Description
A quietly confident neighbourhood pub just moments from Finsbury Park, The Plimsoll is one of those places that locals fiercely protect - for very good reason. Classic from the outside but warm and pared‑back within, it nails the balance between proper pub vibes and seriously good dining. You can drop in for a pint at the bar or settle in for an evening that’s all about relaxed hospitality, thoughtful cooking and unfussy charm.
Food is where The Plimsoll really shines. Led by chef‑owner Matt Breeden, formerly of much‑loved wine bar P. Franco, the kitchen focuses on seasonal British ingredients cooked with confidence and restraint. The menu champions wood‑fired cooking, top‑quality produce and flavours that feel rustic yet refined, earning the pub a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its consistently excellent cooking and value. Expect dishes that change regularly, generous plates for sharing and the kind of food that feels special without ever being showy.
Drinks are given equal care, with well‑kept beers, a smart, natural‑leaning wine list and a relaxed approach that encourages lingering. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and refreshingly down‑to‑earth, adding to the sense that this is a pub first and foremost - just one that happens to cook exceptionally well. Whether you’re heading in for a casual roast, a date‑night dinner or a pint that turns into something more, The Plimsoll is a modern London pub done absolutely right.
