Lively Old Street gastropub with standout pizzas, friendly staff, and a lovely garden; service is generally quick though occasional waits and small inconsistencies pop up.
Royal Star delivers solid food quality anchored by crisp pizzas and reliable pub classics, paired with genuinely friendly and attentive service that keeps regulars returning. The attractive back garden and fair pricing elevate the neighborhood experience, though occasional consistency dips and modest destination appeal prevent grade A territory. A dependable gastropub that executes its concept well without pretension.
One caveat: Drinks service can back up behind cocktail orders at busy times (isolated but notable)
