The Farrier is a new neighbourhood pub for Camden, taking over the Horse HospitalThe Farrier

North Yard, Camden Market, Chalk Farm Road, London NW1 8AH

This new neighbourhood pub and restaurant is taking over a Grade II listed building in Camden and will have both a big focus on natural wine as well as a very handy heated courtyard. The menu sounds extremely promising (we love the sound of the aerated toffee popcorn cake) and they'll even be serving Sunday roasts that you can carve at your own table.

It's from veteran chef and former Alan Yau partner Chi San and is celebrating the very best in Chinese cooking. Expect this to be on a few reviewers' must-visit list.
