The Draper's Arms
44 Barnsbury St, Islington, London N1 1ER
Latest critic review: July 25, 2009
Islington favourite gets a makeover.
Former award-winning gastro pub is taken over by Ben Maschler (son of critic Fay). Both pub and menu have had a make-over, the former has been painted an ill-advised hospital bluey-green, and the menu takes St John as its influence with plenty of offal on offer.

Time Out Reviewed on May 14, 2009 "The most memorable aspect of the Drapers wasn’t the food or drink, or even the well-proportioned building; it was the impeccable service." READ REVIEW

David Sexton
Evening Standard Reviewed on May 14, 2009 "On this form, the Drapers... looks like it’s going straight back to being the joy of the neighbourhood that it was in its heyday." READ REVIEW

Dos Hermanos Reviewed on May 12, 2009 "I would expect, though, given the simplicity of the dishes – most of the starters are composed or pre-prepped – that the execution should be spot on. Expecting and getting though are two different things." READ REVIEW Estimated score
