🚇 Cannonbury 🍺 £5.40 Amstel ❤️ A welcoming and subtly elegant pub. . The Lady Mildmay is located just off the leafy park in Newington Green. The nearest station is Canonbury overground which is a ten minute walk away. . This pub was built mid 19th century and was originally called The Clarendon. The pub has had many monikers over the years, the current name is actually taken from the long closed Lady Mildmay pub which was situated just around the corner in Wolsey Road. . The decor here is elegant in an understated way with lots of period features hiding in plain sight. The light walls are accented by the burgundy painted wall panels and ceiling. The seating is made up of traditional tables and chairs with a few chesterfields and church pews thrown in for good measure. Around the walls are artwork’s, mirrors and chalkboards displaying food and wine options. . The Beer choice was pretty good which included four cask ales from London breweries. My pint of choice was Amstel, my pint was great and reasonably priced at just north of a fiver. The food menu is Mediterranean themed, I didn’t eat here on this visit but I have to say the menu looked very appetising. . The pub was busy on this Saturday afternoon and I was lucky enough to find a seat. The atmosphere was upbeat and there was a nice buzz around the place. The crowd was local with a few young families in attendance. The service was excellent and the staff were personable and chatty. . The @ladymildmaypub is a welcoming pub with a subtle elegance. The beer choice was superb and supports local London breweries. The food is a big hit with the locals and the service was on point. This is a solid traditional boozer and well worth a visit. . ℹ️ Info correct on...
Read moreA friendly welcome and a sample of 3 ciders to make my choice was a pleasing introduction to this lovely corner gastropub.
I'm seeing my disability we were upgraded on our pre-selected booked seating. Then with a friend who later joined us who ordered the chicken salad with mini water grapefruit, and a my partner ordered the lamb persilade and I got the Steak. They were generous portions as although we were deep in conversation a pleasant hush followed the the occasional ooh and mmmm. So we shared samples of our individual plates with each other as we were all convinced that convinced that we had the best plate of the day. The persilade with the lamb was exquisite as the mini grapefruit and nuts with the fresh vegetables in the chicken salad was surprisingly good, a yet I delightful contend that med-rare steak, rocket and spuds with a delightful onion sauce was an award deserving concoction. Afterwards I found that we'd all gone separately to thank the chef. Speaking to chef I found out that the menu changes every Tuesday and I'll definitely be going back to sample some more of The GOOD Lady...
Read moreI live down the road, I've eaten there many times on week nights and I find the food brilliant, but the Sunday roast today was a massive disappointment. The meat was bland and not amazing, we got one slice per person only, and the veg was pretty much non existing: 2-3 runner beans per person, two potatoes and one (1, really) thin carrot each. For some reason everything was floating in A LOT of ridiculously watery gravy. We were especially interested in trying it because like I already said, we do like the food there. Also, a few people have recommended the roast, and we had friends visiting so we thought it'd be a nice treat for them -but we ended up apologising to them. The place was full and it looked to us like they decided to cut the food by half and feed twice as many people instead of selling it out, also adding loads of water to the gravy to make more. Really really bad. I am giving 3 stars because of the quality of the rest of the food, but to be honest, the roast we have today...
