Tom Harris and Jon Rotheram's Grade II-listed Hackney Road pub: downstairs a proper drinking den, upstairs the dining room turning out the beef-and-barley buns and brown butter & honey tart that built the queue. Michelin Pub of the Year 2017, Bib Gourmand, ten years deep.

Real Talk

What to actually expect.

Two rooms, two experiences

Downstairs is a Victorian boozer with bar snacks and pints; the proper menu, and the famous tart, lives in the small upstairs dining room. Book if you want the full thing.

Spend honestly

Closer to a restaurant than a pub on the bill. Diners flag Sunday roasts around £35, starters that add up fast. Easy £50+ a head with a drink.

Sunday roast is the headline act

Weekend lunches and Sunday roast book out weeks ahead via OpenTable. Midweek dinners are the quieter way in.
