Went here to meet some friends and we did the quiz. Very friendly staff and reasonably priced drinks, well worth going again when I'm in the area

Really good atmospheric pub and good prices.

Fave joint in the locality, with good priced pints! Great evening atmosphere. (NB Google maps opening times need updating - almost didn’t visit as said it shut at 10:30)

Popped in for a post match pint. Good atmosphere and Sunday roasts were in full swingI'd say make sure you book in advance as if you've not there is limited space to sit and drink.Would most certainly go back for a roast and book in advance
Kellie Wragg
Amazing roast, great wines and cosy atmosphere. Our absolute favourite
Claire McDonagh
Best Guinness I’ve had outside Ireland in a while. Been in London 12
Joe Taylor
The place to be in Finsbury Park. Also the Guinness is to die for! Long live WB and the Auld S in stokie!

We came here for Sunday lunch today, and can honestly say that we all agreed it was one of the best roast’s we’d had out at a pub. Portions were generous, food was delicious and service super friendly. Highly recommend!

We came to W B Yeats a few weeks ago for a Sunday roast lunch as it had the best reviews in the area and overall it delivered on most fronts. The eating area looks spacious and airy but it became rather cramped as other diners arrived. Service was good, but not all utensils were completely clean. My roast pork with trimmings was actually very good and quantities were just right. The stuffing, potatoes and burnt apple sauce were nice accompanies. Just a shame that the crackling, though it looked good, was rather chewy. My son's opinion about the pork was similar, but my wife was less excited about her chicken which was rather dry and bland. Prices for London were reasonable. Overall we were happy with our choice to eat here and would recommend W B Yeats to others for Sunday lunch.

We had a Sunday lunch for the first time at this place hearing the good reviews about the food.It was so disappointing. Neither of the dishes do not deserve the price point! 25£ for a meal??? The roast pork was so tough and the crackling was so chewy. It tasted like it was boiled and not seasoned. The sides were boiled to death, no seasoning, and the Yorkshire pudding was not freshly made, it was cold and tasted like it was from frozen.The same can be said about the beef, 3 small slices of the cheapest cut beef, unseasoned and looked so bland. I’m not sure who’s responsible in the kitchen but these should be quality checked. Couldn’t finish the meal cos we were chewing bland rubber for ages.There were 4 waitresses and none of them seem to be alert enough to know what’s going on, the pub was empty at 12 and they seem to all be confused on how the system works. Also the pub smelt of vomitEdit: Just a response to the reply. Thank you for this information, but my family works in catering companies and some are Mechlin chefs, so I think I would know what a simple roast should taste like. If they were cooked fresh, the puddings shouldn’t taste like cardboard, it seems like don’t even put them under a heated lamp. The pork being so chewy is a clear sign that it wasn’t cooked long enough, the meat should be tender and the crackling, crispy, but they were both chewy which means that it was cooked so fast then broiled to achieve that crispy skin look (but not properly cooked).Ofcourse no one would say this in the moment, and I don’t think this is by all means intended to offend you, but since you’re a business, please take into consideration the price point of what you’re charging for what you serve. 26£ per plate of what you serve is obscene, compared to actual restaurants around the area serving £15 per dish.

Lovely small pub near Finsbury Park train station. Good atmosphere on weeknights with a mix of people drinking after work, groups of mates and dates. Very cosy on the weekends. Supports a local 5 a side league too. Sport on TV so busy when Arsenal play.

I'm sure their accountants are delighted that there are 500 people rammed in like sardines here but that makes it a terrible place to be a customer. Avoid.
