The Duke of Cambridge Organic Pub Full Review
Posted: 14 February 2008 by Rikke Bruntse-Dahl
Being serious chocolate fans, we were disappointed by the dessert. We had been looking forward to a creamy and smooth organic and Fairtrade chocolate pot. But it was too hard, too sweet and slightly grainy.
The wine list, however, was more than impressive. It boasts of around 40 wines from around the world, including England, and they all come with detailed tasting notes and 'organic status' which explains whether it's certified (organic), biodynamic, vegan etc. If we were to be really annoying, we would say it would have been nice if the certification bodies were mentioned there too.
When we left at around 9pm the pub area was absolutely packed -- and we do understand why. While we weren't hugely impressed by the starter and dessert as restaurant food, the main courses were great and we would consider it all Michelin pub food.
But one thing is for sure: no pubs or restaurants we've been to (and that's a good few) can compete with The Duke when it comes to drinks, sustainability, ethics and initiative.
Essentials: A three course meal for two at The Duke of Cambridge will cost approx £60 and a pint about £3. The pub is close to Angel Station. 30 St Peters Street, Islington, London, N1, England.
