3rd Feb 2011 - After being closed since august the Northgate has reopened. They have a new phone number 0207 359 0289, they have kept the same chef and have been recommended in this years Michellin guide after being open for 6 weeks.

8th Apr 2009 - I don't think it's changed much since the last review. It's a lovely gastro with a very laid-back feel. Big sofas, fire places, an open kitchen, decent hot chocolates, friendly staff. I'd definitely return.

23rd Oct 2004 - Ace pub. My local. Excellent food - and you can have it wherever you want, including on the large outsdie tables - not just in the back room that is set up for food. Friendly staff - genuinely so. Relaxed atmosphere, clientele all locals who appreciate a good pub when they know it, a bit Islingtonian middle classy but the nice side of that if you know what I mean - it's out of the main Upper-Street-centric posy zone. Great choice of wines + beers, all reasonably priced. And they have ocasional real ale festivals where you have 50+ barrels to choice from. Heaven. We go here a lot - well, we used to, but the only drawback would be that it's not entirely kiddy friendly...
