"Because there was only 2 of us this year, as a treat, we decided to have Christmas Day lunch here. The cost was £95 each expensive for us but we thought we would spoil ourselves. When we arrived the fire was blazing and everything looked fine. Unfortunately because the temperament was unusually mild, being seated by the fire was not ideal. The table had to be moved slightly away from the fire but the sweat was still pouring from us. The staff did their best and I have no criticism of their service and manner. My problem was with the food itself. Our starters were small and forgettable. The main turkey course was a plate of stodge with vegetables either under, or overcooked. We got a doggy bag for the pudding and left early. The pudding itself was underwhelming. Basically, you are being ripped off because it's Christmas. An over priced disappointment that I am happy try to forget."

Lamb Hogget was superb, friendly service. It was the England Switzerland QF and the place was crazy busy. Watching the football whilst eating a meal felt civilised and grown up although noisy !

Had a great time at The Canonbury recently the atmosphere was fantastic, staff really friendly and whole experience very festive! We had a bite to eat and thought it was delicious, really nice to have the option of a dining room experience within a pub so a few beers at the bar afterwards! Highly recommend and look forward to returning.

Christmas Day My partner I visited the Canonbury Tavern for lunch on Christmas Day. We walked in to a very festive welcome the fire was roaring it was perfect! Our table was next to a young family who we got talking to everyone was so friendly. Our food was great as were the staff, nothing was too much trouble. We both really enjoyed the day and will be back very soon!

Came here for my husband's 70 th birthday party. We were a party of 7 adults, 2 pre-schoolers and a toddler. So happy with the table we were given which was in the warm and spacious back room. The food all was delicious, with good options for the children and vegan. The pre drinks and dishes came out promptly and the staff were super helpful and pleasant. Would thoroughly recommend for a classy, relaxed and good value meal

My son lives around the corner, and this is his “local” so we went for a Sunday dinner/roast and sat out on their lovely garden patio. Despite a football game going on and the place packed with screaming fans, the staff was on point and delivered food and drinks promptly. Was the food incredible…not exactly, but delicious and well prepared. However, this is a pub, not a gourmet restaurant. There are plenty of those around London if you’re looking for a “fine dining” experience. However, if you want a lively British pub experience with better than average food, great selection of beers, ciders, and mixed drinks…this is the place! We’ll be back…
