  • I went there for lunch today. I thought the food was good - quite the selection! The staff are really nice and I like the interior. I’d say it’s a good addition to SGR.
  • December 2018 in the link? Thanks for the info though - it's rather hard to find!
  • i agree with northnineteen re the one way system. The only time when it doesn't work is when there is a severe problem on the line and that was always a disaster anyway. Having said that, it will be great when the entrance is re-opened. Between that…
  • Absolutely fantastic news! Very much looking forward to making it my local!
  • Does anyone know if this is still happening? The squatters seem to still be there...
  • I actually thought the pizza was quite decent when I got a delivery. I'll agree not the best (I'm a big fan of Firezza), but I thought it was good value: £6 for a 10 inch pepperoni pizza seems reasonable to me (the equivalent is more than £8 in papp…
  • I'm hoping it does well. It would be great to get someone in on the opposite side of the road (i.e. what was most recently The Hopsmiths) too. It's such a shame it is empty.
  • @Arkady what's the chatter on twitter? I had a quick look but couldn't see what you were referring to. Thanks
  • Apparently they are on holiday rather than closed down...

  • I believe it is their head office ...
  • I can second that - I was there early evening. There's a fantastic range of wine and the lower end is remarkably good value. There aren't many places you can get a good glass of wine that start in the £3 bracket!
  • The growler station is their USP. I think they have 6 - 8 taps in their other shops.
  • The outside of Jack's has definitely been smartened up over the last couple of weeks - perhaps pre-emptive re the opening of CC?
  • It didn't seem too bad this morning (at least when I got the tube at about 8:45) - how was it for others?
  • Thanks, incredibly helpful. I had thought they were trying to reduce the amount of time the entrance was going to be closed - is almost 3 years what has always been planned/longer?!
  • Are there any updated timings as to when Thameslink will be stopping at FP? It will have a huge impact on the area.

  • I 100% agree with this point - I'd rather the neck oil. Better beer and better value (both in my humble opinion). There is however a price point where a number of people won't go above, regardless of perceived value. Quite interesting pub economics …
  • Ouch. Key question, how high and wide is the sausage roll?
  • I was under the impression there was going to be a pub part and then a dining room part - something for everyone?
  • Apologies, read this too quickly. I can thoroughly recommend The Pizza Bakers at the top end of Blackstock Road but I'll need to check this out too - the bread looks great!
  • Hi, yes, they've been open for a week or two I think at the Finsbury Park end of Blackstock Road. Had a pizza there the other day and thought it was pretty tasty and good value. Nicely done out inside too. Definitely worth popping in - a good additi…
  • I went on Friday night and thought it was great. Got there at around 10p.m. and it was still busy which is obviously a good sign. Excellent chilli burger and fries and had a couple of good beers. My other half had a chicken burrito which she said wa…
  • Whilst not exactly what you are looking for, Salvation in Noodles has just opened at the FP end of Blackstock Road if you fancy a Pho fix: https://www.facebook.com/salvationinnoodles  
  • The number is: 020 7272 0020. I struggled to find any info too but this is from their receipt! Totally agree that a website is needed ... one to ask the owner next time I'm there!

  • I ate here this evening with my girlfriend and thought it was excellent. The food and wine were great and I think the place itself has been really well fitted out. A real contender for best restaurant in the area (in my humble opinion)
