The Alwyne Castle

Marla was very much the helpful hostess behind the bar, although no one else seemed to be doing much. Still a little bit style over substance.
At least the AC was sort of on inside. Nice and clean and fairly useful as a place to rest the legs/body/brain, etc.
Very chilled out vibe, nearly.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Great service from the welcoming staff, and great food. We’d brought a dog along who was also welcomed with open arms! One small quibble - no decaf coffee - but my bet is that they’ll get that sorted before long! Looks to be very well-managed with lots of thoughtful touches.

Our first visit to the Alwyne. Newly refurbished and very nicely too. Nice open layout so not sat too closely to other tables.
Great choice of drinks. Nice menus too although only sampled the bar snacks today. Delicious too.
The staff are all very welcoming and efficient. Must particularly mention Jamie and Edin. Although they are only here to help out they made sure we enjoyed our vist

This establishment has always been in a great location. The renovation has transformed the place, high quality furnishings, great atmosphere and an excellent conservatory well suited for events. Also now perfect for a meal with the family or watching sporting events. As our Highbury local we will DEFINITELY be visiting it a lot more now. Highly recommend.

Went there for my friend’s birthday pints, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Accessible for wheelchair as well.
I had some sausage and mash for dinner. The portion was decent, the red wine jus was quite boozy with I liked, but the sausage was a bit mushy, I would have liked more texture in them. The potato mash could be a bit creamier and more buttery, but it was kinda ok with the jus.
The sticky toffee pudding was really sweet, quite a strong taste of date syrup, perhaps we should have had a cup of tea with it…

The decor has been updated since my last visit and is now modern and fresh. Food is very good value and delicious and value for money. Service was prompt and very friendly. Had lovely chats with both servers serving our table. I’d definitely come back.

Great place to meet friends. Met for dinner - its a huge pub/restaurant. We sat out the back and were able to chat and were not rushed out/could spend as long as we wanted. Great food and very reasonable price. Note that the main pub was very noisy (it was a Thursday) so if youre going for food you may want to ask to sit at the back.

Just had the best burger in my entire life.

Popped in on a whim tonight with two friends. We were served by the nicest server ever called Erin who looked after us amazingly and was so attentive but not intrusive. She deserves a pay rise immediately.

Get the festive burger you won’t regret it. The chef is amazing. Thank you Alwyne
