"This done-up pub is full of north London locals with a new-found passion for Crocs. It’s a lovely space in the day—particularly for a Sunday roast—but come evening it becomes altogether more intimate. The modern British food—crispy chips with aioli, barbecued meats, fish with tahini yoghurt, and the like—often remains on the comforting side of creative. And that feels just right." - jake missing, sinead cranna
