Fairly quiet at lunch time, I ordered two beers before finding one which actually had any beer in the line, third time success apart from the fact that I could not drink it. I sat by the window and saw the entrance to Highbury & Islington Station so I left my beer and caught a train to Homerton, (only to find that the Kenton Tavern does not open until 4pm). Negative feedback submitted to Cask Marque.
