The Peasant in Islington

Excellent food and great service. Highly recommend for a Sunday roast and a Bloody Mary!

Fabulous food, excellent service especially the barstaff and their fantastic cocktails. The Peasant has a wonderful friendly atmosphere, in a super historic building, can't recommend it enough.

Shane and I were looking for lunch, and the menu outside suggested a good array of classy dishes no dearer than some other nearby pubs.Light streamed through the big windows creating a welcoming ambiance, and we got menus from the friendly waitress as soon as we sat down. She scored extra points from me by turning down the loud nondescript music without hesitation when asked.I chose pork belly with mash and greens from the main courses, and Shane went for the bangers and mash. We weren't in a heavy drinking mood so I can't comment on their range of beers and wines.All the dishes were expertly cooked and presented, and my dish only £15, including veg.The desserts looked great, but we were were too full, so I had just an excellent double espresso.I must come back often( although I didn't ask if the evening menu is more pricey)

This place came recommended to me for a great Sunday roast so maybe my expectations were a bit high. The potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, gravy and red cabbage were good, the other vegetables unfortunately undercooked and we tried the beef and the pork roasts: the beef was average (I didn't want to finish it) and the pork so extremely fatty I couldn't eat it - but my partner ate whatever meat could be found among the fat and said it was alright.The fish and chips on the next table looked incredible though, so maybe we were a bit unlucky.

A very nice cosy little pub. Well known for it's Sunday roast (which is most excellent). Good selection of beers and ales on tap, friendly staff that are very welcoming which overall creates a lovely atmosphere. Overall a great place to visit for either a pint after work, dinner or a Sunday roast dinner.

Good pint, not the bad service. But I am sorry for cold dry turkey with uncooked veg and watery gravy 23 pounds it's insult almost slap on a face. Want my money back

A lovely surprise, one of the best pub roasts, but the real highlight were the tasty carefully put together starters and probably the best creme brûlée ever! We had one roast pork that needed returning to the kitchen but the staff were quick and polite and happy to help, which was much appreciated. All in all, the experience was excellent.

Decided to have Sunday Lunch at this local pub earlier today. Have to say we were not disappointed in the slightest.The staff are lovely, non intrusive and efficient.We were seated at a very comfortable table, everything flowed smoothly from there. The pub is large, quirky but traditional.The food is amazing, hats off to the chef, everything is a British Sunday lunch but with French influences and generosity.We had Calamari and deep-fried goats cheese to start both divine, the latter was almost a meal in itself , if we had known how substantial the mains are we would have given them a miss-note for next time.We then had the chicken and slow roasted belly pork(divine), with all the trimmings, everything seasoned to perfection, the cheesiest cauliflower, sweet braised red cabbage, enormous yorkshires, broccoli and orange and thyme roasted carrots, lashings of onion gravy and roasties capped it all off..Couldn't even look at desserts but if they are anything like the rest, they are special I am sure.Give this place a go? its is worth every penny..

Wandered in on a Sunday afternoon and were lucky enough to have a table available! Ordered the pork belly and chicken roasts plus some mulled wine and boy oh boy was it delicious. The roasts arrived in about 5 minutes, and were definitely some of the best roasts we've ever had. Everything cooked to perfection, fresh and beautifully presented. Perfect sized portions and well priced. The staff were super efficient and quick, as well as friendly. Had the orange floorless cake for dessert which I found a little too bitter for my tastes and the clotted cream too thick, but still enjoyable overall. Would definitely recommend for a Sunday roast!

very good midweek pub grab, in a super friendly place. sausage and mash was fab, pork belly good (as was the sharing meze starter). portions are very generous, so we had no appetite left to try desserts. long list of wines, draft and bottle beers, and a few ciders too.
