680 Holloway Rd, London, Archway N19 3NP. Sunday, 18th October 

Charlie McHarper booked a table there for us at 8pm for a few of us. Four of us turned up as there was a mess-up on arranging and half the usual reprobates went elsewhere.

The restaurant was really quiet, like really quiet. We were the only people in there! Large and fairly bright. We got shown to our table – way at the back to find out they weren’t ready for us at all – obviously the booking had been forgotten about.

We ordered – a fairly standard menu (link here) and fairly standard prices.

As this was a month ago I’ve been too busy to write it up and I forgot all the details – like a twat.

From what I remember it was pretty solid 8/10 from the four of us that went: Jack, Gary, Charlie McHarper and myself; but with a couple of annoying things like the food being served before cutlery or crockery on the table, Charlie’s fish was a bit tough but everything tasted really good. The portions were generous and the beer was decently priced as well.

Overall 8/10 – above average.
