our review

The owners of The Elk in the Woods pub in Islington have opened a new gastropub on the former site of The Compass. Hundred Crows Rising serves craft beers, fine wines and dishes like crispy fennel squid with chorizo mayo, marinated pork ribs, and poached chicken and lovage salad. Locals can also pop in from 9am for breakfast.

what the critics say

TimeOut - 3/5

Monday, September 10, 2012 - A starter of piping-hot corned beef hash was elevated by the kick of scotch bonnet peppers, while deep-fried anchovies were satisfyingly crisp and delicately salted. A portion of rich, smooth chicken liver pâté fitted the bill, though the two slices of toasted flatbread it came with were too small for the spread...With a little tweaking in the kitchen, this will become a fine addition to Chapel Market's eclectic range of eating options. But for the time being, it's a better bet for a drink and a light bite.
