us a 10% discount, at the bar and to the occasionally seen staff. We chose to order drinks using the app but the system did not work. After a very long wait we ordered our food with a waiter who appeared to be the only one working in the place. He collected our long awaited drinks. The menu was very limited and apparently only mushy peas are available. Garden peas have not yet arrived at this establishment

Ox cheek croquettes for starters and smoked duck breast with gnocchi were both pretty good. The service was friendly but they seemed a bit swept of their feet. Would also recommend avoiding sitting right at the back since you’ll get a cold breeze anytime someone goes onto the balcony!

You have to visit for a Sunday roast, or for one of the many other great food options from the menu. Go for a catch-up with friends, with a glass or 2. Amazing staff, great food, superb location. We can't wait to visit again soon.

Disappointed in our experience even with all the great reviews. Service really tested our patience. We did not even get water until 30 minutes after we were seated. Our server seemed clueless. She forgot our drinks and had to ask again what we ordered even though they use a tablet. The food was mediocre and we were overcharged £68 on our bill. Also the menu on Google is different and the menu there was sold out of many items. Can't recommend this place sadly.

Great spot, a small but tasty menu! I would have given it a five but I did find we had to keep flagging the staff for attention. Not that it took much and can be a struggle to find that balance. That said I would def go back and would recommend it.

Lovely pub next to Regents canal. Small out door terrace. Great beer selection and lunch menu looked interesting, I had the Steak.
Service was amazing and the Canadian Geese provided entertainment as the dived for their lunch under the canal.

Amazing place, except maybe for vegans & GF people - they have items on the menu for us that look amazing but even when you order it you have to have the waiter check that the kitchen understands you do want it vegan (we had to send the crumble back because the custard wasn't vegan) and I'm not sure everything really was Gluten Free because my friend had a the typical bad stomach ache later on (he is thankfully intolerant and not coeliac, otherwise he might have ended up in the A&E).
It did taste really good though, but the experience we had imo wasn't worth more than two stars, although the staff

Delicious food, big portions and friendly staff. Interesting choice of beers and cocktails. Very nice balconies to sit in and have a drink overlooking the canal on the 1st floor. Will definitely come back.
