When the management changed a while back the emphasis shifted towards gastro, with the aforementioned back room transformed - with the help of some white emulsion - into a dining room. An expensive dining room at that: prices hover in the mid-teens, excluding requisite side dishes at additional cost. Still, service remains down-to-earth, and friendly. There is still beer here, with a small range of Young's beers on tap and the more exotic bottled types.

The changes seem to have attracted an audience, as the place gets very busy - there are a lot of families that use it. It feels more like a country pub now, in some ways, than a pub in central London, probably because of its backstreet location - Islington's weekend visitors simply don't see it. It's doing a grand job and the regulars obviously like it this way - can't say we blame them.
