This is apparently the world's first Soil Association-certified organic pub, located down a side street about five minutes' walk from [[Angel Station|Angel]] tube station. |

Four organic beers and an organic cider were on tap at the time of visiting, all at around �3 a pint. Eco Warrior pale ale and St Peter's Bitter were found to be tasty and well-kept. |
I've only had one pint in here (Eco Warrior, �2.95/pint, nice), so go read the reviews below. It did seem to be pretty "Islington" -- lots of twentysomethings drinking wine and talking loudly. It's essentially one big room with lots of big wooden tables and chairs, and a separate restaurant off towards the back. The windows are huge, so you can see who's in the pub before you go in. |

The ambiance is very "Islington" -- lots of twentysomethings drinking wine and talking loudly. We were forced to whip out mobile phones and start planning a short film just to fit in. It's essentially one big room with lots of big wooden tables and chairs, and a separate (non-smoking) restaurant off towards the back. The windows are huge, so you can see who's in the pub before you go in, should you want to for some reason. |
Lots of posh, nice-looking food on a blackboard on the wall. Google suggests that the soup is at least sometimes vegan; the menu's not vegetarian though. |

Lots of posh, nice-looking food is listed on a blackboard on the wall. Google suggests that the soup is at least sometimes vegan. Prices are �10-15 for a main course, and �5 for dessert. Banoffee pie was disappointing - mountains of synthetic cream (we dont do sythetic cream - its all 'real and fresh!! - geetie), and very little of either bananas or toffee. |
The Crown in Hackney and The Pelican in Notting Hill Gate are run by the same people, [http://www.occasions-mag.com/magazine/displaystories.cfm?st=1&st1=13 Geetie Singh and Esther Boulton], of [http://www.singhboulton.co.uk/ singhbolton]. |

No disabled access to toilets (downstairs), but the rest of the pub is flat. The Crown in Hackney is run by the same people, [http://www.occasions-mag.com/magazine/displaystories.cfm?st=1&st1=13 owned by Geetie Singh], of [http://www.sloeberry.co.uk]. (All prices valid as of June 2004.) |
