The Bull is a long established pub at 100 Upper Street in Islington, with a history reaching back to the nineteenth century. Its corner position, full length windows and blend of traditional and contemporary details create a bright, sociable setting for lunch, dinner or drinks near Angel.
The food centres on British pub classics and seasonal dishes served throughout the day. Bar snacks, sandwiches, lighter plates and more substantial mains make the menu flexible enough for a quick midweek visit, a meal before a nearby performance or an extended catch up with friends.
Sunday roasts are a distinct part of the weekly offering, while dedicated burger and evening set menus add further choice. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are identified on the menu, helping mixed groups find suitable options without moving away from the pub’s familiar, comforting style.
The drinks list ranges across beer, wine, spirits and cocktails, and an upstairs lounge provides an alternative to the main downstairs bar. Menus and recipes can change, so guests with allergies or specific dietary requirements should consult the current allergen information and speak with the team before ordering.
Address: 100 Upper Street, Islington, London N1 0NP, England
