Food is always great, they have my favourite beers, an amazing garden (which you can still enjoy when it's cold outside as they have heaters), and it's never too busy/loud which is great. Love the indoor plants too!

Had my last day visit at Royal Star, Old Street—and it turned out to be one to remember. I went for the onion & mushroom , beef steak pie, and while I’d ordered onion & mushroom pie, chips arrived instead—classic busy day mix-up. Farjana, who was working front-of-house that day, handled it with quiet efficiency. Even though the place was packed and she couldn’t stop for long, she made sure the mix-up was sorted in no time. That simple gesture added a personal touch that meant more than it might’ve seemed. Tasty food, good vibes, and a little moment I’ll carry with me. Definitely recommend if you’re around Old Street.
