Busy but laid-back, the venue attracts the trendy Clerkenwell set and loquacious office workers alike. Nicely presented food is served until 9.45pm. The bar is a series of settle-lined cubbyholes and alcoves arranged around a central island serving area, offering real ales as well as lagers. The stone walls are decorated with pictures of Hitchcock, together with snippets from his assorted movies. Food is offered by way of curries from a nearby restaurant.
Service is friendly and the ambience congenial.
Basic home-cooked lunches such as ham, egg and chips or roast beef and Yorkshire pudding are served. A remarkable conversion from a neo-Gothic church with a tall, spacious art gallery in what was the nave, a long thin bar beside it and a small Modern European restaurant upstairs. On weekdays it's quieter, with plentiful seating available. This light and airy gastropub is usually packed with a cool crowd in their twenties and thirties. The drinks list and menu are wholly organic and wines are either vegetarian or vegan.
