The Drapers Arms
London, Islington - Modern British - Pub
It’s trad pub decor all the way at this Islington hostelry, which is as rustically pubby as you can get without achieving a sense of neglect. Inside, it looks down to earth and under-dressed, with a wood floor that’s reassuringly scuffed. Here is an invaluable local resource that offers pitch-perfect service alongside a menu that might feature generous starters such as veal sweetbread à la forestière, as well as traditional classics including rump steak with chips, salad and salsa verde, plus Sunday lunches of whole roast chicken with roast potatoes, veg, bread sauce and gravy. The cheese plate encourages ordering another glass of something from the inspired wine list, which comes courtesy of owner Nick Gibson.
