I popped in here the other night to pick up a menu and the food I saw coming out looked great.

I used to go here when it was the Salmon & Compass back in my Islington days. It’s impressive how they convert pubs into restaurants these days by simply removing half the bar and slotting in an open galley kitchen.

They’ve done exactly the same at the Pennethorne in Vicci Park, also worth checking if you’re in the area..

They were almost too generous! I mean, I appreciate it, but it won’t do anyone any good if they go out of business!

I, too, was impressed by the generosity of portions at the Compass. When I was there for dinner, the foie gras was an enormous, beautifully-seared slab for eight quid. The Compass is a nice addition to the ‘hood.
