What’s not to love? Vassily front of house complemented by David the ace chef, and Maria working hard in the background. Amazing food and drink in a delightful setting. Fantastic addition to SG. Highly recommend.
I find it a bit up itself I'm afraid. And charging service charge on a coffee is a bit OTT when they're already asking 50p extra for plant milk on a very small cup. It's just a charge too far I'm afraid.
Had my last coffee there a couple of weeks ago, and their appalling lift music was on far too loud too. A real shame - it's such a tastefully designed space and could have been so good.
I think this place is great! Good decor, nice staff and really reasonably priced. Don't listen to this guy / gal who seems rather high maintenance. Charging for service, in the 22st century? Really? Yes mate.
Interesting that @CrouchEnder123's very first post on this friendly forum - they joined just this morning - chose to be quite rude - and then disappeared.
We would like to introduce our Christmas set menu which is available from 1st until the 23rd of December (except Sundays and for a good reason as on Sundays we now serve Sunday roasts).
Been there a couple of times now. Service a little slow, prices reasonable, food impeccable. Far too good for Stroud Green. It’s like putting a diamond tiara on a pig. Is it too forlorn a hope that the pig will wipe its snout and learn to walk on its hind legs?
Strange comment likening Stroud Green to a pig!? Hardly ..... perennial debate on here down to earth rough around the edges buzzing neighbourhood vs gentrified ersatz Crouch End.
Plan B - is a great addition which Stoud Green thoroughly deserves.
Filthy streets, violent crime, decrepit housing stock, people sleeping rough, bad punctuation… Stroud Green is merely “rough around the edges” is it? Really? Mate, it’s ALL bleedin’ edges! And buzzing? Oh yes, we’ve got buzzing all right: Buzzing with the sound of police helicopters. Never mind yer ersatz; It could be BETTER than Crouch End inasmuch as (no doubt partly due to our vastly superior public transport facilities) we are not blighted to the same extent by SUVs, and (no doubt due to our superior family-planning facilities, probable higher child mortality, and/or a bit of socio-economic serendipity) we are not blighted by the Cholmondely-Worthingtons having too many children around the same age. And I don’t think the pandemic—the café pandemic, that is—has hit us so hard. “Down to earth”? I’d believe that if any cyclist riding through a red light at the SGR-Tollington Park crossroads or riding the pavement outsideTesco were unseated and horsewhipped or beaten with garden rakes by angry townsfolk. Ah, sweet reveries…
Plan B is indeed a great addition, but I can see neither how Stroud Green deserves nor how it will sustain Plan B.
@Patso I don't know why those kind of comments would put people off (from) commenting. After all, they didn't stop you. To what exactly are you objecting? I don't happen to have an echo chamber, but I'm blessed with the ability to enjoy a rant anywhere.
This has to be the best post on here for a while. No hunting for lettuce. Grammar nobs, food snobs, gentrification, service charge. I think everyone should tip or give a service charge untless the service is very bad. Keep it real SG. T-shrits versus jumpers over shirts.

21st century - seriously?
