Strongers . left this review about Motley
Next to the entrance of Motley a weird manikin in red, orange and pink hues sits next to an easel where guests are greeted, many of whom would be attending for a bottomless brunch. The menus are pink and all the staff have pink and white t-shirts to blend in with the copious amounts of white blooms that create the perfect hen night venue. Unsurprisingly the cocktails are popular, but the island bar also supports three Camden Brewery beers alongside Stella Unfiltered and Orchard Pig cider, half a Hells was £3.50. There’s a mix of furniture throughout from booths to bucket seats to stools and sofas, There was actually some decent upbeat background music playing during my recent early midweek evening visit.
Outside, café tables run along the length of the building on the path protected by the passing hoardes by large planters. This place isn’t really aimed at the middle aged man demographic I firmly sit in, but I was quite happy sitting at the bar drinking my half whilst being surrounded by polite staff.

ROB Camra left this review about Pesto
This is an Italian themed bar and restaurant. It’s mostly a restaurant but they have a number of bar stools for people who just want a drink at the bar and they’re happy for you to come in just for a drink. The walls are chock a block with Italian memorabilia, pictures, mirrors etc around the walls and the service is quick and friendly. No real stuff of course, in fact the draught selection is limited to Peroni. The food is very good though, they specialise in the Italian version of tapas, which is Piattini. It’s a pleasant place to sit and watch the world go by and the other half loves it of course which is why we often call in for one.
