Fox & Anchor in Islington

Came here yesterday and I had such a great time that I decided to write my first review. Music was great, I was also told about this app called Secret DJ by one of your staff members who was very helpful and very friendly, he served me very well and is a great bartender and an even better person. Can’t remember his name but he’s a shortish guy with glasses and a beard. Food was sooo good and the pub also had a very very good selection of spirits. It was so good seeing the staff working and smiling together, that’s the works off a great team. I’m definitely going to try and come as often as possible now

Great steaks! Came yesterday again, the meat is outstanding, the ales & wines and service too. A legendary local pub.

Lovely pub. Great atmosphere, good drinks on offer and the food was great (I had the burger and chips). Enjoyed the company of regular patron Alan (who has the best stories and is an absolute legend) and the arrival of a dog was the icing on the cake. Would like to highlight the service from the wonderful Erika and Agne who made me feel very welcome and were both very helpful. Would definitely go back again!

🚇 Barbican🍺 £6.20 Estrella❤️ Historic London pub in a historic atmospheric part of London..Going for a drink in and around Smithfield Market has to be one of the best pub crawls in London. The choice and quality of pubs on offer is simply amazing and all set within sight of Smithfield Market..Today’s visit was to the @foxandanchorec1 and it didn’t disappoint. The pub is easy to get to and just a short walk from either Farringdon or Barbican tube stations. On arrival I just marvelled at the architecture of the building, it’s just so beautiful, unique and detailed. As you enter, the bar is situated on the left hand side with seating down the right hand side, the box seat in here is at the back where there are three cosy booths with stained glass and candle lit which makes for an intimate experience. The decor is traditional with dark wood panelling, dark green wallpaper and sofas plus lots of artwork celebrating the area’s history. The atmosphere was relaxed and the pub was fairly busy. My pint was decent and the menu here is meaty with cuts supplied from across the street from the market.The pub has a market license, so if you fancy a 7am pint with your breakfast your in luck. This pub also has accommodation in the form of six boutique rooms, I have seen a number of pubs diversifying their offering to include accommodation and the reviews here are very good..This @youngspub establishment is a excellent hostelry which offers its punters a great choice of food and drinks , they also offer a traditional pub experience with a modern twist. This is a must visit London pub..📊 Information correct on visiting 01/01/22

We enjoyed a lovely weekend at this traditional historic London pub, which serves the famous Smithfield Market, located across the road. As a result of this, it's Sunday roasts are a fantastic advert for Smithfield's produce. They are extremely worthy of gastro pub fare.Entering the pub you walk into a cosy wooden bar, which displays some fine local and guest ales, supplemented by a fine array of spirits and wines. Situated to the rear are cosy private wood panelled booths.Upstairs there is the hotel, comprising six well appointed boutique rooms, one being a suite. Luxuriating in a full length roll top bath adds to each rooms ambience and charm. Mini bars and fine tea and Nespresso coffee also add an indulgent touch.A totally relaxing experience, finished by brilliant staff, who truly excel in customer service. Special mention must be made for Erica and Sunny who are phenomenal, an expression I don't use lightly.Massive thumbs up to The Fox and Anchor!

Excellent pub, great food, small and intimate dining room with snugs, and a good little bar. One of the best.

A genuine hidden gem of a pub. Friendly staff, delicious food, cozy and comfortable room, and a fantastic location. Couldn't ask for more! Will definitely be staying here the next time we're in London.

This is an excellent pub right near The Charterhouse and Smithfield market. It's not too far from St. Paul's. It's certainly worth a visit if touring around the area. There are some fantastic pubs in the area away from the main tourists ones near St. Paul's and this is definitely on the list. We had stopped by on a pub crawl in the area and really liked the building and also the fact it was off the beaten track. I would come back for a pint or few next time I'm in the area.

The rooms here are beautiful, the team are so welcoming, especially Daniel who made us feel like VIPs for being there for our wedding. Food is delicious, location is perfect.

We've stayed twice and wouldn't stay anywhere else in London. Rooms feel really luxurious with everything you'd expect from a top end hotel - safe, mini-bar, dressing gowns, tea and coffee. Bed was really comfy, lots of hot water for the beautiful bath and shower. But best of all, really quiet even in Central London. We had the 2 nights stay, breakfast, a 3 course evening meal and free gins - an absolute bargain!! And all the staff are lovely. Can't recommend highly enough.
