About The Peasant
Nestled in between Islington and Smithfield markets, The Peasant is a beautifully restored former gin palace that offers great British food in the bar downstairs, and superb fine dining in the restaurant upstairs. A fully-working traditional fireplace and original pub furniture, set against deep red walls and a 17th century mosaic floor, coupled with impeccable service by friendly staff allow The Peasant to provide one of the warmest welcomes of any London pub. Alongside its regular menus, The Peasant also offers a feasting menu for large groups where whole roast suckling pig, whole legs of lamb, giant pies and whole roast salmon can be sampled. Whatever the occasion - weddings, group gatherings or business meetings - The Peasant will guarantee that it is a truly memorable one.

The Peasant was packed upstairs and down. Christmas menu - egg & haddock followed by bream. Both done well. The pork crackling had mixed reviews from other guests. Three nice puddings and a chateauneuf de pape washed down a treat.
We booked a table for 12 very last minute and the restaurant were very accommodating. We wanted to preorder as the booking was quite late and the restaurant were more than accommodating, asking us even to specify a time for when we wanted the food to arrive! The food itself was delicious, the crab bisque is highly recommended. Our entire party had a great evening.
I have been to the Peasant many times and it is always reliable. I had ham hock terrine to start, not great but OK. (we were surprised that of the 5 starters 4 were pig based - many people don't like pig meat so their choice was limited). I had lamb for main which was excellent; my companion had salmon also rated very good. We shared a pear crumble for dessert - bland! good crumble is so easy to make there is no excuse for something without flavour. Service very good.
Good quality pub grub - but one notch up on the rest. Had a tasty bottle of red at a decent price too. Service very friendly. Well worth a visit
The Peasant, Clerkenwell, is an old fashioned pub with a good range of beers combined with a great gastropub menu served in the bar with tempting choices.
