The Peasant

“The cosy bar area has bright red walls, a lovely mosaic floor, illustrated tiles, pretty pink flower arrangements and burnished leather sofas. The range of draught beers is similarly inviting, with The Peasant's own lager, Cruz Campo, Bombardier and the little seen Crouch Vale's Brewer's Gold… Organic salmon came in a caroccio with leeks, herbs – an Italian dish with all the tongue tingling qualities of an Asian recipe.” – Time Out London - Eating & Drinking 2008

“Soaring since its refurbishment by the aptly named Wright brothers in 2001, the Peasant is a model gastropub: classy without being condescending, adventurous without being ridiculous and above all, blessed with a richness of personality absent at more aloof establishments.” – Time Out Bars & Clubs 2008

“The restaurant, best enjoyed on balmy nights, stands firmly in the modern British camp. Bold flavours are evident throughout, from a starter of wood pigeon cassoulet with a rich, hearty broth to perfectly pink venison topped with a warm pat of Cropwell Bishop Stilton, followed by a delicious bread & butter pudding accompanied by two jugs – one of cream, the other of warm caramel.” – Square Meal, Restaurant and Bars 2008

“The restaurant is best enjoyed on balmy nights, when the spread out onto the lush plant laden balcony… downstairs the Victorian bar decked out in spectacular mosaics churn out closer to home pub food with impressive Spanish charcuterie and a mean steak sandwich on grilled sourdough” – Square Meal, Restaurant and Bars 2008

“Gin palace turned gastropub, the pleasant Peasant exudes a contemporary tone with its continental draught beers and posters of punk rock stars.” – Time Out Bars, Pubs & Clubs Guide 2008/9

“The Peasant is a model Gastropub: classy without being condescending, adventurous without being ridiculous and above all, blessed with a richness of personality absent at more aloof establishments.” – Time Out 2008

“As a senior member of the London gastro-pub scene, the Peasant continues to set the standard for others to follow and one of its greatest strengths is that it is still very much a real pub.” – Michelin, Eating out in pubs 2008
