  Visited on 25/07/07.
  We were expecting some gastro food here... Timeout critic choice you know... Our friends who live nearby said the food is great...
  I ordered the duck salad. I was not enlightened at all... It was a salad with some beans, lettuce, plums and duck...
  The plums, which were supposed to be the kick' ,actually didn't fit with the over salty duck.
  My friend had a pizza with anchovies ,capers and egg.
  On the first bite, this appeared to be a nice looking pizza but then we consulted with out Italian authorities:
  'A good example of Napolitana pizza but the dough is too thin...'
  'you can get a similar pizza at Zizzi for 3 less...' (the price was 9 which is pricy for what you get...)
  The olived we ordered from the bar were juicy and amazing!
  The staff were nice and responsive! We might give this place a second chance but we were indifferent for the culinary experience this time...

  An early front runner among Londons gastro pubs, this Primrose Hill fixture is still a class act, delivering good cheer and good food in a well-used, open-plan setting of mismatched wooden furniture. Large wooden tables, high ceilings and dark green tiling give it an old fashioned soup kitchen feel.

  This corner pub has enormous plain windows looking out over leafy Primrose Hill, the street thankfully mostly devoid of traffic. The menu is chalked on a blackboard above the fireplace and includes warm salads, soups and perhaps a tart to start, followed by sausages and mash, grilled fish with marinated vegetables and a pasta dish. Flavours are gutsy and robust, colours strong. Sunday means all three courses, the rest of the week you can pick and choose.

  The pub has some decent real ales on tap, some unusual organic tipples and plenty of well-chosen wines by the glass.
