The Leconfield Pub & Kitchen — Restaurant in London

🚇 Canonbury 🍺 £5.20 Amstel ❤️ An architecturally unique pub. . Located at the bottom end of Green Lanes amongst the local shops and Turkish restaurants is The Leconfield pub. The nearest station is Canonbury Overground which is ten minute walk away. . The Leconfield Pub was built between 1829 and 1846, known originally as The Royal Oak. The pub was rebuilt in 1926 by Courage in a hybrid Mock Tudor/Art Deco style, you won’t find many pubs in London with this mix of architecture. . The decor here is a mix of the old and new, this is a good size one bar pub with an eclectic mix of decor. Most walls are exposed brickwork which seems to be a regular feature in pubs these days. Opposite the severy is a distinctive fireplace the likes of which I’ve never seen before. The seating is a mix of comfy leather sofas and poser tables which are dotted around the bar. At the rear of the bar is a Fussball table with one of the TV screens showing live sport. . The beer choice was a simple line up of well known keg brands. My beer choice was a pint of Amstel, it was a decent pint with a reasonable price point. The food menu was all about comfort eating, the burgers that left the open kitchen looked great. The Guys at @meartheadlondond had just finished their residency here. . I arrived around 1pm and the pub had a dozen or so punters in. The Man City v Liverpool game was on the box, there were a few fellow Arsenal fans watching eagerly for the result. In the background was a soulful sixties soundtrack creating a relaxing hang out vibe. I noticed one punter who visited the bar twice and asked for a glass of tap water on both occasions and didn’t spend a penny whilst watching the footy, if your going to go the pub and watch the footy or enjoy the facilities at least put your hand in your pocket! . The @leconfieldpub is a very unique boozer with features you won’t find in many boozers across London. The beer and food are good and the environment relaxing. This pub is an interesting place and well worth a visit. . ℹ️ Info correct on...

Went there today as it has become our new local to try the Sunday Roast. First impression was great, looks nice, nice crowd and we were very welcomed despite not having a booking. We ordered the beef and chicken roast and the hoummus trio starter..after ordering I mentioned to the waitress that I am allergic to seafood just in case…she said “I can’t guarantee 100%”.. didn’t offer to speak to the kitchen or offer any kind of alternative or solution…seemed uninterested…I then cancelled my order but my partner had her roast which according to her was delicious…the starter was supposed to come with carrot sticks and breadsticks it came with only with 5 small pieces of bread…I complained they brought us carrot sticks but no breadsticks..I mentioned it and was told “we don’t have it”…no offer of alternative or solution…I had to ask for more bread… The service is appalling, no communication, no checking in…our cold starter took over 45 min to arrive…sadly not a positive or pleasant experience at all…good job to the chef Pedro who manages to somehow pull through as the place is seriously...

Two days ago I went and had a meal from SME's kitchen in Leconfield Pub and it was ab-so-lutely BANGIN. Not only were the staff incredibly friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was really good with some good music playing as well. Back to the food, I had the vegetarian Chickpea curry, which was sooo good. The mango salad on the side was really tasty as well and the curry itself had so much flavour and spices in it, fking delicious. The prices were good too, I only paid £14 for my meal which I think is definitely a good price given the current economy + it also being enough for a full belly with tasty food. Hundred percent WOULD RECOMMEND. All in all a great experience! (Also seemed like a great place to just hang out and have a drink with a few friends: great variety of drinks, pool table, fireplace and sofas are...
