The Edinboro Castle (Camden - London)

The Edinboro Castle

On the most tranquil of quiet afternoons away from the bustle of Camden and its markets you may be delighted to whisk yourself away to the Edinboro Castle and the fruits of its beer and its picnic tables. Guided by a colleague we found the place quite easily at the top of a hill and upon entering found beer at about £2.50. The place wasn’t too busy so it was a nice place to relax even if it felt a little expensive. Unfortunately the bar staff are not at all friendly. The place itself was far more garden than pub and better presented itself for summer use but during the day there was clearly no waiting time at bar. A nice pub but I have my doubts abouts its quality during the night or during the winter.

Overall 5/10

    The place is actually OK in the winter because there aren’t so many visitors. It’s biggest problem is the staff, who as well as being surly are phenomenally slow. If as many as three people are waiting at the bar then the four or five staff will really struggle. On a busy summer lunchtime you can expect a 15 minute plus wait at the bar.
    You get the feeling that the management have utter contempt for the punters, in a kind of “Sod them, we’ve got a big garden so the idiots will come in anyway” way.
