The Vine

The Vine in North London's buzzy Kentish Town is a perfect example of a wonderful marriage between old and new. Housed in a grand old Edwardian pub that's been contemporarily and stylishly redesigned, this locally popular venue boasts fireside sofas for the winter, and a large secluded garden for Britain's sunnier days. A modern Mediterranean menu packed full of comforting favourites has won the hearts of regulars, including chargrilled tuna steak and polla funghetto baked chicken with white wine, cream and mushrooms. Save room for desserts such as a warm chocolate and almond tort, as well as a beautifully selected drinks list.
