Very good pub a couple of minutes walk from Old Street tube station. Four cask beers - and one cider - on handpump when I last visited including a winter ale. Outside seating on a roof terrace with umbrellas.

Friendly and helpful staff.

The best Sunday roast I ever had!
I had a pork belly and it was absolutely amazing! Yorkshire, veges, chutney , pork it was delicious!
The place looked a bit random at first, but we went upstairs to sit on the rooftop terrace and it was a great atmosphere, staff friendly and attentive and the food amazing, so would definitely recommend it for sure.

Came to the Old Fountain for a roast dinner with a couple of friends after a heavy day of drinking the day before.

I myself had already eaten a Reuben in Borough Market a few hours before consuming a delicious slow cooked Lamb roast at the Old Fountain.

The roast was phenomenal, great portion sizes, amazing flavour and definitely one of the better pub roasts I've had the pleasure of eating.

This was eaten on the pub's rooftop section which basked in the rare London sunlight. Old Fountain has a good selection of classic beverages but also some decent craft beers too.

The staff were also fantastic and very friendly throughout!

Great Sunday roast with some fun drinks. Lots of options for vegetarians and great service. The jackfruit fritters are so good!

There’s a lady with pink hair which everyone else mentions as being a little upfront. She seems fine to me :) The staff are really patient and helpful and the food is really great. They even have a recommended beer with each of the roasts. What more can a person ask for on a Sunday than roast and a suggested pint to go with his food 🥘 🙌🏼

Total lack of atmosphere. We came here on a Saturday evening and the pub was nearly empty. Not a good sign. Very basic menu. My husband and father in law ordered the fish&chips. The fish was obviously frozen and not fresh because very watery. Tasteless. I chose the buffalo burger. But it didn’t come as expected and described. Very small burger slapped beta few leaves of lettuce and a slice of tomato.
Food prepared without love and interest.
And it was crazy expensive too!
