About Us:
Tucked away behind Highbury and Islington, we’re 5 minutes from the tube, we are one of Islington's best kept secret. We are a well used refreshment stop for those on their way to the Emirates Stadium, with match days being our busiest days. We are a fast paced pub, with winter months being just as busy as summer ones. Teamwork is key during the busier times, with communication skills being a high priority. We are a great team to work with, we like to have fun while working hard to give our customers a great experience!
