The Hop and Berry, Islington

Looks like a very nice pub from the outside, but you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover...

We visited on a Saturday evening around 6pm, with no other customers in the pub. We were told in no uncertain terms that we were not welcome, despite the fact there were a large number of unreserved tables and no other customers. Our crime : not immediately ordering food while we purchased a round of drinks!

When I asked the manager if this was a pub or a restaurant I was told it was a 'Gastro Pub'!

This place may well have excellent food, but it was let down by the manager's bad attitude even though he 'did not mean to be rude', but 'made there money from food'. From looking at the reviews below it seems that this was not the first time.

Try the Draper's Arms or the Duchess of Kent instead where the staff are far more accomodating and the food and beer excellent.
