The Lord Stanley, Camden

Brilliant. Nice draught beer to start with and an excellent gastropub dinner to follow. Bruschetta with goats cheese, jerusalem artichokes and walnut dressing. Lamb hotpot pasta. Ben had beetroot and mixed leaves salad followed by Roast pigeon, peas, turnips, spuds and interesting sauce. A very down to earth place with sensible pricing in whole pounds - none of the effete £4-99 rubbish - just £5. Whole meal for 2 was £42 including some beer. I'm beginning to like London pubs a lot. Most of them do very good food (if you avoid Kings Cross) and most have good beers on tap. There's a lot to go at...
