Young’s has acquired The Canonbury in Islington from Dawes Restaurants. General Manager, Oisin Rogers, formerly of The Ship moves over to run the new pub.
The magnificent 3,000 square foot Georgian pub boasts a 70-cover dining room, an elegant first floor private room and a 4,000 square foot garden. As one would expect from a Young’s pub with Rogers at the helm, the venue will be food-led with a menu that focuses on best seasonal British ingredients and a wide selection of real ales and craft beers.
Oisín Rogers comments:
“I am really excited that my name is going over the door at The Canonbury and look forward to opening this new pub for Young’s. The Canonbury has huge potential and, with the recruitment of a great kitchen brigade, we will be developing a strong food offer.”
The pub is now closed, undergoing an extensive refurbishment by Harrison Design before re-opening late May 2015. The renovations will include new fixtures and furniture to create an elegant stripped-back space featuring reclaimed original fittings and comfortable leather booths and sofas. The garden will also receive a complete makeover.
The purchase of the Canonbury brings the Young’s portfolio to 130 pubs in London and the South East.
