We had the best lamb Sunday roast, pigs in duvet and sticky toffee pudding. All the staff were welcoming. We did not have booking but they did their best to fit us in. The food service was super fast and food itself was absolutely delicious.

The best Sunday roast I've had in UK! Banging flavours from the start to finish. The pub has a really pleasant smokey scent and a fireplace, a perfect introduction to their delicious menu. Get mint sauce and stuffing on the side, then just wait to experience the best roast in London for a very good price as well.

Been here a few times for dinner. Every time we enjoy it! Food is always perfect and the service is great! Thank you Sheree for looking after me and my girlfriend. Our next trip will definitely be to try out the brunch menu. Also the Camembert is amazing!

This is a great pub, I've always had a lovely time here and have enjoyed the food. But i have to say that on my most recent visit i was a little disappointed with the smashed avocado on toast. It was 80% spring onions and 20% avocado, this was disappointing and not really what was advertised on the menu.

I think this is the best place ever to get a Sunday roast dinner. This pub is so nice and the food was so delicious. I ordered the chicken Sunday roast and the flavours… the chicken was so succulent, the roast potatoes was crisp and fluffy, the veg was so fresh and tasty and that Yorkshire pudding was the best. I also had the cheesecake for dessert and on a hot day like today it was just the best to cool down with. The peach was so fresh and the cheesecake was so creamy and rich. The staff here are so nice and friendly and so welcoming, the ambience overall is great!

Can't say much about the food but this is a great pub to hangout. It's tucked away from the main street and located in a residential street. We came here in the afternoon and it was quite peaceful. Good amount of space and there are lots of outdoor tables for the warmer months. 🌞 Table reservations can be done via their website. There is table service at this pub, they have a good selection of beers, and plenty of food options (including veggie/vegan options). The lemon garlic hummus with seeded crackers was a lovely snack! I'd definitely come back to try their main foods.

Over the weekend, we had the pleasure of hosting a lovely family reunion and baby shower in the charming outdoor garden area of the pub. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, providing us with all the essential details and making it a breeze to organize an unforgettable day for our guests. The event itself was an absolute success, with everyone relishing in the delicious food and stunning garden. In fact, many of our guests expressed their eagerness to return and experience the beauty of the venue once again. Special thanks to Jamie and Avishek.

A fantastic and beautiful pub located in the heart of Kentish Town just off the high street. Visited in a busy Sunday afternoon and sat in the sun to enjoy some drinks. They have a wide menu and range of beers, cocktails and more. The pimms was especially excellent. We did not get food but the Sunday roasts looked absolutely fantastic. The staff were expecting attentive and excellent. Shout out to Boris who was out of this world! A must visit again in Kentish Town. Follow me on Google Maps for more reviews

We visited the theatre within this pub. The guys have put a show called "48" together and it was brilliant and full of laughter. Well done guys. I really recommend them. The pub itself has a nice feel to it. It looks very welcoming. Sadly we didn't have a meal, but I could see, food was coming out of the kitchen a lot and it all looked very nice.

A fine offering from the Young's stable. The Lion and Unicorn, not far from Kentish Town underground station is a tidy clean pub partly given over to a restaurant area but losing none of its' charm as a pub. Lovely service and a friendly ambiance. The expected Youngs offering from cask and keg, well served and delicious.
