Four times winner of the CAMRA North London Branch Pub of the Year (2013, 2015, 2018 and 2023). After four years being closed, this community pub was reopened by the people that own the Pineapple. It has an L-shaped bar with comfortable stools, tables and seating. Eight Cask Real Ales and a selection of kegs and bottled ales regularly available. Up to 4 ciders on cask/handpump such as Seacider or Turner. Runner-up in the 2022 North London Cider Pub of the Year competition.

As a member of CAMRA's LocAle scheme expect to see a good range from London's LocAle breweries. Traditional home-made food with speciality pies. Heated/covered beer garden is well designed and is a nice feature. Popular Wednesday quiz and live sessions of traditional music on Thursday evenings. Tap takeovers every 2 months and pop-up events. Keep an eye on their social media and events page for tap takeovers and other one off events.

Listed as an Asset of Community Value in 2016 renewed in 2021. Disabled Access (Not W.C.), Family friendly (until 8pm).

Historic Interest

Local Camden Listing:- Mid 19th century public house on corner site at junction of Castle Road and Hadley Street. Important landmark building in the location where many roads meet and the railway viaduct dissects views. The area has a strong Victorian character despite many terraces having been replaced with later terraces; this building serves as a lynch pin to tie the surrounding streets together. Simple and restrained design with more decoration to the shopfront - applied pilasters and dentil cornice to the corner entrance bay.
