Loved loved their Sunday roast! Best I had for ages! Nice bloodymary, excellent location and cozy pub feeling. The staff is so helpful, they even changed a drink for my friend and didn't ask for money

Burrata with heirloom tomatoes accompanied with roasted carrots. All was great, delicious & very good quality. The service is very nice. Perfect place !

Pricy but excellent food. Highly recommend the onglet with peppercorn sauce. Home made sauce much nicer than the usual synthetic peppercorn elsewhere. Triple cooked chips also very moreish. A must try

Generally at least one beer for everyone, not often they have a darker one on tap. Good food in the bar. Gets busy so get in early if you're eating downstairs, else book in advance for upstairs.

The roast beef was one of the best I’ve ever tried. Very good quality meat, perfectly cooked and plenty of it. Good craft beer selection. Nice atmosphere.

A great and cozy experience. Recommend the leek and potato soup and the beef roast 👌🏼. You can’t go wrong. You’ll leave feeling warm and full.

The dining room is worth booking. The chicken liver parfait is delicious and the pork belly main is worth the hype. The chips are enormous - 1 portion between 2 is enough.

We tried the pork belly, fish with clams, confit duck and the pork hock with lobster. Everything was delicious. The scallop ceviche was too sweet for my liking though.

Great Sunday roast. Bloody awesome Bloody Mary. No better place to recover from a hangover in east London.

Really great food and lovely staff. Upstairs takes reservations but we managed to walk-in with a group of 6 on a Thursday evening.

Always come here for fish and chips with a cider. Lovely staff! Wouldnt mind a new menu. Friends always get the burger, the hake is lovely :)

Lovely place, the pub and the dining room upstairs are very pleasant. The food is also very good, the fishcake and chocolate fondant were perfect.

Great home-style cooked food, such as the roast with Yorkshire pudding. The rhubarb crumble was to die for, service very attentive. Great selection of beers from all around the world too!
CaterinaFebruary 13, 2011
go for the mixed roast. every single piece on the plate is simply delicious. The chicken is crispy on the outside and moist in the inside, the pork belly is nice and fatty and the beef is excellent

The roasts looked great. I wasn’t so hungry, and my beet and goat cheese salad was perfect. And my bread came with GARLIC butter 🤟🏼

"This old fashioned pub spreads over two floors. The ground floor is a large pub that serves casual food, in a light and airy room. Upstairs is a more formal dining room." Read more

Solid Sunday roast that goes on all night. Really friendly staff in a prime location. You can make reservations at this pub!

After the kitchen refurbishment they somehow managed to make their Sunday roasts even better than before. Absolutely incredible.
Jon ChooOctober 12, 2014
Incredible Sunday roast. One of the best in London.
Joy VJanuary 21, 2016
One of the most delicius polentas in the town!!
Kaarina K.June 13, 2012
Food is great and the staff are wonderful. Get the mixed roast on a Sunday, £15.95, pricey but you get what you pay for. Perfect Sunday setting.

Sunday lunch is served until 8pm in this handsome pub, and both downstairs bar and upstairs restaurant are packed with a convivial crowd for the full eight hours. Read more

The Sunday roast is basically the end of all food enjoyment. Eat it and no longer enjoy anything else that passes your tongue in comparison.
Jennifer HardiOctober 12, 2014
Go for their Sunday roast! Totally amazing!
Marie SteinthalerMay 31, 2015
Nice gastro pub that surprisingly never gets very busy. Great date spot. The food is solid.
AJJune 23, 2016
Oh my that Hampshire pork belly, lentils and mashed potatoes! I thought I wouldn't have finished the lentils but there was nothing left on the plate!
Olive LogieJanuary 17, 2016
Very nice meal in the dining room upstairs. This is a very respectable establishment.

Good Sunday roast. Hit or miss experiences on dinner upstairs. Might suggest staying in the pub.
Kim PhamDecember 20, 2016
Cosy, lovely little gastropub with proper British fare.
Katerina KerrSeptember 21, 2015
Nice food and nice atmosphere. Great place for after work drinks
Jon HartJanuary 30, 2018
Good place if you don’t like cash and being full. Lamb was well presented but didn’t taste remotely special for the price and portion was laughable. Off now to get a pizza to fill myself up.
Phil ParkDecember 13, 2015
Sunday roast Belly of pork shared between two is so tasty

Whole roast chicken on a Sunday, £25 but easily serves two people - delicious

Kitchen opens at 6. Actual restaurant is upstairs but you can order food from the menu down, in the pub as well.

Very tasty roast. The beef roast was really really good

Nice place shame they try to charge us 1 burger and 3 beers that were already paid. Be careful. Otherwise great beers and good size burgers.

Confit Duck, double dip chips, pork belly, mackerel

Good beer from local London breweries. Nearly four quid a pint, mind, but it is Shoreditch
