Excellent single bar traditional pub with covered courtyard with heaters. Some very nice architectural features, including an impressive back gantry, and a pleasant front terrace. Food serving times (from an open kitchen in the bar) vary so check their website for details. Keg beers from many London breweries. Being just off the busy Holloway Road gives the place a nice, relaxed feel.

Two handpumps on 05/11/24 were being used to dispense cider - the Seacider is considered a "real cider" by CAMRA's definition, not so the Rosie's Pig.
