Barnsbury, The Description

The Barnsbury is a quality neighbourhood food pub on Liverpool Road, pleasantly restored to give a relaxed, informal dining experience. As background there are regular art exhibitions, not just the usual stuff slapped on the walls, but a good range of well executed pictures with properly designed lighting, guaranteed to lift the spirits.

Not that the food won't do that anyway - there has been a serious effort to provide a straightforward menu at good value for money within the immediate vicinity. Some remarkable dishes include Cromer crab on toast, slow roast shoulder of lamb and rare roast beef salad with croutons and parmesan with horseradish cream.

The overall effect is somewhat akin to being in one of the better Art Clubs, where thirty minutes or a few hours with friends slip away agreeably particularly when assisted by a contribution from their well travelled wine list. It's worth noting that there's a very pretty walled garden at The Barnsbury for use in the summer.

Your Reviews of Barnsbury, The

Gavin (24 October 2005)

The food is quite decent, but the bar staff are incredibly rude. We were put in the bizarre situation of being barred from the pub in future (while they were sill accepting a drinks order from us at the bar) because we turned up with more than 10 people - even though we were only sat down indulging in simple conversation. Should be rebranded as a restaurant as it no longer qualifies as a pub. Avoid if your party is more than 4 and if you don't intend on eating a 3 course meal.

Well Fed (10 December 2002)

The salmon fishcakes are fantastic, but do save some room for the rhubarb and apple crumble topped with "clotted cream" ice cream... Heaven!

  • Nando's - IslingtonNando's - Islington With quality food, friendly staff, quick service and excellent value for money, Nando's is a great place to eat. Don't expect identikit, pre-fab restaurant interiors which are usually a staple of the larger chains; each restaurant is tailored to its local surroundings and customers, offering up a unique restaurant experience to go with the equally unique taste of legendary, Portuguese, Peri-Peri chicken.
