The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
The fairly unprepossessing façade hardly exudes a magnetic attraction given the choice of more architecturally impressive pubs nearby, yet Isobar remains popular with those in the know. While the drinks selection is decent, with the likes of Estrella on draft, it’s the food that really seals the deal. For co-owner Allan Woodhall has a knack of producing exceptional pub food at very reasonable prices, and clearly cares about quality more than your average dabbler in pub grub. The brunch menu is particularly tempting, with the likes of Bowman’s red pudding adding local flavour to proceedings, while burgers are done to a T and come with an impressive selection of toppings, although even these are outclassed by the truly imperious chips.
