A proper London pub doing things properly. 🍻

Meet The Steam Engine, the kind of pub where you can settle in for a proper pint, a good old chat and probably stay a little longer than planned. 👀

We love working with independent pubs like this, places with plenty of character, good people behind the bar and a real community at their heart.

So if you’re nearby, pop in, grab yourself a drink of Crafty Blends Apple Cider and support your local. 🍺

We’ll see you at the bar!

Love it when these two get together! 🍸 (Taken pre-pregnancy 😉)

One of the best things about the Ravenswood Collective is the community of owners we have around us. Siobhan from Mother's Ruin is a fellow female founder, just like us, and we’re proud to call her a pal!

Taking on the chaos of the estate day by day, supporting each other and having a bloody good time along the way.

So support your local, head over to Mother's Ruin for some seriously delicious cocktails and even tastier gin. 🍸

Date for the diary when we're both next open - Saturday 19th October Real Al will be opening our doors for a special community project, so come and have a pint.

A proper bit of London pub history 🍻

Meet the The Chapel Market Tavern, sitting proudly at the western end of Chapel Market in Islington.

This pub dates all the way back to 1811, making it a Chapel Market staple for over 200 years.

The building has seen plenty of changes over the years, with previous lives including The Salmon & Compasses, The Joker of Penton Street, Hicce Hart and more, before becoming the Chapel Market Tavern in 2024.

Today, it’s all about great drinks, proper pub food and a rotating selection of craft beers, right in the heart of one of London’s oldest street markets.

A little bit of history, a lot of good times. Sounds like our kind of place.

Happy birthday Thatch! 🐶🎂

Our four legged friend has been with us for 5 years now! She’s part of the team, part of the family and basically dictates her own walking schedule.

There’s dog cake on the way, so she’s already having a pretty good day!

Have the best birthday, Thatch. ❤️

Did you know traditional ale pumps are the perfect way to serve cider from BIBs? 🍎🍺

With cider drinking back on the up, it could be the perfect time to make use of those ale pumps you already have sitting on the bar.
