What otoogood doesn't like about Charles Lamb Pub:
Wow, tasteless cloudy beer combined with having to clear my own table and staff who didn’t give two hoots, how poor can service be? I even returned my pint, still 3/4 full to the bar and nobody cared as to why? Heaven forbid when you’re busy. Sorry I’m not a regular, maybe that is why? I do however live in Islington. View all feedback. What Nicholas W likes about Charles Lamb Pub:
We went in on the off chance looking for a pint and some food. Good atmosphere, a reasonable selection of ales including one named after the writer himself and cheerful staff. Staff suggested the chicken leek and tarragon pie. I went for that and my partner had the burger. Best pub grub we've had in a while. Looking forward to my next visit View all feedback.

Beautiful ambiente, well maintained pub with board games and decent meals

The Charles Lamb in Islington offers a cozy, French-inspired atmosphere with delicious food, cocktails, and welcoming staff. While some reviewers have experienced issues like poor service and overcrowding, others praise the pub for its fantastic food, friendly service, and charming ambiance. Regulars express sadness over the departure of a beloved chef, and loyal patrons are encouraged to bid him farewell. Overall, the Charles Lamb is a great spot for a casual meal with friends or to enjoy a relaxing drink in a warm and inviting setting in Islington.

I’ve just had the best bangers and mash in a pub ever. Succulent Cumberland sausages and proper mash, washed down with excellent real ale. A proper London pub.
