The Pig and Butcher, Islington

Lovely interior with plenty of tables. Our group visited for lunch. Wish we hadn't. The WORST pub food we have ever had. The chef had to ask the bar staff what meat was available for the carvery. The carvery had fried slices of tough beef, no Roast potatoes until asked for. They were microwaved when they arrived. The chicken carvery was a whole chicken sliced in half down the middle. Others in our group had a tomato salad that was fishy, a tasteless pasta dish and undercooked fish. All served with a trough of Mayo that was from a bucket as the waiter informed us. Neither the chef or staff were very switched on and were not interested in feedback. The chef was only 6 weeks new according to the bar man. VERY expensive for mainy frozen, unfresh and inedible food. Stick to the better and cheaper alternatives nearby.
