Hicce Hart, N1

This food led pub has four hand pumps on the bar that were drawing Cheddar valley cider, East India Pale Ale, Adnams and Ruby mild during my visit on Saturday night a couple of weeks ago. There are also some premium lagers and I was poured a nice half of Guinness that was served in a dinky little dimpled jug by a very friendly member of staff. This is an open plan pub with an open kitchen and I have to say that it was quite hot and I was glad to find a free picnic table on the path outside to knock back my drink. This place doesn’t open until 17:00 on Mondays and Tuesdays and midday on other days, but the closing times are listed as ‘late’, whatever that means. There’s nothing really wrong with this place, but it’s a little too gastro for my tastes.
