Since The Eagle kickstarted the gastropub phenomenon, plenty of other old boozers in its vicinity have followed its example. Arguably Clerkenwell now has the greatest concentration of gastropubs in London and the Easton is one of the more noted. There's no deviation from the usual gastro interior: large windows, fancy wallpaper and stripped out furnishings. Nor is there a great selection on tap: Kronenburg, Staropramen and Hoegaarden will no doubt keep plenty of punters happy but when more and more pubs in London are stocking a wider variety of continental beers you would like to see a greater choice, even in a place that plays such emphasis on its food. On that front The Easton promises a weekly changing menu though we've yet to sample it. We don't doubt its excellence, though the overall feel of the place - in common with many one-roomed gastropubs - is that if you're just after a few drinks you won't feel too at home here. A problem, alas, that now affects a lot of the pubs in the area. (New photo to come).
