Friendly Pub with Delicious Sunday Roast

My recent excursion to The Snooty Fox in Canonbury turned into a charming foray into quintessential British pub culture. Nestled in the London suburbs, this seemingly simple haunt serves more than just ale and grub; it dishes out a slice of life and camaraderie that feels rare in today's rushed world. As art from yesteryear lines the walls, you’re quickly set at ease by the friendly, attentive staff. Even in the grumble of a bustling evening crowd, service manages to spring ahead of expectations, fostering a warm atmosphere that's genuinely inviting.

What truly sparkled was the unassuming heartiness of the fare, especially my selection of the grilled chicken burger which danced tantalizingly with flavors beyond typical tavern offerings. It left me pondering the culinary talent hidden behind pub doors. While vegan options could use attention – it baffles why unavailable items are listed – the remaining menu champions both variety and finesse. Despite some critiques on roast missteps and atmospheric oddities (alas, the NSM City-2 jukebox's silence over two years is a poignant omission), The Snooty Fox joins the voyage home, lodging fond memories of an intimate English pub evening. Of course, its proximity to the train station teases easy returns for bustling catch-ups over their affordable Wednesday deal. — Jasper Griddle
