Duke of Cambridge

Geetie Singh, owner of this expansive, airy pub in the backstreets of Islington, has an MBE for services to the organic pub trade. She has also written a cookbook, so her well-heeled devotees can attempt to replicate the culinary experience at home. You can see why they’d want to: a meal might start with beef carpaccio with radish, rocket & pickled red onion, & continue with whole lemon sole with fresh peas, broad beans, bacon & cider sauce. The Duke is certified by the Soil Association, approved by the Marine Conservation Society, runs on wind & solar electricity, & sources most of its produce from the Home Counties. To drink, try a pint of London-brewed Freedom or Pitfield ale, or a glass of chilled English wine, & treat yourself to cherry tart with vanilla & amaretto ice cream.
