Eight cask pumps. 10 keg founts. Six cider pumps. There are dogs too. Regarding the cider offering - Six cider handpumps although only four are on Camra's approved list.

Approved are Silly Moo, Dunkertons, Olivers and Crafty current (Crafty Apple). The other two being Thistly Cross and Townsend.

Opening 20th March with the opening hours as shown. "Cut from the same cloth as its sibling, the Southampton Arms in neighbouring Kentish Town, The Pocket is a traditional ale and cider house focusing exclusively on beers and ciders from small independent UK breweries and cideries."

“Food is available too. By way of a hot pie counter with scotch eggs, home made Saussage rolls and delicious pies to satisfy hungry drinkers. Vegetarians and cheese lovers are able to fill up on a selection of fine British cheese."

"There’s an old piano so a good old end of the week knees-ups will be on the cards!.... oh there’ll be cards too... and dominoes”

The pub cosed around 13/08/21 - it seemed at the time that it would be long-term closed but good news that it is now reopening.

Started as a small panelled bar called the Four Sisters (as that was whom it was run by), it then become a "style bar" named 25 Canonbury Lane, for whom real ale was not deemed in style. Late 2012 it reverted to its original name but still no cask beer.

Historic Interest

Local listing:- Timber frontage. Stone pilasters with ornate brackets above (lights fixed to brackets). Small timber fascia with dentil cornice riding above. Paned leaded, stained blue glass in centre.
