http://www.london-eating.co.uk/24024.htm The Barnsbury Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating The menu at The Barnsbury is tempting, and I really enjoyed my leg of rabbit with pancetta, parsley & radicchio risotto, truffle jus. However, the portions are not huge and cost the same as some of the higher-end West End restaurants - but, frankly, The Barnsbury does not compare to these venues. We were seated in the pub rather than the ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3238.htm The Barnsbury has an almost spot-on gastropub atmosphere, and serves a menu that is for the most part very good, with attractive, well-prepared dishes. The feedback from our recent office meal there was that most, particularly the meat courses and desserts, were very good, although some of the starters, such as the soup, were bland and ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3238.htm Excellent food - had difficulty choosing from the menu as everything looked so good. A little on the pricey side considering we were eating in the bar (with the door wide open to let out all the smoke!!), but overall good value - would go back again and try and eat in the dining area. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3238.htm Super pub food. Ate here for the first time tonight. Delicious, very fishy (filled with pieces of white fish) cullen skink soup with a huge rarebit crouton and also a very tasty foie gras and chicken terrine. Roast chicken and duck confit went down well. Only problem is the smoke which, being a pub, you notice more than in other ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3238.htm Really good and very good value for this level of cooking. The Confit of Duck with red cabbage is excellent especially with buckets of their very lovely Pinot Noir. Scrummy. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3238.htm After reading the reviews below I actually checked the photograph to see if I had somehow made a mistake. I had lunch there this Sunday and was bitterly disappointed. We shared a starter of Samosa, the contents of which would have suited a Shepherd’s Pie. The Yorkshire pudding’s were those horrible, no substance, frozen/pre chilled ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3238.htm We had a fantastic night at the Barnsbury, took our aunt there for her 90th birthday and the staff - who were coping effortlessly with a full pub where most tables were being served food - couldn't have been more helpful or attentive. Food was delicious and the whole evening was relaxed and unhurried. Will definitely be going back. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3238.htm I love this pub, and is always my favourite destination for a Sunday lunch. Portions are generous, but the food is always immaculately cooked and service is excellent. It always has a nice buzzing atmosphere, but as it is away from the crowds of Upper Street it is never too packed or two rowdy. Essentially this is a very nicely run pub with ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3238.htm I regularly eat at the Barnsbury and always have an enoyable meal. The food is simple (in a good way), well cooked and well presented and the service usually very reliable. The wines are well chosen and fairly priced. The pub itself is usually satisfyingly full - enough people to create a good atmosphere, but rarely overcrowded. What more could ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3238.htm GREAT!!! Very fun and positive vibe place. Not to crwoed, nor empty. We went there on a saturday night and were pleasantly surprised byt the great food and sevice. They have a great menu and wine list. The portions are generous (the brownie with ice cream is a must!!!) Will definitely go there again! http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3238.htm
