One of my favourite East London pubs - now a gastropub. Had dinner there last night, was delighted to find partridge on the menu, which was delicious. Also good ale, and good wines by the glass - and great service.

What a great find. Staff is so very kind as we were with our dogs and a baby and they helped us out with anything. Burger was delicious, location is really close to Victoria park and it’s a very cosy and simple interior with a wheelchair accessible entry and toilet.

We popped in for a drink and ended up ordering some desert. Really cosy atmosphere, great food and excellent service. Dogs are allowed. The chocolate tart and fruit sorbet was amazing.

A really nice place to stop by on a Sunday. The staff were super friendly, the atmosphere was great and the Sunday roast was delicious!!

What a gorgeous little pub. And wonderful staff who really understand that it’s ALL about customer service & friendliness. We’ve enjoyed the delicious vegan Sunday roast, and there’s a terrific £12 meal deal on Monday nights. Cannot recommend this place and its warm cosy ambience highly enough. And a heads up for the Hackney brewed pale ale. 💜💜💜

Very reasonably priced beers.
Had the flat iron steak and chips and it was unreal. Highly recommend.

Attractive, open and light space immaculately presented and with great outdoor seating - excellent range of beers served by charming staff. Very much looking forward to coming back to try the food, which looks fantastic!

Dog friendly 🐶🐶❤️ Originally recommended from a friend. Walked in on Sunday looking for a table of 4. Considering the location just outside Victoria park hopes were low but we incredibly got ourself a table. The manager at the door was very welcoming and accomodating.
Bloody Mary is served with freshly grated horseradish, SO yummy!
Both pork belly and beef roast were delicious.
Staff was really friendly.
Rhubarb crumble was incredible!
A perfect Sunday, thank you ⭐

Had a wonderful birthday meal with friends here. The tempura vegetables were lovely for starters, the duck breast main was amazing, as was the puds - I tried too many to remember them all, but loved the rhubarb crumble.
The staff were attentive and even treated me to a birthday beer.
I can't wait to visit again.
Knocking a star off as the gents was a bit below par. 👃
