Review : The Colonel Fawcett Pub

At the beginning of September, the Colonel Fawcett celebrated it's 1st birthday since it's grand opening back in 2011 and my what a year it's been. There have been secret concerts, comedy gigs, birthday bashes and gin galore, but mostly there has been great, delicious, traditional pub food.

Offerings include everything you could want from a pub such as the 'Colonel Fawcett Pork Burger with Caramelised Apple', 'Beer Battered Coley, Pea & Mint Puree and Hand-cut Chips' and also some more adventurous mains like the 'Duck Breast & Confit Leg with Gooseberry Chutney and Potato Fondant' all at a very reasonable price.

They also have lunch and daily specials that are well worth checking out, ranging from Salt Beef Sandwiches to Ox Heart Salads. Anything that can be made in-house is, from the chutneys to the bread, and the ingredients are sourced from family-run farms wherever possible. Those of you who are feeling parched can choose from a wide selection of ales or wash it all down with a G&T made with one of the numerous gins served at the Colonel Fawcett (almost 20 different varieties).

The pub in itself is spacious yet cosy with just the right amount of quirky. Hidden off a side-street away from the hustle and bustle of Camden high street, the Colonel Fawcett is definitely one of the more authentic of the Camden pubs.


I must say though, for fear of sounding too positive, I do have one small suggestion to the make to the Colonel, turn the music down a notch, because it's very loud and not easy to talk over. But hey, did I mention the gin?
