Not the best experience ive ever had. Bar staff, one in particular was so rude and dissrespectful. I dont appreciate my cutlery and plate being slammed down on the table just because I asked for some sauce? seriously is it that hard a thing to request in a middle to upper class targeted pub? The building itself is a delight. Open fires, quirky decorating and some nice pictures. But that counts for nothing when the people there make you feel awful and angry.
For me, the Rose & Crown oppisite the town hall is the best in stoke newington for atmosphere, food and friendly faces.
The one star refers to the actual place. The pub is truly beautiful, but that's about it though. Terrible food, terrible service, terrible and unjustified pricing.
The food is such a disappointment that at first I thought I must have been wrong, soon after though, after the other courses arrived, my doubts became certainties.
Pretentious and badly managed this pub is destined to fail big time.
My husband and I have been 'regulars' at great 'Peasant' for some time, we both work in Clerkenwell. As we live in Dalston we were thrilled when told that the Bros had at last opened a second Gastropub in Stoke Newington.
We were not disappointed, although still in its infancy under their ownership we could already feel the warmth from their work. Staff just like at the Peasant are lovely and attentive. The Menu although a little simpler is delivered with aplomb and the Rib Eye and Fishcakes we had were spot on and great value. the Banoffee pie we shared was a treat too.
As regards the interior:
The review from View-London says it all really: 'The look is refreshingly new and captures a spirit that most pubs only hope too'
We now love The Peasant and The Londesborough. So fabulous to see that the personal touches abound here in this day and age of soulless Vin ordinaire that the public are subjected to daily!
Great food, cool art, lovely service and it's my local! lucky me.
Just returned from Sunday lunch at said pub.
Had traditional Sunday roast, but with no Yorkshire puddings, complained and was just told sorry, no reduction in price of meal or offer to supply them ( all other diners were served them)
Also shocked to find they had added a 20% service charge on the bill...........this policy was not publicised.
Oh, the guinness was lovely.
Hurrah! at last Stoke Newington has a decent Gastro Pub. With a chef who trained at Harveys with Marco Pierre White and also with Corrigan no less.
The food is amazing as witnessed by the crowds that flock to this cozy and cool pub on weekends. Yes there are lots of kids and families and arty types too. Hey this is Stoke Newington...highest birth rate in Europe per square metre.
The art on the walls is fabulous and the staff do their best to please.
Love it!
Oh dear, oh dear.... What a disgrace of a bar! 3 horrific hours spent at the Londesborough, leaving hungry and annoyed!
Stringy beef, burnt potatoes and raw vegetables.... After waiting for almsot an hour?? This isn't what you expect - especially for the N16 prices! When this is then replaced for exactly the same dish 20 minutes later you know there's no hope. Maybe an apology or explanation may help... No chance!!
Congratulations for hiring the most incompetent manager I have ever met. Oh, and if you have an aggressive Chef (microwave technician) please make sure he has no customer interaction.
This once was a fantastic bar... How it has changed. What a shame.
Step one to improving this bar: GET STAFF WHO CAN DO THEIR JOB!
We went to the Londesborough today, the waitress was rude, the food was 2 hours late and horrible when it arrived.
The chef was pleasant though but I can't say the same for our visit.
It's a shame as we use to really enjoy going there.
People that complain about there being too many children probably shouldn't eat out or work in Stoke Newington. . . . . .
