the drapers arms








i skulked over to the drapers arms on sunday afternoon.








i sat in the corner by the window so i'd have a little bit of daylight...
to photograph my pint.






i very much liked the windows...








but wasn't too keen on my snack
it was advertised as a 'manchester egg'
on enquiring about it i was told it was like a scotch egg but with black pudding.

it was a bit ropey to be honest.


still, if you want a nice quiet stylish boozer in islington, i would seriously recommend it.
i've eaten there before and the food was very good. it's a big pub with a garden and 
a nicely designed interior. the staff seem very friendly too.

  1. That looks like an unlicensed Manchester Egg to me. I'm flattered they've had a go, but seriously, they should get in touch to get the right bloody recipe!

    I'm Ben, I invented it, it'd be great to have it available in London, but it must be done right!
