I love everything about this place, especially their Sunday Roast. The atmosphere is cozy with the warm service. No need further testimony. Just visit and enjoy their beers.
Nice pub with relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff, close to the Old street. We ordered at the bar and the staff was really nice and helpfull. Definitely a nice place to come by and have a drink.Food: 5/5
Great Sunday roast with some fun drinks. Lots of options for vegetarians and great service. The jackfruit fritters are so good! There’s a lady with pink hair which everyone else mentions as being a little upfront. She seems fine to me : The staff are really patient and helpful and the food is really great. They even have a recommended beer with each of the roasts. What more can a person ask for on a Sunday than roast and a suggested pint to go with his food
Big portions of Sunday roast and some of the best craft beer and cider in town. If you like cider, definitely ask for the Herefordshire Strawberry & Lime Cider.Food: 4/5
The very bad: without being asked, or even told, I seem to have been charged extra so the change could be pocketed, despite going to the bar to order i.e. not table service. See receipt - I paid by card, not cash, and I was charged the cash amount, not the total. The "service charge" also seems to have been applied to drinks, which I carried back myself. No service given or required on that front. I'm all for giving tips, but you can't take them without asking. Perhaps the pub can respond and let us all know if this is common practice. The good: burger was nice, beer selection was great, and when the staff weren't literally taking my money they were very friendly and efficient. Also quite a quiet spot on the Monday night I was there considering how close it is to Old Street.
I had heard this place was good and after a long day of exploring London with a 4 and 5 year old, we needed good food and the Old Fountain was about a 3 minute walk from our hotel. The food was good, the service was good although a little slow, but it fairness it was a Friday night around 7pm and they were busy. The atmosphere was good, but was very loud again, not their fault, this was more due to my timing. We had Fish and Chips, Chicken Wings and finished off with a Raspberry and White Chocolate Torte with Vanilla Ice Cream. The food was great, reasonably priced and beautifully plated.
Proper old east London pub. The Sunday roast is honestly that best I've had so far. Good wine, nice staff. Definitely my first choice for a traditional local.
Lovely, traditional free house, just off City Road and 2 minutes walk from Old Street roundabout. Great selection of cask and keg on rotation. Lovely staff and clientele; really busy on a Thursday evening, despite the Tube strike. Didn’t eat here but the food looked good. Maybe next time. But the main attraction is the beer; the best selection in this area.
Absolutely great pub with relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff, plenty on tap too. Came in for a few drinks last night and had a great time, plenty of tables and staff super relaxed and friendly. Ordered at the bar and was very easy and good price. Menu can be a bit confusing because there is so much on offer but the staff are really great. Food looked good too! Definitely a nice little place to come by and the roof terrace looked nice but was too cold to sit. If you liked my review feel free to give it a and follow me on Google Maps for more reviews!
A most fine backstreet pub offering an amazing selection of keg and cask beers. Friendly staff to help you both drink and eat. A wonderful Sunday roast made me late for my next stop. Who cares, it was brilliant!! Shame Mr Google only lets me have 5 stars. Seek out this pub and enjoy, Sunday is not a bad day to try, if you like your roast dinner!
