I had hoped to return to this pub to try some of their other beers and got my chance tonight. Much busier mid-evening than on my last visit.

Celt Experience (now brands are owned by Evans Evans) - Iron Age3.50GoodA good brown bitter. Tangy (in a good way) and in sparkly condition.

Very quiet in the early evening, but one got the feeling that this was the calm before the storm, with much bustle coming from the kitchen. I would have liked to stay and try a few more of the beers, but there was a schedule to keep to.
BeerABVScoreNotes

A scattering of punters in the large single room.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Pitfield's - Duke of Cambridge's Bitter3.70PoorAmber but hazy and flat with no head, faint hoppy and bitter flavours but otherwise an unexciting beer. My score 12/20.

Website.

The pub is found in Islington, Central London, N1 8JT.

A large neighbourhood pub, quite close to Angel tube station. Better known since 1998 as a ‘gastro pub’, where all the food is organic. But this pub is not just a restaurant and operates just as well as a traditional pub. Beer comes from small craft breweries and the beers too are often organic, and this is one of the most reliable outlets around in which to find Pitfield Brewery beers. There is a large main room, which has a slightly bare feel with stripped floorboards and woody furniture. The former yard now features a conservatory, which is the area with far more of a restaurant feel. There are also a few pavement tables.

We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 9 different beers and tried 4 of them.
