Brewhouse & Kitchen - Islington (Angel) — Restaurant in London

I was given a voucher for the Beer Masterclass, which came with a free burger and chips.

The Masterclass was amazing, eight beers of varying styles in pristine condition served by a real expert in the art of beer brewing; he had a very infectious and entertaining manner and kept us all involved, intrigued and laughing throughout the experience. He had a wide-ranging knowledge of different breweries around the world and more than a few stories to tell, and it was so refreshing to leave the masterclass feeling that we'd genuinely learned something.

The pulled pork burger and chips were very tasty and went down extremely well after the beer tasting. We didn't have a chance to hang around but could see the bar had a huge selection of taps, cans and bottles including some brewed on the premises.

Crab cakes were just little deep fried discs, falafels ditto, chipotle mayo just tasted muddy. Baby ribs were totally average. In general, the kitchen has the feel of straight from the freezer to the fryer, or grill plate, with nothing being prepared on prem. Its not the end of the world, and you can happily sit here and enjoy the beers, but the bar is getting higher for food and this place is firmly in the...

Booked online prior to the date. We were going for a birthday meal. Booked for 9:30pm. Website did not state anything about kitchen closing times. Said that place is open until 12am. Arrived a little late. Was told that they been trying to call to take our order earlier over the phone as the kitchen was closing at 9:30pm. We were not told this. The woman at the reception was very rude about it and did not even apologise and said that it’s definitely written on the website, but we checked before booking it to ensure that it’s late opening. Bad night and bad experience. No calls received and when we were walking back from another restaurant there were serval people with food on the tables at an even later time. Rather just go to the many different restaurants that are nearby...
