    The Sunday roast was gorgeous as was the Scotch Egg. Make sure you get a bottle of the Malbec house red to go with your meal. Dog friendly too.

    The mint sauce is the star of the lamb roast. Only downside is the proximity to other diners in the back room - I don't need to hear about your sledging plans for 35mins.

    The owners are ex-Soho House, so decor-wise you're in tasteful hands: blood-red leather button-back sofas, soft-lit chandeliers and a few wall-mounted deer antlers for good measure. Read more

    Loved listening to classical music in the loo. Now, roast wise, it is definitely more worth it if you are carnivorous: the veggie stuff is not impressive and it's too expensive for what you get.

    Good but small selection of beer. Very new-Hackney with kids playing on sofas during the day. Table by the step to the right of the bar, the staff are in and out of the room there and it smells funky.

    You feel like you stumbled across a secret. Gets busy but not unbearable. Well decorated (Hemingway would approve)

    Hands down, my favourite local pub. Love the food, the atmosphere and the wine list. Great for pub lunch and late drinks.

    Lovely pub inside and out. The beef Wellington for two is meat perfection.

    A wide selection of premium barley pops on tap, such as Meantime Wheat, Koenig Pils, and Adnams Broadside, all augment-able by a surger unit that'll add extra head at the touch of a button. Read more

    Lovely pub - would have loved to have had a drink but we were told no room due to all tables reserved from six (it was 3pm) 🙄 PASS!

    Amazing sweet potato fries. Perfect for tipping you over the £10 card minimum if two of you are stopping in for a pint.

    Sunday roast that does not suck. Nothing overdone. The beef rare to medium rare, the vegetables crisp and flavorful. Nice thick crispiness on the potatoes.

    This place is eccentric but keeps it classy with Beethoven no 5 playing in the loos http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/london/the-hemingway

    Fantastic veggie burger that's more like a crab cake-veggie burger hybrid.

    Snacks sound better than food. Eaten a few times, good but not amazing (still pricey)

    The scotch egg will make you give up on lesser scotch eggs. So juicy. So right.

    Terrible service! 3/4 meals were delivered quite quickly whereas the fourth took almost an hour with no apology or explanation! Food is nice but not worth the wait.

    There's the stuffed head of an extremely weird animal against the pillar at the bar! Is it a Yeti?
