Truly lovely little place in the heart of Hackney. You'd think Broadway Market was walled off from the rest of Hackney - everyone is so 'young professional'. This is the nicest of the two Boadway Market pubs and, though I need more visits to confirm it, possibly one of London's best, too.

Popped in recently on a London pub crawl after seeing recommendations. 10p a pint cheaper than Hackney's newest, the duke of wellington up the road, and good beer choice (two crouch vales on last Fri, for example). Mixed mainly young punters all seeming to have fun, and good, but pricey food - check out the fish and chips. Closing routine could be a lot gentler than it was tho - look out for the security woman who wants you out 5 mins after you've bought your last order's in, so that's 5 mins to drink a full pint.

Still gets 8/10 as everything else about the pub was good, worth coming down again to do this one.

Paid a visit the other day after hearing ecent reviews from people who really should know better.

First thing you notice is the clientele. I walk up and there's this guy outside wearing one of things allowing one to carry a bairn on one's front. With the kid in it. A fella. At the pub. On a Friday night. What is this world coming to?
Sit down and a group of American/international skool kids come to sit near us, talking incessant inane crap about politics and "the recession" that an AS level student would be embarrassed to utter.

6 staff members at the bar, washing glasses one by one, things felt a bit like a production line to be honest.

now to the beer...
Maldon Gold, drinkable but on its last legs, was £3.20 for a pint of 3.7%abv beer. Absolute fuckin joke.
Perhaps we'll do better with the Belgians we think...
pretty much the same price, for half pint of draught. Not a bottle, not 33cl...a half pint of draught I tell you.

My question is always, how do these morons have money to fill up these drab pubco establishments tarted up as bohemian happenings night after night? dardy's hedge fund?

All exactly indicative of the ongoing rape of E8. Next thing, the three compasses will turn all gastro and ridley road will be full of 30 somethings with gelled hair and countless badly named bowl-cutted blonde kids will be running around there with home counties accents.

I did come up with an idea though...
the "pint of chips" debacle/novelty... they could actually puree the chips and serve it in a pint and patrons could literally drink a pint of chips.

Visited on Friday night and it was pretty packed with lots of people outside. For 6 pumps the range was pretty standard with the only unusual beer on being Crouch Vale Golden Duck. Others were Abbot, Pedigree, Landlord, Flowers with Brewers Gold not being on. Very good range of foreign beer, no idea of the prices.

Decent and worth a visit.

Great selection of beers - English ales and a huge choice of European beers. Good reasonably priced food. Unusual mixed toilets.
